The Legion of Super-Heroes is a superhero team appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by writer Otto Binder and artist Al Plastino, the Legion is a group of superpowered beings living in the 30th and 31st centuries of the DC Comics Universe. The group was created inspired by Superboy (Clark Kent)'s feats and they aim to keep the universe safe by protecting it from the threats of multiple enemies. They first appeared in Adventure Comics #247 (April 1958). The team is closely associated with the original Superboy (Clark Kent) character and in their first appearances was portrayed as a group of time travelers. Later, the Legion's origin and back story were fleshed out, and the group was given its own monthly comic.
