Legions of 233 Worlds (and counting)

EARTH (disambiguation): There are numerous timelines, hypertimelines, possible futures, universes, multiverses, metaverses, megaverses, and omniverses, several of which either share a designation or have changed designations depending on which universe is being discussed during which major event. This is a list of the various Earths where a Legion, a Legionnaire, or a related character either exists or has visited, using the most current version of the designator; however, it does not include alternate Earth versions of Superman/Superboy or Supergirl. Several versions of Earth have no formal designation and I have given them an unofficial designation number or letter here (with an asterisk).

This was first established when the Time Trapper revealed that when the Legion of Earth-1 visited Superboy, they were actually going to the Pocket Universe (later known as Earth-23). It was again codified in Legion of 3 Worlds #3 (page 23) by Retroboot Brainiac 5 that “when time traveling, one can shift into the multiverse”, explaining to his Threeboot counterpart who asked about Supergirl that “you interacted with our Earth’s history, like Earth-247’s Legion did on many occasions,” referring to things like the Legion visiting Superboy in Hawaii and the 30th century team getting stranded in the 20th century.

So with a couple of exceptions, there’s no guarantee that any 30th or 31st century is the actual future of any given 20th or 21st century.

Furthermore, the events of Convergence revealed that ALL previously-thought Imaginary stories, dreams, and Elseworlds were in fact merely unique alternate Earths. So EVERY appearance of ANY Legion or Legionnaire is now canon in one timeline or another. And that’s what this listing will attempt to include. Note that this is not “THE” definitive list, only the most complete one to date. I’m sure there are lot of alternate Earths out there that I do not have on my list, if you find any that I don’t have, please send them in (and I’ll cover them in a future episode) and I’ll update my list which will be on my blog, adventure247.blogspot.com.

The decimal number for some Earths is just to distinguish different versions of the same number in the order that they were encountered, and has no other meaning.

Honorary tip of the hat to the late Don Sakers, for his Readers Advice blog and his list of Alternate Legions.

I came up with:
104 Green = Legion/Legionnaire or related character exist on this Earth
11 Yellow = existence of Bart Allen implies existence of Don Allen
105 Blue = ally, enemy, or other related character exists on this Earth (not counting Impluse)
13 White = just visiting

	Current Name	aka
The main setting for the Legion from 1985-1989, which was the merged single Earth that came out of Crisis on Infinite Earths. In the 20th century, this Earth's Superman was never Superboy and there never was a Supergirl. In the 30th century, Superboy came from the Pocket Universe (EARTH-23). This Earth survived up through the Magic Wars.	0.1	POST-CRISIS
The main setting for the 5YL version of the Legion between the Magic Wars and the Mordruverse. (1989)	0.2	5YL
The main setting for the 5YL version of the Legion (1989-1994). When Time Trapper was killed, the universe reverted into the MORDRUVERSE (EARTH-M5*), a 30th century which was ruled by Mordru. Glorith remembered the former universe, and reintroduced several factors to the timeline that would lead to the creation of the Legion, but Glorith instead used Valor as inspiration source. The old 30th century timeline was restored, but with some changes. Supergirl was replaced by Andromeda, and Superboy and Mon-El were replaced by Valor. In the 20th century, Kon-El became Superboy. This universe was destroyed at the end of Zero Hour.	0.3	5YL/ GLORITHVERSE
The main setting for the 20th-21st century between Zero Hour and an anomaly caused by the Persuader s Atomic Axe (1994-2004). When the Reboot Legion from EARTH-247 came back in time to visit Superboy (Kon-El), it was to this Earth. However, the newly-reborn Supergirl from this Earth is the one who was flung to EARTH-PRIME.1 currently known as EARTH-33.2 where she joined the Threeboot team for a while. On this Earth, Superman never had a career as Superboy.	0.4	REBOOT
The main setting for the 21st century between Infinite Crisis and Flashpoint. On this Earth, Superman had a career as Superboy. (2007-2011)	0.5	RETROBOOT
The primary universe from Flashpoint to Convergence (2011-2015). This Legion had a slightly different and more complicated origin story, and several Legionnaires were killed at the end of this series. (LSH v7) The Legion from five years in their future once came back to the 21st century to help Superman (ACT v2 #5-6). Saturn Woman was born into a telepathic social network on the rebel moon Titan where she can understand all languages. On this Earth, Superman had a career as Superboy, and the Legionnaires recruited him as a boy.	0.6	PRIME EARTH, NEW 52
The primary universe from Convergence to Doomsday Clock (2015-2019). On this Earth, Superman had a career as Superboy.	0.7	NEW EARTH
The primary 21st century universe post Doomsday Clock, a merging of PRIME EARTH (EARTH-0.6 and NEW EARTH (EARTH-0.7), which is the current DC Universe. This Earth is where Rose Forrest found herself immortal and lived to the 31st century, and where Jon "Superboy" Kent traveled through time to join the Legion in the 31st century. On this Earth, Superman had a career as Superboy. Because Rose Forrest lived 1000 years and did not time travel, the 31st century that she lives in is the future of the present DCU.	0.8	REBIRTH
The 31st century in which Rebirth does not affect the future, continuation of Earth-0.7. On this Earth, Superman had a career as Superboy.	0.9	RETROBOOT
The main setting for the Legion from 1958-1985, from their first appearance in ADV 247 up through Crisis on Infinite Earths. On this Earth, Superman had a career as Superboy.	1.1	PRE-CRISIS
The main setting for the pre-Crisis Arrowverse not including the "Supergirl" TV series. XS appeared in the "Flash" TV series, and Dominators appeared during the Invasion crossover. A 20th century Floyd Belkin was an early victim of Cicada.	1.2	ARROWVERSE
In the animated Tomorrowverse series of movies, Kryptonian Kara Zor-El arrived on Earth years after her cousin Kal-El. She eventually became the superheroine Supergirl, but was having difficulty adapting to Earth, so Kal sent her to the 31st Century, where she could better adapt and become a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.	1.3	TOMORROWVERSE
Post-Flashpoint Arrowverse in which Flashpoint does not happen. XS appears. EARTH-1A's history was identical to the pre-Flashpoint history of EARTH-1.2, but the timelines of each universe diverged with the Barry Allen of EARTH-1A not creating Flashpoint. Also known as the "Barryverse" after writer Barry Lyga, this timeline appears in the Flash novels written by him and the Supergirl novels written by Jo Whittemore (those took place on Earth-38A).	1A	BARRYVERSE
Halk Kar of THORON (the EARTH-2 counterpart of Mon-El) visited EARTH-2 and Superman thought he was his brother (SMAN v1 80). During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, several Legionnaires were helping while on EARTH-2, and at one point the dimensional barriers between Earths faded such that the team on EARTH-2 could see the Legion HQ on EARTH-1. Supergirl noted that there is no Legion in the 30th century of EARTH-2 (COIE 5). However, in the 20th century, Lana Lang became an alternate Insect Queen (Superman Family 213).	2
Originally the home of the Charlton Heroes. During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Blok was on a team that traveled to EARTH-4 to recruit the heroes of that world (COIE 6). Some members of the LSV helped in the villains attack on the planet (COIE 8, 9). During Convergence, the Reboot Legion met the heroes of Earth-4.	4

