Backstory you need: Time Trapper is from the future (the future's future), and his evil plot involves him going back and having the Legion of Super Heroes touch this thing that will de-age them into protoplasmic slime. Yeah, it was the 60s. Any way, the plan fails because they're around a chemical that stops the process with them as toddlers, so he has to take them to a world where another chemical will finish the process. But first!
He has to kick a toddler Invisible Kid square in the ass for no other reason than it's freaking hilarious.
Eventually he gets them to the planet to finish the proscess. (But not before taking advantage of them by talking them into committing super crimes for him. At one point he actually calls himself "Uncle Time Trapper", I swear to god). But damned if they ain't dying quick enough for him. His thought balloon here i find HILARIOUS.
At this point in the issue I'm wondering if time travel will be discovered in my life time, because I swear if I had access to a time machine, I would, in fact, use it to go back in time and write a comic that involved a cranky old bastard telling some kid shut up and turn into goo.
Eventually Superboy and Brainiac 5 show up and the team is made into teenagers again blah blah blah good guys win, but only after making a deal to let the Time Trapper go. What does the Time Trapper do? Set off a weapon to destroy them? Make good his escape before they change their minds? Hell no. That's not how my main man Double T rolls. He calls the Legion to freaking laugh at them. And that is grade A villainy right there.

That's Matter-Eater Lad in the second panel, right? He's a picky eater, considering that Bismollians can eat anything. Spoiled brat.
LOL. Did you know Double T is back? He was just in the latest issue of Action Comics. It looks like every awesomely cheesy and obscure supervillain of yesteryears is being brought back these days. It's the new fad. :D
Uncle Time trapper is back (in a big way). turns out he's the reason for the messed up legion continuity...i think.
anyways Legion had 3 rules. Once a year: the female members would take over!!
the Superpets would have a story!!
and they would all turn into babies!!
3 simple rules that all comics should still follow.
