Starting with the founding trio of Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, and Saturn Girl, all versions of the team include teenage superheroes from several planets and alien races.

Batch SW6/New Earth team

Introduced in Legion of Super-Heroes vol. 4, #24 (December 1991), "Batch SW6" included teenage versions of the original Legion (whose members had all reached adulthood), which appeared in the original continuity until Legion of Super-Heroes vol. 4, #61 (September 1994). Batch SW6's roster was equivalent to the original Legion's membership immediately following the team's first encounter with Universo,[note 3] with Valor and Laurel Gand replacing Superboy, Mon-El and Supergirl (and with all three of Triplicate Girl's bodies intact). The members of this team were shown to be temporal duplicates of the original Legionnaires created by the Time Trapper.[1] Additionally, five non-SW6 members joined: Computo (Danielle Foccart), Dragonmage, Catspaw, Kid Quantum, and Reep Daggle (Chameleon).

Post-Infinite Crisis Legion (1958–1989, 2007–2015)

Summarize
Perspective

This version of the Legion was first introduced in Adventure Comics #247 (April 1958) as the original version of the team, which appeared under various titles for 31 years until Legion of Super-Heroes vol. 3, #63 (August 1989).[2] The "Five Years Later" Legion (1989–1994, vol. 4) picks up the original Legion's story line with "The Lightning Saga" story arc in Justice League of America and Justice Society of America (June–August 2007). Its membership reflects the original, pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths Legion up to the events of Legion of Super-Heroes vol. 3, #63, and includes changes in Legion membership made in the Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes story arc, the Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds mini-series, and subsequent volumes of Legion of Super-Heroes.[2]

Notes

  1. Circe is not to be confused with the sorceress Circe, an enemy of Wonder Woman.
  2. Although initially believed to be a Khund, Flederweb's actual species and homeworld were never revealed.
  3. The Legion first battled Universo in Adventure Comics #349 (October 1966). In the following issue, Star Boy and Dream Girl rejoined the team under the aliases "Sir Prize" and "Miss Terious", but the two are not included in Batch SW6.
  4. Inferno's Legion membership status is debatable, as she was a Workforce member accidentally stranded in the 20th century with a group of Legionnaires in Legion of Super-Heroes vol. 4, #84–85 (September–October 1996). She leaves the group in Legion of Super-Heroes vol. 4, #96 (September 1997), and does not accompany them when they return to the 30th century four issues later.
