r/LegionofSuperheroes

Unfortunately most of my Legion of Superheroes knowledge comes from this show. So sorry about that. That being said if loved how this show handled Brainiac 5. And I loved Superman x, I kinda wish he appeared in the comics or a new season. I mean we got the original the original Brainiac returning, 5 is now human, Clark is gone. There is a lot that could be done. Plus I love the idea of Kara showing up and meeting Kell-El. She joins the legion in a lot of continuties after all.

Also yeah I agree with that Anon. I adore that Kell-El acted like a big brother figure to Abel and Zyx. That's just such an interest relationship that it would be fun to explore. Abel and Zyx meeting would be very interesting. They are pretty different in a lot of ways. Like Abel is much softer and shy meanwhile Zyx is hyperactive and bratty. But there is something very intriguing about the two when you think about it. They both have villains sides, Abel in at least one future becomes a villain working for darksied and Zyx had a brief stint as villain in Child's Play. But deep down they both have big hearts full of goodness, both actually do care about others and both want to be heroes. Heck in the beginning of Child's Play Zyx looked up to Superman and wanted to be a hero like him. Plus Abel is tech focused and Zyx is magic focused so that could be used for some fun story telling. Imagine if they get to do some home alone stuff in the Legion base.

So yes I would love for Abel and Zyx to comeback and get to meet each other. Especially if we get more Kell-El being a big brother. Also i wonder how Abel and Zyx would react to Supergirl. Kara would probably adore them and help Kara be a great big brother. Though Superman X is doing a very good job. It's pretty obvious that Abel and Zyx see Kell-El as a big brother but how would they see each other. Also I agree that Abel and Zyx are adorable but I find their personalities and interactions with Superman X far more interesting and the reason I want them to return. I would love for them to get a couple of more episodes especially if they get to meet.

Also yeah the Zeroxian council fucking suck. They mistreated and screwed over both Phantom Girl and Zyx. One of which is a teen and the other is a child. Including causing them to get hurt. Anyone else fine with the idea of Brainiac getting rid of the council?

Also I would love to see how the whole legion would react to Kara. She would be the third kryptonian to join the legion and she is typically considered to be more powerful than her cousin in most continuties. Plus her and Brainiac 5 usually being paired together. And again it would be interesting to see her and Superman X interact.

Sorry that this post is so long and ranty. There is so much potential for a season 3. Especially with Brainiac 5 being human. The original Brainiac being back, and Superman X being a full time member now.

I'm not really a Legion of Super-Heroes reader (I have been interested in checking them out after reading Geoff Johns' fantastic Action Comics storyline, Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes), so when I got to the LOSH issues of the second Man of Steel hardcover, I was a little lost at first with what was going on.

I was able to figure it out more later on, and I know this is meant to be a Pocket Universe version of Superboy (and not the Earth-1 version), but I feel it's something that people don't bring up enough here. Especially with the new LOSH reboot happening recently.

Regardless, I did enjoy the issues, though. And even as someone who didn't read LOSH, but was able to gain context of it via the Geoff Johns storyline, I did have a bit of an emotional reaction when Superboy sacrificed himself to prevent Time Trapper from destroying his Earth and to help the other Legion members get back to their time safely.

But still, I'd like to see more thoughts shared about it. If there are any out there?

Rules:

1. The comment with the most upvotes wins, so before commenting make sure to check if someone else has already commented your pick.
2. The Issue or Story categories can be a single-issue (i.e. The Legionnaire Who Killed), a two-parter (i.e.) Mordru the Merciless, or a multi-part saga (i.e. the three-part Dark Man Saga, the four-part Omen Saga, the five-part Great Darkness Saga, etc.)
3. The Legionnaire can be an active member, a reservist, an honorary member, a Substitute, or a Legion Academy member. They can even be an alternate timeline member, so long as that alternate timeline is associated with that version of the Legion.
4. The eras are defined as such:

