Synopsis
Watching from his vantage point at the end of time, the Time Trapper decides to use Superboy-Prime as a weapon against his constant foes, the Legion of Super-Heroes. He directs Prime towards the 31st century, where Prime discovers the Superman Museum in Smallville. Prime is angered to see that he has been relegated to nothing more than a footnote in Superman’s history, and goes on a rampage until he learns of the Legion of Super-Villains.
Meanwhile, Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl attempt to sway the opinions of the United Planets Council, to no avail. The U.P. has decided that it no longer has a use for the Legion, and advises its founders to grow up.
Phantom Girl, Lightning Lass and Shadow Lass rescue Mon-El from the Phantom Zone. Mon-El, having been in the Zone for so long, is weak, and must recharge under the yellow sun.
Polar Boy visits Sun Boy and tries to get him to rejoin the team. Sun Boy realizes that the universe doesn’t want the Legion anymore. His passion is gone, and he’s burnt out.
At the U.P. Council, things aren’t going well for the Legionnaires until their founder, R.J. Brande, arrives to speak on their behalf. He wants to tell them all why the Legion must always exist. The members of the U.P. agree to listen.
Prime invades Takron-Galtos and frees Lightning Lord, Saturn Queen and Cosmic King, who revere him as their inspiration. They have longed for the day when he would come and lead the Legion of Super-Villains to their final victory.
Brande speaks to the U.P., making his case for the Legion’s existence. His speech is cut short when his former rival, Leland McCauley, shoots and kills him. As Brande dies, he morphs into his true form, that of a Durlan, which stokes the fires of xenophobia running rampant throughout the galaxy. The Science Police arrive to take the three Legionnaires into custody, but they resist. McCauley crumbles to dust before their eyes, a victim of the Time Trapper’s machinations.
Things go from bad to worse across the galaxy. Earth has accused Durla of espionage, and Chameleon Boy has gone missing. Dream Girl is nowhere to be found, and Element Lad is missing in action. Cosmic Boy can’t get in touch with Blok, Wildfire or Dawnstar. A small group of Legionnaires assemble to say goodbye to R.J. Brande.
Later, the Legion is in the middle of squabbling about what their next course of action is when an alert grabs their attention.
In the 21st century, Superman receives a distress call from the Legion. His flight ring transports him to the future, where his friends show him that a giant “S” has been burned into the surface of Takron-Galtos. Prime had freed every prisoner on the planet. With the situation looking grim, Brainiac 5 suggest that they enlist the aid of the Legions of Super-Heroes from two parallel universes. Superman says that they might have to do something drastic in order to defeat Prime, such as redeem him…
Notes
Okay, just to start off with, a disclaimer – I am NOT a Legion expert. My realm of experience and proficiency lies with the DC Universe proper, and although I can recite team line-ups of the JLA and the Titans backwards and forwards, my knowledge of Legion history is not as extensive. I will admit to being an avid fan of the group ever since Keith Giffen’s “Five Year Later” stories and onward, which is a good twenty-year run or so. But I am not walking into this assignment trying to pass myself off as some lifelong Legion fan, so I apologize in advance if I do not point out every obscure reference.
Secondly, for clarity’s sake, I have come up with my own terminology to talk about each of the three Legions appearing in this series. The “Classic Legion” is the one that appeared from 1958 all of the way up until the events of Zero Hour, the one that recently reappeared in “The Lightning Saga” and the recent “Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes arc in Action Comics #858-863. While their history seems unchanged from what was originally published by DC Comics, it seems to deviate after the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths. For example, no “Magic Wars,” no “Five Year Gap,” no Dominator-controlled Earth, no Earth blows up, etc.
The “Reboot Legion” is the one that appeared post-Zero Hour, up until the Teen Titans/Legion of Super-Heroes Special #1. They reappeared for a single panel in Infinite Crisis #6, where it was revealed that they lived on Earth-247.
The “Current Legion” is the one currently being published by DC Comics.
If you want to use other terminology, that’s great, but this is what I’m using for the purposes of this blog.
Moving on…
Page 1: The Time Trapper, real name unrevealed. First appeared in Adventure Comics #317. Has the ability to control and manipulate time. Pretty freaking powerful guy, if you ask me. He lives at the end of time, which is a fairly depressing place.
Page 2: Earth-Man was defeated by Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes, as seen in Action Comics #863.
Page 3: Jun and Mara are supposed to be 31st century analogues for Jonathan and Martha Kent, albeit less open-minded ones.
Page 4: Superboy-Prime, real name Kal-El of Krypton, also known as Clark Kent of Earth. First appeared in DC Comics Presents #87. He’s from Earth-Prime, a world that was destroyed in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Since that time, he was trapped in a paradise dimension with the Superman and Lois Lane of Earth-Two, and the Alexander Luthor of Earth-Three, and then escaped back to reality to show Earth’s heroes what a real hero is like. This “real hero” then proceeded to kill and maim a lot of people, destroy a few worlds, and then aid the Sinestro Corps. He’s been a naughty boy. He technically last appeared in Countdown to Final Crisis #13, but if you want to forget about that whole series (and, really, who doesn’t?) then he most recently appeared in Green Lantern (fourth series) #25.
“I’m not Superboy.” Prime has an issue with people calling him “Superboy,” as you can see.
Page 5: Confused about the writing above the door to the Superman Museum? Don’t be. It’s in Interlac, the language of choice for the United Planets in the 31st century. It’s based on Terran English, with liberal additions from other Terran languages. Basically, each symbol corresponds to one of twenty-six letters. I am by no means an Interlac expert, but it’s one of those things that, once you start recognizing the symbols, it becomes incredibly easy to read. I’ll be translating the Interlac as we go along. It was first mentioned in Adventure Comics #379.
Interlac (above door): SUPERMAN MUSEUM
Pages 6 & 7: Hoo-boy. What was I thinking, annotating a George Pérez-drawn Legion series? I must be mad…
Okay, the holographic images, from left to right…
Top tier –
Ma & Pa Kent with an adolescent Clark Kent;
Clark Kent and Lois Lane on their wedding day;
Clark Kent with Perry White and Jimmy Olsen;