Home of the DC Animated Universe (DCAU). The Legion met Superman in the 20th century (STAS: "New Kids in Town"), and after Green Arrow, Green Lantern, and Supergirl traveled to the 30th century and met the Legion, Supergirl decided to stay (JLU: "Far From Home"). In "Justice League Adventures" #38, the team travels to the 30th century to track down Kilg%re. In the "Justice League vs Fatal Five" movie, Star Boy appears as a prominent member while Saturn Girl and Brainiac 5 make minor appearances. On this Earth, Superman never had a career as Superboy.	12.2	DCAU

An Earth frozen by the Time Trapper in the 19th century technologically and culturally. The world pushed forward despite these limitations - still inventing means of air travel, and even a telegraph Internet - and is protected by the frontier champions known as the Justice Riders. First appeared in the Multiversity Guidebook.	18
A world in which the next generation of heroes and villains fight it out in the world of Kingdom Come. The adult Thom "Starman" Kallor was originally brought to EARTH-22 on his way to NEW EARTH (EARTH-0.7) in order to prepare for the resurrection of Superboy (as seen in KC 1, Lightning Saga). On this Earth, Superman never had a career as Superboy, and Kon-El and Supergirl/Matrix departed the present to go live in the 30th century with the Legion. This is the only world in which Supergirl/Matrix joined the team.	22.1	96 (Hypertime)
The Time Trapper took a moment in time of the EARTH-1.1 universe and created a Pocket Universe that had only a Krypton and an Earth. When the Legionnaires traveled through time, or when Superboy traveled to the future, it was across the multiverse from this POCKET EARTH to the Earth of the Legion. The Pocket Universe s Superboy died fighting the Time Trapper and was buried on Shanghalla in the 30th century. Years later, an artificial life form known as Matrix later appeared to Superman as Supergirl, seeking his help in saving POCKET EARTH from Kryptonian villains (SMANv2 21). In the aftermath of Superboy s death, the Time Trapper lost interest in this Pocket Universe. After a few years, Luthor tried to contact Superman but instead found the Phantom Zone, where three villains convinced Luthor to release them from the Phantom Zone, where they set about trying to subjugate Earth. The three Phantom Zone villains completely destroyed this Earth except for Smallville, which survived due to a protective force field set up by Luthor (ADV SUP 444), until the Phantom Zone villains breached it and killed everyone left on the planet. Superman executed the villains, leaving the ruins of a lifeless planet behind (SMANv2 22). Ten centuries later, this dead Earth was brought into the 5YL Earth s universe (EARTH-0.3) to serve as an anchor point for the Earth that had exploded due to the Dominators. It did not work. [Named for LSHv3 23, which was retroactively the first appearance of Pocket Universe Superboy.]	23	POCKET EARTH

