Legion Log
Double-Header appeared at an open call for Legion Applicants, but was summarily rejected when his two heads argued with himself over who was smarter.

Double-Header re-appeared several years later as a member of the Legion of Substitute Heroes Auxiliary, which consisted of heroes who were not quite ready to join the Legion of Substitute Heroes. Together with the Subs, Double-Header helped Superman face a time-displaced Ambush Bug.

Double-Header's background origin as related in this Who's Who entry was never shown in an actual story.

Double-Header appears in neither the Reboot nor the Threeboot.

After Infinite Crisis, Double-Header's original history has presumably been more or less restored.

Double-Header had two non-speaking cameos in the Legion of Super-Heroes animated series, one in "Lightning Storm" and the other in "The Substitutes". He also appeared at the Legion try-outs in the comic book tie-in series.