And The Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Superman, the Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern and Batman, the founders of the Justice League of America.
Bottom tier –

And Superboy, Connor Kent of Earth, a clone of both Superman and Lex Luthor, who died in Infinite Crisis #6.
Okay, moving on…
The huge golden statue in the center of the room is an updated representation of Superman’s pose on the cover of Action Comics #1.
On the dais in the background is a depiction of Jonathan and Martha Kent finding the infant Kal-El in his spaceship. Above them hovers the doomed planet Krypton, which orbits the red sun Rao.
On the first floor, slightly to the left, is a crystalline model of Kal-El’s ship. Reflected in the glass dome around it are images of Jor-El and Lara, Kal-El’s parents. Note that, post-Infinite Crisis, Krypton and Kryptonian technology reflect the vision of Krypton as seen in Superman: The Movie. It’s all spiky and crystal-like.
Almost there…
The life-sized models of those important to Superman are, from left to right, Jonathan “Pa” Kent, Martha, “Ma” Kent, Peter Ross, Lana Lang, Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Perry White.
Whew.
What I am complaining about I have no idea. I haven’t even gotten to the multiple Legions yet…
Page 8: “Hello there, strange visitor!” “Strange visitor from another planet” was how the Adventures of Superman television series described the title character.
Jimmy Olsen, full name James Bartholomew Olsen. First appeared in Superman (first series) #13. Superman’s pal and a photographer for the Daily Planet.
The “Hall of 1,000 Olsens” depicts some of Jimmy’s many transformations over the years. They include…
Giant Turtle Boy, Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #53;
Human Flame-thrower Jimmy, Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #33
Elastic Lad, Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #31;
Gorilla Jimmy, Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #24;
Jimmy Olsen, Freak (really fat Jimmy in the red suit), Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #59

“The World of 1,000 Olsens” was a story that appeared in Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #105.
Page 9: The bottle city of Kandor made its first appearance in Action Comics #242. The story of its miniaturization and abduction by Brainiac 1 was recently retold in Action Comics #866.
Nightwing and Flamebird were originally identities adopted by Superman and Jimmy Olsen in Superman (first series) #158 so that they could fight crime, like Batman and Robin, in Kandor. Later, in Superman Family #183, Kandorians Van-Zee and Ak-Var donned the identities. Covers for the upcoming “New Krypton” storyline tease at the possibility of a new Nightwing and Flamebird.
Interlac (above photographs, Panel 2): OLSEN PHOTO
“I had a signal watch that gave off a hypersonic alarm only he could –“ Jimmy Olsen’s signal watch first appeared in Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #1.
“The secret origin of Superman!” Unlike many of DC heroes, Superman has not received a new, updated origin post-Infinite Crisis. Thus it is still unknown what elements comprise his back history at this time, simply because there have been several retellings of his origin over the past few years. What Jimmy recounts here, however, are the broad strokes.
Interlac (above the Supermen): PORTRAIT GA (presumably GALLERY)
Okay, this is really cool. Notice how all of these Superman portraits look just a little different? Well, they seem to be done by different Superman artists through the ages.
Interlac (below the Supermen, from left to right): SHUSTER (Joe Shuster); BORING (Wayne Boring); SWAN (Curt Swan); GARCIA-LOPEZ (José Luis Garcia-Lopez); NE (I presume it is supposed to be Gil KANE); LIEFELD (Rob Liefeld); and in the foreground, PÉREZ (George Pérez)
Note the accent mark over the Interlac “E”.
Page 10: The Phantom Zone first appeared in Adventure Comics #283. The projector is used to transport individuals to and from the Zone.
Ah, the Legion of Super-Heroes. This is, of course, the “Classic” team here. Took them long enough to show up in this book, didn’t it? I will go into individual real names, first appearances and abilities as they show up in the series, but I can’t resist a good old-fashioned, George Pérez group shot. Starting with the front row, and going back and forth, we have…
Phantom Girl, Dawnstar, Brainiac 5, Saturn Girl, Superman, Shrinking Violet, Cosmic Boy, Sun Boy, Chameleon Girl, Lightning Lad, Invisible Kid (II), Wildfire, Ultra Boy, Lightning Lass, Blok, Shadow Lass, Timber Wolf, Night Girl, Polar Boy and Colossal Boy (legs only)

