LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES

Original Legion Chronology

Part 8: 2989–2993 (The Five Year Gap)

Special thanks to Aaron Severson

Legion of Super-Heroes vol. 4 leapt five years ahead in time, after the end of vol. 3. The intervening years are commonly referred to as the "Five Year Gap." Events from this period were revealed throughout the stories of the vol. 4 title.

Bonus! "What if Legion of Super-Hereos vol. 3 had continued after issue #63?" Fan writer Don Sakers crafted "issue summaries" for every issue that might have been published between volumes 3 and 4 — in the "Five Year Gap."

The Five Year Gap
Keith Giffen and Tom & Mary Bierbaum begin as writers
2989
Sept. Earth removes its polymer shield. Earthgov debt soars. (Legion vol. 4 #30, June 1992)
Oct. The United Planets economy collapses. Many, such as the Coalition For Human-Humanoid Preservation, believe the rumors that the collapse was the result of a Khund conspiracy. Months later, a leading group of economists would conclude that the collapse occurred for other reasons. (Legion vol. 4 #1, Legion Sourcebook: 2994)
2 Nov. Tayla Wellington is elected President of Earth, defeating Hass An. NOTES: Wellington was first mentioned as President of Earth in Legion vol. 4 #1 (11.89). (Legion vol. 4 #30)
14 Dec. Thom Kallor sends Nura Nal a letter, ending their relationship. Legion Sourcebook: 2994
2990

19 Jan. Earthgov signs a "mutual assistance" pact with the Dominion and officially secedes from the United Planets. NOTES: Adventures of Superman #478 (May 1991) suggests that the principal reason for Earthgov's acquiescence to the Dominion was the revelation of the Dominators' "Triple Strike" contingency plan on Luna, which left Earth with little alternative. (Legion vol. 4 #30)
26 Feb. Saturn Girl resigns to tend to her family and its business in the wake of the Validus Plague on Winath. Brainiac 5 discovers that Garth and Imra's son Garridan Ranzz (Validus) is the carrier of the deadly Winathococcus Validus, the "Validus plague." Garth is crippled by the disease and Garridan is quarantined. Brainy dedicates himself to finding a cure. (Legion vol. 4 #3, Jan. 1990)
17 Mar. Former Legion Academy student Nightwind becomes a Legionnaire. NOTES: Nightwind first appeared in Legion vol. 2 #272 (Feb. 1981). (Legion Sourcebook: 2994)
21 Mar.–12 Apr. R.J. Brande, still in hiding, contacts Chameleon Boy and persuades him to help run Brande Industries. Cham resigns from the Legion. Marla Latham becomes the company's new president and chief operating officer. (Legion vol. 4 #1)
13 Apr. President of Earth Tayla Wellington issues a memo to Earth's Global Council recommending that Earthgov cut off funding to the Legion and begin surveillance and harassment of the Legionnaires. (Legion vol. 4 #1)
14 Apr. Kent Shakespeare joins the Legion, calling himself Impulse. NOTES: Kent's Legion membership was first mentioned in Legion vol. 4 #12 (Oct. 1990). *
7 June Faced with a crippling lack of funding and support, Chuck and Luornu Taine shut down the Legion Academy. (Legion Sourcebook: 2994)
In the wake of Mon-El's apparent death, Tasmia Mallor returns to Talok VIII and joins the Abbey of the Ancestors, cutting herself off from the outside world.
GLORITH REALITY: Shadow Lass and Valor leave U.P. space to explore the frontier.
(Legion vol. 4 #4, #6)
6 July At King Jonn's request, Chuck and Luornu Taine become Instructors General of the newly created U.P. Militia Academy. (Legion vol. 4 #15)
24 July The beleaguered United Planets is rocked by the formal secession of Earth, whose government claims the U.P. is incapable of dealing with the current economic and political crisis. With the withdrawal of the mother world, governance of the U.P. and the Science Police is relocated to Weber's World. Chief Kimball Zendak becomes Science Police Commissioner; Gigi Cusimano is promoted to Chief. Science Police Earth becomes a separate organization with no legal or administrative connection to the U.P.'s Science Police. (Legion vol. 4 #13)
23 Sept. Earthgov is indicted as a human rights violator by the Human Rights Institute. *
8 Oct. The Incumbency Restriction is repealed; Tayla Wellington begins successful run for re-election. (Legion vol. 4 #30)

