2994

Lyle Norg (see 2988) has become an EarthGov agent,
hired by President Chu and working out of its “Black Hole” training facility, together with his childhood friend Jacques Foccart—until Jacques apparently dies from drinking Lyle’s invisibility serum.

Jenni Ognats’ speed powers manifest when she has to rescue her father from Dominator captivity.

[Early May] Teenagers Rokk Krinn (15, of Braal), Imra Ardeen (15, of Titan), and Garth Ranzz (14, of Winath) meet on a shuttle to Earth, and use their super-powers to save fellow passenger R.J. Brande from an assassination attempt engineered by his partner, Roderick Doyle.

[May 08] Inspired by the teens’ heroism and cooperation, Brande convinces them to join together as a team. He dubs them Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, and Live Wire… and they officially create the Legion of Super-Heroes.

[May 11] The Legion’s founders make their first public appearance in costume, rescue Metropolis’ Interplanetary Zoo from an attack by Grimbor, and save the U.P. conference from sabotage. Triad (Luornu Durgo, 16, of Cargg) and Apparition (Tinya Wazzo,15, of Bgztl), join the team as well.

[May 31] In response to a draft issued by President Chu, several new members join the Legion: Chameleon (Reep Daggle of Durla); Invisible Kid (Lyle Norg, 16, of Earth); Kid Quantum (James Cullen,16, of Xanthu); Leviathan (Gim Allon, 17, of Mars); and XS (Jenni Ognats, 14, of Aarok). Chu appoints Gim as leader—but on their first mission together, KQ is killed by the villainous Tangleweb, and Gim returns the reins of leadership to Rokk.

[June] The Legion engages in mission “F-203,” details of which remain classified.

Other unchronicled events occur, while the Legion’s Headquarters is under construction.

Brainiac 5 (Querl Dox, of Colu) joins in belated response to his draft notice. The new Legion HQ opens in central Metropolis, with Tenzil Kem (17, of Bismoll) as team chef.

The Legion defeats Mano, last survivor of Angtu, on competing industrialist Leland McCauley’s lunar base. President Chu informs Garth that his twin sister Spark (Ayla Ranzz, 14, of Winath) has been drafted to replace him on the team.

An irate Garth quits the Legion, and is recruited by Ultra Boy to join McCauley’s newly-formed competing team, the Workforce.

Both teams work together to resolve a crisis on the solar-based prison “Planet Hell.”

[Summer] More unchronicled events occur? …The short-lived Legion Academy may be established during this time.

[Autumn] Several new members are drafted into the Legion: Andromeda (Laurel Gand, 16, of Daxam), Kinetix (Zoe Saugin, 15, of Aleph), and Shrinking Violet (Salu Digby, 14, of Imsk).

Science Police officer Shvaughn Erin is assigned as official liaison to the Legion.

Under the secret guidance of Daxamite ambassador Roxxas, the paramilitary White Triangle destroys the planet Trom, killing its entire population, save one— the young Jan Arrah.

Lyle secretly forms the Legion’s Espionage Squad.

The White Triangle attacks Earth, and is defeated by the Legion. Tinya is apparently killed; Laurel is secretly imprisoned for her connection to the Triangle.

Dirk Morgna is afflicted with flame powers by Dr. Zaxton Regulus, who is defeated by the Legion. Brainy tests an experimental time platform.

[Spring] Garth tracks down his renegade brother Mekt, and loses an arm in the battle to capture him.

The Legion makes its first visit to the 20th century, enlisting Superboy’s aid to rescue the legendary Valor from the Stasis Zone. During the mission, XS becomes displaced in time (in 1998/Yr16). Superboy is made an honorary Legionnaire.

Chronos attacks the Legion from the 20th century (1998/Yr16), damaging the HQ. Lori Morning (age 10) is stranded in the 30th century, aged to adulthood. President Chu orders the Time Institute shut down.

Chuck Taine (16, of Earth) is hired to repair the HQ. Star Boy (Thom Kallor, 16, of Xanthu) and Gates (Ti’Julk Mr’Asz, 18, of Vyrga), both recruited earlier, finally join the team.

Brainwashed, Jan Arrah battles the Legion as (the villain formerly known as) Starfinger.

