July 28, 2006: All About Superman on “Legion of Super Heroes” Cartoon

During a panel at the recent San Diego Comic Con, "Legion of Super Heroes" cartoon story editor Rob Hoegee revealed that the how and why of young Superman finding his way to the future to join the LSH would be dealt with early in the show's first season. Here are some quotes from Rob during the Comic Con panel...

"The Legion of Super-Heroes are a relatively new organization and they get in a little over their heads with an organization that calls themselves the Fatal Five. They decide they need some help in a big way, so Brainiac-5 decides, 'Hey, let's just go back in time and get the greatest super-hero ever.' Only they don't end up in Metropolis Justice League-era. They get there a little too soon and find Clark Kent, who is certainly aware of his power but now quite yet of his grand destiny."

"So, after convincing him, 'Pop in the time bubble and we'll bring you back in the past at the exact same moment you left,' he decides, 'Yeah, I think I will go. I think there's something else in this life for me and I want to find out about it.' And he goes to the future."

"It's a nice little synergy between this up-and-coming hero, who's certainly going to leave his mark on the universe, and a group of ideological kids who essentially have looked up to this person all of their lives."

"Legion of Super Heroes" will debut on September 23rd on Cartoon Network.
