Fictional history
Pre-Crisis
In their first appearance, the Wanderers were introduced as a team of adventurers that had existed for several years before the Legion of Super-Heroes were formed. [2] The team's symbol was a mandala which Celebrand wore across his neck. The Wanderers were:
- Celebrand – The leader and the group's strategist.
- Psyche – A "psychic vampire" who can manipulate and feed on emotions.
- Quantum Queen – Can manipulate and transform into quantum energy.
- Elvo – A master swordsman who wields an energy sword.
- Dartalg – An expert with blowguns and darts. Has several types of darts for use, such as exploding darts.
- Ornitho – A winged humanoid who can transform into birds.
- Immorto – An expert marksman with a healing factor that renders him immortal.
After meeting the Legion, the Wanderers are exposed to radiation from the Nefar Nebula which temporarily turns them evil. The Legionnaires become allies of the group after returning them to normal. [2]
The Wanderers then reappeared as guests at Duo Damsel and Bouncing Boy's wedding, [3] and also reappeared during the Legion's battle with Darkseid. [4]
In June 1988, the Wanderers appeared in a self-titled series written by Doug Moench, which ran for thirteen issues. Original artist Steve Dillon redesigned the characters, but was replaced by Dave Hoover and Robert Campanella, who redesigned them again. [5] In this series, all the Wanderers were killed then recreated by Clonus, their Controller mentor, with upgraded powers and drastically different bodies.
- Dartalon (formerly Dartalg) gains quills across his body that can be fired as projectiles.
- Elvar (formerly Elvo) gains an energy sword that can trigger emotions in others.
- Re-Animage (formerly Immorto) can heal and resurrect others.
- Aviax (formerly Ornitho), Psyche, and Quantum Queen retain their original powers.
The new Wanderers later solve the murder of their original selves and become agents of the United Planets. [6] [7]
2004 Legion
In the "Threeboot", the Wanderers are a black ops superhero team created by the United Planets to battle the Dominators. All of the Wanderers except Lightning Lord (Mekt Ranzz) are killed fighting the Dominators. Mekt then recruits heroes such as Polar Boy, Inferno, White Witch, Nemesis Kid, and Plant Lad and recreated the team. [8] The Wanderers join forces with the Legion to stop a Dominator invasion of the United Planets. [9] After helping the Legion defeat the Dominators, the Wanderers are offered Legion membership by Supergirl, but flee when Mekt is arrested for mind-controlling the population of his home planet Winath. [10] [11] Other members of the team included a figure resembling Legion of Super-Villains member Tyr and the team's coordinator Tarik. [12]
