![]() This version of the Legion Of Doom apparently ceased to be a problem for a long time, with the egos involved probably leading to their breakup, and the later interest of Apokolips' ruler making their ambitions pointless. The two groups very first encounter was never shown. This timeline perhaps indicates the LoD was a presence all along in SF adventures, but was not seen until "Challenge". The final episode of "Challenge", "History Of Doom", had a group of aliens in a post-apocalyptic future destroyed by a Legion miscalculation view the origins of the Legion, which showed Luthor viewing the formation of the Superfriends and guiding the villains, who feared being picked off one by one, into their own group. This episode also mentions, but never shows, a Doctor Natas, who Luthor describes as a "one-time member" of the LoD, and who invented the lethal crystal the villains thought they killed the heroes with. One exception is at the end of "Superfriends - Rest In Peace" wherein the heroes fake their own deaths and ambush the villains at the end. None of the members of the Legion are ever punished, as they always find a way to escape back to their base. In each episode they develop a somewhat evil plan (being a kid show in its era meant little true super villainy was allowed) and at the end of each episode the Superfriends defeated the plan. They were said to be "gathered together from remote galaxies", but only one or two of them did not have their origins on Earth. However, some of them were rarely used and others were abused in turn.

The original Legion of Doom is lead by Lex Luthor, and is manned by nearly all of the Superfriends' primary villains, such as Gorilla Grodd, Brainiac, Sinestro, Bizarro, Toyman, Riddler, Scarecrow, Cheetah, Black Manta, Solomon Grundy, Captain Cold, and Giganta. The Legion of Doom as seen in Superfriends. He may not be a main-event level villain, but his inclusion in both "Arrow" and most recently the "Gotham" season 3 finale, proves that Grundy isn’t going away anytime soon.Biography Challenge of the Superfriends His ghostly white hair, huge sunken black eyes are things of nightmares, and his journey has spanned several decades. Some are oafish and funny others are brutal and cunning. Since he can’t really “die,” there are many versions of Solomon Grundy, with each version a bit different than his last. ![]() RELATED: The Inimitable Hulk: 15 BLATANT Hulk Rip-Offs He is virtually un-killable, reemerging from the very swamp he was killed in every time he dies, which sets him apart from other DC comics villains. ![]() He has done battle with the Justice League, The Justice Society of America, and has even had some gruesome battles with Batman and Superman. Having most of the characteristics of a zombie, but the strength of 20 normal men, Grundy has made a name for himself as a villain to be feared. ![]() DC must have thought the same thing when they created Solomon Grundy.
