Legion of Super Heroes (2006) | comment |
Legion of Super Heroes is the Animated Adaptation of the Legion of Super-Heroes comic book series. Ran for two seasons, 2006–2008, abruptly ending with a hook for the third season that never came.When the series opens, the 31st-century Legion is hopelessly outclassed by the famed Fatal Five. They resolve to recruit the near-mythical Superman from the past, but for undisclosed reasons, Brainiac 5 brings them to Smallville, not Metropolis. There they invite 18-year-old Clark Kent to help them in The Future, promising that with Time Travel, he can return the minute he left.At Brainy's insistence, everyone studiously avoids telling Clark who he's supposed to become in the future. Regardless, Clark finds the Superman Museum, connects the dots, and takes the costume from the display case, and the name of Superman, for his own. Together they defeat the Five, and the adventures begin.The show had a very Silver Age tone to it, but the most noticeable and controversial change from the source material was turning team genius Brainiac 5 from a Human Alien into an android. Word of God is that this was supposed to tie him more closely to his ancestor, the original Brainiac, as well as avoiding having to explain how an organic can be the 'descendant' of a robot.Season Two saw everyone age about two years, even Brainy, and the show went Darker and Edgier after the very light and bouncy first season. The premiere visited a Bad Future where Superman's clone was bred to fight Galactic Conqueror Imperiex, who when cornered escapes to the 31st century and proceeds to wreak havoc as the season's Big Bad.The series had its own comic series, Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century, which ran for 20 issues, some of them taking place after the end of the show.Not to be confused with Legion of Super-Heroes (2023). | |

Legion of Super Heroes (2006) / int_133f5d54 | comment |
Phantom Zone: The Phantom Zone makes an appearance in an episode where a much younger Superman releases a Kryptonian boy born/created by some of his old enemies to, naturally, kill Superman. He should really stop messing with the Phantom Zone projector. | |

Card-Carrying Villain | |
Legion of Super Heroes (2006) / int_137f2d7 | comment |
Card-Carrying Villain: A bit of a plot point in the episode "Phantoms". Phantom Zone escapee Drax hears the voices of his still-imprisoned parents in his head, constantly reminding him that he's evil and always will be. Supervillains really do make Abusive Parents. In the Grand Finale, despite never having self-identified as evil before (quite the opposite, in fact), the still-alive villain says to... no one in particular, "Evil does not die. It evolves," in an ill-fated Sequel Hook. | |

Legion of Super Heroes (2006) / int_1434e55c | comment |
Amazingly Embarrassing Parent: Phantom Girl sees her mother, President Winema Wazzo of the United Planets, as this. She knows her mother means well and the two get along better after "Champions" (although that's not to say their relationship was sour beforehand), but she can't help but feel exasperated when her mother becomes overly doting and protective or makes false assumptions about her daughter's dating habits. | |

Legion of Super Heroes (2006) / int_1520ad7e | comment |
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: The Light Speed Vanguard, who at first seem Cooler And More Effective Heroes, then Kinda Selfish Mercenary Heroes, then Ruthless Protection Racket. Alexis quickly goes from a brilliant but lonely Spoiled Brat with a wild streak to obsessing over her only friend to attempting to kill him for not wanting to be with her... and causing her hair to fall out. Realize who she's a Distaff Counterpart to yet? Forget Distaff Counterpart, try "descendant." | |

Noodle Incident: Alexis' experiment. "The top ten floors look as good as new, don't they?" Sometime between the first and second seasons, Cosmic Boy was reelected as leader and it's mentioned that Lightning Lad lost against him. Given Cosmic Boy Took a Level in Jerkass by the second season, one has to wonder how exactly anyone was willing to vote for him. | |

Musical Nod: A lot of the music is reminiscent of DCAU's themes, especially themes related to Superman — which are very similar to the main Leitmotif in Superman: The Animated Series. Makes sense, as this show was originally intended to be in the DCAU. | |

Superman, being Nigh-Invulnerable, is merely nonplussed while you can hear bones creaking and the girls collapse to the ground afterwards. | |

