EQUIPMENT:

FLIGHT RING: Standard Legion Issue. The Legion of Super-Heroes' flight ring was originally designed by the Invisible Kid, he noted the unique anit-gravity properties of Coluan waste materials which he fashioned into the first of the Legion Flight Rings. Since their creation, ring has been refined so as to grant the wearer the following abilities:

• ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - offers protection agains environments that are hostile toward or unable to support sentient life. It protects up to a temperature of around five thousand degrees (a star) or as low as near Absolute Zero (space). It also allows it's wearer to breathe in an airless environment (vacuum, under water) and can filter harmful or alien substances.

• FLIGHT: The primary aspect of the ring is it's ability to grant it's wearer the ability of wingless flight, based upon the natural or enhanced speed of the ring-wearer. The ring creates a personalized anti-gravity field around the wearer which allows self-propulsion through open space (hence, they are able to function in the vacuum of outer space). As a result, faster Legionnaires will be able to fly faster, and those who already are capable of natural flight will find an enhancement to their speed.
• HYPER-SPACE COMMUNICATOR: allowing Legionnaires to communicate across interstellar distances.
• SUB-SPACE TRANSMITTER BEACON: allowing for Legion tracking equipment to track the Ring anywhere in known space.
• UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR: allow two way communication between the Legionnaires and other races, translating the Legion's Interlac into the other race's native tongue and vice-versa. However, languages that do not share the same language 'tree' as Interlac are not able to be translated.

The Rings themselves seem to be self-sustaining, the half-life of the dense Valorum having not yet been determined.

OMNICOM: Standard Legion Issue. The Omnicom is a communication and information-display device originally developed and supplied by Brande Industries. All current Legionnaire Standard Issue Omnicoms are made by Brande Industries. With 5,000 viewing channels, a full audio-visual interface for recording, lockable file storage, environmental scans for safety and life signs, simple genetic scans, the sprocking Encyclopedia Galactica! Plus it's automation tools great for filing paperwork.

RESOURCES:

LoSH MEMBERSHIP: Being a member of the LSH definitely has its benefits. For the duration of a Legionnaires active membership, they are provided a handsome stipend equal to that of an average executive. In addition, they're provided with a private apartment, quarters at the Legion HQ, a food allowance and other reasonable expenses. Full medical care is provided, full access to training facilities and equipment, transportation, all of this compliments of their benefactor, industrialist RJ Brande.

LoSH STIPEND: Every member of the LoSH is, for financial reasons and purposes of benefit distribution, considered to be an employee of Brande Industries and draws a very comfortable salary on which to live on.

TRANSPORTATION:

Legion Crusiers

Transmatter gates

CONTACTS:

LEGIONNAIRES: While not an actual Legionnaire, Tiny is very close to the Legionnaires due to her both her personal and political connections. They are very much like her extended family to her and she knows she can rely on each and every member to pull through just like they can expect her to do the same for them. She even went as far as Deputy Leader for the Legion and so she's put a lot of effort into trying to maintain the team.

RELATIVES:

ENEMIES:

FATAL FIVE: Originally a gang of super-criminals assembled by the Legion of Super-Heroes to help them destroy the Sun-Eater threatening Earth, the Emerald Empress, Mano, The Persuader, and Validus, led by Tharok, subsequently clashed with the Legion many times.

1. EMERALD EMPRESS: Sarya of the planet Venegar (referred to simply as 'the Empress') was recruited to assist the Legion of Super-Heroes when the U.P. was menaced by the Sun-Eater. Once the Sun-Eater was defeated, she joined Tharok, Validus, Mano and the Persuader to form the Fatal Five.
2. MANO: A native of the polluted world Angtu, Mano is a mutant, born with the power to disintegrate anything that he touches with his right hand, with his "anti-matter touch".
3. THAROK: Leader of the Fatal Five, originally he was a small-time crook, whose body was partial disintegrated and replaced with a mechanical half which greatly boosted his intelligence dramatically, but left his evil tendencies unchecked. Tharok's cyborg brain also allowed him to control Validus, the mindless monster member of the Fatal Five.
4. VALIDUS: The near-mindless giant of the Fatal Five, he was named by Tharok after the lightning spirit known in Winathian folklore.
