At some point before meeting Morgan Edge, the second generation of the Newsboy Legion forms, determined to carry on for their dads.

The Newsboy Legion is convinced to accompany Jimmy Olsen on his assignment to The Wild Area. Morgan promised them that ownership of the Whiz Wagon, designed by Legion member Big-Words, would revert to the Legion if Jimmy succeeds in his assignment.

The Legion accompanies Jimmy to the Wild Area, where they are ambushed by The Outsiders. Their attack drives the Whiz Wagon onto a magnetized slab of rock, trapping it. Jimmy and the Newsboy Legion decide to fight it out instead of trying to escape. The Outsiders pin the Newsboy Legion down with dyna-blasts, but Flipper-Dipper sneaks up the stream and ambushes them. The Newsboy Legion work together to overpower The Outsiders. Jimmy lands the knockout punch on their leader, Iron Mask which by Outsider code makes him the new leader.

The Newsboy Legion greet Superman when he wakes. They give him some medicine for the headache left over from the Kryptonite as they welcome him to The Habitat. Jimmy comes in with a map and tells Superman the true nature of his assignment- to find out what the Mountain of Judgment is. To do so, he's also trying to find the original builders of The Habitat and their connection with the Mountain of Judgment.

Yango speaks up, noting that the Mountain of Judgment is more a thing than a place- a dangerous, deadly thing. Jimmy and the Newsboy Legion reaffirm their enthusiasm for the story. Superman tells them that it's too dangerous and he must stop them. Just then, the ground begins to shake, knocking everyone to the ground. Yango states it's the Mountain of Judgment moving, and Jimmy gives orders to begin the hunt, telling Superman not to stop them.
