## Background

The Legion is a team of super-powered young an intergalactic adventurers from various planets. The team was based on the planet of Daxam, a planet known for its high number of alien immigrantion.

The team was founded by Polestar, Spark & Saturn Woman while they were serving on an intergalactic law enforcement task force known as the D'amsi. The three were quite exceptional at their job, becoming the go to team for the most serious of missions. In time, they decided to branch off from the D'amsi to start their own team as to self-govern themselves & to not only deal with major issues across the galaxy. Within the first years of their founding, the team grew in numbers.

In 2016, Daxam was attacked by the alien world-conqueror Mongul while many of the members were out on a mission. In the end, the planet was obliterated & the Legion lost a few members in the process. In the aftermath, some members left the team to return to their home planets or to restart their lives away from the devastation. Of the members that stayed on team, they continued on their journey to find a new place to make their base of operations to fight the good fight.

Shortly after Daxam's demise, the Legion heard of Mongul had set his sights on a new planet called Earth. Not willing to let another planet suffer the same fate as their own, they decided to travel there themselves to help the planet's citizens. Somehow, they were able to arive before Mongul but were quickly met by government agencies & the superhero team known as the Justice League. After some quick vetting from the Lantern Corps to vouch for them, the Legion was allowed to stay on Earth & helped the planet's heroes in defeat the intergalatic warlord. When the dust settled, talks began of the Legion possibly making Earth their permanent base with Lex Luthor, the recently elected UN Secretary General being their strongest advocate. Using his pull, he got the Legion sanctioned in 2017 with them recieving oversight from the UN organization known as ARGUS. Because of this, extraterristial beings have become more popular on Earth which has led to the Legion growing in numbers.

## Trivia

* During the time following the destruction of Daxam, the remainder of the team lived upon their spaceship called the Legion Clubhouse.

* Projectra & Galactus was fired from the team for breaking the no kill rule.
* Luorna Durgo left the team following Daxam's destruction & many of her teammates' death.
* The team was split up during the destruction of Daxam
	+ Saturn Woman, Ultra Man & Computo were on the United Planets month long conference.
	+ Valor, Chameleon, Colossal & Shrinking Violet were on Trogk for a mission.
	+ Polestar, Duo Damsel, Andromeda & Galactus were on Marzal at Tyroc's request for aid. This led to him joining the team.
	+ Spark, Phase & Recoil were on Myrg for a mission.
	+ Veil, Gorge, Duplicate & Inferno were on Daxam.
* The Legion came to Earth towards the end of 2016.
* All members of the team speak the language Interlac. It became the designated communication language after being passed by the United Planets Organization. Interlac's letter & numbering system corresponds to English, making it easy for those who know Interlac to learn English. They also have the ability to understand & speak virtually any language through the Legion Flight Ring.

## Notes

* *Earth-44 Explanation: In the comics, the Legion of Superheroes are a team of superheroes from Earth & other planets that are active in the 30th Century. Since there is no time travel, they were team based Daxam before the planet was destroyed & they came to Earth. They operate as an intergalactic team.*
* As the Legion made its appearance on Earth, they would not be able to a team without some jurisdiction or oversight. Due to their close relationship with the Justice League, it made sense to place them under the same jursidiction: ARGUS.
