Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds
Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds is a five-issue 2008 limited series produced by DC Comics. The series is a tie-in to Final Crisis. It is scripted by Geoff Johns, and drawn by George Pérez.
The story features Superman and the post-Infinite Crisis version of the Legion of Super-Heroes, uniting them with the team's 1994 and 2004 counterparts to battle the Time Trapper and a new incarnation of the Legion of Super-Villains (led by Superboy-Prime).
This series is the finale of DC's three year reinvention of the Legion, coming after the "Lightning Saga" story arc from the Justice League of America and Justice Society of America series, and the "Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes" story arc from Action Comics.
The term "Legion of 3 Worlds" was previously used by Superman during "The Lightning Saga" story arc, describing "one of the Legion's greatest adventures". He stated that the full story of this event went undocumented because none of the Legionnaires remembered exactly what had occurred. Brainiac 5 later mentions that the adventure involved the Tornado Twins. The Legionnaire Star Boy (Thom Kallor, then a present-day member of the Justice Society of America under the name Starman) alludes to this encounter, saying that he met "another Thom and another Thom", and briefly mentions the post-Zero Hour speedster XS, stating that she harbored a crush on Superman.
Geoff Johns revealed in an interview that XS would be appearing in Legion of 3 Worlds and made it clear that this series, and The Flash: Rebirth mini-series, which he wrote with Ethan Van Sciver on art duties, would pick up threads left hanging in "The Lightning Saga": "Obviously, one of the big things in 'Lightning Saga' that we still haven't addressed is the lightning rod and what that's all about. That will be a central focus of the series".
In Action Comics #864, Batman references the appearances of the different Legions in the present (the original version, 1994 version, and 2004 version), and believes that the future is always changing.
The Time Trapper, after several unsuccessful attempts to remove Superman from history, retrieves a time-lost Superboy-Prime and sends him to 31st-century Smallville. Superboy-Prime is enraged to learn of his minimal impact on history, while Superman remains a highly influential figure 1000 years later. Breaking virtually all of the Legion of Super-Heroes' enemies out of the space prison Takron-Galtos, Superboy-Prime leads them as a new version of the Legion of Super-Villains in a bid to destroy everything that Superman inspired, including the Legion and the United Planets. The villains travel to Zerox to recruit Mordru before continuing to Earth, killing Rond Vidar (former Legionnaire and the last Green Lantern) in the process. Meanwhile, the Time Trapper observes the assassination of Legion financier R. J. Brande.
The Legion of Super-Heroes, who are at half-strength and devastated by Brande's death, learn of the destruction of Takron-Galtos, so they summon Superman to their time for help. While Superman leads the Legion into battle against the villains, Brainiac 5 (who was forewarned of Superboy-Prime's invasion by one of Dream Girl's premonitions) sets in motion a master contingency plan against Superboy-Prime that involves recruiting three of Prime's biggest foes.
