Post-Infinite Crisis (2007–present)

The aftermath of the Infinite Crisis mini-series has introduced a close analogue of the pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths Legion to continuity. Consequently, virtually all of the original post-Crisis continuity and retcons that followed the events of Legion of Super-Heroes (vol. 3) #16-18 and LSH Annual #1 have been discarded.

This version of the Legion first appears in "The Lightning Saga" storyarc in Justice League of America and Justice Society of America (June-August 2007), and in the "Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes" storyarc in Action Comics (Late December 2007-May 2008). The membership of this version of the Legion includes most of the members of the original pre-Crisis team and several new members. The members listed below include current members who have notable changes to their history, and new members who never joined the original team.
