Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })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 then Adventures Happen.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })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, clearing away a fifty-year-old example of Writing Around Trademarks.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 back 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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })The character sheet can be found here. | |

Legion of Super-Heroes / 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 / 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 / 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. | |

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.

Mecha-Mooks: Imperiex's army, which he somehow still has after arriving in the past, are unfortunately named "Destructo-bots" at one point. Before that, Brainiac 5 all but served as a renewable Red Shirt, since robot injuries get a free pass from the Media Watchdog, especially one who can self-repair. | |

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 / 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 Loads and Loads of 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. | |

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...) | |

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 into a yellow sun, 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. | |

Calling Your Attacks | |
Legion of Super-Heroes / int_71bd62b9 | comment |
Calling Your Attacks: In the episode "Champions," Jo Nah (a.k.a. Ultra Boy, who has all of Superman's powers but only one at a time) calls out his powers as he activates them so viewers can know what the hell he's doing, straddling the line between this trope and By the Power of Grayskull!. | |

Unwinnable Training Simulation: Bouncing Boy fails a training simulation in "Chain of Command", which causes him to doubt whether he's suitable for being leader of the Legion. "The Man from the Edge of Tomorrow" begins its first part with Brainiac 5 running a simulation that ends with him sacrificing himself to end the threat. | |

Laughably Evil: Starfinger. Sweet fancy Moses, Starfinger. He's more dangerous indirectly than you'd expect for a man of such foppish whimsy who is deemed a "third-rate nuisance" by Brainiac, but the slapstick provided by his battles with the Legion of Substitute Heroes is good for at least a couple dozen laughs or so. | |

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 into a yellow sun, thus reversing this and turning Kandor into an entire city of superpowered Kryptonians. | |

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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

Superman X is one of Conner Kent (clone of Superman), Lar Gand/Mon-El (Superman's powers with an immunity to Kryptonite), and the Superman of the 853rd century (successor of Superman from even further in the future). | |

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. | |

Evil Brit: Drax. Appropriate, if it's true that he is General Zod's son. | |

Never Say "Die": Even when they managed to get a Heroic Sacrifice and a murder conspiracy onto kids' TV, they still couldn't call it death. | |
