The Legion of Superheroes, for those of you that don’t know, is DC’s superhero team from 1000 years into the future. A simplistic view of the Legion might say it is comprised young adults with special abilities from different planets banding together to try to keep the future safe. Then again nothing with The Legion is ever simple so I won’t get into terms like pre-boot and post-boot (darn that Zero Hour storyline)…

Thursday – The Legion’s Other Squad

Welcome to the fourth day of Legion figures. The three previous days you saw teams that could move a planet, hide a planet, and power a planet… This team could occupy a planet. No more dawdling, on to the figures.

Brainiac 5 and Koko: A twelfth level intellect from the planet Colu, and probably the smartest person ever. Just ask him. Querl Dox is a descendant of Brainiacs, apparently evil skips generations or such in that line, because he’s a hero now but his mom was pretty evil. And what’s a lab man without his pet monkey? Brainiac 5 comes with Koko the monkey accessorie.

Catspaw: A very brief tenure in The Legion for this feral character. Probably shouldn’t even have an action figure, but it just goes to show you that toy companies do listen to the fans occasionally.

Dawnstar: An old time fan favorite who hasn’t been seen in years. Dawnstar has magical path finding, no wait, I mean tracking abilities and wings.

Dragonmage: Not a Legion member, but he has been seen hanging around enough to merit his own figure. He is what is name implies…A sorcerer.

Karate Kid: Val Armorr is a master of most combat disciplines known throughout the galaxy.

Kinetix: Zoe’s powers are fairly vague and always dynamic. Much like the character herself. She has a tail; she doesn’t have a tail. She likes to wear yellow and red, now she likes green. She’s a human, no she’s a robot, no she’s a superevolved entity with even vaguer powers. I don’t know. She just is. Apparently she’s a telekinetic with a little bit of transmutational powers added in. She’s also an action figure.

Matter Eater Lad: Here is the heroic version of the present day Legion Chef. Tenzil Kem from the planet Bismoll has the super power of being able to eat anything. No wife’s cooking jokes please.

Polar Boy: Brek Bannin from the planet Tharr never made it into the rebooted Legion. He had enough of a (future) history with the team to justify his likeness in an action figure.

Shikari: A new addition to the Legion ranks from the recently discovered Kwai universe. Shikari has path finding abilities, a warrior’s mentality, and a budding knowledge of Interlac (the standard language of the UP for all you non-legion types).

Shikari maskless: Shikari without her mask.

Sunboy: This is an older version of Dirk Morgna here, since the current version doesn’t really seem too Legion-ish. Not much to say, Sunboy has sun powers.