Originally, EARTH-PRIME.1 was the "real world" Earth, where super-heroes existed only in comic books. It was later found to be the home planet of the hero originally known as Superboy during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, who later turned into the villain Superboy-Prime. In the 31st century, it s the home of a version of the Legion that began as a political movement by teenagers, informally known as "The Threeboot Legion". The EARTH-1.1 Legion met the EARTH-PRIME and EARTH-247 Legions in the first "Legions of Three Worlds".	33.2	PRIME.1,

On this one, his home town is called "Smallvile", with a duplicate version of Superboy. In the 30th century, the most wanted criminals include the team of former Legionnaires Brainiac 5, Element Lad, Chameleon Boy, Ultra Boy, and Invisible Kid (SBOY 117). [Identified in Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Compendium, which also established that the alternate universe that Superboy traveled to in Superboy #117 and the alternate universe Lois Lane traveled to in Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #43 were the same place, and that same universe also appeared at the end of the previously-thought-to-be-imaginary story in Superman #215.]	43

An alternate future of Earth in the 30th century, after the Great Disaster which wrecked the planet, gave animals the ability to walk and talk but devolved humans. This is the home timeline of Kamandi. The Green Lantern of EARTH-1.1 in the 30th century told Superman of a battle with the Time Trapper, who used the GL rings to wipe out possible futures except the one leading to the EARTH-AD timeline, so that the Legion s future would not exist. Superman s costume was stolen and he tracked it to Metropolis, 1000 years in the future (not realizing it was on a different Earth) (SMAN 295). Karate Kid was diverted to this alternate Earth where he met Kamandi and other inhabitants of the time (KK 15, KAM 58). After meeting Karate Kid, Kamandi was pulled into the Wondrous Western Wall in Australia, where the Vortex (a break in the reality curve of time and space) explained that this Earth is an alternate reality in which a Great Disaster occurred, while Karate Kid s future is an alternate reality in which it did not happen (CCC 2/KAM 60). During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Dawnstar joined Kamandi, Solovar, and EARTH-2 Superman in this timeline fighting Shadow Demons and protecting one of the Monitor s chronal tuning forks (COIE 2). {Named after SMAN 295}	51.1	295, AD

Following the Time Trapper s apparent death, all of his works were retroactively undone, including his plans which prevented the rise of Mordru and the formation of the Legion. Its primary difference from regular reality is that the Legion of Super-Heroes never existed, and the great wizard Mordru dominated the universe into a totalitarian regime with his powers left unchecked. Eventually, the Mordruverse was destroyed when Glorith usurped his powers and created the Glorithverse (EARTH-0.5) to replace it. (LSHv4 5)	M5*	MORDRUVERSE

Legion Worlds: coming eventually

Here's an excerpt from a project I've been working on since May 2015. I call it "Legion Worlds" (for now, at least). Or maybe it should be "Where's Where in the Legion of Super-Heroes"? I guess "Encyclopedia Galactica" is already taken.

This logo by Josh Beatman of Brainchild Studios, as seen on Todd Klein's blog of Legion logo studies here.

Back in 2007, Geoff Johns (who apparently read my blog at the time) emailed me to ask if I could help with a project he was working on, which later turned out to be Legion of 3 Worlds. He asked "Do you know where I can get a list of the members of the United Planets from the original series - up to Crisis?" I was able to give him the list of UP worlds in a list that combined the "World Book" and the "Atlas of the DC Universe" from the Mayfair role playing game, "Who's Who in the LSH", and Mark Waid's Legion index (later published as "The Official Index to the LSH" from ICG). I came up with a list of 158 named worlds. If he used anything from my list, I don't know for certain.

But that exchange got me thinking, "I should do some more research to find out if such a list exists". Never found anything that had been created as part of Interlac of the Legion Outpost. But I eventually found a list generated by "Portfolio Boy" on the Legion Worlds message board in 2014, and it was just what I was looking for - but it only went up to Adventure Comics #349.

So beginning in 2015, I went back and looked up every Legion story starting with Adventure Comics #247, and made notes on every dimension, galaxy, solar system, star, planet, country, city, and building that I could find, including whatever history was given, notable inhabitants or animals, whose homeworld it is, and anything else the Encyclopedia Galactica said about it. I'm up through LSH v3 #45 now, covering up to early 1988 ("only" 30 years of history!). I intend this first volume to cover the Pre-Crisis, Post-Crisis, Five Years Later, Retroboot, and New 52; the Reboot, Threeboot, and Rebirth versions will come later (and will be far shorter). This should be the definitive list of Legion-related worlds (plus some 20th century places they visited).

Once I'm done (eventually), I will release it with a Creative Commons license.

This is just the list of "A" places (1958-1988). Who remembers all of these? I have 93 pages of notes so far, covering A-Z plus numbers and unnamed places.

The New Golden Age (a JSA/Stargirl yada yada)

This is number 10 in a continuing series of Great Yada Yadas, where the motto is “We read them so you don’t have to”. Listen to it at Legion of Substitute Podcasters episode 844.