  Earth's polymer shield is dismantled. (Legion vol. 4 #30)
19 Nov. King Jonn of Pasnic is appointed High Commander of the United Planets Militia. Somi Gan (Life Lass) joins the militia, eventually rising to the rank of colonel. (Legion vol. 4 #8)
2991
Feb. 10 Atmos and former Academy student Myg (Karate Kid II) become Legionnaires. Myg's links to the brutality of Lythyl immediately become fodder for Earthgov's anti-Legion propaganda. NOTES: Myg was first mentioned as a former Legionnaire in Legion vol. 4 #40 (Feb. 1993). Atmos' Legion membership is puzzling (and troubling) given the end of his earlier relationship with Dream Girl (in Legion vol. 3 #63, Aug. 1989). If he had really been deliberately manipulating her mind, it seems very unlikely that the Legion would have accepted him as a member (particularly given their previous reservations about him) or that Nura herself would have permitted it. It's possible (as Chris Cottingham speculates in the Atmos entry on Writeups.org that his power to influence the wills of others was a subconscious ability of which he was previously unaware. (If so, one hopes he was appropriately repentant about its effects on Nura!) (Legion Sourcebook: 2994)
5–20 Mar. Projectra receives a plea from the Council of Orakills' to return as their queen. She resigns her Legion membership. With political pressure from Earthgov making it difficult to hold new leadership elections or make any official transfer of leadership, Timber Wolf becomes unofficial acting leader with Polar Boy as his equally unofficial deputy. Projectra orders Orando returned to its original orbit in Earth's dimension. She renounces the additional powers she gained as Sensor Girl. (Legion vol. 4 #15, Feb. 1991)
23–30 Mar. The Daily Planet reports that Ultra Boy and Phantom Girl plan to wed on 9 June at the Prism Cliff Chapel on Deltwan. It's confirmed a week later. (Legion vol. 4 #2, Dec. 1989)
Shortly after their engagement, Glorith steals Phantom Girl away from Ultra Boy forever. From Legion vol. 4 Annual #1 (1990); by Mary Bierbaum, Tom Bierbaum and Doug Braithwaite.
12 Apr. Setting out for Bgztl, Phantom Girl and her cousin Enya Wazzo are lost in an interdimensional accident. It's due to the Time Trapper, who sends Tinya Wazzo to 20th century on Cairn, where she soon joins the L.E.G.I.O.N. as Phase; she has amnesia about her past. The Legion believes that she has died. In exchange, the Durlan is brought from that period to 2949 and later becomes R.J. Brande.
GLORITH REALITY: Glorith sends Tinya Wazzo's cousin, Enya Wazzo, to the 20th century, where she becomes Phase. Tinya is saved from death by the Time Trapper, who transports her to September 1, 2995, where she is reunited with Jo Nah and her SW6 counterpart. NOTES: Originally, Phase was explicitly identified in Who's Who #7 (Feb. 1991) and elsewhere as Tinya Wazzo. The revelation in L.E.G.I.O.N. #70 (Sept. 1994) that Phase was actually Tinya's previously unseen cousin Enya Wazzo appears to have been a hasty editorial improvisation to allow Phase to remain with the L.E.G.I.O.N. after the Legion's post-Zero Hour reboot. That revelation made little sense considering Glorith's original stated motivation (explained in Legion vol. 4 Annual #1, 1990) of punishing Jo Nah for his past interference with her plans by banishing his fiancée to another time. (It is also unclear why the Time Trapper would have used Tinya for that purpose; the Trapper had no specific grievance with either Tinya or Jo.) In any event, the Durlan's next chronological appearance is in the flashback story in Legion vol. 4 #8 (June 1990) and Tinya's next chronological appearance is Legion vol. 4 #61 (Sept. 1994).
(Legion vol. 4 #2, Nov. 1989), (L.E.G.I.O.N. #9, Dec. 1989)
19 Apr. Frustrated with the Legion's organizational problems and the lack of opportunities for personal glory, Atmos resigns. *
8 May Following her disappearance, the Science Police can find no trace of Tinya Wazzo and declare her dead. Jo Nah decides he can no longer remain with the Legion and resigns. (Legion vol. 4 #2, Dec. 1989)
26 May Mekt Ranzz (Lightning Lord) is released from Labyrinth to continue his therapy on an outpatient basis. He is remanded to the custody of his brother Garth, at their farm on Winath. (Legion vol. 4 #3, Jan. 1990)
28 May With the Legion's active membership shrinking rapidly, Polar Boy recruits former Legion Academy instructor Crystal Kid (Bobb Kohan), Rimborian champion Reflecto (Stig Ah), and ex-convict Echo (Myke-4 Astor) as Legionnaires. NOTES: Crystal Kid and Echo's membership was first mentioned in Legion vol. 4 #28 (Apr. 1992), which is also the first appearance of the younger Echo. An adult version from an alternate timeline had previously appeared as a member of the Legion of Super-Villains in the Adult Legion story in Adventure Comics #355 (Apr. 1967). Reflecto was first mentioned in the Adult Legion story in Adventure Comics #354 (Mar. 1967) as a Legionnaire who had died in action. In original (and presumably post-Crisis) continuity, Reflecto was an alternate identity used by Superboy and Ultra Boy in a highly convoluted story in Legion vol. 2 #277–282 (July–Dec. 1981). The Glorith Reality Stig Ah first appeared in flashback in Legion vol. 4 Annual #1 (1990) and his Legion membership was first mentioned in Legion vol. 4 #44 (May 1993). It is unclear if Stig Ah existed or ever became Reflecto in the previous timeline; in the letters page of Legion vol. 4 #15 (Feb. 1991), Tom and Mary Bierbaum imply that he did. *
12 June Braal declares war on Imsk. Shrinking Violet resigns from the Legion to join the Imskian army, becoming a field commander. (Legion vol. 4 #1, Nov. 1989)
24 June Rokk Krinn marries Lydda Jath (Night Girl) on the eve of his induction into the Braalian army. NOTES: Rokk and Lydda's marriage and Rokk's military service were first revealed in Legion vol. 4 #1 (Nov. 1989). *
5 July Sun Boy is named unofficial temporary leader, as pressures of the Black Dawn crisis mount and Timber Wolf's mental state deteriorates. (Legion Sourcebook: 2994)
7 July The android Molecule Master kills Reflecto with poison gas. NOTES: The death of Reflecto was "foretold" by the statue in the Adult Legion story in Adventure Comics #354 (Mar. 1967); a very different account appeared in Legion vol. 2 #281–282 (Nov.–Dec. 1981). (Legion Sourcebook: 2994)
23 July Earthgov declares a state of emergency due to Black Dawn. Elections are suspended. (Legion vol. 4 #30, June 1992)
An accident during the battle with Dr. Regulus causes Timber Wolf critical injury, and Wildfare to sacrifice himself. From Legion vol. 4 #52 (L. Dec. 1993); by Tom McCraw, Ron Boyd and Christopher Taylor.
14 Aug. BLACK DAWN: Molock Hanscom (Starfinger III) hires Dr. Regulus to destroy the sun in order to punish Earthgov for defaulting on a loan. When Timber Wolf, Wildfire, Blok, Sensor Girl, and Dream Girl confront him, Regulus' detonator is triggered and explodes. Wildfire saves the day by sacrificing himself and merging with the sun; he is believed killed. Timber Wolf is exposed to radiation which reacts with the Zuunium in his body, later causing him to become an inhuman creature, "Furball." Full Dominion control of Earthgov likely begins at this time. Sun Boy assumes leadership of the Legion. NOTES: Date given as August 12 in the Legion Sourcebook. Molock Hanscom was captured by the Legion and Dev-Em in Adventure Comics #320 (May 1964). According to Legion vol. 4 #12 (Oct. 1990), Molock is the brother of Lars Hanscom, the original Starfinger. His first appearance as Starfinger III was Legion vol. 4 #13 (Nov. 1990). The version of events depicted in Legion vol. 4 #52 has some discrepancies from the previous established timeline. Furball is revealed as Brin Londo in Legion vol. 4 #6 (Apr. 1990). (Legion vol. 4 #52, L. Dec. 1993), (Legion vol. 4 #28, Apr. 1992)
  Earthgov President Tayla Wellington sends a detachment of Science Police Earth officers to bring in Sun Boy and Polar Boy for debriefing on the events of Black Dawn. Thinking his comrades are being arrested, Karate Kid II intervenes and becomes a wanted fugitive. *
Legionnaires resign after Black Dawn. From Legion vol. 4 #28, Apr. 1992; by Mary Bierbaum, Tom Bierbaum, Jason Pearson and Al Gordon.
  Dream Girl resigns her Legion membership to become High Seer of Naltor. Devastated by the apparent death of Wildfire and Earthgov's ongoing harassment campaign, Dawnstar and Blok also depart. Blok begins a quest to learn more about his people. (Legion vol. 4 #28, Apr. 1992)
  Crystal Kid resigns his Legion membership. (Legion vol. 4 #28, Apr. 1992)
23–28 Aug. Element Lad decides that he can no longer continue as a Legionnaire in the face of Earth's growing hostility. He resigns and breaks off his relationship with Shvaughn Erin to continue his spiritual explorations on Trom. (Legion vol. 4 #28, Apr. 1992)

