Synopsis for "A Penny for a Black Star"

After training in Mr. Jupiter's survival course (located on the secret 13th floor of a city skyscraper), the former Titans are assigned to a field exercise: to survive in "Hell's Corner," a tough inner-city neighborhood, with only a penny apiece to their names. Menaced by the Hell's Hawks street gang and unable to fight back without abandoning their new pacifist beliefs, the Titans are rescued by the intervention of Mal, a black youth. Taking jobs in Hell's Corner, the Titans encounter Mal again at an amateur boxing event where he is matched against Storm Trooper, leader of the Hell's Hawks, and wins. Mal is recruited by the Titans and joins Mr. Jupiter's program, but feeling unworthy, tries to prove himself by stowing away aboard an experimental rocket flight.
