The machine didn't pick the permanent leader, it was to pick the squad leaders for a certain mission. There was a citadel on a planet that would shoot down starships, and the Legion was sent to take care of it. Instead of attacking the citadel en masse, they attacked in teams of 6 or 7 members, so the PCM was used to pick the leaders of each assault team. Naturally, each team got zapped by the citadel (it even had a giant robot that beat the crap out of Colossal Boy).<br /><br />The irony is, in that same story, the Substitute Heroes were the ones that defeated the citadel and saved the day! They even got a ticket tape parade for their actions. wwk5dnoreply@blogger.com
