Everyone knows that Korlo once managed to kill several Legionnaires with poison, only to have his work undone by the Miracle Machine, but I like to think that he managed to commit a number of other spectacular crimes that were also undone by a deus ex machina!
Suggestions for further Korlo stories?

Korlo manages to electrocute the entire Legion in an energy blast. However, in a battle of the Endless they all do so well that Death allows them to return to life a second after the electrocution. The Legionnaires simply just get up and arrest Korlo.

He's one of my favorite villains! He's like the Joker of the 31st Century!

I love that time he rigged all those centuries old Dominator bombs to blow up the Earth! Luckily the Miracle Machine rebooted the Legion continuity via some "Zero Hour" storyline so the Earth would live again! Good ol' miracle machine!

I believe that in his first encounter with the Legion, he managed to defeat the first few members of the team using the Cyclopean robot from the fake Sun Boy story!
Unfortunately, his success in this case was undone by Anti-Lad messing with the timestream!

Poor Korlo. He should get together with the Psycho Pirate so they can reminisce about "what used to be". You know, before all those reality-rebooting events.

I was imagining him a bit like Per Degaton. So many near conquests, and yet everyone always ends up thinking of him as a minor crook.

That's exactly what I was thinking of. Korlo always ending up washing the test tubes.

And then there was that time Korlo spent a year and a half stealing mystical artifacts from private collections on Earth, Orando, Talokk VIII, Avalon and the Sorcerer's World in an attempt to gain vast magical power, only to accidentally awaken Mordru with it, who absorbed it all and went on to have a massive battle with the Legion of Super-Heroes, which got all the press, and nobody even knew that Alex Korlo (mentioned in the news article as one of his 'museum security guard' victims, found unconscious at the site of the battle!) was involved!

Don't forget that time he drunkenly told Brainy to create a second Omega to really make sure the universe was destroyed...which really backfired!

With the Legion scattered to the solar winds after he sprung his trap for them all on Talok, everything looked great for Korlo. He was in control of the UP.
What a pain that Saturn Queen, Lightning Lord and Cosmic King went back in time and engaged the Legion, leading to them never having travelled to Talok at all. Poor Korlo, having to sell 2nd hand traps on Q-Bay just to pay the bills.
