Legion of Super-Heroes #10
The Legion captures Elysion, and regroup as a team. They read his mind so they will know where to send teams, and then split up. Invisible Boy is left to guard Elysion, who has more tricks up his sleeve, including suicide bombers in the public square and in the Legion headquarters. In the ensuing fight, contact is lost with the other teams, and Dream Girl is apparently killed.
