Legends of Tomorrow (TV Series)

**DC's Legends of Tomorrow, or simply Legends of Tomorrow, is a TV series. It's described as a "superhero team-up show.**

   **Characters That Should Appear:**

1. **Alec Holland/Swamp-Thing (With Swamp-Things own series getting cancelled the Legends could be the perfect team for him to join next. Since the team is all about misfits he's the ultimate outsider. Despite his monstrous appearance he does have a pure heart. He'd make an interesting addition to the team and would create some very different situations in terms of how the crew deal with him.**

**2. Patrick "Eel" O'Brian/Plastic Man (The character is completely bizarre and absolutely hilarious which makes him a pretty great fit for the team. He'd also offer up a set of skills that the Legends don't currently have, making him useful for future stories.)**

**3. Tatsu Yamashiro/Katana (She needs a chance to discover something new about herself and step outside of her comfort zone. Boarding the Waverider could be the next biggest decision of her life and completely change the outlook of the character.)**

**4. Ronnie Raymond/Firestorm (As the original partner to Professor Martin Stein as the superhero Firestorm, Ronnie would have been a candidate to join the Legends had it not been for his untimely death. Had he lived, Ronnie had the potential to be a valuable ally. This was seen when he and Oliver Queen assisted Barry Allen against Eobard Thawne on The Flash. Legends of Tomorrow, is, first and foremost, a time travel show. While Jefferson Jackson no longer has the Firestorm matrix, a past version of Ronnie would have so the two could become partners. This would allow the character of Firestorm to continue in the Arrowverse while also exploring new interactions through Ronnie.)**

**5. Jesse Quick (Jesse Quick and her father Harrison "Harry" Wells were recurring characters on The Flash from the second season until recently when their Earth was destroyed in Crisis On Infinite Earths. However, the audience was never shown their bodies which provides hope that they are still alive somehow. Wally West, Jesse's ex-boyfriend, joined the Legends during season three. Having a speedster on the team allows for different dynamics and new ways to fight villains. Furthermore, God Friended Me, the show that Jesse's actress Violett Beane had been starring on was recently canceled, meaning she has new free time to reprise the role.)**

**6. Ryan Choi/The Atom (Ryan Choi, a non-metahuman individual, appeared in the recent Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover event. He was one of seven Paragons, alongside heroes such as Supergirl, The Flash and Batwoman, to fight against the Anti-Monitor. Previously, Ryan was referenced on The Flash as a future creator of a Flash suit. In DC Comics, Ryan Choi is the second person to hold the mantle of The Atom, after Ray Palmer. On Legends of Tomorrow, actor Brandon Routh, who plays Ray, is leaving the series. This means that there is an open spot for Ryan, who had previously expressed admiration for Ray Palmer, to take his place.)**

**7. Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost (From the beginning of her existence, Frost (formerly known as Killer Frost) has been an alternate personality in the subconsciousness of Dr. Caitlin Snow, a member of Team Flash. She has evolved from being a selfish villain to a hero and an active member of the team. Especially in season six of The Flash, Frost has experienced immense growth. Although they share a body, Frost and Caitlin are very different characters. In particular, Frost has shown how different of a person she is and has had separate storylines. Finding some way to separate the two and putting Frost (and her powers) on Legends of Tomorrow could give her a chance to shine.)**

**8. Ralph Dibny/Elongated Man (Former Police Detective and now Private Investigator, Ralph has been a regular presence on The Flash since season four. While he initially held a grudge against Barry Allen for costing him his job at CCPD, the two eventually reconciled their differences. Ralph gained metahuman powers and joined Team Flash as Elongated Man. However, the show is called The Flash and not The Elongated Man. There are already heroes, such as Flash, Frost and longer ago, Vibe, that overshadow Ralph. It may be a good idea to follow in Wally's footsteps and join the Legends.)**

**9. Michael Carter/Booster Gold (In some ways, it's pretty surprising that Booster Gold hasn't shown up on Legends of Tomorrow. Like the hero himself, the Legends are a bunch of time-traveling goofballs who don't really know what they're doing, so Booster seems like a perfect fit. Add in that Legends is probably as close as fans will ever get to see the more comedic Giffen/DeMatteis version of the Justice League in live-action, and it becomes even more obvious that Booster should be on the team. Ray Palmer and Nate Heywood essentially filled the classic Booster and Blue Beetle role of the Justice League International days, but now that Ray has left the team, there's an opening for everyone's favorite hero from the 25th-century.)**

**10. Matthew Tyler/Android Hourman (Another time-traveling hero, the Android Hourman comes from the 853rd-century, which is pretty far out there. What would make him a great new addition to the team is the inhumanity of the Android Hourman. As an android from so far in the future, this hero would essentially fill a similar role as that of Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Someone who is learning what it means to be human, and who often misunderstands human nature and pop culture references. Plus, the Android Hourman has a great look to him, which could really stand out compared to the other members of the Legends.)**

