^ Haha. Goes to show how lucky the guess was. I'm picturing Mnemonic Kid as being a green guy with a helmet and a sort of circular emblem or something on his chest? That must have been someone else. I'll find out who all these characters are when I do my big Legion re-read one day.

^ Hmmm that wasn't actually who I was thinking of but I can't deny that the Dominators fit the question as neatly as my answer does, so I'll give the next one to you CMK.
The race I really had in mind were the Gil'Dishpan, who were indirectly responsible for Celsius' death when she was caught in the blast of their attempting-to-escape ship. (Also in Invasion!)
The moral of this story - Doom Patrol members should stay far away from the 31st century!

I suppose you could say that. But when I say slave, I mean it in the true sense of slavery - a sentient being (not a robot) who legally has no personhood but instead is the absolute property of another.

Was that in the pre-Flashpoint Legion Annual # 1? I'd totally forgotten about that. Was she a slave? If so, I guess I have to give it to you, though that's not who I was thinking of.
I don't believe that Egyptian soldiers were generally slaves.

Egyptian slavery was quite complecated, and intertwined, more akin to what we would consider basic debt/obligation than stereotypical slavery. Egyptian slavery was generally temporary, cut a ross class and professional lines, and one could even be a slave while having slaves of ones own.
That said, my guess was a shot in the dark, and no worries if it is not what you had in mind.

Well, I'll throw out a hint - the slave in question was actually serving and being abused by his/her/its owner at the time that he/she/it became empowered as the villain.
