History

(Legion #1-3) - Umbra and the Legion returned to Earth after a year's absence, finding the planet repaired, R.J. Brande replaced by President McCault, and the Legion replaced by the Oversight Watch. Rebels from Corvan IV attacked the U.P. building and held the delegates hostage, demanding the U.P. aid their troubled planet. The Legion saved the U.P. Mr. Verge sent the Legion to the Science Police Research Facility for a debriefing, but it was a trap and the Legion's ship exploded. Brainiac shielded the team with a forcefield, but they crashed in Metropolis' subsurface levels and were attacked by the Oversight Watch, who were under orders from Verge and President Leland to kill them. After two inconclusive battles, the Legion fled to the Metropolis reactor, where they found many corpses, including that of the real Leland McCauly. Umbra lost her powers, and knew something serious was happening on Talok VII.They were picked up in the Bouncing Boy by Triad. A year ago the Legionnaires that remained on Earth knew the U.P. had been corrupted, so Brande constructed Legion World, a planet hq for the Legion. With the team reunited they'd continue work on the World.