During the the Brall/Imsk war, Rokk Krinn is injured, then saved by Salu Digby. From Legion vol. 4 #20 (July 1991); by .
8 Oct. At Venado Bay on the planet Braal-13, the Imskian army uses a magnetic pulse weapon called the Damper, killing or maiming 7,000 Braalian soldiers, including Rokk Krinn and his friend Loomis. Rokk and Loomis lose their magnetic powers. Wounded, Rokk attacks an Imskian patrol, unaware that its leader is Salu Digby (Shrinking Violet). Vi loses her right eye in Rokk's attack. (Legion vol. 4 #20, July 1991)
20 Oct. Former Legion Academy student Visi-Lad (Rhent Ustin) and three more former Substitutes — Chlorophyll Kid (Ral Benem), Infectious Lass (Drura Sepht), and Porcupine Pete (Peter Dursin) — are admitted to the Legion. NOTES: Chlorophyll Kid first appeared in Adventure Comics #306 (Mar. 1963), the first appearance of the Substitute Heroes. Infectious Lass and Porcupine Pete first appeared in Superboy vol. 1 #201 (Mar./Apr. 1974). Visi-Lad's first appearance was in Legion vol. 3 Annual #3 (1987). The only account of his origins was in Who's Who in the Legion #7 (Oct. 1988). *

