Moving moments to more appropriate page (The Great Darkness Saga)


* Then there's how Karate Kid gained admittance to the Legion--by picking a fist fight with the insanely powerful [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] Superboy and lasting a few minutes. Or the time he tore apart solid titanium gates in order to break his fellow Legionnaires out of prison. Or hell, the fact that, when superpowers were briefly outlawed, Karate Kid was banned from using his martial arts skills, because they were so advanced as to qualify as a power.



* Lightning Lord attacks Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl, Garth trying to hold back as they're fighting in a med-center. When Lord calls Saturn Girl "a telepathic slut," Garth's eyes glow solid yellow energy. "Mekt...you just made me forget you're my brother." The next panel shows Lightning Lord being blasted through three walls.
* ''ComicBook/TheGreatDarknessSaga'':
** For weeks, the Legion have been trashed and attacked by a pack of creatures sent by a mysterious "master." This being uses his power to take control of the entire population of Daxaam and then switch their world to under a yellow sun, giving three billion beings the power of Superman. He then has them use their powers to destroy their own world and carve it into the image of their Master. As they fly out to rampage the galaxy, their master stands atop this new world and at long last, the reader sees who it is: '''DARKSEID.'''
** Both ComicBook/{{Superboy}} and ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} take on Darkseid during [[http://bronzeagebabies.blogspot.com.es/2011/02/legion-of-super-heroes-great-darkness.html the final battle]].

* In ''Legionnaires 3'', the Time Trapper orchestrates the kidnapping of Graym Ranzz to lure the Founders into a trap. It turns out Lightning Lad was the actual target, as the Trapper believes he can easily break Garth's mind to mold him into a double agent to get the Legion's secrets. Garth's put through various illusions to torture him, telling him he's a failure as a husband, a father, a brother, and a Legionnaire. The Trapper even forces him to watch his parents die in outer space and threatens to erase Graym from existence. Garth doesn't yield, stubbornly refusing to accept anything the Trapper throws at him until the clock runs out and the Trapper concedes defeat. The Trapper even admits [[UnderestimatingBadassery he underestimated Garth]] [[WorthyOpponent as an opponent]].

* When Dr. Gym'll declares that Saturn Girl [[StayInTheKitchen should retire as a Legionnaire now that she's a mother]], Lightning Lad immediately steps forward voicing his disgust at such backwards thinking before proudly declaring ''he'' will be the one to step back to look after Graym while his wife can remain on active duty. It works out perfectly for everyone, with Imra remaining one of the most important Legionnaires and Garth being perfectly happy and content as a HouseHusband.

* In an issue of the original continuity, a half-dozen other legionaries are convinced they've been poisoned and are dying. Karate Kid, the Legion's sole member without proper super powers, decides he wants to go out with a bang instead of a whimper and heads out to take on the entire Fatal Five, a group that has stood up to the entire Legion before, all by himself. He wins. Damnit!

* Just after the Great Darkness, the then-newest Legionnaire celebrated the “special occasion” of her first one-on-one humiliation of an opponent—a Khund who had just taken out Wildfire and Blok. “And please...I don’t like to be called ‘woman.’ My friends may call me Mysa...” (Cut to extreme close-up) “YOU can call me the White Witch.”

* Superboy puts his hand on Pulsar Stargrave's shoulder and Stargrave with one punch puts Superboy in orbit. Before Pulsar can complete his next sentence, "Now Legion..." Superboy is back, and he's mad. He b* &ch-slaps one of Pulsar's toadies...and promptly gets blasted with red-sun radiation. But it was a nice moment while it lasted.
* There was that one time [[ExtremeOmnivore Matter-Eater Lad]] saved the entire Legion, including Superboy, by ''eating his way out of an underground prison''. Walls, dirt, and all.
* Matter Eater Lad once saved the whole ''galaxy.'' Brainiac 5 had gone crazy and used the Miracle Machine to create Omega, an undefeatable embodiment of all the hatred in the universe. ME Lad stopped it by...eating the Miracle Machine.
