Seeking haven from the xenophobic Progeny, the "pathfinder" Shikari stumbles across the Legion Outpost. There she awakens the Tromium-encased Legion, who help her.

Legion: Lost #7 (Nov. 2000)

They believe this "First Galaxy" is tainted by the Progeny. M'onel's Legion goodwill mission, led by RJ Brande, was captured by Singularity on Amshana. The Legion fail to negotiate their release, so Live Wire (in the Credo's enemy's — the Progenitor's — body) surrenders to Singularity. NOTE: M'onel dons a uniform much like his pre-Crisis one.

The Legion #32 (June 2004)

Singularity refuses to release Brande and his team, but the Espionage Squad frees the Legion from the Credo. Then the whole Legion attacks.

After five months in the 31st century, Superboy finally recovers his memory of the time he left. He returns to the past to recruit the Titans to help the Legion against a massive multi-reality Fatal Five. The Persuader follows him and the Titans enter a portal to the future. They meet the Legion. Dreamer predicts that neither team will return home after their upcoming battle. NOTE: The teams do not recall their previous meeting (Titans/Legion: Universe Ablaze) because their memories of that event were erased. This issue was published fan in advance of Infinite Crisis. It was written by Geoff Johns, one of the architects of the new multiverse.

Teen Titans vol. 3 #16 (Late Nov. 2004)

Tharok has used the Persuader's axe to carve into other realities and assembled a Fatal 500 from a hundred other timelines. The Legion and Titans convene at the Legion's old headquarters in Metropolis. Andromeda rejoins them to help. Kid Flash is reunited with his mother, who is with the Science Police. Brainy devises a plan to use the speedsters' powers to create the vibrational frequencies to return the villains to their realities. As a side effect, the Legion is disconnected from their own reality. Invisible Kid notes that it's the result of another force (Superboy Prime) "pounding against reality." The only tether to their reality is the Persuader's axe, which Superboy holds. He decides to try to return all the heroes to the 21st century, but the Persuader grabs his axe and sends them reeling. The Titans return to a time one decade ahead of when they left. The Legion is lost again in Limbo; only Shikari is thrust back into "reality" where she witnesses the new Earth-Prime, which is the home of a new, more rebellious Legion.

52 #52 (May 2007)

Limbo: Still navigating through Limbo, Shikari and Dreamer catch glimpses of Legions from parallel universes. They eventually make contact with Legionnaires from Earth-0, who guide Shikari to their world.

Brainiac 5 reveals that XS and Impulse were born on Earth-0 but migrated to Earth-247. The lightning-based heroes provide power to XS while she uses a Cosmic Treadmill. Upon surpassing the speed of light, Brainiac 5 uses the lightning rod to free its inhabitant—Bart Allen. NOTE: This issue provides the first real explanation of the Legions' first meeting, over the fate of the Tornado Twins.

Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds #3 (Dec. 2008)

Earth-0: Legionnaires from all realities are brought to the End of Time to pummel Prime. Brainy deduces that the Time Trapper is more an entity rather than one single person: a "sentient alternate timeline rebelling against ours." The White Witch sacrifices herself to stop Mordru. By uttering "aufero magus infusco," she absorbs him completely (along with others he'd absorbed, including Kinetix) and she becomes the Black Witch. When the Time Trapper makes contact with his younger self, he disappears. He finds himself home at last, in 21st century Earth-Prime, where events of the DC universe happen only in comics. Brainiac 5 confirms that Earth-247 no longer exists. This Legion decides, at Shikari's behest, to pursue evidence of other lost survivors in the multiverse. They will be new Wanderers. XS and Gates elect to remain on Earth-0. Superboy and Kid Flash are reunited with the Titans in the 21st century.

Back at HQ on Rimbor, he staffs his next group with Magno-Boy, Lodestone, Triad III, Triplicate, Argent, Silverwing, Shape and Shift. They succeed.
