The Adult Legion is a possible future of the original Legion of Super-Heroes, featuring members of the primary Legion as adults, with members like Cosmic Man, Lightning Man and Saturn Woman.

History

For a long time, the Adult Legion was considered the definitive future for the Legionnaires, and was often used as inspiration for new character developments in the regular team. Many long-standing Legion relationships appeared first in the Adult Legion. However, stories by later writers distanced the team from the Adult Legion, and Legion of Super-Heroes (Volume 2) #300 specifically showed it to be only a possible future. Its final appearance was during the Absolute Power arc of Superman/Batman, where the Adult Legion of Super-Villains kidnapped and brainwashed Superman and Batman in an attempt to have them steer the timeline towards their particular future. They were unsuccessful, and the Adult Legion was completely erased.
