Synopsis:
Klarion the Witch Boy has reversed the relative ages of many of Earth's greatest
heroes, with Superboy remaining initially unaffected, though he soon begins to feel
unwell. His evil clone, Match, flies off to Cadmus, to where Wonder Girl soon airlifts
Superboy for treatment while the other heroes scatter, agreeing to meet up once more in
the Justice Cave.
The Contessa is pleased with the negative press the heroes are receiving and moves
forward with her plans, while the Guardian searches out the staff of Cadmus, held in
suspended animation during the Agenda's cloning programme. A battle soon breaks out
between genuine and cloned Cadmus staff and between Superboy and his doppleganger Match.
Jealous of the Agenda's success, Dabney Donovan releases a viral agent which kills
off all of their clones, save Match who escapes just in time. Superboy is now finally able
to receive treatment from Dr Roquette, who discovers that the aging spell is at war with
Superboy's cellular structure. She rectifies this, and the kid is suddenly much older,
with a cape.
He is then reunited with Tana Moon, but only in time for Amanda Spence to kill her
in cold blood and make good her escape, leaving Superboy to mourn his loss.
