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 >

Legion Crash Course Part Eight

And it’s the last part of our intro to the Legion of Super-Heroes!!! So let’s jump in!!!

(I learned from Stan Lee, that one can never use too few exclamation points!)

 

So these symbols represent Wildfire, the star with wings; Tyroc, not really sure what his symbol means or how to describe it; Dawnstar, the twinkling star, and Blok, the building block.

 

Wildfire was originally introduced as ERG-1 whose real name is Drake Burroughs of Earth. ERG-1 has a multitude of powers when he shows up at Legion HQ for a tryout, unfortunately they all duplicate the other Legionnaire’s powers. He has one superpower that is unique, but he can’t demonstrate it for the Legionnaires, as a result, ERG-1 is rejected for membership. However he tags along on a mission to prove his worth and uses his “one shot” power to destroy a machine about to kill Colossal Boy. The Legionnaires only find his costume, completely empty. ERG-1 was apparently nothing but a containment suit filled with living energy.

A year passes. The energy that is Drake Burroughs makes its way to Earth a year later to find the suit that the Legion took. In his energy form Drake is apparently undetectable to the Legionnaires More >