• 1 & 2: Karate Kid (broken down into 4 sections: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4) in 2017 (18 issues), episodes 463 & 464
• 3 & 4: Crisis on Infinite Earths (Arrowverse) (part 1, part 2) in 2019 (5 TV episodes plus 2 comics), episodes 583 & 588
• 5: Timber Wolf (1 part) in 2020 (5 issues), episode 624
• 6 & 7: Eclipso (part 1, part 2) in 2021 (20 double-size issues), episodes 638 & 651
• 8 & 9: Valor (part 1, part 2) in 2021 (11 issues) episodes 655 & 659
• 10: The New Golden Age (JSA/Stargirl and related) (1 part) in 2024 (all or parts of 49 issues), episode 844

I wrote this up for the Legion of Substitute Podcasters episode 844 on Dec 15, 2024, summarizing the Legion's involvement in Geoff Johns' final large project at DC, more or less known as The New Golden Age - which is actually the title of third entry in this large series of books. I figured that since I did the work I may as well post it here.

When the book "The New Golden Age" came out in 2022, it introduced a new set of characters who had been "erased" from the timeline, ostensibly from the 1940s-50s. Thirteen new characters were introduced as "lost children", including one called "The Golden Age Legionnaire". His Who's Who style entry was completely redacted, as was the figure itself, but in the background we could see a Time Bubble and a Legion flight ring. Something was coming, but we didn't know who it was or when he'd show up (or how). He eventually showed up in the second story arc in the 2022-24 "Justice Society of America vol 4" series. In trying to recap the series for the podcast, and in particular the Legion's involvement, I had to go back about 18 months to start at the beginning of the story of the Lost Children because they were heavily involved in the first story arc in the JSA series. And to fully understand what was going on there, I had to go all the way back to 1971 and 1982 for some context. So this Yada Yada covers all or parts of 49 issues over 53 years. The Legion's involvement is highlighted in green.

This entire multi-series story arc known as “The New Golden Age” contains the storyline of The Lost Children combined with the storyline of a future version of Huntress meeting the JSA, as Degaton and the kids dovetail into and out of the JSA story. Except for the three miniseries with Wes, Jay, and Alan, all the stories were written by Geoff Johns. The titles include:

• Stargirl Spring Break Special #1 (2021)
• Flashpoint Beyond #0-6 (2022)
• New Golden Age #1 (2022)
• JSA v4 #1-5 (2022-2023)
• Stargirl: The Lost Children #1-6 (2022-23)
• This came out concurrently with JSA #1-4 but it takes place between panels at the end of JSA #5, that's why I put it here
• JSA v4 #6-12 (2023-24)
• Wesley Dodds: The Sandman #1-6 (2023-24)
• Jay Garrick: The Flash #1-6 (2023-24)
• Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #1-6 (2023-24)

The main storyline was collected in three volumes, available on Amazon:

• Stargirl: The Lost Children (Oct 2023 TPB), collects Stargirl Spring Break Special #1 and Stargirl: The Lost Children #1-6
• Justice Society of America Vol. 1: The New Golden Age (Feb 2024 HC), collects The New Golden Age #1 and Justice Society of America #1-5
• Justice Society of America vol. 2: Long Live The JSA (Feb 2025 HC), collects Justice Society of America #6-12
• Flashpoint Beyond, Wesley Dodds, Jay Garrick, and Alan Scott were all collected separately.

Bonus reading material

These issues are heavily referenced throughout the Stargirl miniseries, if you want to read up on some relevant Bronze Age stories (coincidentally both written by Len Wein):

Justice League of America #100-102 (1972)

• In this version of the annual JLA/JSA teamup, the teams learn that the individual members of the once-famous Seven Soldiers of Victory have been scattered throughout time fighting the Nebula Man, and once they are recovered, the team reveals that Wing, the unofficial 8th member, died using a secret weapon to defeat the Nebula Man.

DC Comics Presents #38 (1981)

• Whatever happened to the Crimson Avenger? After being diagnosed with an incurable deadly disease, he thought he’d die in obscurity, but seeing a small boat in trouble in the harbor, he reached it only to find it was full of experimental chemicals and was being hijacked. The battle started a fire on the boat and he piloted it away from shore, saving the city from the ensuing explosion and apparently dying.

The New Golden Age

Note 1: dates given below are on-sale dates, not cover dates.

Note 2: I found that reading the Stargirl/New Golden Age/JSA series consecutively, it holds up much better than it did waiting one or more months for a new issue. I recommend the trade paperbacks when they come out.

Stargirl Spring Break Special #1 (May 2021)

• Stargirl gets tangled up with the modern version of the Seven Soldiers of Victory in a case that ties back to the original group, and an associate member named Wing (sidekick of the original Crimson Avenger) who died long ago.

Flashpoint Beyond #0-6 (April to October 2022)

• Relevant to this storyline: Batman steals a snowglobe from the Time Masters’ HQ that houses the Flashpoint timeline in order to prevent his father from being erased from existence. The Time Masters had rescued 13 heroes when they were plucked out of the timeline. The Time Masters intended to return them to their homes, but they were attacked by the Childminder, who swooped in to steal them all.

