Continuing the series where we spotlight the features that appeared at the beginning of each issue of the mini-series Who's Who in the Legion of Super-Heroes (1988). This time out the series featured planets in the Legion Universe.
Who Joined When? (Part Two)
By Emsley Wyatt
Continuing our review of the original Legion of Super-Heroes and the order of the induction of their members. Previously I profiled the sixteen members who joined before the Legion got their own series in Adventure Comics. Now they had an ongoing series of their own. So from here on out, it's all pretty straightforward. No more guessing games, no more interpreting panels, or reading tea leaves. You see a new Legionnaire and you know it.

Who joined when?
When the Legion of Super-Heroes first appeared in Adventure Comics #247 (April 1958) it was as a group without a history. They were just sort of there.
The story was intended as a one-and-done, as most comic stories were in those days. But it didn't stay that way. Readers wanted more and what readers want, they usually get. More and more Legion stories were written and more and more members were created. Then, readers started to demand a history for the group. What was their origin? When did the various members join? This two-part post will attempt to answer that question!