Page 12: Superboy-Prime’s armor, which was cobbled together out of pieces of the Anti-Monitor’s own armor, debuted in Infinite Crisis #5.
Kid Flash (Bart Allen), with the aid of Wally West, Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Max Mercury and Johnny Quick, trapped Prime in the Speed Force in Infinite Crisis #4.

Page 17: Panel One – those diplomats are from Winath, a world in which twin births are the norm. Hence, the twin representatives.
Panel Two – “And you should know the damage being a singular causes, Lightning Lad.” Lightning Lad’s brother, Lightning Lord, was a single (he had no twin), and he grew up a reject from society.
Panel Three – These look like the Earth diplomats.
Panel Six – The green, robotic-looking gentlemen are the representatives from Colu.
Panel Seven – Interlac (computer terminal): COLU

Clark trapped Mon-El in the Phantom Zone to save his life. One-thousand years later, Mon-El was released from the Zone, and Brainiac 5 created an anti-lead serum for Mon-El so that he could survive on Earth.

Page 22: I have no idea who Aad’m and Sonia are, and if they are important in any way, shape or form.
Karate Kid (II), real name Myg of Lythyl. First appeared in Legion of Super-Heroes (third series) #13. In published DCU continuity, Myg never met Val Armorr, the original Karate Kid, and only came to Earth after Timber Wolf went to Lythyl as part of the terms of Armorr’s will. Myg later went on to join the second version of the Legion of Substitute Heroes. However, in this “new” continuity, Val went missing in time after the events of “The Lightning Saga,” and it seems that Myg joined with the Legion at that time.
“The bile between Chameleon Girl and Shrinking Violet alone was -” The friction between these two women has nothing to do with race. At one point, Salu Digby (Shrinking Violet) was kidnapped by radicals from her native planet of Imsk and was replaced by Yera (Chameleon Girl), a Durlan actress. Shrinking Violet was eventually freed, but she still harbors resentment.

Panel Eleven: H’hrnath, general manager of Nullport, the Legion’s source for new cruisers and spacecraft. First appeared in Legion of Super-Heroes (second series) #285.
Panel Twelve: The guy with the eye sticking out of the center of his head looks like Warden Tsaquin, warden of Takron-Galtos. However, the prison planet was destroyed by a wave of anti-matter in Crisis on Infinite Earths, and was replaced by the Labyrinth. Because of the deviation in continuity at this time, Takron-Galtos was never destroyed. This representative may or may not be Tsaquin, and might just be of the same race. It seems like they are from a planet called Kaffar. The other guy is a Durlan.
Mordru and Universo are two classic Legion foes; Mordru is a millennia-old sorcerer, and Universo is a hypnotist.
Page 23: R.J. Brande, full name Rene Jacques Brande. First appeared in Adventure Comics #350. Financier and co-founder of the Legion of Super-Heroes.

Page 27: Panels 4-6 depict the Legion founders in their original costumes.
Page 28: Leland McCauley III of Earth. First appeared in Adventure Comics #374. He wanted revenge on R.J. Brande after he became convinced that Brande caused his fortunes to plummet.
Page 29: Uh, yeah. Brande’s a Durlan. Actually, he’s the father of Reep Daggle, a.k.a. Chameleon Boy. This was revealed in Secrets of the Legion of Super-Heroes #3.
Damn Durlans, taking jobs from real Earthlings….
Page 30: Whoops. Poor Leland. It doesn’t pay to make deals with the Time Trapper, now does it?
