I have a feeling that the sleeper agent turns out not one of the General Zod's agent....more likely either one member of Espionage Squad or a LSV's own espionage squad (as pointed out by Cryo-Kid...err....Cryo-King).

Dead Stealth... Dead Despero... Crappy new Starro...
People keep saying that R.E.B.E.L.S. is good but everything I'm seeing of it points to the opposite.