New Golden Age #1 (Nov 2022)

DC's press release:

Spinning out of the Conclusion of Flashpoint Beyond, The New Golden Age Starts The Strangest Mystery to Ever Plague the DC Universe. Justice Society of America Return in An On-Going Series by Geoff Johns and Mikel Janín. Six-Issue Stargirl: The Lost Children On Sale November 15 by Geoff Johns and Todd Nauck. From the 1940s to the 3040s, great heroes across the DC timeline take on the great evils of their era. But in the aftermath of Flashpoint Beyond, those heroes and villains will have their lives turned upside down, from the past to the far future. The New Golden Age one-shot from Geoff Johns lands at comic book shops on November 8th and will unlock DC’s epic and secret-ridden history of heroism, launching a new group of titles with Justice Society of America and Stargirl: The Lost Children.

“I’m happy to be writing these two titles, each one of them focused on celebrating and expanding the history (and far future) of heroism in the DC Universe, exploring unseen heroes, villains and adventures alongside the ones we all know and love,” said Geoff Johns. “Our goal is to delve into the neglected corners of DC with this new group of titles, from the JSA to the Legion, and all those who operate between. It’s the story of where superheroes came from, where they’re going and why they’re always needed.”

DC’s future...and its past...will never be the same again. But how are Mime and Marionette connected to this? Why are Rip Hunter and the Time Masters the most unlikable heroes in the DC Universe? And who or what is...Nostalgia? Don’t miss the start of the strangest mystery to have ever plagued the DC Universe.

It’s clear in retrospect that there were other things he meant to do but didn’t, such as the Justice Society Dark; the use of Mime, Marionette, and Nostalgia from the “Doomsday Clock” story; and likely something Legion-related. But then for other behind-the-scenes reasons, Johns left DC for “Ghost Machine” at Image Comics after finishing up this story and leaving whatever he was going to do unfinished.

• Written by Geoff Johns with 10 credited artists, this story brings Helena Wayne, the daughter of Selina Kyle and Bruce Wayne from an alternate future, into the present where she meets the JSA. Ten years in the future we meet a young girl named Helena in Gotham City, who has a red-haired stalker. We find out later that it's Per Degaton.
• On 11/22/40, the JSA meets for the first time. Dr Fate peers into the future and sees lost children in costumes, many of whom resemble adult JSA members. He also has a vision of the far future…
• On 11/22/3022, three people find the old JSA brownstone hidden deep underground in Old New York. “The Legion of Super-Heroes may think they’re the only champions the 31st century needs, but the Justice Society is about to rise again.” There’s a future version of Green Lantern (based on Alan Scott), Atom (or Atom Smasher), and a humanoid female Dr Fate (whose costume resembles that of the Rebirth Dr Fate’s but she’s a humanoid female with just two arms). Fate says she sees no tomorrow, just before a red-haired man snaps her neck and says “your granddaughter said the same thing 57 years from now… it always starts with the death of Dr Fate.” There’s no indication yet which version of the 31st century this is.
• Today, Khalid (the latest Dr Fate) has a vision of his 31st century successor being killed, along with GL and Atom.
• The rest of the story involves Helena and the JSA, with a cameo of Rip Hunter mentioning “The Thirteen” lost in time.
• In the back are Who’s Who style pages for 13 characters: the Golden Age Aquaman, Betsy Ross & Molly Pitcher (sidekicks to Miss America), Cherry Bomb (sidekick to Human Bomb), Harlequin’s Son, John Henry Jr (great-uncle to John Henry Irons, aka Steel), The Boom (daughter of Jay Garrick), Ladybug (sidekick to The Red Bee), The Legionnaire (all info redacted other than it’s a silhouette of a male wearing a pre-5YL Legion flight ring, next to a Time Masters Time Sphere that is clearly not a Legion Time Bubble), the original Mr Miracle (mentor to Scott Free), Quiz Kid (sidekick to Mr Terrific), Salem the Witch Girl (sidekick to Dr Fate), and Red Lantern (foe of Alan Scott). All are said to have vanished in the 1940s-50s or been killed. All of these characters will appear in the JSA series to some extent except for Aquaman.

JSA v4 #1-5 (Nov 2022 to Aug 2023)

