History Characters / LegionOfSuperHeroesOtherVillains

* IdiotBall: The Superboy-Prime version makes a pretty stupid decision at the end of ''Legion of Three Worlds'', where he directly confronts his past self (not [[PsycopathicManchild known for being remotely calm and rational]]) and tries to tell him what to do. Superboy-Prime punches his future self in the face, and [[NeverTheSelvesShallMeet reality goes to lunch]].

* DidntSeeThatComing: If Grimbor had known that Charma's powers weren't just limited to making women hate her, he'd likely have prepared adequately to be unaffected. Unfortunately, the orphanage was all-female and he happened to first male she came into contact with after they developed.

* DrivenToVillainy: Grimbor didn't start off being a villain. He was just a locksmith who created restrains and other things for people who wanted them. One of the challenges brought him to an orphanage where he would met Charma, a mutant with the abilities to make males love her and females to hate her. The headmistress wanted Charma locked away, but he fell under her influence and freed her. When Charma and him attempted to extort money from the billionaire R.J. Brande, they came into conflict with the Legion of Super-Heroes.

* PsychopathicManchild: He rants about how he's one of the chosen and acts like the Legionnaires are a bunch of schoolyard bullies. He even ''calls'' them bullies at one point

* EvilRedhead: Unlike her skin, her hair stayed the same color.
* FemaleMisogynist: Her powers do this to women, with even the ones who have the most control over themselves being overly harsh with her.

* OrphanageOfFear: Her powers made it so.

* PsychicPowers: She forces men to love her and women to hate her, and can't turn it off. One version uses pheromones, though.

* [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Yellow Skinned Space Babe]]: She's a human, but her mutancy changed her skin color to a pale yellow. Not that the gentlemen care. I mean, [[MindControl they literally ''can't'' care]]. But they wouldn't.

* [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Yellow Skinned Space Babe]]: She's a human, but her mutancy changed her skin color to a pale yellow. Not that the gentlemen care. I mean, they literally ''can't'' care. But they wouldn't.

* [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Yellow Skinned Space Babe]]: She's a human, but her mutancy changed her skin color to a pale yellow.

* FreudianExcuse: Since her powers made females hate her, her time in a ladies' orphanage was a hellish experience once her powers developed. And once she reached the age of majority and they were required to let her leave, the headmistress planned to get Grimbor to imprison her there to be tortured indefinitely.

* {{Yandere}}: Her powers do this to men, and if Grimbor is any indication, long-term exposure may make it permanent.

Computo is a mechanical assistant created by Brainiac 5, who malfunctioned and became homicidal. Before his defeat, he managed to kill one of Triplicate Girl's multiple bodies. Danielle Foccart was briefly possessed by Computo, and later took the name as a member of the Legionnaires. In Reboot Legion continuity, C.O.M.P.U.T.O. is an entity who rules the nation of Robotica. The New 52 reboot introduces Brainiac as having been named C.O.M.P.U.T.O. on Colu.

It did not and instead the ring returned to Oa,

* FallenHero: Preboot Universo was a renegade Green Lantern when the Guardians of the Universe assigned him to Earth to stop the specific experiments that could reveal the origin of the universe. However, Vidar became tantalized by the possibilities that learning the origin of the universe itself would make him more powerful than the Guardians and sought to obtained it.

Leland McCauley III was a wealthy industrialist in the 30th Century who became business rivals with R.J. Brande. This made him an antagonist to the Legion of Super-Heroes. McCauley passed this legacy on to his son Leland McCauley IV who became an even greater enemy to the Legion. In Reboot Legion continuity, Leland McCauley funded a rival team to the Legion known as Workforce. [[spoiler: Eventually he was killed by Ra's al Ghul who assumed his identity]]. There has also been a Leland McCauley seen active in the 21st Century as a mentor to Azrael and a member of the Order of Purity.

But the cavern they're in can't endure the stress of the leaking energy. The end result is Mordru and his "devil's jury" are buried, the Legionnaires survive due to Mordru having trapped them in a powerful force field, and Mordru, who cannot die by any known means, but can't remain conscious without air, is sealed inside solid rock.]]
