The DC Animated Universe
The DC Animated Universe, also known as the "Timmverse" or "DCAU", was the combined universe that consisted of all of the animated series produced or inspired by Bruce Timm, including several series starring Superman, Batman, and/or the Justice League. The Legion appeared in episodes of two DCAU series, once in Superman: The Animated Series and once in Justice League Unlimited, and Legion villain Mordru appeared in one episode of JLU. Because only these two time points were shown of the Legion, it is difficult to figure out much of a chronology of this timeline. However, some time did pass between the first and second Legion episodes, as the Legion was in its upside-down rocket ship clubhouse in the Superman episode, while that clubhouse was old and disused by the time of the JLU episode, and some Legionnaires had changed costumes in the interim.
- The first Legion appearance was in an episode of Superman: The Animated Series titled New Kids in Town, set primarily in the 20th century in the recent past and partly in the 30th century. The featured characters were Chameleon Boy, Cosmic Boy, and Saturn Girl.
- In the first season episode of Justice League Unlimited titled Greatest Story Never Told, Mordru's appearance was set in the present.
- The Legion's second appearance was in the third season episode of JLU titled Far From Home, which begins and ends in the present but spends most of the time in the 30th century. The featured characters were Bouncing Boy, Brainiac 5, and Supergirl.
In both Legion episodes, a number of other Legionnaires had no more than cameos, so their names can only be speculated.
Superman: The Animated Series
New Kids in Town
- Main article: New Kids in Town
Ultra Boy (black stripe costume), Tinya Wazzo (Apparition costume), Nura Nal (Dream Girl/Dreamer), Garth Ranzz (Live Wire costume), Ayla Ranzz (Gossamer), Brainiac 5, Triad, Bouncing Boy, Kid Quantum (James Cullen), Andromeda (Laurel Gand).
Justice League Unlimited
Greatest Story Never Told
- Main article: Greatest Story Never Told
Far from Home
- Main article: Far from Home
Tinya Wazzo (Superboy's Legion look, including black eyes) has two lines (no VA credited).
Also, Saturn Girl (costume as NKiT), Ultra Boy (Silver Age), Blok, Tasmia Mallor (oddly depicted withj a glowing power effect), Wildfire (Cockrum), Garth Ranzz (Cockrum), Chameleon (NKiT), Timber Wolf (Cockrum), Cosmic Boy (NKiT) and Gim Allon (Cockrum) appear in the episode without speaking.
DC Animated Universe comics
The Legion appeared twice in the DCAU-inspired comics, once in Adventures in the DC Universe #10 and once in Justice League Adventures #28. The JLA issue features the DCAU Justice League and four Legionnaires as depicted in the original Superman episode, so they can be considered canonical. In the Adventures in the DC Universe issue, however, the costumes, characters, and situations in that issue more closely followed those of the regular Legion book at the time than the DCAU, so it cannot be said with certainty that that story should be considered canonical DCAU.
Other issues of the various comics series included appearances of Daxamites and Tharrians.
