Legion Academy

The Legion Academy started roughly after the Legion built a large Clubhouse in Adventure Comics #367. The purpose of the Academy was to groom potential members for the Legion of Super-Heroes. In Issues #371-372 we see Colossal Boy retrain in the academy after failing to perform adequately during a mission. At that time Timber Wolf and Chemical King were students at the Academy along with several others. Current members of the Legion served as rotating instructors for the academy.

Several former members of the Academy went onto join the Legion of Super-Heroes including Dawnstar.

Some of the most notable members included:

Laurel Kent -- Believed to be a direct descendant of Superman, she was invulnerable. It was later discovered that she was a Manhunter robot who had been waiting over a thousand years to reveal herself and carry out her mission.

Jed Rikane also called Power Boy. This purple skinned man had super strength.

Crystal Kid -- Bobb Cobb -- Able to form crystal and crystalline structures.

Nightwind -- She has the power to create powerful winds.

Lamprey -- able to swim and breath underwater she also can emit strong electrical discharges.

Shadow Kid -- Grev Mallor, Talok VIII. Shadow Lass’ cousin who first met the Legion in Adventure Comics #344-345 the Super- Stalag of Space. He has the same powers as Shadow Lass. Left the academy to return home as his planet's champion.

Comet Queen -- Powers similar to comet including gaseous discharges and super speed flying.

After retiring from the Legion, Duo Damsel and Bouncing Boy eventually became the lead instructors at the Academy and moved the operation to Montauk Point, Long Island
