Salaan, a teenager jealous of Adam’s glory releases Kanjar Ro and declares
to the heroes that he will recapture him just as easily, taking some of
Adam’s armor with him, and incapacitating Superman with Kanjar’s Kryptonite
wand. Upon release, however, Kanjar then takes on Salaan himself, having
been insulted at Salaan’s treatment of him. Adam and the league take on
Kanjar Ro but he attempts to escape. Adam tells him glory does not matter to
him but the protection of Rann. He lets Salaan shoot down Kanjar’s jet pack
