Sometimes they all have to have powers, and those powers have to be unique from one another… unless the creators forgot, or a creator has a particular idea for a non-powered hero that they really, really want to put on the team (looking at Karate Kid, here). Sometimes the Legionnaires are all teenagers… unless it’s a version where they aren’t. So, the first appearance of the Legion was in Adventure Comics #247, published in 1958, and that Legion adventure can be assumed to take place in 2958.īeyond that, there are a lot of general guidelines, but very few hard-and-fast rules that apply to every iteration of the Legion. (That’s not a joke, but it kinda sounds like one!)). The Legion of Super-Heroes (hereinafter “the Legion,” or “LOSH”) is a team of heroes that live in the distant future of the DC Universe.Īs a general rule of thumb, a given Legion adventure takes place exactly one thousand years after the publication date of the issue it occurs in (unless it’s the “Five Years Later” Legion, in which case it takes place one thousand and five years after pub date.
Then we’ll cap off with some recommendations for good starting points. Before we dive into actual Legion of Super-Heroes comics, I think it’d be helpful to do a big, bird’s eye view of what the Legion is, its publication history, and why it can be so intimidating to new readers.
