It is engulfed in flames and falls into the sea when attacked by Stormboy as part of a ruse to convince the Thrannians that the Super-Companions are at war amongst themselves, resulting in the heroes' return to their individual planets of origin (Adv No. 371, Aug 1968: "When Superboy Walked Out On The Legion").
