This is a placeholder until (a) I get stuff added and (b) it gets properly formatted.

Legion of Super Heroes is an animated show on the CW Network. The premise of the show is that in order to defeat the Fatal Five in the 31st century, the Legion travels back in time to find the young Superman. However, they go back to a time where Clark Kent has not taken on the Superman mantle yet, and is still learning his powers. He decides to go to the 31st century to help the Legion and become proficient at his powers.

The show somewhat follows the Justice League Unlimited format in that there is a core group of Legionnaires present throught most or all episodes, and a rotating cast of recurring characters that appear from time to time. The regular cast, as seen in promotional material, consists of (alphabetically) Bouncing Boy, Brainiac 5, Lightning Lad, Phantom Girl, Saturn Girl, Superman, and Timber Wolf. Other Legionnaires seen and/or mentioned include Colossal Boy, Cosmic Boy, Shrinking Violet, and Triplicate Girl. Many others are seen or mentioned by their Mission Monitor Board symbols in the opening credits or shown as computer screen images. For a full list of members, see the List of members/LSH cartoon.

This series is not in the same continuity as the Legion episodes in the Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League Unlimited, which took place in the "DC Animated Universe" or "Timmverse".