The Legion gathers, then battles, the Fatal Five in response to a hoax Sun-Eater attack. XS returns to the 30th century, after being detoured by the Time Trapper (see 2957, 100th C.). The team executes a sting that reveals President Chu was behind the hoax, foiling her conspiracy to foment a new Braal/Titan war. The U.P. Council appoints R.J. Brande as the new president of the U.P., and the Legion is granted autonomy to manage its own affairs.

[Summer] Element Lad (Jan Arrah of Trom) and Ultra Boy (Jo Nah, 17, of Rimbor) join the Legion; Valor (Lar Gand, 18, of Daxam) renames himself M’Onel, and joins on a detached-duty basis; Live Wire rejoins, and Andromeda officially resigns. The team drafts a new Legion Constitution.

Violet is elected leader (with possible influence from the Emerald Eye, unbeknownst to anyone at the time).

Leviathan dies defeating Dr. Regulus. A shocked Vi is possessed by the Emerald Eye; in the battle to defeat it, half of the team (Rokk, Imra, Ayla, Brainy, the returned Tinya, Jo, and Gates, plus Shvaughn and Workforce member Inferno) is displaced in time to the 20th century (see 1998/Yr16).

[Autumn] Garth becomes acting leader.

The Legion holds its first open membership call, and inducts Magno (Dyrk Magz of Braal), Sensor (Jeka Wynzorr, Princess of Orando), and Umbra (Tasmia Mallor of Talok VIII).

Lori Morning turns 11, and is reverted to that age by Rond Vidar so that he can use her chronal energy to find the missing members. On their first mission, the new recruits unknowingly free the entombed Mordru.

Lyle is elected to serve as the new leader. The team battles Mantis Morlo on Vyrga, instigator of a recent Proty attack on Legion HQ.

At year’s end, the Legion has 13 active members in the 30th century, plus seven stranded in the past, two dead, and one resigned.

2996

[Winter] During a failed attempt to rescue the lost members, Triad also becomes stuck in the past, while Lori acquires the H-Dial in the 25th century.

He is finally defeated by the LSH, with the help of the Amazers and others (including Atom’X and Blast-Off, who die), in a standoff on planet JS-1967; in the battle, Magno is de-powered, Mordru’s daughter Mysa reverts to her youth, and Violet is freed from the eye and acquires growth powers.

Monstress (Candi Pyponte-LeParc III of Xanthu), formerly of the Amazers, is voted into the Legion.

[Spring] The Khunds begin an anti-U.P. propaganda campaign, forming the rival Affiliated Planets.

Jo and Tinya are revealed to have married; Inferno remains in the past, while Ferro (Andrew Nolan, 17, of Earth) comes to the future and officially joins. Earth celebrates “Legion Day.” A Science Police space station is refitted as an auxiliary HQ and dedicated as Legion Outpost Allon, with the de-powered Dyrk Magz as Chief of Operations.

Brainy, Gates, Umbra and Zoe follow M’Onel and Laurel to investigate a mysterious Anomaly in space.

Spark regains her lightning powers (changed to mass powers by the Source during “Genesis”; see 1998/ Yr16).

The Legion encounters time-hopping Green Lantern Kyle Rayner (see 1998/Yr16). Kyle helps them track and apprehend a false, villainous Green Lantern Corps, and meets his descendant Cary Wren.

[Summer] Lyle steps aside, and Imra becomes acting leader.

Karate Kid (Val Armorr of Earth), formerly of the Workforce, and Kid Quantum II (Jazmin Cullen of Xanthu), formerly of the Amazers, join the Legion.

Retrieved from the Anomaly, Brainy has been upgraded to a more integrated personality, dubbed “5.1”; Zoe seems dazed, the others less affected.

The enigmatic Time Trapper summons the Legion to the end of time, revealing that he has manipulated history, created or preserved alternate Legions in various “pocket” timelines, and tested the current team to prepare them for future challenges.

The Legion uses the Anomaly to defeat the machinations of the Dark Circle, the real power behind the A.P., masterminded by Brainy’s mother Brainiac 4; the Composite Man dies assisting in the effort.

Lyle’s old colleague Jacques Foccart, thought dead, reveals his survival and invisibility powers when he rescues Lyle from an attack by Charma.

