Benn Pares is an enemy of the Legion of Super-Heroes.

History

Pares claims to be the greatest burglar in the galaxy, which he demonstrated by breaking into the Legion HQ in broad daylight. He taunted them, claiming he would steal the Miracle Machine in a week's time. As part of his master plan, he controlled a Galactosaur on the other end of the galaxy, which kept all of the Legion occupied. Only Superboy was left to guard the Miracle Machine.

Pares' downfall was dumb luck. When the Legion investigated the Miracle Machine for ways to secure it, they accidentally turned it on. Superboy wished he could get his hands on Pares, and his wish was made true: the burglar appeared out of nowhere in Superboy's grip. He was arrested and imprisoned in the Labyrinth.
