The Legion

"The governments were overwhelmed by violence. By chaos. Mon-El organized us and we banded together to help Earth's leaders keep the peace, at home and in the stars."

- Imra Ardeen

The Legion is a group of superheroes from the 31st century, founded and led by the Daxamite Mon-El.

History
The governments in the 31st century were overwhelmed by conflict. Mon-El, stranded in this time period, wanted to make a difference, so he formed the Legion. Using the superheroism of the 21st century's Supergirl as an ideal to follow, the Legion's goals were to keep the peace on Earth and in the stars. Imra Ardeen eventually joined, being inspired by the story and legend of Supergirl.

While on a mission, the Legion hit a wormhole, and were transported 12,000 years into the past. They decided to put themselves into cryo-sleep until the 31st century, but were awakened early when a torpedo hit their ship in 2017.
