![]() Deciding to improve upon this plan by enlisting more powerful troops, Kang used Immortus's time-manipulating technology to enlist an assortment of warriors from past eras, all dead or believed dead: early Avengers foe Baron Zemo, the legendary monster of Frankenstein, the Ghost of the Flying Dutchman, the android Human Torch, martial artist Midnight and one-time Avengers associate Wonder Man (a foe selected to distress the Avengers in general and the Vision in particular, since the android Vision's artificial mind was based on Wonder Man's brain patterns). Forging an anti-Avengers alliance with Immortus (who imprisoned Rama-Tut), Kang recalled how Immortus had once pitted a group of historical figures against the Avengers (though it had actually been Immortus's shape-shifting Space Phantoms replicating those figures). During his quest for the Celestial Madonna (which turned out to be Avengers associate Mantis), Kang fought his own alternate-timeline counterpart Rama-Tut in a battle that hurled them both to the timeless realm of Limbo ruled by Immortus, yet another alternate-timeline counterpart of Kang (though Kang himself did not know this yet). ![]() The Legion grew out of the ongoing conflict between the time-spanning Kang the Conqueror and his Avengers foes. This emotional impact was a major factor in Kang's decision to create his Legion of the Unliving, and presumably motivated subsequent Legion creators as well. The one common factor seems to be that Legion members have all been believed dead at one time or another, giving them an edge in terms of psychological warfare (the horror of being attacked by dead men walking). There is even some inconsistency regarding whether all the figures represented in the Legion are actually dead - some of the "dead" beings "raised" for the Legion are later revealed to have never truly died at all. ![]() Sometimes they replicate the normal appearance of the deceased other times, they appear as decaying, corpse-like facsimiles of their once-living counterparts. Some of them retain the original personality of the dead warriors, perhaps even some element of free will other Legion members are re-created as soulless killers, or as blindly obedient pawns of their masters, or both. The actual state of the Legion's members is nebulous its ever-shifting roster has included spirits temporarily resurrected from the dead, beings plucked from time periods prior to their deaths, murderous duplicates of the dead, and various combinations of same. The Legion's various organizers - including Kang, Grandmaster, Immortus and the Grim Reaper - usually have some sway over time and space, so the Legion's membership tends to be drawn from a wide array of locations and time periods ranging from the distant past to the far future.
