A Legionnaire Falls

On the planet Orando, the Legion of Super-Villains has made its new headquarters, easily taking over the medieval world and downing the cruiser of Queen Projectra and Karate Kid upon their return to their homeworld.  The so far silent leader of the Legion of Super-Villain twists the Legion flight ring and says something rather cryptic.

“Then let me twist their alarm signal, as I once did as a Legionnaire—and let them come running to their doom.” – Unknown Leader of the LSV…

The Legion fresh from their detour keeping Mordru under wraps leaves the Sorcerer’s World of Xerox and follows the signal only to land in the midst of one of Zymyr’s teleportation warps, only Dawnstar is swift enough to evade the trap as it sucks Ultra Boy, Mon-El, Wildfire, and the Legion Cruiser containing Shadow Lass, Phantom Girl, Timber Wolf, Chameleon Boy, and White Witch.

On Earth, Element Lad rallies the remaining Legionnaires on Earth to the rescue leaving Cosmic Boy on duty on Earth and Invisible Kid II who is mysteriously missing at this point along with his back from the dead counterpart Lyle Norg.

In the dungeons of the Castle Royal of Orando, Light Lass awakens to see Karate Kid and Projectra imprisoned in machines. More >

Top Row:  Supergirl, Invisible Kid II, Colossal Boy, Dawnstar, and Superboy Second Row:  Sun Boy, White Witch, Karate Kid, Projectra, and Timber Wolf Third Row:  Phantom Girl, Shrinking Violet, Blok, Star Boy, Dream Girl, and Brainiac Five Fourth Row:  Ultra Boy, Wildfire, Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad, Mon-El, Element Lad, and Chameleon Boy Fifth Row:  Proty, Shadow Lass, Duo Damsel, and Bouncing Boy

In the Legion of Super-Heroes #300, the Legion is assembling for its re-dedication ceremony.  This ceremony takes place every so often, but this is the most elaborate one we have seen on panel.  As additional Legionnaires arrive to the headquarters we see Element Lad, Ultra Boy, and Phantom Girl welcoming Superboy and then his cousin Supergirl to the party.  Supergirl inquires where Brainiac Five is, and Invisible Kid II (along with the dyed energies of a pouting Wildfire) show up and Jacques asks the same question and that leads us into the meat of the story.

Brainiac Five, Circadius Senius, and Rond Vidar are working on a patient at the Time Institute, it is an odd thing to have a medical patient here, but odd is what Brainiac Five specializes in.  Apparently this patient has accessed some ability to transfer his More >

Here we are finally actually talking about some Legion stories!

 

We’re going to start with Legion of Super-Heroes #284 which is two issues prior to when I started collecting, but I might as well include it as this is the beginning of what Legion fans call “The Levitz Era.” Paul Levitz that is. Paul was a lifelong writer, comic guy who started working at DC Comics back when he was in high school. Paul had written the Legion prior to this run, but this is the definitive run of his writing in my opinion, and the definitive run of the Legion of Super-Heroes, so lets hop on in!

In issue #284,we witness Bouncing Boy staring at the bronzed statues of dead Legionnaires Chemical King, Ferro Lad, and Invisible Kid stating to himself that he’s getting himself out of the game. His wife, Duo Damsel shows up to get him and they bounce off to a Legion meeting where they announce their resignations.

The Legion is called to stop some organ-leggers, a 30th century take on the Tijuana kidney theft urban tales of today, but with more of a pirate bent. Timber Wolf and Light Lass are already at the hospital called Medicus One where the More >

And you are like, “when are we done with these Legionnaires?” Well, soon. I promise. I hope to finish them off by the weekend. So, just hang on and we’ll get to some meatier stuff soon, at which point you’ll be saying “who is that?” and I’ll go. remember those Legion articles I did…?

The tragic threesome…

 

So these symbols belong to Ferro Lad represented by the elemental abbreviation for Iron “Fe”, Karate Kid (no. not Ralph Macchio) by the Yin/Yang symbol, and Princess Projectra who is represented by the crown.

Karate Kid, Princess Projectra, Ferro Lad & Nemesis Kid inducted into the Legion

 

Ferro Lad is Andrew Nolan of Earth, a mutant born with the ability to turn his skin into iron yet it moves like skin, making him fairly impervious to damage and a great attacker as no one likes being hit with a cast iron skillet right? Andrew wears a mask to hide his hideously deformed face from all, as his power comes with a curse.

 

Karate Kid is Val Armorr of Earth, the son of an Earth woman and a criminal from the planet Lythyl. Karate Kid is actually half asian, so points for being the first Asian character in DC Comics More >
