The Legion of Super-Heroes,[2][4] or simply the Legion, is a team of vigilantes active in the 31st century.
History[edit | hide | hide all]
Early History[edit | hide]
The Legion of Super-Heroes was formed at some point in the 31st century after being inspired by the super heroics of Supergirl.[3] They were led by Mon-El after he was sent to the 31st century during the Daxamite Invasion[3][5] and their ranks eventually grew to include at least five other members: Brainiac-5,[6] Chemical King, Lightning Lass,[7] Nura Nal[8] and Saturn Girl.[6] They also became the enemy of "Evil One" at some point in their history.[9]
After being sucked into a time disruption, Mon-El arrived in the 31st century and was given a cure to protect himself from the atmosphere of Earth which is covered by lead. Later, he founded the Legion and lead the team to protect the world from any kind of threats in order to make a difference to the conflicts caused by Blight in the 21st century.[10]
Seven years later, the Legion went into a mission and entered a wormhole to 12,000 years ago. Mon-El chose to cryo-freeze the Legionnaires including himself in the cruiser until they awake in the 31st century. However, the cruiser was hit by a torpedo in 2017 and awoke Mon-El. The Super Friends then went to investigate and worked with the Legion to prevent Blight's attack in the distant future.[10][3]
By mid-2018, the Legion and the Super Friends won the war against the Worldkillers and changed the timeline. However, the prevention of the attack caused Querl Dox's distant relative who wanted to eliminate all A.I.s, from being killed. Querl chose to remain behind in the present and Winn Schott took his place on the team.[9]
Toyman Incident[edit | hide]
Winn later travelled back to the 21st century to defeat his villainous doppelgänger after almost being arrested by the Time Police for the murder of Chester Dunholtz. After defeating this doppelgänger with the help of the Super Friends, Winn returned to the 31st century with the new codename of Toyman.[7]

AllStone Battle[edit | hide]
Mon-El and Toyman travelled back to 2021 using the Legion Cruiser after a speech by Supergirl went down in history for inspiring hope within the citizens of Earth. They assisted in the battle against Nyxlygsptlnz and Lex Luthor, who were attempting to unite the AllStone, by fighting the conjurations of Overgirl and a Kryptonian dragon as well as by standing alongside the Super Friends in the final confrontation. After the villains were sent to the Phantom Zone, the two Legionaries attended the funeral of William Dey before returning to the future. Three weeks later, Winn once again travelled back to 2021 to attend the wedding of Alex Danvers and Kelly Olsen.[1]
