Of course, Loki betrayed them, but is that really his fault? At this stage of the game, if you make a deal with the Norse God of Mischief expecting him to keep his word, that’s on you, not him. Enchantress recruited Executioner, Scarlet Witch, Wonder Man, and Ultron-5 to form the best lineup the crew has ever seen. It helped matters that a few superstar artists who had switched to Image-such as Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld-came back to the House of Ideas for these titles.ĭuring this run, the Lethal Legion finally became a legitimate team. During the polarizing Heroes Reborn event from 1997, the origins for many of Marvel’s mainstays were retold with a ‘90s flair. It may seem like a random title, but this could be the inspiration for an updated Lethal Legion. With the newfound attention thanks to the Wonder Man rumors, it’s no wonder that prices have more than doubled in that span. Before this year’s $1,500 purchase on October 24, it had been two years since one had traded hands online. Not many graded 9.8s are on the market, so there are large gaps between sales. Over the years, there have been a number of different Lethal Legion iterations, but Avengers #78 will clearly be the standout among collectors since it’s their first appearance. They came together to battle the Avengers, and that was about it. The original members included Reaper, Man-Ape/M’Baku, Living Laser, Swordsman, and Power Man Erik Josten (not to be confused with the heroic Luke Cage version). The team was first introduced at the tail end of the SA in 1968. With that in mind, here are some issues that you should add to your Christmas wish lists. Chances are, we’ll see the Lethal Legion in Wonder Man. Whenever a character or other intellectual property is thrust into the comic spotlight (i.e., the Darkhold in recent years), the odds are good that it will preface an MCU appearance. It’s not unlike Marvel to use this strategy.
Considering the original lineup was led by Wonder Man’s brother, Grim Reaper, it stands to reason that the Lethal Legion is on its way to Disney Plus. Suddenly trademarking the name of a second-rate team from the late ‘60s should have your attention.
They will likely get their own team series, which hints that the newest incarnation will be heroes or at least anti-heroes. Since the reported filing seems to focus primarily on printed materials, the simplest assumption is that Marvel is planning to reintroduce them in the comics. According to Bleeding Cool News, Marvel has trademarked the name “Lethal Legion” for “printed comic books printed periodicals in the field of comic book stories and artwork printed posters.” This is a major indicator that the company has plans for the team.