[Autumn] The team splits into two squads: Garth, Ayla, Brainy, Vi, Lyle, M’Onel, Val, Zoe, and Jeckie are stationed at the Outpost, joined by new member Thunder (Cece Beck of 90th-century Binderaan); meanwhile, Imra, Rokk, Lu, Jo & Tinya, Cham, Jan, Thom, Gates, Ferro, Monstress, KQ, Jenni, and Tasmia remain stationed on Earth.

Rokk takes on Xotar, the Weapons Master (see 1984/Yr2, 120th C.); Monstress turns orange; Thom is grounded due to erratic powers.

Lori reveals her H-Dial powers, foils a Khund plot, and is recruited into McCauley’s Workforce.

Brainy invents his “Anywhere Machine,” essentially an instantaneous VR surveillance device of phenomenal power, allowing the Legion to discover the “United Molecules” on planet Phlogista. Zoe is cured of her near-catatonic emotional state.

Brainy accidentally transforms the Oupost and its team into Bizarros!

One subteam defeats the Eternium-seeking tyrant Pernisius and recontructs the Rock of Eternity, while another confronts four elemental beings (including Dirk Morgna) attempting to resurrect Mordru.

At year’s end, the Legion has 24 active members, two dead, one resigned, and one de-powered adjunct.

2997

[Winter] Two former allies thought deceased, Atom’X and Blast-Off, are merged and resurrected as an energy being in a containment suit, “Drake Burroughs.”

While most of the team takes a well-earned vacation on Summerworld (and Star Boy serves out his suspension from duty), the villainous Empress bonds with the Emerald Eye and joins the Fatal Five, absconding with the Legion Outpost before being defeated.

2998

Star Boy and Umbra encounter a time-travelling Starman, and Thom learns that he is destined to travel to the past and succeed him as Starman “Danny Blaine” (see 2003).

Htl. M?: The long-hidden J’onn J’onzz reveals himself, fighting “a great evil” alongside the Legion of Super-Heroes.

2999

J’onn J’onzz helps several Legionnaires stop Leland McCauley from exploiting a planet occupied by a sentient plant species, the HssFssTss.

The Legion discovers a contingent of Titans, trapped in suspended animation since a confrontation with Brother Blood in the year 2000. Together they help overturn a plot by Universo (aka Sarmon Ardeen, Imra’s cousin) and Starfire’s sister Komand’r, and ultimately undo the events that trapped the Titans.

Earth falls to the parasitical alien Blight, a menace which propagates via the Stargate network, and in the space of a month is utterly ravaged. The on-planet Legionnaires are almost all possessed and corrupted by the Blight, until a small team returning from an away mission helps to turn the tide and free the planet.

3000

In the aftermath of the Blight crisis, a shocked U.P. council blames the Legion and suspends its charter. Star Boy and Dreamer take leave and return to Xanthu; Thunder resigns and returns home. But when lingering Blight sabotage of the Stargate network creates a runaway rift in spacetime, the team undertakes a final mission, closing the rift and saving the solar system. Nine Legionnaires (plus reservist Drake Burroughs) disappear into the rift, presumed dead.

R.J. Brande is impeached and departs for parts unknown. Leland McCauley is unanimously elected President of the U.P., and formally disbands the Legion, “with honors.” With the Stargate network defunct, the galaxy falls into widespread recession.

At its disbanding, the Legion has 13 active members, nine missing, and one on leave (plus two resigned, two dead, and one de-powered adjunct).

Eight of the lost Legionnaires—Imra, Garth, Cham, Brainy, Jo, Umbra, Monstress, and KQ—find themselves marooned in a remote galaxy. They befriend the female alien Shikari, a “path-finder” of the Kwai race; they also salvage Drake Burroughs’ energy form, and he joins the ranks as Wildfire. They endure months of struggle on the run from the genocidal alien Progeny, only to discover that the aliens’ feared “Progenitor” is their missing teammate Element Lad, who—having saved his colleagues from the rift only to be cast across billions of years of time by it himself, and ultimately succumbing to delusions of godhood—seeks to delete all life he didn’t personally create. In the effort to stop him Monstress and Live Wire die, even as the others narrowly escape back to Earth through a trans-dimensional gateway.

