Quicksand Won! Who's the Best Legionnaire Starting with the Letter R?

Candidates:

Radiation Roy (Real Name: Roy Travich, Class: Silver Age) is a radiation-based villain and former Legion reject from the Legion of Super-Villains. He doesn't do much besides fill out the ranks of the LSV, but is one of their most consistent members.

Ra's al Ghul (Class: Reboot) is a famously immortal Green Arrow villain who tussles with the Legion during the Reboot after impersonating Leland McCauley. He's very much a different hero's villain made an antagonist to the Legion, but it's a natural fit.

Also, my bad, Ra's al Ghul isn't a Green Arrow villain, he's a Superman villain.

Doctor Regulus (Real Name: Zaxton Regulus, Class: Silver Age) is a monologuing, over-the-top masked super-villain who serves primarily as a rival to Sun Boy, coming back again and again throughout the original continuity and also appearing in the Reboot.

The Resource Raiders (Class: Bronze Age) are basically just mooks for the Legion to fight in the build-up to Earthwar, led by a giant sentient brain. They end up being puppets of the Khunds, who are in turn puppets of the Dark Circle, who are in turn puppets of the real villain.

Rogarth (Real Name: Clave Rogarth, Class: Silver Age) is a member of the Taurus Gang with Kryptonian-level super-strength. That's pretty much it.

Ron-Karr (Class: Silver Age) is a sympathetic member of the Legion of Super-Villains with the power to turn flat, debuting as a Legion reject only a year before the release of the book Flat Stanley. He takes a heroic turn during the Five Year Gap as a member of the resistance force against the Dominators, and makes a similar heroic pivot in the Animated Series, where he's a Chameleon Boy-like shapeshifter.

Roxxas (Real Name: Kivun Roxxas, Class: Silver Age) is the space-pirate who massacred Element Lad's people, and an iconic villain used sparingly enough to be great as a shockingly dark Silver Age villain, the engine for a complex Bronze Age character piece, and as the first main villain of the Five Years Later era.

R'Xalim (Class: Bronze Age) is a doctor at Medicus One who treats Brainiac 5 and Matter-Eater Lad during their temporary insanity before turning bad and becoming a one-shot villain.

Results:

Quicksand: 133

Quanto: 8

Qwardians: 1

Rules:

  1. The character with the most upvotes wins.
  2. No downvoting. Any post found to have 0 upvotes will be given two votes.
  3. A character may appear on this list only once, but is eligible under multiple aliases, so long as they exist. For example, Absorbancy Boy, listed under 'A', may also be a candidate for Earth Man under 'E', so long as he did not win for 'A'.
  4. The character will be listed according to their supervillain name as it is most commonly used, even if that name includes a component of their real name. For example, Roxxas's first name is Kivun, but he's usually just referred to as Roxxas, and so will be listed as 'Roxxas'.
  5. Titles like 'Queen', 'King', 'Lord', 'Lady', 'Prince', 'Princess', 'Professor', 'Doctor', etc. will be excluded for naming purposes. For example, Doctor Mantis Morlo will be categorized under 'M' for Mantis, not 'D' for Doctor.
  6. For characters who are most often referred to by their full names, they will be categorized by their first name, since it comes first. So the aforementioned Leland McCauley will be listed under 'L' for Leland, not 'M' for McCauley.
  7. Villain organizations count individually, alongside and notable members, but villain teams do not. Villain organizations are large-scale organizations composed largely of unnamed, regular members, such as the Dark Circle, the Khunds, and the Dominators. Villain teams are composed solely of individual super-villains who can be voted individually, but not as a collective. Villain teams include the Fatal Five, the Devil's Dozen, the Taurus Gang, and the Legion of Super-Villains.
  8. Anyone who has debuted in a Legion story or fought them or one of their non-Superman members in a significant way counts. While I'd caution against the selection of someone like Major Disaster, who did fight Karate Kid in his solo series, that's not a hard and fast rule and may be necessary for harder letters.
  9. Feel free to give your F**k, Marry, Kills for these villains, too.

Persuader Won! Who's the Best Legion Villain Starting with the Letter Q?

Candidates:

Quanto (Class: Silver Age) is the most sympathetic member of the Taurus Gang, with the power to turn into a beam of pure light and bounce around at super-speed.

