Legion Of Super-Villains
The Legion of Super-Villains is a team of supervillains who appear in comic books published by DC Comics. They are adversaries of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the future. They first appeared as adults in ''Superman'' #147 (Aug 1961) and as teens in ''Adventure Comics'' #372 (Sept 1968). The team originated at a time when ''Superman'' editor Mort Weisinger was consciously adding new elements to the "Superman mythos" over a period of years, building an extended cast of supporting characters who could provide new story opportunities. The creation of the Legion of Super-Heroes was part of that plan, and in the Legion's fourth appearance ("The Army of Living Kryptonite Men" in ''Superboy'' #86, Jan 1961), there's a suggestion that Lex Luthor would someday lead a group of super-villains. Seven months later, in ''Superman'' #147's story "The Legion of Super-Villains", that prediction came true. Fictional team history Pre-''Crisis'', the Legion first appears when Lex Luthor creates a rad ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gates (comics)
Ti'julk Mr'asz, codename Gates, is a fictional character, a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the DC Universe. Like all natives of the planet Vyrga, Gates has a largely insectoid body. He is also noted for his strong political views, tending towards socialism. Fictional character biography Gates was the third non-biped member (after Quislet and Tellus) in the history of the Legion (the first after the 1994 reboot). He was also unique amongst Legionnaires in being their only ''unwilling'' member, having been drafted by his planetary government to represent them in the Legion (which he perceived as being militaristic and inherently fascist). Apparently Gates is one of the very few free-thinkers on his homeworld; the rest are unindividualistic conformists. Gates has played key roles in many missions; his tactics enabled Star Boy to defeat Validus of the Fatal Five and he was able to resist the Emerald Eye's possession. Gates was part of the Legion team that was stranded in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Legion Of Substitute Heroes
Legion of Substitute Heroes is a group of fictional characters in the future of the DC Comics universe.

They first appeared in ''Adventure Comics'' #306 (March 1963) and were created by Edmond Hamilton and John Forte. The group were depicted as reasonably effective superheroes until Keith Giffen, during his tenure as ''Legion'' writer, began depicting the team as something of a joke. The Subs regain some respect when founding member Polar Boy joins the main Legion, and a new Legion of Substitute Heroes is formed. Publication history The Legion of Substitute Heroes is founded by Polar Boy, Night Girl, Stone Boy, Fire Lad, and Chlorophyll Kid, five young heroes whose powers are not sufficient to earn them membership in the Legion of Super-Heroes — Stone Boy, for ex ...