• 26 years from now, Helena Wayne aka Huntress (daughter of Batman and Catwoman) and Solomon Grundy are looking for Dr Fate, but he is dead. Ruby (who we find out later is the daughter of Red Lantern) thinks Salem might have done it but Huntress doesn’t agree. (Batman has been dead for 8 years, and she has joined a JSA that includes old foes like Solomon Grundy and Gentleman Ghost, and legacies like Power Girl, Icicle, and Mist, and new characters Harlequin’s Son and Ruby.) They find Fate’s body, but Degaton appears and using time-based powers he kills everyone but Huntress – and before he can, Catwoman appears (Huntress’ mother) to distract Degaton and toss Huntress a snow globe, telling her daughter to save the previous versions of the JSA. She catches the globe, and with a FWASH she has visions of the past and future and then finds herself in 1940 with Johnny Thunder and Thunderbolt, and tells the team she’s a member of the JSA from the future and was told that Dr Fate could help her save them. Thunderbolt says he’s never met anyone from the future, but Johnny Thunder reminds him “You’re not counting the Legionnaire”. In the future 26 years from now, Degaton tells Catwoman that the snow globe turned Helena into a blind spot, and then he kills her. The snow globe gives Huntress other flashes of history and then she appears in the present, with Deadman, Detective Chimp, and the current Dr Fate. In 1944, the Unknown Soldier and Sgt Rock find the castle where Degaton and the Nazis are attempting time travel. In the present, Helena tells Dr Fate about the snow globe, and Deadman replies that he and Fate should take it to Madame Xanadu while Huntress meets the current JSA. Dr Fate introduces Huntress to the JSA and tells them she’s from the future. Back at the JSA brownstone, they debate what to do next when Degaton appears, having found Helena because she no longer has the globe. At Madame Xanadu's parlor, she examines the snow globe, and mentions that Batman’s death in Huntress’s future must not be interfered with. Voices warn “Eclipso is within”, “only the Green Lantern can save the Red Lantern”, “the Sandman’s nightmare will wear his mask”, “Jay Garrick will find joy again”, and “do not trust the witch girl”, all of which will pay off by the end of the New Golden Age arc. Xanadu tells Deadman and Bobo that they must get the globe back to Helena to protect her. Back with the JSA, Degaton can see what everyone will do except for Helena, and Xanadu appears with the globe, telling the team that Degaton has made a deal with the last Lord of Chaos. In 1947, Degaton tells the younger version of himself to kill Helena first instead of Dr Fate even though the ritual designed by Salem dictated otherwise. It doesn't work, and he escapes. Meanwhile, don’t forget that Dr Mid-Nite and Wildcat were recently resurrected after having been killed by Eclipso. After talking to Power Girl, Huntress goes to Gotham to find Batman and warn him. Madame Xanadu and the JSA appear, holding the snow globe and telling everyone that he stole it from the Time Masters to save his father. Multiple Degatons appear, and Madame Xanadu has a flash of Degaton's past (a council of Degatons), his present (killing Batman and the Outsiders), and his future (killing the Retroboot Legion). Dr Fate grabs the snow globe and uses it to call up the JSA of the past, present, and future (Helena’s and the 31st century’s). Multiple Dr Fates imprison him in the snow globe, “in a shard of time”. Everyone returns to their own time except for Helena, who is now stuck because her future doesn’t exist anymore, and Batman tells Xanadu that Helena can’t stay here. A week later, the team meets at the JSA brownstone. They’re not sure what to do, but Stargirl brings in Judy “The Boom” Garrick and the android Hourman, and she says she bets Hourman can shed light on questions about time. NOTE: the Stargirl/Lost Children story takes place here, between issues 5 and 6 of the JSA series.

Stargirl: The Lost Children #1-6 (Nov 2022 to May 2023)

• In this 6-issue miniseries, Stargirl and her pal Red Arrow find evidence of a bunch of kid sidekicks who had vanished, and a map to a mysterious island. They go there, and find the “Lost Children” are being held by someone called The Childminder, and the island itself seems stuck in time where nobody ages. Stargirl and Red Arrow meet new characters Betsy Ross & Molly Pitcher (Miss America), Cherry Bomb (Human Bomb), Boom (Flash), Ladybug (Red Bee), Quiz Kid (Mr Terrific), and Salem (Dr Fate) of the Thirteen, plus others we’ve seen before like John Henry Jr (great-uncle to Steel), Sand, Air Wave, Pinky, Secret, Sparky, Tick-Tock, Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys plus Little Miss Red-Head, the Newsboy Legion, Corky Baxter (of the Time Masters), and Wing. Corky reveals that he and the Time Masters encountered Flash in the time stream when he created the Flashpoint timeline, but that caused their Time Sphere to malfunction and the kids were lost in time. He tells the Lost Children that Batman stole a weapon from their lab to recreate the Flashpoint timeline to save his father (the snow globe, as seen in Flashpoint Beyond and the Degaton arc of the JSA series), and that there are scavengers like Childminder who take advantage of the changes to history to steal people – when they were pulled out of time, they disappeared from history. Childminder is holding the kids for a buyer, represented by the android Hourman. Stargirl and Red Arrow free all the lost kids, and the bad guy turns out to be the adult version of Corky. Young Corky defeats his older self but then grabs Wing and tosses him into a time vortex as well so he can die stopping the Nebula Man like he’s supposed to so the world isn’t destroyed. Wing accepts his fate and goes to his destiny and all the Lost Children arrive in the present day.

