Legion of the unliving members free#
The Avengers travelled to Limbo to free their team-mate from Immortus where they faced Immortus' own Legion of the Unliving which consisted of the former Black Knight, Grim Reaper, Iron Man 2020, Left-Winger and Right-Winger, Oort the Living Comet, Swordsman and Toro. The next iteration of the team was assembled by Immortus who was holding the Scarlet Witch captive in hopes of making her his wife and Queen. Hawkeye eventually managed to defeat Grandmaster in a contest of his own making and those fallen Avengers and Silver Surfer were returned to life. The killed heroes inducted included Black Knight, Captain Marvel, Doctor Druid, Hank Pym, Iron Man, Mockingbird, She-Hulk, Silver Surfer, Thor and Wasp. Grandmaster's Legion included Baron Blood, the original Black Knight, Bucky, Captain Marvel, Death Adder, Dracula, Drax the Destroyer, the Green Goblin, Hyperion, Nighthawk, Michael Korvac, Red Guardian, Skurge the Executioner, Swordsman, Terrax the Tamer.Īll but Captain America and Hawkeye died during the Grandmaster's tournament and the deceased were subsequently added to his Legion of the Unliving. Initially set against each other, in a later round the Grandmaster pitted the heroes against his own Legion of the Unliving. The Grandmaster forced the heroes to play in one of his contests in order to save the universe. Several years later the Avengers and the Silver Surfer were abducted by Grandmaster who had captured Death and created five life bombs that were capable of destroying the universe. It was also due to Kang's usage of the original Human Torch that the Vision learnt of their connection. Kang trapped the Avengers inside a castle laced with concrete labyrinths and send his six slaves of death to eliminate them.Īs the Avengers fought against different members of Kang's Legion, Kang's plans fell apart when both the Human Torch and Wonder Man instead switched sides and fought against Kang alongside the Avengers.
When Kang sought to marry the Celestial Madonna, the Avengers swore to protect her so Kang assembled the first Legion of the Unliving to destroy the Avengers on his behalf.
One of the recurring ironies is the fact that very few members of all different line-ups have remained dead, many being revealed to actually have been alive, bringing their association with the team into question. Of the various teams, Swordsman holds the record as most frequent member of the Legion having served in three different incarnations of the Legion of the Unliving. Following Kang's Legion of the Unliving, a second team was assembled by the Grandmaster, a third by Immortus and a fourth and fifth by Grim Reaper. The Legion of Unliving have reappeared several teams usually led by a different villain and often featuring a different roster entirely. The Legion of the Unliving was created by Steve Englehart, Sal Buscema and Joe Staton in 1974 and first appeared in The Avengers #131. Choosing to rely on those from the past who had since died to serve him in his quest to capture the Celestial Madonna, Kang's recruits included Baron Zemo, Frankenstein's Monster, the Ghost, the original Human Torch, Midnight Sun and Wonder Man. As Osborn was later revealed to be alive, his inclusion in the group has been retroactively replaced with Barton Hamilton.The first Legion of the Unliving was brought forth by Kang who used a machine created by Immortus Originally, the first Green Goblin, Norman Osborn was a member of the second iteration of the Legion of the Unliving.Another character, Arno Stark - the Iron Man of 2020, had not even been born yet. Some members of the Legion of the Unliving are mis-placed as they may include characters who may have been considered dead during the time of publication, but were later revealed to actually be alive such was the case with Bucky Barnes.Later members included the Swordsman, Captain marvel, Count Nefaria, Dracula, Drax the Destroyer, & Red Guardian, and many others.
The original team line-up consisted of Wonder Woman (Simon Williams), the Human Torch (Jim Hammond), Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo), the Ghost (Joost van Straaten), Midnight, and the Frankenstein Monster. To date, there have been at least five different versions of the Legion of the Unliving.
The time-manipulating conqueror known as Kang, and his chronal counterpart, Immortus, picked various deceased beings from the timestream and unified them to combat the Avengers. The Legion of the Unliving is a group that consists of deceased characters who have been resurrected.