31st Century:
3001

• The McCauley “Footstep Drive” and telepathic “Titanet” are introduced to replace lost transport and communications capabilities, but remain cost-prohibitive for ordinary use. Dirk Magz and Kinetix both join the Science Police. Luornu takes over the remnants of Brande Industries, and M’onel, in reluctant cooperation with the McCauley administration, remains to protect Earth. The remaining former Legionnaires mostly disperse throughout space.

• Ayla returns to her homeworld of Winath on a Slo-Ship.

• Rokk, Vi, and Lyle, along with Chuck, go undercover as vigilantes on Braal.

• XS joins Thom and Nura on the remote Xanthu—just in time to fight alongside them, the Amazers, and the Khund military, helping defend the planet against attack from the ruthless machine intelligence known as Robotica. Only eight million people escape when Xanthu is overrun, and Robotica turns its attention to the Solar System.

• Val and Ferro find themselves stranded on the monastic world of Steeple.

• Tinya, pregnant with Jo’s child, runs to his homeworld of Rimbor, where she befriends the “wolfish” gang leader Brin Londo.

• Gates remains MIA, and Sensor incommunicado.

• And on the anniversary of the Rift crisis, the lost Legionnaires unexpectedly return.

In their first week back, the “lost” Legionnaires reunite with their teammates on a “Legion World” planetoid built by Brande, unmask President McCauley as the immortal villain Rá’s al Ghúl, and narrowly save Earth from Rá’s’ plan to trigger a catastrophic “extinction event” in order to accelerate evolution.

In their second week as a reassembled team, Winema Wazzo becomes president of the U.P. and Kid Quantum is elected leader of the officially re-formed Legion; the Footstep Drive ships (secretly powered by enslaved Vyrgan teleporters) are replaced with a network of interdimensional teleport “Threshholds” navigated by volunteer Kwai pathfinders from the “second” galaxy; and the Legion defends Earth against a surprise attack by Robotica, which turns out to be a project of the renegade Computo (see 1998/Yr16), and frees Robotica from Computo’s control, at which point the machine intelligences negotiate peace and are allowed to settle on Pluto.

Timber Wolf (Brin Londo, recruited by Brande) goes toe-to-toe with the Fatal Five on his second day as a Legionnaire… and prevails.

Universo uses the Titanet to amplify his powers and capture minds throughout the U.P., including almost every Legionnaire… until Projectra and Shikari retrieve Karate Kid and Ferro from Steeple and devise a rescue.

[May 08] On “Foundation Day,” the anniversary of the Legion’s founding, Legion World inducts a class of 20 new cadets, Rokk and Jazmin begin a relationship, Garth’s consciousness returns in a duplicate of Jan’s body… and Superboy mysteriously appears from the past (see 2004/Yr22) in a “dimension-storm.”

[Jun] The Legion discovers Apokoliptian “servants of darkness” working to revive a dormant Darkseid, and using boom tubes to siphon dark matter ten years into the past… in a futile attempt to create a gravitic bulwark against the chronal collapse that occurs when Darkseid summons his younger self from the distant past (see 8th Century). With literally only seconds to spare, the Legion foils the plan and saves the universe… but earns a new enemy.

The Legion defeats and discredits the genocidal “Credo” movement, rescuing R.J. Brande’s diplomatic mission to the Kwai galaxy.

Meta-terrorists shut off all technological power in Metropolis, and almost succeed in assassinating President Wazzo. The Legion only pulls the city through the crisis by recruiting the cooperation of affected civilians and villains alike.

[Oct] The Legion successfully sends Superboy to his home era to recruit help—the Teen Titans—against a multi-dimensional attack by the “Fatal Five Hundred.” Brainy successfully sends the duplicates back to their home realities, but in the process the Legionnaires themselves are severed from the space-time continuum and pulled into an unknowable vortex. Only Shikari escapes, as the timeline re-forms around her. (See Htl. L3, 3003.)

This marks the final appearance (to date) of this version of the Legion. At its disappearance, the Legion had 27 active members, counting Superboy. Questions regarding present-day characters linked to this “lost” Hypertimeline—e.g., Impulse, Lar Gand, Thom Kallor [below]—have yet to be resolved.

Shikari rediscovers her teammates, back in action on the temporally fragmented “Earth-247.”

c. 3009

Thom Kallor travels to the past (see 2004) to serve as Starman Danny Blaine.
