The '''Legion of Doom''' is a group of <!--Do not add "fictional" as it is tautological; supervillains (and characters in general) are by definition implied to be fictionalized to some extent.-->[[supervillain]]s who originated in ''[[Challenge of the Superfriends]]'', an [[animated series]] from [[Hanna-Barbera]] based on [[DC Comics]]' [[Justice League]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://screenrant.com/legion-doom-comic-book-history/|title=The Legion of Doom's Comic Book History|date=2017-01-25|work=Screen Rant|access-date=2017-12-23|language=en-US|archive-date=2017-12-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171223220511/https://screenrant.com/legion-doom-comic-book-history/|url-status=live}}</ref> The Legion of Doom has since been incorporated into the main [[DC Universe]], appearing in comics, as well as further animated and live-action adaptations, and also video games.

==History==
In each episode of ''Challenge of the Superfriends'' that they appeared, the Legion of Doom would enact a plot against the [[Super Friends]] and a plot to take over the world only to be met with defeat by the end of the story. In some episodes, they would escape capture through a last-minute escape plan often contrived by Luthor. Other times, the Legion of Doom (or portions of it) would end up apprehended.

The episode "History of Doom" showed that Lex Luthor assembled 13 supervillains in order to form the most powerful and sinister group the world had ever seen.

==Development==
When the ''Challenge of the Superfriends'' season was originally conceived, it was named ''Battle of the Superheroes'' and featured the introduction of [[Shazam (DC Comics)|Captain Marvel]] to the Super Friends. The group that challenged the heroes was to be called the "League of Evil", led by Captain Marvel's nemesis [[Doctor Sivana]]. However, [[Filmation]] was producing ''[[Shazam! (TV series)|Shazam!]]'' and ''[[The New Adventures of Batman]]'' which prevented the use of characters such as [[Mister Atom]], [[King Kull (DC Comics)|King Kull]], Beautia Sivana, [[Joker (character)|Joker]], [[Penguin (character)|Penguin]], [[Mr. Freeze]], and [[Catwoman]]. Early conceptual art drawn by [[Alex Toth]] also included [[Heat Wave (character)|Heat Wave]], [[Poison Ivy (character)|Poison Ivy]], and [[Abra Kadabra (character)|Abra Kadabra]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://noblemania.blogspot.com/2011/07/super-70s-and-80s-super-friendsdarrell.html |title=Super '70s and '80s: "Super Friends" – Darrell McNeil, animator |author=Nobleman, Marc Tyler |date=29 July 2011 |publisher=Noblemania |access-date=25 October 2011 |archive-date=3 December 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111203082310/http://noblemania.blogspot.com/2011/07/super-70s-and-80s-super-friendsdarrell.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

==The Hall of Doom==
The Legion of Doom's headquarters was the Hall of Doom which was located in [[Slaughter Swamp]] (just outside [[Gotham City]]). The facility, which resembles Black Manta's helmet, could be lowered or raised above the swamp water's surface. It could fly or enter space using rockets. The Hall of Doom's mobility could be controlled through remote control helping the Legion to escape on several occasions. Its defenses included laser weapons and the ability to time travel.

In "Doomsday" after [[Sinestro]], [[Black Manta]] and [[Cheetah (character)|Cheetah]] are abandoned by the rest of the Legion after they take control of a mental device, they use it to create another Hall of Doom, which attacks the original one and enables the Legion to be captured.

In "History of Doom", the Hall is shown being constructed in a barn just after the Legion formed. Black Manta proposes that they have it in the ocean, Captain Cold proposes to have it underneath the polar ice caps, and Gorilla Grodd proposes that they have it in the jungle. As a compromise, Lex Luthor decides to have it within the waters of Slaughter Swamp as it is flown to that location.

