History: (Marvel Age Annual#1) - A new team of the Lethal Legion came to be, and sent out the Porcupine to track Captain America. When Captain America visited the offices of Marvel Comics, the Lethal Legion began to attack him, but several other super-heroes began to arrive upon the scene to oppose them. The Scourge of the Underworld was also present, and slew the Phone Ranger (possibly by mistake), and the Beyonder witnessed the events. The outcome of the battle is not known, though the heroes presumably won.
Comments: Created by Kurt Busiek, James Fry and Keith Williams.
The unidentified lizard guy (Kurr'fri) was named in the Lethal Legion entry in OHOTMU A-Z Hardcover#6.