**11. David Langhorn Clinton/Chronos (With the announcement that Dominic Purcell would not be a regular cast member starting next season, *Legends of Tomorrow* need a new criminal to fill Heat Wave's spot on the roster, and who better than Chronos? Chronos, or more specifically Walker Gabriel, was a time-traveling anti-hero who would just as soon steal Cleopatra's wig as he would save everyone in Pompeii. Walker's adventures in the timestream made him an enemy of the Linear Men, and that kind of attitude is the right style for a new member of the Legends to have.)**

**12. Vic Sage/The Question (Along with having a very cool look, the Question would bring something that the Legends could probably use; a member with detective skills. Be it Vic Sage or Renee Montoya under the faceless mask, Question is an ear-to-the-ground-style detective who gets a little too obsessed with theories and knows how to beat up a whole lot of bad guys. The Question gained a new fanbase when the character played an important role in Justice League Unlimited and having them appear on Legends could only build on that momentum. As an added bonus, Question would make a good straight man to the comedic tendencies of the other members of the team.)**

**13. Boston Brand/Deadman (A former circus trapeze artist who was murdered during a performance, Deadman was granted the power to possess any living being by a god named Rama Kushna in order to find the person who killed him and get justice. Deadman is a ghost who can not be seen but can possess anyone, which makes him a great addition to the show without raising the budget all that much. The occasional CGI appearance of the actual Deadman before he possesses someone is all the show would need. Add in Deadman's creepy look and power, and the character would bring a whole new feel to the show.)**

**14. Rory Regan/Ragman (Introduced on Arrow Season 5, Ragman A.K.A. Rory Regan was a recruit brought in by Oliver Queen after his town was destroyed by a missile, and he gained powers to use rags that cover his body. He exited halfway through the season once his powers were negated, but has since allegedly gained them back. Ragman’s inclusion into the Waverider team would fulfill a major qualification for the team, which is taking a character that was either underutilized or misused and remedying that.**

**15. Helena Bertinelli/Huntress (Her whereabouts post-Crisis are unknown as of yet, but it’s presumed that she’s alive and mysteriously missing. Perhaps this is where she has been, flying around on the Waverider. She already met Sara Lance once before and they seemed to have a connection, so they already have baked-in chemistry.**

**16. Lisa Snart/Golden Glider (The sister to Leonard Snart, Lisa took on the villainous persona of Golden Glider and, armed with a gun that can turn anything into gold, and took to robbing alongside Captain Cold and Heatwave. Given that there’s no sign that she’s aware of her brother’s death, bringing her into the fold would make a fun addition. It would also create a good connection with Mick and his somewhat former life of thieving and mischief.)**

**17.  Conner Kent/Superboy (There have been several characters who have used this name, but one of the most interesting was Conner Kent. A clone hybrid of Superman and Lex Luthor, he went from being an arrogant boy of steel to a troubled young man, struggling to be accepted and always feeling alone. With an array of diluted super-powers which would always put him far behind Superman, he could still hold his own and had the heart of a hero. Given his somewhat anti-social nature, he could add an interesting dynamic to the team. His physical appearance is similar in age to Jax (despite being a young clone), so they could become fast friends as the youngest members of the team.**

**18. Rex Tyler/Hourman (If you were Rip Hunter and had the ability to recruit any heroes from any era, why limit yourself to a handful of hangers-on from 2016’s Star City and Central City? How about a trip back to World War Two to recruit the JSA’s Man of the Hour, who takes a pill which grants him enhanced human abilities for sixty minutes at a time? Rex Tyler was many things – a hero, a chemist, a successful businessman… and a lousy father. With his Golden Age values he’d be a nice contrast to his teammates, whilst still having the logic to discuss science with Stein. His flawed personal life, addiction to both his miraclo pills and the superhero lifestyle, and his future namesake being a time-traveller could lead to interesting situations.**

**19. Karen Starr/Powergirl (If you want raw power, you’ve got it. With a history as confusing as it is fascinating and a no-nonsense attitude, she puts Hawkgirl to shame. Is she an Atlantean, an alternate reality Supergirl or something else even more bizarre? There’s a lot to explore in her past and her presence could blow the multiverse wide open for our heroes to play around with, but it’s her slow-burn impatience with others and her quick-tempered desire to get the job done which have made her a fan favourite over the years. And whatever you do, don’t give her diet soda… that just makes her worse.)**

**20. Tenzil Kem/Matter-Eater Lad (Maybe a trip to the future could lead to one of the Legion of Superheroes’ best and brightest joining the team? Unfortunately, Brainiac 5 is out that day and he isn’t the one the Waverider picks up. Instead they get Tenzil Kem, better known as Matter-Eater Lad. His Legion flight ring might allow him to fly, but his real claim to fame is that he can, well, eat anything. That may not sound like much, but his light-hearted heroism and ability to chew his way through any obstacle could provide some unexpected laughs.)**

