Legion of Superheroes - Lead up to Season 3 - A Tree Grows in Metropolis

During what should have been a routine mission at a powersphere in Bayouopolis, Kid Skid was set aflame by the homicidal villain Sun Emperor. Dousing the flames in the nearby swamp, he found himself possessed by the Green energy of the Earth, which manifested as a ghost of Alec Holland, a previous host of the power. Although, the Green gave Skid increased powers, the plant life in the swamp and then around the Earth began dying. Holland compelled Skid to take the Green to his home planet of Ghoran Prime and deposit it deep with the ancient structure known as the Node.

Earth’s biosphere, however, died completely. Antonio Stefanacci (Former Curator of the Museum of Mystic Arts in Sanangelopolis, Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, Assistant Instructor at the Legion Academy, Wearer of the Helm of Nabu, and Servant of the Lords of Order) devised a spell that, with the proper ingredients gathered by our heroes, allowed Kid Skid to jumpstart the biosphere. Plant life once again flourished across Earth, at the cost of Skid’s life. Just hours after his induction into the Legion, they mourned his death and planted a tree in his honor.

But Skid, still present in disembodied form in the Earth, was able to concentrate his essence in this tree and regrow his body, though as a child. Will it be the same Skid of old, or something new?
