If there is one thing that has stood the test of time with Legion, it's the flight rin, one of the most recognizable elements that makes it's way into random comics and TV appearances. It's first appearance was Adventure #329 in 1965. I often have a problem how being the times the Legion in in it's depictions of future tech. This one holds up.

Defensive powers - a summation
I think most of my blog posts about Legionnaires are starting to wind down but this topic seems to be what it all boils down to.
Now, let me classify what I consider defensive powers: those powers and abilities that do not cause a direct change against an opponent or their environment. Most of the Legionnaires can be categorized in one of these two groups however, if Projectra was able to use her powers to actually upset someone's sense of balance, she could actually branch over into an offensive power. But for the most part, those with defensive powers have to rely on evasion in some form or another. How many times has Dawnstar had to get cruisers to chase her in order to get them to crash?
