Super-Companions
A six-member team of super-heroes gathered from disparate solar systems and blackmailed into service as the gladiatorial champions of the planet Thrann. Superboy is recruited to the group by the Thrannian scientist Othar, who threatens to keep the population of Smallville permanently sedated with his "sleep ray" if the young hero refuses to comply. After a recruiting tour of five other worlds, the blackmailed heroes compete in a series of super-feats on Thrann, with Superboy eventually being crowned leader of the group. From their headquarters of Valhalla, the homesick Super-Companions conspire to convince their captors of a conflict between themselves and the Boy of Steel, eventually resulting in their return to their individual planets. Besides Superboy, the members of the group are Liquidman, Shadowman, Stormboy, Telepathy Man, and Tree-Man (Adv No. 371, Aug 1968: "When Superboy Walked Out On The Legion").
