In this way he created a Legion of Super-Monsters, consisting of an Earthquake Beast, Eye Monster, Mirror Monster, Drill Beast, and Omnibeast. He rejected a super-spinner beast because its whirlwind was not powerful enough, and a gas creature because its power to vaporize at will was interesting but “not useful enough”.
Vowing revenge on the Legion, Jungle King travelled to a bizarre planet called Monster World (one assumes this is not its official designation!). He now began to call himself Monster Master. Monster Master set up lures to bring creatures to him, then took control of them and commanded them to show their abilities. Jungle King left in a rage, swearing that the Legionnaires would find they’d made a big mistake rejecting him. The Legionnaires were left wondering if his father’s experiments had warped Jungle King’s mind and personality. He had to be rescued by Sun Boy, and the Legion rejected him for his lack of control. Jungle King went to a Legion try-out accompanied by an untamed borlat (a six-legged tiger, basically), demonstrating his “absolute” control over it. But while telling the story of his origin, he forgot to maintain his concentration, and the borlat charged him. The youth decided that he could use this power to become a Legionnaire. He applied to become a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes under the name Jungle King. Monster Master, real name unrevealed, was the son of an expert animal trainer named Dez-Nu. Dez-Nu wanted to make his son the greatest of all animal trainers. He performed experiments on the boy. He eventually found a way to alter his brain structure so that he could project “hypno-mental commands” that controlled animals.