JSA v4 #6-9 (Sept 2023 to March 2024): Young Justice Society

• Stargirl has brought the kids to the JSA to see if any of them want help finding families, getting training, or joining the team. Judy Garrick reunites with her father, and the spell is broken, allowing the world to remember her again. The JSA looks over the Lost Children to see who has a place to go. A few of them stay with the JSA, in particular Salem (who is offended that nobody remembers her) and Quiz Kid, while the rest move on. (The Jay Garrick spinoff miniseries occurs in here.) Huntress tells Power Girl her idea of re-creating the JSA of the near future, starting with Solomon Grundy, and they try to recruit Harlequin’s Son and Icicle. In Ivy Town, Dr Mid-Nite talks to Jean Loring about being possessed by Eclipso. Then three members of the Legion of Substitute Heroes appear: Rainbow Girl and Stone Boy who we are familiar with, and there’s a new guy in a Superman-looking suit with a lion’s head who is identified as Animal Lad, and they want Fate to come to the 31st century. (This is the first appearance of Animal Lad since Adventure Comics #331 in 1965.) Back at the JSA brownstone, Huntress tells the team about Ruby Sokov, daughter of Red Lantern, a man from Alan’s past (see the Alan Scott miniseries for much more), and GL says that she’s too dangerous even if she was/will be part of the team in Huntress’ future. Alan finds Ruby anyway and convinces her to come to NY to talk to Huntress, but as they leave, a figure outside talks into his Legion flight ring, saying “Alan Scott found her before I could. … Yes, it’s disappointing. … Of course, I’m sorry. But this time travel stuff isn’t easy, you know. … Grife. … Legionnaire out.” The figure is wearing a metal helmet, black jump suit, and yellow belt, dressed identically to Mask Man (the 30th century evil descendant of Mxyzptlk, whose only appearance was Adventure Comics #310), but with a cape. Is this the Golden Age Legionnaire, though dressed differently from his New Golden Age appearance (a mask instead of a full head of hair)? Also, who is Legionnaire talking to? Note by the way that the original solicit for this issue mentioned a meeting with the Justice Society Dark, which never happened, and the JSD story was dropped after only a single mention back in issue 2. Quiz Kid tells Mr Terrific that he has upgraded a T-sphere into a Q-sphere to help look for those in trouble like the original Mr Terrific did. While trying to capture Harlequin’s Son to recruit him he’s blasted by the Legionnaire, who says he’s still getting used to all these different powers. Power Girl notices his Legion flight ring, and he says “I am The Legionnaire. And I want to join the JSA.” They bring him back to the JSA HQ where Alan is still talking to Ruby. Mr Terrific says that he’s the Golden Age Legionnaire, “an obscure hero who assisted several others in the early days of the JSA. There are records of his adventures with Al Pratt, Ma Hunkel, and the All-Star Squadron. A few solo adventures, but he’s vanished. Until now.” He meets the team and says “You’re the first super-hero team of all time. The standard that all others after try to live up to. And many don’t. Including the Legion of Super-Heroes. They would never give me a chance. In truth, the JSA wouldn’t in most eras… but this one is different. This is the era of second chances, thanks to Helena Wayne.” She questions him, and he replies that she is an anomaly, and that she and the JSA are the only chance at changing his future. Stargirl asks who he is, and he takes off his mask and replies “I am Mordru. And just as you are changing the futures of other villains-to-be, we must change mine – before I not only destroy the 31st century, but this time as well.”

JSA v4 #10 (July 2024)

• The cover is an homage to Adventure Comics #300, with the Golden Age Legionnaire at the center. Starting at Subs HQ in the 31st Century, it’s the Retroboot versions of Fire Lad, Animal Lad, Rainbow Girl, Stone Boy, and Chlorophyll Kid. Animal Lad thinks the Legion will be mad at them for sending Brek and Lydda to get Dr Fate, she’s worried that the 21st century JSA will destroy the universe. Speaking of the JSA, it’s been over a month since the team agreed to recruit the members of Helena’s team: Solomon Grundy, Ruby, Icicle, and Harlequin’s Son are working with the team to find Gentleman Ghost, but the team is still suspicious of them all. Ghost has zombies on his side, but Icicle shatters his crystal ball, freeing Surtur. The team readies to fight him, but the Legionnaire swoops in. Helena monologues “His name is Mordru. Apparently, in a future far beyond even mine, he’s one of the most powerful and vile beings in the universe. A sorcerer obsessed with power. The JSA faced Mordru before, when he came to claim the helm of Dr Fate… who’s been missing for months now. But THIS Mordru is younger. He knows his future, so he came back in time to train alongside the OTHER villains… and find reformation before he needs it.” By way of helping, he blasts Hawkman in the back, killing him and taking his life force, giving it to Jim Craddock, who comes to life, causing Surtur and the zombies to disintegrate. Hawkman revives, but is not a fan of Mordru. Later, Mordru talks to Huntress and reminds her that he came here because she was giving those other villains a second chance, and she reminds him that the moment they stopped Degaton her future ceased to exist, so our futures can be changed by the choices we make today. He says he does not want to be a bad guy. Stargirl comes to get them after the vote, and it’s not unanimous – Hawkman voted no, as did Wildcat, who reminds Dr Mid-Nite that Mordru teamed up with Eclipso (in their old series) and that someone like Mordru will never change. Mr Terrific welcomes Mordru to the JSA, and then the entire Retroboot Legion appears (with Thom waving to his old teammates), telling the JSA that they did change the future by admitting Mordru, but not for the better. Rokk tells the JSA to hand over Mordru, and Garth adds that if they don’t, the Legion will have to take him. Next issue: the JSA vs the LSH!
• Legion notes:
• Black Witch is here; she absorbed the powers of her version of Mordru.
• In the beginning of this issue, Animal Lad said that they had sent Brek and Lydda to get Dr Fate, yet in issue #7 it was Rainbow Girl, Animal Lad, and Stone Boy – unless they brought him to the future and handed him off to Brek and Lydda? None of them are here now.
• Saturn Girl was last seen dying in Doomsday Clock.

