The "Lightning Saga" crossover in "Justice League of America" (vol. 2) #8–10 and "Justice Society of America" (vol. 3) #5–6 featured the return of the original versions of Star Boy (now called Starman), Dream Girl, Wildfire, Karate Kid, Timber Wolf, Sensor Girl, Dawnstar, and Brainiac 5. Though several differences between the original and "Lightning Saga" Legions exist, Geoff Johns stated that this incarnation of the Legion shares the same history as the original Legion up to the events of "Crisis on Infinite Earths", with Clark Kent having joined the team as the teenage Superboy prior to the start of his career as Superman.
