Mark Waid, Tom McCraw, and Stuart Immonen introduced readers to a new continuity with a new Legion of Super-Heroes team. In order to reconnect with a lighter and more simple Legion, the title was rebooted for the first time in 1994. Already an artist attached to the Legion, Keith Giffen took over for a dark run with some confusing continuity elements. Next to Uncanny X-Men and New Teen Titans, the Legion of Super-Heroes became one of the biggest-selling books of the eighties, when Paul Levitz served as a writer – who would become the writer the most associated with the Legion. The Legion obtained its own regular feature in Adventure Comics #300 and had to share the spotlight for several years with Superboy until they finally had their own title in the seventies. They proved so popular that they made a return once, twice… and many more times. Created by writer Otto Binder and artist Al Plastino for a one-off story, the Legion is a team of young superheroes teenagers coming from the 30th Century and 31st Century. When Superboy met three teenagers and members of the Legion of Super-Heroes for the first time in Adventures Comics #247 (April 1958), he couldn’t predict how popular this young team was destined to become.