7 Nov. Prince Evillo resumes his position as Supreme Ruler of Tartarus, which joins the United Planets. NOTES: Evillo and his "Devil's Dozen" first appeared in Adventure Comics #350–351 (Nov.–Dec. 1966). According to the 2995 Legion of Super-Heroes Sourcebook, Evillo was imprisoned after that encounter in 2978. It is unclear exactly when he was released. (Legion vol. 4 #14, Jan. 1991)
Nov. GLORITH REALITY ONLY: Laurel Gand falls in love with Rond Vidar. *
  Thom Kallor marries Yvyya Val and becomes manager of the Naltor Dreamers batball team, which Yvyya owns. NOTES: The Naltor Dreamers were first mentioned in Adventure Comics #366 (Mar. 1968). Thom Kallor's new job was first mentioned in Legion vol. 4 #3 (Jan. 1990). (Legion vol. 4 #37) (E Dec. 1992)
27 Nov. Increasingly desperate for members, Polar Boy admits Color Kid (Ulu Vakk) and Stone Boy (Dag Wentim) to the Legion. Both are immediately met by hostility and xenophobic propaganda from Earthgov and Science Police Earth. NOTES: Stone Boy first appeared in Adventure Comics #306 (Mar. 1963). Color Kid, a former Legion reject, first appeared in Adventure Comics #342 (Mar. 1966) and joined the Substitute Heroes in DC Comics Presents #59 (July 1983). *