JSA v4 #11 (Sept 2024) “Into the Future”

• Mordru has been an evil sorcerer for eons, and would be unstoppable by the 31st century, if not for the Legion. In the 21st century, he fought the JSA while attempting to steal Fate’s helmet. In the present, a 16-year old version came to Helena asking for her help. But the LSH showed up: they want to imprison him while the JSA stands by him, so the teams fight, but there's some familiarity as if the teams have met before. But it wasn’t Mordru who triggered the fight, it was Wildcat. Dr Fate appears with the Legion Subs. Suddenly Eclipso appears, he had been hiding inside her while he healed. Eclipso wants to join forces with Mordru, and gets out his black diamond and eclipses the JSA and LSH. Mordru tells Huntress to shoot the diamond with her crossbow, and on its way there Mordru enchants the bolt such that it breaks the diamond and hits Eclipso. He vanishes, and Wildcat remains, healed. Khalid and Salem talk and she tells him he deserves Fate’s helmet, she’s going off to her hometown of Limbo Town (also home of Klarion the Witch Boy) for unfinished business. Mordru is able to pick up Eclipso’s diamond with his magic, and the Legion want to know what’s next for Mordru. Rainbow Girl wants to bring him and Huntress into the 31st century, not to join the Subs but a new team that they’ve crossed paths with: the 31st century JSA (comprised of Huntress, Solomon Grundy, XS, Dr Fate, Green Lantern, Wildcat, and Atom).
• Never revealed who Legionnaire was talking to back in issue 8.

JSA v4 #12 (Oct 2024)

• It’s Courtney’s high school graduation day, and she’s the speaker. We get flashbacks to her history as Stargirl, from her origin to finding the Lost Children and working with the Legion against Eclipso. She thanks her family, and now her class has graduated. It’s Johns’ swan song for DC and a 25th anniversary celebration of Stargirl, dedicated to and inspired by his younger sister.

Early in the JSA run, some voices in Madame Xanadu’s shop gave the verbal equivalent of Rip Hunter’s chalkboard, with some hints that Geoff Johns likes to give. These were paid off by the end of the JSA series and the three solo limited series afterwards.

• “Eclipso is within”
• “Only the Green Lantern can save the Red Lantern”
• “The Sandman’s nightmare will wear his mask”
• “Jay Garrick will find joy again”
• “Do not trust the witch girl”

Questions never answered:

• Who was Mordru/Legionnaire talking to in issue 8?
• Why was Mordru dressed as Mask Man, besides as being a red herring to the readers?
• When did Kid Mordru come from when he landed in the 1940s? 
• What was the original plan for the Golden Age Legionnaire? His Who’s Who page in New Golden Age #1 was drawn by Todd Nauck, so maybe he was supposed to have been in the Stargirl series?
• And finally, did Johns have something planned for the Legion following this JSA series? It’s unclear and only rumored.

Then there were three miniseries spinning out of the JSA series, two set in the past and one in the present.

Wesley Dodds: The Sandman #1-6 (Oct 2023 to March 2024)

• Trade collection solicit: The Golden Age Sandman takes center stage in a thrilling noir mystery that finds his greatest discoveries falling into the wrong hands! It took years of testing and experimentation for Wesley to perfect his sleep gas, creating the perfect weapon for fighting crime without permanently harming criminals. But when the secret journal detailing all his failed, all-too-deadly formulas is stolen, the Sandman must hunt down the thief and root out those pulling their strings before the contents of his journal are released!
• Takes place at the beginning of Wes’ career as Sandman and prior to the JSA.

Jay Garrick: The Flash #1-6 (Oct 2023 to April 2024)

• Trade collection solicit: The Golden Age Flash’s time-tossed teenage daughter, Judy Garrick—a.k.a. the Boom—has been restored to the present, but a deadly threat has returned along with her!

• Takes place during the second half of the JSA series.

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #1-6 (Oct 2023 to May 2024)

• Trade collection solicit: The Green Lantern is the most powerful member of the JSA, beloved by all of America, but his personal life is a well-kept secret. Both his public and private life are threatened when he’s framed by a mysterious killer, and the victims are people from his past!

Alan Scott's past is the key to his future when the Red Lantern appears, ready to strike down the mighty Green Lantern! Can Alan Scott stop his enemy's monstrous plans?
• Takes place early in Alan’s career as Green Lantern with cuts to the present.
