13 | '''Useful Notes on Legion Continuity:''' |
14 | |
15 | The ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' has been ongoing in one form or another since 1958, encompassing four completely distinct continuities and several more "branch" continuities. That being the case, there are many alternate versions and a lot of CharacterDevelopment involved, and what tropes apply to what characters varies from version to version. Here's a thumbnail reference for what refers to what part of continuity: |
16 | |
17 | ->'''Preboot'''--The original continuity, prior to the 1994 ''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime'' continuity reboot. These stories take place on Earth-1 (Pre-Crisis), Earth-0 (Post-Crisis continuity) or an Earth-2-ish continuity (Post-Flashpoint continuity). |
18 | --> '''[=5YL=]''' / '''V4''' / '''TMK'''--"Five Years Later", the fourth volume of the Preboot title, a DarkerAndEdgier continuation following (as the title suggests) a five-year TimeSkip. The [=5YL=] stories were mostly written by '''T'''om and '''M'''ary Bierbaum and drawn by '''K'''eith Giffen, usually abbreviated to "TMK". |
19 | ---> '''Softboot''' / '''Glorithverse'''--The state of Legion continuity after a CosmicRetcon unleashed during V4 to write the Pocket Universe Superboy out of continuity. Glorith was a time-controlling villainess who took advantage of the retcon. |
20 | ---> '''Batch [=SW6=]'''--One of the most significant ongoing storylines from [=5YL=], involving a group of time-paradox duplicates of the early Legion (who went on to star in the SpinOff ''[[SpinoffBabies Legionnaires]]'' until ''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime''). The term comes from the cryptic labels of the PeopleJars the duplicates were found in. [[note]]Well, that was the reason in-story. It actually came from half of a fan's postal code.[[/note]] |
21 | --> '''Retroboot''' / '''Deboot''' / '''Johnsboot'''--The version of the original continuity Legion that appeared starting in 2007's "The Lightning Saga", branching off from the Preboot continuity just before [=5YL=], except that Superboy didn't die.[[note]]Superboy had to die because changes to Superman's history post-Crisis erased Superboy from history. A "Pocket Universe" Superboy was introduced and killed to patch the plot holes. Superman's history was (partly) changed back, so this is no longer necessary.[[/note]] So named because it brought back the "classic" Legion and their costumes, de-rebooting them, and was started by Creator/GeoffJohns. |
22 | |
23 | -> '''Reboot''' / '''Postboot'''--The continuity following the 1994 ''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime'' reboot, up until it was rebooted again in 2004. These stories take place on Earth-247. |
24 | --> '''Archie Legion'''--The relatively lighter initial portion of the Reboot, based on the general tone and artist Philip Moy's art style reminding many of ''ComicBook/ArchieComics''. |
25 | --> '''[=DnA=]'''--The DarkerAndEdgier "Legion of the Damned" and "Legion Lost" stories by the team of '''D'''an Abnett a'''n'''d '''A'''ndy Lanning. |
26 | |
27 | ->'''Threeboot'''--The continuity following the 2004 reboot, re-envisioning the Legion as a rebellious youth movement in a stagnant society. These stories take place on Earth-Prime. |
28 | |
29 | ->'''[=L3W=]'''--''ComicBook/LegionOfThreeWorlds'', a ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'' limited series bringing together the Retroboot, Postboot, and Threeboot Legions. |
30 | |
31 | ->'''Rebirth''' / '''Bendisboot''' --The 32nd-century incarnation from the ComicBook/DCRebirth continuity, introduced in 2020 following an arc in ''ComicBook/SupermanBrianMichaelBendis''. |
32 | |
33 | Characters below are listed in the era in which they were introduced, not when they joined the Legion. For instance, Night Girl was introduced in the 1960s but didn't become a full member until 2007, while Kid Quantum was introduced in 1990 but {{Retcon}}ned into being a member during the Silver Age era. |
