The Crisis ruined it all for the Legion. Writers after writer tried to fix the problem, but only made things worse. (Things like pocket universes and whatever 5 Years Later was.) In the end, it was decided that there was no fixing the problem and the series got a total reboot. I am sure DC learned their lesson after that...

Upon reaching their destination, Imra, the telepath, senses that something is amiss.

R.J. Brande decides to repay the teens for saving him by having them form a superhero team. A legion of superheroes, if you will.

I agree. The classic Legion had been bent into unrecognizability by Five Years Later and everything that came after. Characters murdered, aged, deaged, retconned. The Moon and Earth destroyed. An entire second team of temporal duplicates/clones/whatever running around. The Legion many people had grown up with was effectively dead.

This reboot was necessary ... and -fun- for a while. Of course, nothing good lasts forever...