Quicksand (Real Name: Anjelika Dugensa, Class: Bronze Age) was Pulsar Stargrave's female assistant with the powers to generate pools of sinking quicksand. She and Holdur were largely created to fill out a classic Luthor-Tessmacher-Otis dynamic with Stargrave that was so popular at the time. What became of her precisely is unknown, but her Who's Who entry reveals her to be an assassin who tried to take out Stargrave before becoming his assistant. After the battle with Stargrave on Colu, she and Holdur vanished off-world and went into hiding. She later briefly appears as Holdur's partner in the reboot. (Insert user comments about missed potential here.)

Results:

Persuader: 121

The Progenitor/The Progeny: 31

Pulsar Stargrave: 14

Phantom Lad: 6

Also shout-out to u/THEVrilDox, who chose to f**k Pulsar (presumably Stargrave, for his fashion sense), marry Psycho-Warrior (because they can purportedly fix him), and kill Prophet because he's so whiney.

First Appearance of Brainiac 5

Sun Boy, Phantom Girl, Triplicate Girl, Shrinking Violet, and Bouncing boy!

Action Comics 276! My best friend found one for me for my birthday! I wanted to share my grail with you all!

It took a lot of effort to get it here, but we finally got it. It got lost in the mail and then sent back to the seller and then my friend had to re-buy it and get it re-shipped out and it just arrived today a month and a half after my birthday, but it’s here.

Seriously, I have the best friend on the face of the planet. This made me so happy.

Ontiir Wins! Who's the Best Legion Villain Starting with the Letter P?

Candidates:

Persuader (Real Name: Nyeun Chun Ti, Class: Silver Age) needs no introduction, a founding member of the Fatal Five and the closest thing the Five has to a normal human, a gangland enforcer with a powerful Atomic Axe that's supposedly a remnant from the sixth World War. He's also the only major Legion villain to appear in live action thanks to Smallville. (My prediction is that he'll get the most votes)

Phantom Lad (Real Name: Solon Darga, Class: Bronze Age) is a member of the Legion of Super-Rejects and is easily the most forgettable member of the group; only he and Chameleon Kid never appeared again. He didn't have any real advantages over Phantom Girl either; he just thought he was stronger. (I don't see how even the Super-Reject fans can love this guy.)

Pharoxx (Class: Bronze Age) was Princess Projectra's jealous cousin who seized the throne in combat and tried to kill the Legion. Later, he aided the Legion of Super-Villains in their attack on Orando, only for them to interrogate and kill them. (Both the build-up to the Great Darkness and the Baxter Era are beloved, so I expect a fair showing for the Prince of Orando.)

The Progenitor (Real Name: >!Jan Arrah!<, Class: Reboot) will be sharing a spot with his creations, the Progeny, since they both start with the same letter and act as one villainous force. They serve as antagonists for the Legion during the Legion Lost mini-series, resulting in the reveal that the so-called Progenitor is >!an insane, immortal Element Lad who kills Monstress. !<(I imagine I'll get a few reboot-heads who pick these guys, since the Blight was so successful.)

Prophet (Real Name: Father Sven Kalikos, Class: Bronze Age) is part of the Omen-Prophet storyline I've given up trying to make heads or tails of.

The Psycho-Warrior (Real Name: Rejik Thomak, Class: Bronze Age) is a tech-based villain who preys on fears, like a really lame version of Scarecrow. The only thing notable about him is that he revealed the exact dates and causes of the Kents' deaths, leading to Superboy's departure from the Legion in 1980.

Pulsar Stargrave (Real Name: Vril Dox, Class: Bronze Age) is what's left of Brainiac in the 31st century, reborn in the heart of a star, who menaces his descendant and frames Ultra Boy for murder. In various iterations he's been brought to the modern times and has only been associated with Brainiac, at one point serving as an assistant for Larfleeze the Orange Lantern. (A good competitor for Persuader's lot. Insert talk of missed potential here.)

Pulsar (Real Name: Benjamin Day, Class: Bronze Age) is one of only two Karate Kid mini-series villains that deserves a mention, since Commander Blud, Master Hand, and the Gyro-Master are simply awful, and he literally just borrowed Major Disaster from other comics. A former assassin forced back into a life of crime when his family is threatened, he eventually finds himself working with Karate Kid when the tables turn. I'll always have a soft spot for him; I think that the Karate Kid mini-series is over-hated. Still, nobody's going to vote for this guy.

Ontiir: 87

Omega: 31

Ol-Vir: 25

Organus: 2

Omen: 2

Nemesis Kid Won! Who's the Best Legion Villain Starting with the Letter O?

