Legion of Superheroes Trivia

When the CW Network began promoting the Legion of Super Heroes they referred to the young Clark Kent as "Superboy". The courts had ruled shortly before that time that Superboy was a seperate character from Superman and was owned by creator Jerry Siegel's family so they dropped all references to Superboy. After that they simply called him the "Young Superman".

When the young Clark Kent returned to the 21st Century in season two, his main antagonist was the evil "Brainiac".

The majority of the Legionaires also had their appearance or characteristics modified in season two. For example, Lightning Lad got longer hair and a robotic arm and Triplicate Girl lost one of her personalities and became Duo Damsel.