• The Silver Age encompasses any story featuring the Legion from their debut in Adventure Comics #247 in 1958 to their final Action Comics back-up story in Action Comics #392 in 1969.
• The 1970s encompasses any story featuring the Legion from their first Superboy back-up story in Superboy #172 in 1971 to their final story of the 1970s in Superboy & the Legion of Super-Heroes #258 in 1979. If necessary, we can also include the follow-up issue, #259, as part of the '70s, since it finishes the two-parter and is the issue where Superboy officially leaves. This also includes the Karate Kid mini-series, if that becomes relevant.
• Volume 2 encompasses any story featuring the Legion between The Legion of Super-Heroes (Volume 2) #259 in 1980 and #313 in July 1984. Note that it also encompasses stories published during this time that feature the Legion but aren't published in Volume 2, like Secrets of the Legion.
• Volume 3, also known as the Baxter Series, encompasses any story featuring the Legion between Legion of Super-Heroes (Volume 3) #1 in 1984 and The Legion of Super-Heroes #63 in 1989. Note that it also encompasses stories published during this time that feature the Legion but aren't published in Volume 3, like Tales from the Legion and Legionnaires 3.
• 5 Years Later encompasses any story featuring the Legion between Legion of Super-Heroes (Volume 4) #1 in 1984 and the myriad Legion Zero Hour titles in September 1994.
• The Reboot (Pre-Blight) encompasses any story published between October 1994's Legion of Super-Heroes (Volume 4) #0 and the collapse of the Legion in March 2000's Legion of Super-Heroes (Volume 4) #125 featuring a version of the Reboot Legion.
• The Reboot (Post-Blight) encompasses any story published between May 2000's Legion Lost #1 and November 2004's Teen Titans/Legion of Super-Heroes Special #1 featuring the Reboot Legion.
• The Threeboot encompasses any story between December 2004's Legion of Super-Heroes (Volume 5) #1 and March 2009's Legion of Super-Heroes (Volume 5) #50 featuring the Threeboot Legion. It's the Threeboot; no breaks; it's not complicated.
• The Retroboot Legion encompasses any story featuring the Retroboot Legion, from the Lightning Saga leading into Infinite Crisis and the New 52. The (re-)introduction of this Legion is so weird that I'm not even going to try to give issue numbers. Suffice it to say that the Retroboot Legion has arcs in Adventure Comics, Action Comics, and Justice League, along with being the Legion featured in Volumes 6 - 7.
• The Rebirth (Bendisboot) Legion speaks for itself, and exists in a six-part Volume 8, a two-part Future State story, and the five-part JSA crossover.
• The Animated Series encompasses all twenty-six episodes of the 2000s animated Legion series, along with the The Legion of Super Heroes in the 31st Century companion comic. It does NOT encompass other animated adaptations.
• As much as I enjoy other adaptations of the Legion, there just isn't enough there to include on this list. Also not included is the new series, which, in spite of a promising start, just doesn't have enough material yet.

Yes another post about this is another post on the cartoon.

I would love to see Kara in the show. I mean Supergirl joins the Legion in the comics, the DCAU, and the animated movies. Plus I think it would be fun to see her interact with this version of Brainy. It would also be cool to see her interact with Kell-El aka Superman X.

Bart Allen is known to timetravel. Plus I like Impulse's look. I could see him looking up to the Legion with him being a young hero. Maybe he would want to join the legion.

I think it would be cool to see some Green Lanterns purely because of the idea of the Emerald Empress being connected to them. I wouldn't mind seeing some yellow and starsapphire corp members. I want the red lanterns but that is mostly because it would be awesome to see red lantern Supergirl in animation.

I would love to see John Kent Superboy and Damian Wayne Robin. Although that is mostly because I liked the super sons. That being said John and Kell-El could have some interesting interaction. Damian would probably be at least intrigued by the legion and it would be neat to have a batman character join a group associated with Superman's history. Plus I think they could be good friends with Abel and Zyx.

Admittedly i included Aaron Langstrom mostly because I think he is underrated. He is the Son of Kirk Langstrom. He was born a hybrid and doesn't have a human form unlike his father, mother, and sister. That being said he has been shown to be more sapient than his family's batforms. He has the instincts but they don't control him. He doesn't act like an animal or monster unless completely corned and even then he can stop himself. Plus he saved batman a couple of times in the comics. The legion timetravel a lot so it is possible to include him and the supersons. I feel like Aaron deserves more attention.

Mon-el is usually a member of the legion and is even considered Superman's brother by sups himself. Plus the lore between Daxamites and Kryptonians is interesting. Kinda surprised he isn't already in the show. The same goes for Zod, if we got a season three those two where ones that I would have loved to see.

What about you guys?