Sorry for taking so long for this letter.

Candidates:

Ol-Vir (Class: Bronze Age) was a Daxamite enslaved by Darkseid who stayed loyal to his Apokoliptian master. Ultimately he went for revenge along with the Legion of Super-Villains before eventually being destroyed by Darkseid when he was no longer useful.

Omega (Class: Bronze Age) was a creation of the Miracle Machine created by Brainiac 5 in a madness caused by Pulsar Stargrave who destroyed the second Legion clubhouse. Thankfully Matter-Eater Lad has guys like him for breakfast, and that's more literal than you'd think.

Omen (Class: Bronze Age) is... kind of incomprehensible. I haven't actually read the story where he appears, but something tells me that he wouldn't be much easier to understand even if I had read that story.

Ontiir (Class: Bronze Age) was a reptilian slow-burn villain introduced in Earthwar as a Science Police Officer, only to be revealed as a pivotal agent of the Dark Circle.

Organus (Class: Bronze Age) attacks Medicus One in an early 80s story during the build-up to the Great Darkness Saga. He absorbs energy and is probably someone's favorite because he's one of the first villains defeated by Blok.

Slim pickings.

Results:

Nemesis Kid: 210

Nardo: 3

Neutrax: 0 (But with plenty of honorable mentions)

Shout out to u/HotLlama_8001, who chose to f**k Nemesis Kid (do his powers work in the context of... never mind), marry Novak for the money, and kill Neutrax.

I’ve always thought the Legion were really cool and underutilized but I don’t know as much about them as I’d like. If they got a movie trilogy or series what would you like to see adapted and how?
Edit: I also want to ask which members you’d want on the team

Legion of Super-Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga Omnibus

Source: Near Mint Condition’s Breaking News Video

Hey all! Wanted to share this vid to reiterate DC’s and Near Mint Condition’s call for support and help.

As everyone knows, DC’s collected edition catalogue for the first half of 2027 (Jan-Jun) was announced last week. Of the many announcements, 3 were for Legion of Super-Heroes:

DC Finest: Legion of Super-Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga TP

Legion of Super-Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga Omnibus OHC

Legion of Super-Heroes Volume 1 TP (2026 series)

The video I linked above pertains specifically to the Omnibus. Some people noted how some issues were “excluded” or “missing” issues based on the conflicting enumeration/information that appeared in the Edelweiss catalogue, the Penguin Random House site, and League of Comic Geeks. Dom/NMC talks about it at around the 6:46 mark on the video. I won’t share beyond that out of respect to NMC who’ve worked hard to foster a relationship with DC Comics.

Just my own thoughts: While this pertains specifically to the Omnibus, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that the DC Finest edition may likewise be impacted if the outcome of this request is significant enough.

Please watch and see how you or someone you know can answer their call for help.

Am a relatively new legion fan and was excited to discuss things with the new book coming soon, but man o man there were just too dang many Ai posts. Sorry. Had to just vent for a moment. Is there a discord or something thereabouts to join and talk and have fun in?

Well, I don't know how I should feel about this number.

Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 4 #28​ was quite an experience—one that leaves you deeply shaken. The ending really feel shocked; it makes you suffer, weep, and seethe with rage, all while leaving you speechless regarding a character we have watched grow up—and whose flaws once amused us.

Mordru Won! Who's the Best Legionnaire Starting with the Letter N?

Candidates:

Nemesis Kid (Real Name: Hart Druiter, Class: Silver Age) was a Legion imposter on behalf of the Khunds who was revealed, leading to a life of crime as a founding member of the Legion of Super-Villains. During his career, he appeared with each iteration of the present-day LSV, briefly fought Karate Kid solo in the past, and was ultimately the one to kill Val on Orando before Princess Projectra shows him how much of a head-turner she can really be.

Neutrax (Real Name: Wi Kan Muur, Class: Bronze Age) is a half-Professor X, half-Cyclops member of the League of Super-Assassins with the power to shoot a beat of energy that neutralizes powers and sits in a floating chair. He later joins the Legion of Super-Villains.

Norak (Real Name: Norak Kun, Class: Bronze Age) is a Naltorian genetic surgeon and one of the five founders of the Dark Circle who I believe is only named in the Who's Who articles.

Results:

Mordru: 171

Doctor Mayavale: 8

Anyone wonder why Darkseid didn't seem to change the members of the Absolute Legion as much as he did others?

