The twist was that in all the previews Rip has told them they are destined to be legends, and the whole concept of the show is that they are legends. The reality is that he chose them because they all basically have no legacy or importance to history. He chose them because they were insignificant. It's very reminiscent of his relationship in the comics with Booster Gold.
