Oggar-Kon was a condemned criminal sentenced by his homeworld to be frozen in a block of ice and sent into space to float forever in suspended animation. Fortunately for him, a meteor struck his ice-block and deflected him to Earth's south polar icecap, by which process he became unfrozen and free. Using his mind-over-matter powers, he created powerful machines out of ice and threatened to destroy Ice City in Antarctica unless it surrendered to him. However, he was soon captured by the Legion of Super-Heroes, greatly aided by Lana Lang in her Insect Queen identity, who Superboy had brought to visit the 30th Century. Although the Legion did not accept Lana as a member, because her power came from her bio-ring and was not innate, they made her a member of the Legion Reserve.