**21. Kamandi (Why settle for a hero from the 31st century when you could have the last boy on Earth? From a post-apocalyptic Earth A.D. (After Disaster) future – a world where super-evolved animals rule and the human race is all but extinct – teenage hero Kamandi has extensive knowledge of the past and is a cunning and athletic adventurer. However, his understanding of technology is limited (and sometimes confusing) and his social skills are more at home with animals than other human beings, which makes him an ideal fish-out-of-water figure to join our Legends of Tomorrow heroes.)**

**22. Lobo (If you need to stop an immortal, bloodthirsty tyrant like Vandal Savage, then why not just hire an immortal, bloodthirsty bounty hunter to stop him? Rip Hunter should have hired Lobo from the outset. The self-proclaimed “Main Man” has expert tracking skills, a penchant for ultra-violence, a genius-level intellect under his hard-rocking exterior, a strong moral code which means he always keeps his word, and the ability to regenerate his whole body from a single drop of blood. He’s battled across time, space and even the afterlife, and his fast-living lifestyle could make for a lot of fun! It would be great to see him join the Legends of Tomorrow team.)**

**23. Linda Park/Dr. Light (Earth-2's Linda Park showed up in The Flash's second season as yet another of Zoom's minions sent to kill Barry, though she tried to kill her E-1 doppelganger and assume her life instead, only to fail, get caught by the team, and, ultimately, escape, leaving her costume behind to never be heard from again. Presumably, Zoom never bothered to track her down and punish her, meaning she's likely still out there in hiding in E-1. As a meta, a literal outsider, and a thief with the chance at a redemption arc, there's a lot of character potential for Dr. Light joining the team in the second season to finally come back out of hiding to forge her own new identity and truly find a place for herself in E-1.)**

**24. Jonah Hex (Jonah Hex made his first appearance in the Arrowverse in the eleventh episode of Legend's first season, but it sure was a memorable one, with actor Johnathon Schaech doing a pretty great job bringing the character to life and solidifying him as a character worth getting excited about seeing again. Aside from barely scratching the surface of his own character and history, his connection with Rip would make him a logical ally to bring into the fold for one story reason or another. Between the types of fish-out-of-water scenarios he could be placed in throughout time to the chance to properly dive headlong into doing the character justice in a way the Josh Brolin-led 2010 film failed to do, there's a lot of opportunity for Jonah Hex to make a huge mark on the Arrowverse going forward.)**

**25. Roy Harper/Arsenal (Roy "Arsenal" Harper was a staple of Arrow throughout its first three seasons, up until he took the fall for Oliver by coming out as the Arrow, faking his death in prison, and leaving Starling to start his life anew, though he returned for a single-episode appearance in the show's fourth season.  With Roy still, essentially, "on the run," bringing him onto the team for season two would be a good way to give the character the chance to stop having to look over his shoulder or worry if someone like the Calculator will find him again. On top of that, he'd be able to step out from Oliver's shadow, stop being a sidekick, and make himself a legend in all his flip-fighting glory.)**

**26. Mari McCabe/Vixen (Vixen made the leap from her own animated series on CW Seed to live-action earlier this season on Arrow, and - love her or not - it's still pretty cool that that even happened in the first place. Considering, too, that the CW isn't shying away from ensuring actress Megalyn E.K. has a place alongside Arrowverse leads like Stephen Amell, Grant Gustin, and (now) Melissa Benoist, it's just a matter of time before she resurfaces again somewhere outside her own series. Giving her a spot on the team in season two would be a good way to really flesh her out for people whose first exposure to her was seeing her appearance on Arrow rather than through her own series, the first season of which only ran a grand total of about a half an hour. On top of that, her abilities would make her stand out from the rest of the team right off the bat, and it would well and truly bring E.K. into the Arrowverse spotlight.)**

**27. Laurel Lance/Black Siren (After Laurel Lance was killed off on Arrow - sigh - several episodes back, The Flash wasted no time in introducing her E-2 counterpart Black Siren, keeping the criminally-underused Katie Cassidy in the Arrowverse family as a result. Unlike the heroic Black Canary, Black Siren prided herself on her villainy, working for Zoom until she was captured by Team Flash and locked up for the time being, with the gang agreeing not to tell Team Arrow about her presence. In a single episode, The Flash treated Laurel and Cassidy with more respect than Arrow has of late, and even though it's not "the" Laurel fans have seen grow over the years, a Laurel is better than no Laurel. With meta powers and a whole lot of potential to grow from the Siren back into the Canary, seeing her join the team in season two to make that journey - much like Snart and Rory did over the course of season one - and how Sara would react to and bond (or not bond) with her sister's doppelganger would be quite awesome.)**
