Notes:
This story was originally part 1 of a 3-part novel, this chapter was originally titled "The Girl of Steel".
This Super-Girl is colored differently (a redhead in an orange and green costume) in this reprint to distinguish her from Supergirl (Kara Zor-El), who had not yet been created when this story first appeared.
This Super-Girl was a try-out to gauge reader reaction to the character.
The caption on the splash page is redone, and the last panel on page 10 was removed from the original and replaced with a mention of the current Supergirl.
Synopsis:
Three teens from the future offer Superboy membership in their super-hero club. But when Superboy fails to complete three simple tasks, the Legionnaires pretend to reject him, until they reveal that the three tasks were merely initiation pranks which proved he is a good sport.