==Members==
There were thirteen members of the Legion of Doom:

* Despite the opening sequence for ''Challenge of the Superfriends'' claiming that the Legion's members had "''banded together from remote galaxies''", ten out of the thirteen are native to Earth; only Brainiac (from Colu), Bizarro (from Bizarro World), and Sinestro (from Korugar) are extraterrestrials.
* The episode "Super Friends: Rest In Peace" makes a reference to a former unseen member of the Legion of Doom, the only time such a reference has been made. This was Doctor Natas, the inventor of the Noxium crystal that had the power to destroy all of the Super Friends like mimicking [[Kryptonite]] for Superman and mimicking a yellow energy for Green Lantern. The Super Friends knew of this crystal and tricked the Legion of Doom into thinking that it had killed all of them using android doubles of the Super Friends while the real ones hid in their space station. They anticipated that the Legion of Doom would throw away the crystal when they no longer needed it. The crystal was retrieved by Apache Chief in a hazmat suit and launched into deep space. It was not explained what happened to Doctor Natas.
* Prior to the first televised appearance of the Legion of Doom, a group called the Super Foes appeared in the first issue of the ''[[Super Friends]]'' comic book (Nov 1976). Its membership featured [[Toyman]], [[Penguin (character)|Penguin]], [[Poison Ivy (character)|Poison Ivy]], [[Cheetah (character)|Cheetah]], Human Flying Fish, and their protégés Toyboy, Chick, Honeysuckle, Kitten and Sardine, respectively, in keeping with the theme of trainees ala [[Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog]].

==Other Legion episodes==
While ''Challenge of the Superfriends'' was the series spotlighting the Legion of Doom, they appear in a few ''Super Friends'' shorts:
* "The Krypton Syndrome": After Superman saves Krypton in the past, he returns to an alternate present. Robin mentions that the Super Friends were defeated by the Legion of Doom.
* "Two Gleeks are Deadlier Than One": Though only Giganta and Gorilla Grodd appear, the Legion of Doom is mentioned where the Super Friends investigate rumors that the Legion of Doom are getting back together. Like in "Super Friends: Rest in Peace", the Super Friends used androids to trick Giganta and Grodd into thinking they were destroyed.
* "The Revenge of Doom" (''[[Super Friends (1980 TV series)|Super Friends]]'' short): All 13 members of the Legion of Doom appear after getting back together, but only Lex Luthor, Sinestro and Solomon Grundy have dialogue. In this appearance, they salvaged the Hall of Doom disguised as construction workers with the cover-up that they were going to turn it into a museum. Batman and Robin came upon the "construction workers" and demanded to see their permit, which they did, having been obtained by the Department of Parks. When there was a mentioning that the Ion Engines were removed by the Super Friends which would've made it the first flying museum, the Dynamic Duo gets suspicious about the construction workers learning about the top secret operation as the lead construction worker claims that the info of that might've been leaked to the news. With the plot exposed, Lex Luthor and the Legion of Doom shed their disguises and capture Batman and Robin. After refurbishing the Hall of Doom and equipping it with new weapons, they have developed a crystallizing ray to immobilize Superman and Wonder Woman. Batman and Robin eventually escape, reverse the effects of the crystallizing ray on Superman and Wonder Woman, and apprehend the Legion of Doom.

Members of the team have solo appearances in later episodes.

Luthor disappears with Darkseid after finding the [[Anti-Life Equation]] while the other survivors are given a "five-minute head start" in return. Of this final appearance, series writer [[Matt Wayne]] stated that he consciously tried to round up as many of the original thirteen Legionnaires as he could, citing the Legion's Wikipedia page as one source.{{efn|{{cquote|One of the nicest bits in "Alive!" was consciously making Luthor's team the villains that the audience had seen most of, more or less, and cared about. Which was good, since we were hopefully making the audience worry about and root for Luthor's group. This also let us come as close as we could to the classic 13 LOD villains. Grodd was now the enemy and was dead; Captain Cold wasn't around; Devil Ray and Grundy were gone and we couldn't use Scarecrow or Riddler, so we were left with: Luthor (who kind of counted as Brainiac), Bizarro, Giganta, Cheetah, Sinestro and Toyman. And no, I couldn't keep all 13 straight two years later without referring to my script and Wikipedia.|15px|15px|Matt Wayne ([http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/jlu/backstage/interviews/wayne01.php dcanimated.com])}}}}
