The Brain-Globes of Rambat
The Brain-Globes of Rambat
Alien conquerors from the distant planet Rambat.
In the words of one of the four surviving Brain-Globes: "Eons ago, our race had bodies, but upon acquiring the power to work mental miracles, we discarded the clumsy bodies and assumed this infinitely more efficient brain-globe form…"
Following the destruction of Rambat, the Brain-Globes come to Earth in an attempt at conquest utilizing their mental ability to control people's actions. Superboy and his time-traveling fellow Legion of Super-Heroes members Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl are in turn controlled by the Brain-Globes, and subsequently stymied in their attempts to defeat the plans of these telepathic terrors until Saturn Girl realizes that the Brain-Globes are unable to mentally control super-powered animals!
Using their Time-Bubble, the Legionnaires assemble four "Super-Pets"—one to counter each of the Brain-Globes.
Krypto the Superdog is joined by three Super-Pets from the time of Superman and Supergirl: Streaky the Supercat, Beppo the Super-Monkey and Comet the Super-Horse.
The Super-Pets make quick work of the Brain-Globes, forcing the alien invaders to leave Earth.
This adventure marks the birth of a new band of cosmic protectors—the Legion of Super-Pets (Adv No. 293/1, Feb 1962: "The Legion of Super-Traitors!")!