I am wondering why the Absolute Legion appear to be very similar to the original universe counterparts. Darkseid did change the heroes of the Absolute Universe to be different than they should have been (Wonder Woman uses magic, Superman has the cape, Batman has the axe)

Lightning Lord Won! Who's the Best Legion Villain Starting with the Letter M?

Candidates:

Alright, time to describe a dozen Glup Shitto Lads (characters nobody cares about except that one commenter whose first Legion story had them as the villain) only for basically everybody to vote for Mano or Mordru.

Magnetic Kid I (Real Name: Xaxan, Class: Silver Age) was a Murran infiltrator with the power to magnetically control organic life-forms. The only things this guy really does is be hard to talk about thanks to Pol taking the name later on.

Magno Lad (Real Name: Kort Grezz, Class: Bronze Age) is a Braalian magnetic-controller who was one of the Legion of Super-Rejects before joining the Legion of Super-Villains.

Magpie (Real Name: Merg Gaterra, Class: Bronze Age) is a master thief (implied to be a rival of Benn Pares) who tried to steal a time chip from the Legion during a Bronze Age story.

Mano (Class: Silver Age) is a member of the Fatal Five who destroyed his own world with his touch of death. After that fantastic introductory feat, he then proceeds to never lay a hand on a Legionnaire, except when he's accidentally set his hand to only burn them for some reason. Since then, he's popped up every time the Fatal Five has until the Dark Man Saga, after which he failed to get into the new Fatal Five. Eventually he works for Starfinger III during Five Years Later, and becomes more sympathetic during the Reboot.

Doctor Mantis Morlo (Class: Silver Age) is a fun recurring bad guy who created an army of Chemoids to take over Orando, and then returns building muck monster in the sewer in the aftermath of Earthwar. He also shows up in the Reboot for an issue. My favorite moment is in his original two-parter, where he's about to blow up the Earth with a death ray, but first has to paint a big red target on the Earth to that he knows where to aim his death ray.

Doctor Mar Londo (Class: Adaptational) is in the comics but is only a villain in the animated series. Combining aspects of both Tyr and Mantis Morlo from the comics, Mar Londo experiments on his own son, creating Timber Wolf, and creates an army of Chemoid-like Bio Golems, eventually framing Timber Wolf for his own murder.

Doctor Mayavale (Class: Bronze Age) is a weird monk who has an obsession with karmic balance after reincarnation, and turns to evil, and has six synthetic arms... honestly, he's one of those weird Bronze Age concepts that most people blame the Silver Age for.

Lady Memory (Class: Bronze Age) was a priestess of the mountain people of Talok VIII who sought to overthrow the civilized parts of Talok VIII, ultimately facing off against Shadow Lass. She was later redeemed, marrying Shadow Lass's brother.

Micro Lad (Real Name: Lalo Muldroon, Class: Bronze Age) was an Imskian nationalist who joined up with the Legion of Super-Rejects, masterminded the replacement of Shrinking Violet by Yera, and ultimately joined the Legion of Super-Villains. He's got quite a resume for a relatively weak villain.

Mist Master (Real Name: Yer Sti-Tuan, Class: Silver Age) is a member of the League of Super-Assassins who can turn into any gas. He later joins the Legion of Super-Villains.

Modulus (Class: Silver Age) is a strange being with the power of a living planet, called Modo, who chooses to use his immense powers to be a drug dealer.

Molecule Master (Class: Bronze Age) is one of those characters that was put into the story to fulfill an Adult Legion prophecy as the one who killed Reflecto. Long story short, he was an android who tried to steal the Miracle Machine and was later revealed to be a pawn of the Time Trapper.

Mordru the Merciless (Class: Silver Age) is a master of black magic with control over Zerox. One of the most powerful beings in the universe and at times the Legion's deadliest foe (competing only with the likes of Darkseid, the Time Trapper, Glorith, the Infinite Man, and almost Pulsar Stargrave), he is responsible for one of Jim Shooter's best two-parters, masterminded Earthwar, and also was responsible for some annoying stories in the early 70s. Nowadays he's often considered a Doctor Fate villain or something, but real ones know that he's a Legion foe through and through.

Mystelor (Real Name: Zera Oliet, Class: Silver Age) was a Titanian telepath and the only female member of the Taurus Gang. She was frequently hit on by Shagrek but had feelings for Quanto, and was eventually impersonated by Dream Girl. Eventually she reformed and got with Quanto. Good for her.
