Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Weapons of the Legion Saga

Hi there Legion fans, for my role playing game, the time has come to write up entries for weapons that we find in the Legion comics. I am talking about all sorts of weapons, be they artillery, spacecraft, pistols, Rifles, knives, odd energy weapons, etc.

What I would like to ask is that everyone pass along weapons they recall seeing in the Legion comics and hopefully a referance as to which comic it would be in. I'll want to include pics of as many as I can, but primarily I'm interested in developing the stats for each weapon. If you have any special opinion on how a weapon works or like to write up a short description of it (as you see the weapon functioning) it will give me insight on how we as readers perceive them.

Thanks Much!

Long Live the Legion!

Hm, there was the Concentrator, which appeared twice. I can't really remember what it did exactly or who was trying to steal it the second time. Only that its second appearance was not in the actual Legion comic, and in the 70's.

As we plow through the Archives, we can mention any weapons we come across here.

The Legion at different times has been shown to have an arsenal of weapons. However, the members have very seldom used any of them.

The bad guys, well, that's another story. Plenty of weapons there. Would you include something like the Emerald Eye as a weapon?

In one story, Karate Kid showed off his collection of hand weapons. There were quite a few, I think, that are recognizable today.



IIRC, the Concentrator could concentrate all the energy in the universe for just a second, but it was enough to destroy some massive suns. I think it was in the first appearance of the Time Trapper.

Does the Miracle Machine count as a weapon? it could literally be used to do anything!

And should we count poisons as weapons too?