Advertised Extra: The Fatal Five were only the main villains of two episodes. The opening credits of season 2 were full of this. A notable example would be Sun Boy, who has an entire scene shown in the opening of every episode that season even though what was shown in the credits in pretty much all he ever did. There are also characters from season one who keep their spot in the opening despite their roles being significantly decreased that season to only appearing in a few episodes, like Saturn Girl. | |

The Smurfette Principle | |
Legion of Super Heroes (2006) / int_5d753b19 | comment |
The Smurfette Principle: The show started with female Legionnaires Saturn Girl, Phantom Girl, and Triplicate Girl. And then, in Season 2, the powers that be decided that male viewership would be put off by so many girls, so the girls were incapacitated and/or inexplicably sidelined for many episodes. Particularly irritating, as the Legion has numerous characters with a fairly even gender —and species— balance, and the comics have always averted this trope even all the way back to the Silver Age! The addition of Shrinking Violet in the same season was a very small counterbalance. | |

Big Eater: Bouncing Boy eats every bit of food he can reach.note In the comics, he's fat only as a side-effect of his powers, and doesn't have any more of an appetite than any other person. Admittedly, this may hark back to his always-chubby comic original, who gained his powers when he accidentally drank the experimental serum he was supposed to be delivering. (In his defense, the container was exactly the same size and shape as his soda bottle...) | |

No Matter How Much I Beg | |
Legion of Super Heroes (2006) / int_64e6f231 | comment |
No Matter How Much I Beg: Brainiac 5 at the beginning of "Brain Drain", where he's unsure of the aftereffects of the Coluan's alignment process on his brain patterns while detached from their collective (and the balance their Hive Mind setup provides). He locks himself into a containment chamber and makes the others promise to not free him until the ten hours are up. | |

Brought Down to Normal | |
Legion of Super Heroes (2006) / int_66ea7e5c | comment |
Brought Down to Normal: Superman in "Brain Drain" when under the rays of the planet's red sun. He finds a way to compensate. Also briefly in "Message in a Bottle," where he's zapped into the bottled city of Kandor without bringing his power suit to nullify the effects of the red sun (which, due to time travel, he didn't know he had at the time). Luckily, one of his robot duplicates gives the suit to Brainy. Later, after the suit is damaged and Supes loses his powers again, Brainiac 5 uses data given to him from Brainiac 1.0 to turn Kandor's sun yellow, thus reversing this and turning Kandor into an entire city of superpowered Kryptonians. Brainy in the finale. He's still smart but he's lost his ability to transform into his giant robot form or stretch his limbs. He essentially becomes a really smart, green human. | |

Disney Death: Happens in "Fear Factory" when Brainiac 5 sacrifices himself to shut down Quavermass-12, but comes back thanks to giving Superman a backup copy of himself prior to entering the space station's mainframe. Superman gets his own in the first part of "Dark Victory" when he appears to die from prolonged exposure to a Kryptonite crown. The second part has him recover with the revelation that he merely went into a temporary death-like state to fight off the Kryptonite poisoning. | |

Didn't Think This Through: Dream Girl used to work as a fortune teller named "Madame Mysterious" who had a history of conning people, though as she puts it she was only trying to tell people what they wanted to hear. Lightning Lad's still angry about the emotional trauma she put his family through when she lied about them finding his sister on the planet Nema, or more specifically, angry about what it did to his parents. Dream Girl said it was easier sometimes to lie to spare their feelings, without realizing just telling the Ranzz parents she didn't foresee a reunion with Ayla would've been preferable to getting their hopes up for nothing. | |

Villainous Breakdown | |
Legion of Super Heroes (2006) / int_957e5fc2 | comment |
Villainous Breakdown: When Brainiac 1.0 starts needing to exert effort to fight Brainiac 5 in their Battle in the Center of the Mind, it becomes obvious that Brainiac 1.0 didn't plan on this nor is he taking it well. When defeated, he gives off an almost uncharacteristically agonized scream. | |

Evil Counterpart: Drax is an Evil Counterpart to Superman. They have the same powers and both are Kryptonians since it is implied that his father is General Zod. Prior to his Heel–Face Turn in "Chained Lightning", Mekt Ranzz served as a villainous equivalent of his brother Garth due to having the same lightning-based powers and being more selfish and dishonest. | |

