Lightning Lad[1] was a Legionnaire.

History[]

Lightning Lad joined the Legion of Super-Heroes and fought against Dru-Zod's attempt to overthrow the United Planets. He was present when Zod and his followers were sent back to the Phantom Zone. Lor-Zod was not sent back, and was determined to free his parents. Lor-Zod's constant attempts to take the Phantom Zone Projector forced Lightning Lad to destroy it. Lor-Zod then went back in time to kill Superboy, the Legion's inspiration. After Lor-Zod went back in time, the timeline changed such that the Legion never formed.[2]
