Comment(s):

This entire story takes place during what is later revealed to be an alternate timeline, created by the Time Trapper as a test for the feature characters. Said feature characters are the only "real" ones in this issue, as all others are purely part of this timeline.
This issue also features a flashback to the origin of these "golden age" Legionnaires. It's unclear whether or not it actually happened for the feature characters, or their time in this timeline was limited to simply what we saw in this issue.

Solicitation:

A mysterious force plants the Legionnaires smack into the middle of World War II, altering their powers, costumes and memories to fit that era! Can the likes of Cosmic Boy, nightclub mentalist Saturn Girl, generator-powered Lightning Lad, and the other jetpack-wearing heroes of the Legion defeat the evil Axis?