Status Quo Is God: At the very end of the penultimate episode of Season 1, Bouncing Boy is elected the leader of the Legion. After the time skip between Season 1 and 2 it seems that Cosmic Boy has been made the leader again. So from the audience's perspective Bouncing Boy was only the leader for 2 episodes before they changed it back. For most of the second season, Triplicate Girl loses her third self and goes by Duo Damsel. By the end of the series, her third self returns and is reunited with the rest of her. | |

I Did What I Had to Do: Brainy, often. Especially when it comes to making sure Superman doesn't learn too much about his future. Turned up to eleven when he becomes possessed by the original Brainiac, who intentionally uses this tendency to worm his way into Brainy's mind. Cosmic Boy also lives by this sort of code, which leads to him taking actions that the others may perceive as harsh. | |

Mission Control: Most episodes have someone filling this role. Usually, it is either Brainiac 5 or Bouncing Boy, but occasionally Cosmic Boy fills this role instead. | |

Shout-Out: "In the Beginning": To both the original Total Recall (1990)'s Latex Perfection and the Scooby-Doo You Meddling Kids line. And another in "Trials": "Only magic can defeat magic. Duh!" When Brainiac 5 goes loopy while sealed within his containment chamber at the beginning of "Brain Drain," he's seen moonwalking. The episode "Fear Factory" opens with the team watching a Fictional Counterpart to Alien, including stand-ins for Ripley, Jonesy, and the Xenomorph. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Legion of Super Heroes (2006) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: At least twice, between Brainiac and Superman, with the latter calling Brainy out for hiding both Supes's weakness to a red sun in "Brain Drain" and the original Brainiac's involvement in the shrinking of Kandor in "Message in a Bottle." And also when Brainiac suggested risking the Kandorians lives with Imperiex. With the former, Brainiac 5 told Superman he apparently failed to un-shrink Kandor. | |

Recruit the Muggles: In "Message in a Bottle", the citizens of Kandor are initially terrified of the villains, but ultimately step up to give the heroes some backup against them. This backup proves to be unexpectedly formidable when the Kandorians are exposed to a yellow sun and get the same powers as Clark. | |

Continuity Cameo Wait, is that Booster Gold cleaning that museum? With Skeets taking tickets at the door? ... Did Alexis just steal Lobo's bike? "Jo Nah of Rimbor"? And all the voiceless group-shot cameos by Legion members (e.g. Element Lad) and numerous Hopeless Auditionees (Night Girl, Double Header). Can you spot how many Green Lantern Corps species are background characters? Among the items a bored Zyx conjures up in the background while Superboy... er... man is expositioning are a Green Lantern power battery and Dr. Fate's helmet. A dog and a cat resembling Krypto and Streaky respectively can be seen in Kandor in the episode "Message in a Bottle". In "Trials," White Witch (a Legionnaire in the mainstream comics) shows up, but as a hologram/illusion contained with an enchanted bracelet tasked with guiding Zyx through his trials to regain his magical powers. | |

Composite Character: In "Phantoms," Drax is based on a hodgepodge of Phantom Zone criminals, is implied to be the son of General Zod and Faora/Ursa, and has many design elements of the non-Kryptonian Zod from Superman: Birthright. Superman X is one of Conner Kent (clone of Superman), Lar Gand/Mon-El (Superman's powers with an immunity to Kryptonite, plus being affiliated with the Legion), and the Superman of the 853rd century (successor of Superman from even further in the future). | |

Legion of Super Heroes (2006) / int_e7b0229a | comment |
Laser-Guided Amnesia: The reason every adaptation brings Saturn Girl to Smallville. But by Season Two, in a creepy Shoot the Dog moment to protect the timestream, Brainiac 5 uses a memory-flasher on Superman. Which, in light of the rest of the episode and combined with the self-satisfied look in his eyes is another nail in the foreshadowing coffin that the more ruthless Brainiac 1.0 had infected his mind and would turn up later. | |
