(R.E.B.E.L.S. #1, 2) - Vril Dox received a subspace transmission warning him to flee because L.E.G.I.O.N. was about to be taken away from him, and further directing him to go to Earth, locate Supergirl, and speak the word "cephalophore" to her. Vril was indeed usurped, and fled to Earth with extraterrestrials Tribulus, Skwaul, Amon Hakk, and Getorix in pursuit. Supergirl saved him, he spoke the mneumonic trigger, and her heat-vision activated, burning code into a blank CD he held in front of her. He decoded the disc, which gave schematics, and told Supergirl the tech he needed to build it. She couldn't help but feel she was being manipulated, but she was curious about who implanted code into her head. They went to an Antarctic science station so Vril could build the device, and it was a message from the 31st century from his descendant Brainiac 5. Brainiac said he'd put data in Supergirl's head before she left the Legion because he had no intention of Vril being the last of their great house. There were no further records of Vril from the 31st Century archives, so Brainiac sent him files on the Legion of Super-Heroes so he could construct the perfect team, and said Supergirl would be an excellent first choice. The bounty hunters found them, and Vril asked Amon what happened to him, a former honored member of L.E.G.I.O.N., and Amon said Vril ruined his life like he ruined everything he touched. Vril dodged Amon's plasma blast, which hit Getorix, killing him. Vril realized Getorix was controlling the monstrous Tribulus with a cranial implant, so he removed it, and had Supergirl implant it in him with her heat vision. Vril had Tribulus knock out Supergirl, saying he had no further use for her, and flew off with Tribulus in tow. Brainiac yelled at him for going off plan, and Vril said he preferred an unquestioning and unmerciful asset like Tribulus over the willful Supergirl, and deactivated his connection to Brainiac 5.