20 Jan. Porcupine Pete is detained on charges of interfering with an officer.  
21 Jan. Leading economics authorities adjourn Rebirth Summit I, condemning the Khund Conspiracy theory behind the Great Collapse, instead deciding it was caused by a combination of over-extended credit, widescale ecological damage and runaway spending on anti-Khund fortifications. (Legion vol. 4 #1)
Feb. Prince Evillo hires Magpie to steal the Hypno-Stone of Ouranos from an Earthgov vault. After an argument with Evillo, however, Magpie instead gives the stone to Eve Aries (Saturn Queen). NOTES: It's not entirely clear if the Saturn Queen who appears in Legion vol. 4 is the same one who previously traveled back in time as a member of the adult Legion of Super-Villains in Adventure Comics #331 (Apr. 1965). Both Who's Who in the Legion #4 (Aug. 1988) and the 2995 Sourcebook indicate that she is; the latter also implies that she was part of the "young" LSV as early as 2981 (circa Superboy vol. 1 #208, Apr. 1975) and simply managed to avoid capture thanks to her powers. Tenzil Kem addresses her as "Saturn Queen" in Legion vol. 4 #14 (Jan. 1991), suggesting he knows who she is, but he seems remarkably unconcerned about her villainous past or likely intentions. (Legion vol. 4 #49, E. Nov. 1993)
Late Feb. GLORITH REALITY ONLY: Laurel Gand visits Dawnstar on Starhaven and finds her moody and withdrawn. NOTES: Some time after this, Dawnstar's wings were cut off and she was possessed by the Bounty entity, as revealed in Legion vol. 4 #36 (L Nov. 1992). *

9 Apr. Following the forced departure of Infectious Lass, her friends Chlorophyll Kid, Color Kid, and Porcupine Pete resign from the Legion and begin underground work against Earthgov. *
27 May Polar Boy admits one-time Legion reject Calamity King (E. Davis Ester) to the Legion. NOTES: Calamity King first appeared in Adventure Comics #342 (Mar. 1966) *
21 June Kivun Roxxas is released from his imprisonment on Labyrinth for unknown reasons.

(Legion vol. 4 #10)

30 June Horrified by the Earthgov persecution of his comrades, Invisible Kid II (Jacques Foccart) resigns from the Legion. After attending the graduation ceremony of his sister Danielle, Jacques becomes a leader of the anti-Earthgov movement. *
6 July Polar Boy, leader of the Legion of Super-Heroes, sends a letter to President Wellington regretfully announcing the disbanding of the team. On the planet Tharn, the new Sorcerer's World, Mordru is made Supreme Teacher and the Bearer of the Robes of All Power. (Legion vol. 4 #1, 6, 30)
29 July Gim Allon (Colossal Boy) rejoins the Science Police. NOTES: As revealed in Legion vol. 3 #39 (Oct. 1987), Gim had been a Science Police cadet at the time of the accident that gave him his powers, although he subsequently left to join the Legion. (Legion vol. 4 #12, Oct. 1990)
Polar Boy's "Pizza Hall Insurrection." From Legion vol. 4 #11 (Sept. 1990); by Keith Giffen, Mary Bierbaum, Tom Bierbaum, Craig Brasfield and Al Gordon.

