## Introduction

In Season 1, Rip Hunter describes the state of the future and the death of his wife and son, the need to destroy Vandal Savage and the formation of his team.

Beginning with Season 2, a new introduction is introduced for each episode featuring a different legend talking about the formation and the team's responsibility of protecting time following the Time Masters' demise. Damien Darhk takes over in the episode "The Legion of Doom" where he along with Eobard Thawne and Malcolm Merlyn plan on changing the world once they get their hands on the Spear of Destiny. In "Doomworld", Eobard Thawne narrates the introduction after he successfully obtained the Spear in the previous episode.

In Season 3, the first two episodes have no intro whatsoever but beginning with the third episode, an introduction narrated by Sara and Martin talking about how they'll be remembered for "breaking" time and their mission to fix it. The fifth episode features a variant by former captain Rip Hunter with an intro similar to the standard one but from an outside perspective. As of the seventh episode, there is no intro.

Episodes of Season 4 had no introduction of any sort.

Season 5 and onwards had a character montage set to theme music, similar to Season 6 of *The Flash*. Season 7 feautres a new montage, and on the episode "Paranoid Android" it contains an opening monlogue.

### Season 1 *(narrated by Rip Hunter)*

"*In 2166, an immortal tyrant named Vandal Savage conquered the world, and murdered my wife and child. I have assembled an elite team to hunt him throughout time and stop his rise to power. Unfortunately, my plan is opposed by the body I'd sworn my allegiance to: the Time Masters. In the future, my friends may not be heroes. But if we succeed, they will be remembered as legends.*"
### Season 2 *(narrated by Jefferson Jackson in "Compromised"​, Amaya Jiwe in "The Chicago Way", Ray Palmer in "Camelot/3000", and Sara Lance in "Land of the Lost"​)*

"*Time travel is real, and all of history is vulnerable to attack. Which is why we must travel through time to stop this spread of these so-called Time Aberrations and to erase their damage to history. We are a team of outcasts and misfits. So please don't call us heroes, we're something else. We're legends.*
#### "Out of Time"​​​​ variant *(narrated by Martin Stein)*

"*The Time Masters were an organization charged with protecting history from rogue time travelers, but they were destroyed. Under the leadership of Rip Hunter we have taken up their mantle. Sara Lance, former member of the League of Assassins; Dr. Raymond Palmer, the Atom; the arsonist Mick Rory; and Firestorm, the merged super form of Jefferson Jackson and myself, Martin Stein. We are the only ones left to protect history. We are The Legends of Tomorrow.*"
#### "The Justice Society of America"​​​​ variant *(narrated by Sara Lance)*

"*My name is Sara Lance. Last year, a former Time Master named Rip Hunter recruited a team of heroes and villains to save the world, and we did, but in the process we destroyed the Time Masters. Now we've taken up their mantle of protecting the timeline from time criminals. We are no longer saving the world. We are saving history. But don't call us heroes. We are legends.*"
#### "Shogun"​ variant *(narrated by Nate Heywood)*

"*Time travel is real, and all of history is vulnerable to the attack of rogue time travelers. But one group travels throughout time to stop the spread of these so-called Time Aberrations and erase their damage to history. A group of outcasts and misfits. These individuals aren't heroes, they're something else. They're legends.*"
#### "Abominations"​, "Outlaw Country"​​ and "Raiders of the Lost Art" variant *(narrated by Martin Stein)*

"*Time travel is real, and all of history is vulnerable to attack. Which is why we must travel through time to stop the spread of these so-called Time Aberrations and to erase their damage to history. We are a team of outcasts and misfits. So please don't call us heroes, we're legends*."
#### "The Legion of Doom"​ variant *(narrated by Damien Darhk)*

"*My name is Damien Darhk. In 2016, I was murdered by the Green Arrow. But I was removed from the timeline 31 years before my death by a speedster from the future named Eobard Thawne. Together with Malcolm Merlyn, a former head of the League of Assassins, the three of us are going to locate the Spear of Destiny. A mystical object which can rewrite reality itself. With the Spear in our possession, we will change our past and our future and the world as you know it.*"
#### "Turncoat" variant *(narrated by Mick Rory)*

"*Seriously, you idiots haven't figured this out by now? It all started when we blew up the time pigs, the Time Masters. Now history's all screwed up, but it's up to us to un-screw it up. But half the time we screw things up even worse. So don't call us heroes, we're something else. We're legends. Who writes this crap anyway?*"
#### "Moonshot"​​​​ variant *(narrated by Mick Rory)*

"*Seriously, you idiots haven't figured this out by now? It all started when we blew up the time pigs, the Time Masters. Now history's all screwed up, but it's up to us to un-screw it up. But half the time we screw things up even worse. So don't call us heroes, we're something else. We're legends.*"
#### "Doomworld"​​​​ variant *(narrated by Eobard Thawne)*

"*My name is Eobard Thawne. With the help of Damien Darhk, Malcolm Merlyn, Leonard Snart and Mick Rory, I've obtained the Spear of Destiny. An ancient artifact with the power to rewrite reality itself, and we have. It's a brave new world.*"
### Season 3 *(narrated by Sara Lance in "Zari" and "Helen Hunt", and Martin Stein in "Phone Home"​​)*

"*How will we be remembered? Will it be for saving the world twice? Nope, we're the team who broke time. That's right, history has been torn to shreds, which means it's up to us to put it back together again piece by piece, fixing these so-called anachronisms before we get torn to shreds. So please don't call us heroes. We're legends.*"
#### "Return of the Mack"​ variant *(narrated by Rip Hunter)*

"*Time travel is real, and so are its consequences. When a terrible time paradox put all of history in peril, an elite team was formed. Their job, to protect history and repair these so-called anachronisms. Unfortunately, this is not that elite team. And yet, this team of misfits and outcasts is determined to fix the history which they have broken. Not because they are heroes, but because they are legends.*"
### Season 7 *(narrated by Sara Lance in "Paranoid Android" only)*

"*It all started when a man named Bishop created a team of robots. He sent them back in time with one goal: to destroy the 20th century. These machines were programmed to think that they were beyond human. That they were superheroes. They made their way cross-country, murdering some of the greatest figures in history. Famous lawmen and men of science. Finally, they kidnapped the inventor of time travel itself and, with his help, set their sights on destroying all of history. No one could stop these so-called legends, not until we came along, the real flesh-and-blood superheroes whose job is to put history back on track. We are the real Legends of Tomorrow.*"
