These pages are for information on the version(s) of the Legion of Super-Heroes prior to 1994's Zero Hour mini-series.
I started reading the Legion at Volume 3 #37 (the death of Superboy), but was really hooked by LSH v.4 #1-61. I really enjoyed the intricate plots, gritty art, mix of adult themes and innocent teen heroism, and the characters (when they were recognizable).
I have recently added some articles to the "Glorithverse" section of the Legion of Super-Heroes Wiki. These articles draw from some of the information on this page.

Elseworlds, Hypertime, and other Timelines
With the invention of "Hypertime," DC Comics now has a way to explain away every continuity retcon or imaginary story. In short, everything happened -- somewhere. Here's some postings around the time of Zero Hour as we tried to come to grips with a new timeline:
What if the DC 30th century characters lived in the 20th century?
Preboot Roll Call
The Legion had, well, a legion of members over the years leading up to Zero Hour. A few dedicated fans still have pages proving information about these now-gone character incarnations.
Kent Shakespeare, the original Impulse
Princess Projectra/Sensor Girl/Queen Projectra
Legion of Sim-Heroes
Back in 2000, I was addicted to the Maxis game The Sims. I made a few Skins so I could make some Legion characters interact. So far, I've only done skins for the founding members of the LSH and Kent Shakespeare.