28 Aug. On the Sorcerer's World, Mordru marries Mysa Nal, the former White Witch. On Earth, Ral Benem (Chlorophyll Kid) narrowly escapes the Science Police. NOTES: According to the first text feature in Legion vol. 4 #6 (Apr. 1990), Mordru and Mysa originally became involved before his power was restored in mid-2992, at a point where he seemed to no longer be evil. *
9 Sept. Depressed and broke, Dirk Morgna signs a lucrative contract with Earthgov to become the government's official liaison and public spokesperson. He is contractually barred from speaking or acting against Earthgov or the Dominion. (Legion vol. 4 #28, Apr. 1992)
8 Nov. Marak Russen (Atmos) applies for employment with Earthgov, hoping for a liaison position like Dirk Morgna's. Instead, the Dominion orders him sent to the Weisinger Chambers for genetic experimentation. *
Char Burrane (Starfinger II) leaves his self-imposed exile within his ring and escapes from Earth. NOTES: No precise date was established for this event, which was revealed in a news story in the 2995 Legion of Super-Heroes Sourcebook. That news item indicates that Starfinger had been in the custody of the Legion (presumably still hiding inside his ring) and escaped after the Legion disbanded, but the end of Starfinger II's previous appearance (in Legion vol. 3 Annual #4) clearly showed his ring being guarded by Science Police officers. It is possible that the story was deliberately distorted by Earthgov as part of the government's ongoing smear campaign against the Legion. *
29 Dec. Myg (Karate Kid II) is arrested by Science Police Earth. *
2993
7 Jan. Myg is transferred to the Dominators' Weisinger Chambers beneath Metropolis to become a research subject. *

9 April On Janda, Char Burrane (Starfinger II) is murdered by the Persuader on the orders of Molock Hanscom (Starfinger III). NOTES: Burrane's murder was first revealed in the second text feature in Legion vol. 4 #12 Oct. 1990), which indicates that after Burrane's death, his ring ended up in the possession of his son, Char Burrane Jr. *
21 May Universo hires Grinn, a mercenary who previous served with Zaryan and the Dark Circle, to work for the anti-Earthgov resistance on Earth. NOTES: Although Grinn's origin was never established, it is possible that he previously appeared as one of the elemental monsters that the Legion fought at the beginning of the Magic Wars, who also appeared as disembodied grins. If so, his first appearance was Legion vol. 3 #60 (May 1989). *
12 June Bobb Kohan (Crystal Kid) is arrested by Earthgov. *
18 July Bobb Kohan is transferred to the Weisinger Chambers. *
14 Aug. Grev Mallor (Shadow Kid) marries Kahnya Nahtahnie, Lady Memory, in hopes of unifying Talok VIII's people. NOTES: Lady Memory's real name was revealed in the text piece in Legion vol. 4 #4 (Feb. 1990). (Legion vol. 4 #15, Feb. 1991)

Theoretically, they can return the extradimensional island to a location of their choosing, catching the Marzallians by surprise, enabling Earthgov forces to destroy them.  
2994
17 Jan. Earthgov brings Tyroc's home city of Marzal back to Earth's dimension and then destroys the city, painting its reappearance as a Khundish sneak attack. Tyroc (Troy Stewart), one of Marzal's few survivors, later becomes an anti-Earthgov resistance fighter. NOTES: The fact that Marzal was returned to Earth deliberately was revealed in the 2995: The Legion of Super-Heroes Sourcebook. (Legion vol. 4 #16, Mar. 1991)
24 Feb. Dirk Morgna tries unsuccessfully to intervene after Don and Dawn Allen (the former "Tornado Twins") are arrested in connection with the Quebec City powersphere disaster. NOTES: The first appearance of Don and Dawn Allen, the children of Barry Allen (Flash II) and his wife, Iris (West) Allen, was in Adventure Comics #373 (Oct. 1968), although in that story, they are described only as descendants of the Flash. *
