[edit] Season Eight

The Legion appear
Founding Legion members Rokk Krinn, Garth Ranzz and Imra Ardeen traveled through time back to the 21st century to stop the Persuader from killing Superman, aka Clark Kent. They found him to be at Clark's barn where he had just returned from seeing Jimmy off to Star City. After he had cut open his abdomen, Rokk took away his Atomic Axe using his ability of magnetism control and Imra distracted him using telepathy enough so that Garth could knock him out using his electricity before Rokk took away his stolen Legion ring sending him back to the 31st century.
The Legion knock Brainiac offline
Rokk, Garth and Imra then introduced themselves to Clark as the Legion of Super-Heroes. The three explained to Clark what he is truly destined to be which is a model for all the galaxy for aliens to come to earth and live among humans. They realised that they had landed on the day Brainiac emerged in a human host and realized that they and Kal-El had to defeat Brainiac to kill the host after the Phantom Zone crystal (Red crystal) was destroyed.
The Legion extract Brainiac
They began tracking down Brainiac whilst at the same time pondering the 21st century commenting on the state of the planet and how it was being polluted. Garth then began to question Kal-El stating that they may have the wrong person as he was nothing like they had heard about in the future however Rokk still believed in Kal-El.
Brainiac 5
They tracked Brainiac at the Daily Planet where he had just began to upload all of the human knowledge leaving the entire planet stood still before using an electro magnetic pulse to temporarily short circuited him. They plan to kill Brainiac by killing the host body, Chloe, before Kal-El stopped them and they took Brainiac back to the barn where they managed to extract him from Chloe with Imra connecting to Chloe telepathically, Rokk using his magnetic powers to extract Brainiac's microscopic parts while Garth used his powers to short-circuit him.

After defeating Brainiac by extracting it from Chloe, they intended on making a better use of it, in the form of Brainiac 5. They later returned to their own time, after Rokk warned Clark about being careful in the days ahead.

[edit] Technology

Coming from the 31st century, technology is far more advanced than it is in the 21st century and so the Legion are able to time travel using Legion rings. A person can wear the ring and transport themselves anywhere in time and space as shown when the Persuader stole a Legion ring and went back in time to kill Kal-El so that he wouldn't be able to stop Brainiac from taking all knowledge off of earth before Doomsday destroyed it.

[edit] In the Comics

The Legion of Superheroes as they appear in the current comics.
The Legion's stories are set primarily in the 30th and 31st centuries (1000 years from the present), but have recurring connections via time travel with the present. Initially, the team was closely associated with the original Superboy and was first portrayed as a group of time travelers who frequently visited (or were visited by) the young hero destined to become Superman.

In later years the Legion's origin and back story were fleshed out, and the group replaced Superboy as the focus of their stories; eventually Superboy was removed altogether. The Legion has remained a somewhat popular DC franchise throughout its publishing history, appearing in regular features during most of this time. The founding members of the Legion were Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy.In other media The Legion of Superheroes appear on Superman Animated Series in the episode New Kids in the Town, Justice League Unlimited in the episode Far from Home and had the Legion of Superheroes animated series that lasted for 2 seasons. In all New Kids in the Town, the smallville legion episode and the Legion of Superheroes animated series, Saturn Girl is the onlyone who appeared in the past and met Clark.
