Press Release
Kids WB! brings you a new series inspired by the DC Comics legend Superman. In LEGION OF SUPER HEROES, a team of superheroes from the 31st century head back in time to enlist Superman's help in battling their nemeses, the Fatal Five. But when they arrive in the Man of Steel's hometown, Smallville, they discover that they've miscalculated a bit. Instead of a powerful, confident Superman, they find the introverted, insecure young adult Clark Kent, whose abilities need fine-tuning. The legion itself is a group of well-meaning, undisciplined and unpredictable, super powered young adults who just happen to be the Universe's only hope. The Legionnaires are still light-years away from becoming the seasoned (and cynical) pros of the Justice League. [1]
DVD Case Text
He's almost the Man of Steel!
One thousand years in the future, the universe's greatest heroes can project lightning bolts, read minds, and build any kind of gadget imaginable. Yet their only hope for survival is a young man from SMALLVILLE who doesn't have a clue about his destiny to become a hero.
Join the action from the beginning when Legionnaires BOUNCING BOY, BRAINIAC 5, SATURN GIRL, and LIGHTNING LAD travel back in time to convince an awkward teen named CLARK KENT to join their LEGION OF SUPER HEROES and battle their archnemeses the FATAL FIVE. As more adventures unfold, the Legion encounters an evil mad scientist, a spoiled teen celebrity, and a powerful phantom with powers identical to those of SUPERMAN.
