History

The SW6 Legionnaires were duplicates of the Legion of Super Heroes that were created by the Time Trapper as an attempt to save the Legion from the effects of Zero Hour. They were taken from the period just before Ferro Lad's death, at a time when Chuck Taine had lost his powers and was not a member of the Legion.

Due a time distortion caused by the effects of Zero Hour, the SW6 version of Ferro Lad (called Ferro) disappeared and was replaced by an SW6 version of Bouncing Boy. SW6 versions of Dream Girl and Star Boy also appeared at this time. They didn't exist for very long unfortunately, because Zero Hour wiped the 30^th century in which they existed out of existence.

In order to make sure the Legion would be part of the new timeline that would emerge after Zero Hour, the Time Trapper (who was revealed to actually be Rokk Krinn, the former Cosmic Boy) had the SW6 Legionnaires merge with the older Legion. Shortly before merging with the older Chuck Taine, young Chuck expressed his wish that he had existed long enough to get together with fellow Legionnaire Luornu Durgo like the his older counterpart had.
