Synopsis:
Several children watch a Ferro Lad holo-vid. When they return home one of the children chooses to watch another video revealing the true story of Ferro Lad. Narrated by Ferro Lad's mother, the story goes on to tell the story of Ferro Lad, Andrew Nolan, and his brother Douglas. Both possessed the power to turn their bodies into iron. Andrew joined the Legion and met his tragic end during the defeat of the Sun-Eater. Douglas escaped to a world of dreams with the help of Brainiac 5. When the video concludes, the older boys run off to play, but the younger girl wants to watch the video again.
