The Legion of Super-Heroes is a team comprised of teen or young adult volunteers from dozens of planets in the 31st Century. It's perhaps the only group of heroes that's undergone four history reboots. DC Comics events like Crisis on Infinite Earths and Zero Hour have reinvented the characters for newer readers across the decades.The incarnation pictured above is my favorite "past life" of the team. I did include the largely unused Legion Cadets and other old/new members like Blok, Dawnstar, Tellus and Quislet, who undoubtedly would've joined the team eventually had DC decided to keep the version intact. The team is a nice parallel to Marvel's X-Men (check out the class picture), whose goal is to achieve racial harmony on Earth. The two groups meeting would make an exciting crossover miniseries, a la JLA/Avengers.

I'm one of those weird ones that never got into the Legion. Nice pic though. :)
Hey, thanks, Marc.
It could be that I'm one of the weird ones who got into the Legion. :D
I like the fact that they're separate from the regular world of Batman, Superman, etc. (well, mostly separate... some familiar heroes turn up sometimes, like Superboy), and the characters are diverse and many.
