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.
