Legion Of Super-Heroes Vs JSA

vs

Which versions, what lineups?

That Legion pic has Supergirl, so that implies that you've got pre-crisis Legion with pre-crisis kryptonians there.

Let's say Giffen's era of LOSH vs Geoff Johns era of JSA.

The original JSA had Power Girl, Alan Scott, and The Spectre. ....

Spectre alone tips it toward JSA, too much for the Legion.

No Spectre. Just use the pic, which is John's JSA.

is that black adam in the back of the JSA pic behind hourman and mr.terrific? ...god why cant they just be listed, totally makes it complicated =/

Not sure how the LoSH would defend against Thunderbolt, Alan, Fate, and Marvel..?

John's JSA had multiple different team compositions depending on when you're talking about. Significantly different ones.

The same way everyone else does: CIS.

Besides, Johns established 5d imps can be contained, considering he had both Superboy Prime with help from an alternate universe Zatanna pwn Mxy, and had Qwsp imprisoned by another magic user..

Most Legion incarnations have characters that should be capable of similar feats.

LOS should win for one reason:

They have the benefit of knowing JSA's history. They probably know all about the 5d imp being their trump, and know what Alan Scott is capable of and his weaknesses, and just about every exploitable weakness..

Such an advantage was on display in Chain Lightning. And while they don't have similar prep here, they won't need it.. All they need is Brainiac 5 coordinating everything.

Okay fine, with Cap Marvel, ALan Scott and Powergirl, the JSA wipes the floor with the Legion...

Not even considering Jay Garrick and the others here, I just focused on those three.....it's not even fair, ya know.

Uh, LOSH have Mon-El (who moved stars), Supergirl (who can stalemate Powergirl, White Witch, Karate Kid (who can at least stalemate mid heralds, Brainiac 5, Wildfire, etc... It's a good matchup, IMO.

Uh, this is pre-crisis Supergirl during Giffen's run. She can do more than stalemate PG.

I'd say the Legion wins quite solidly.

By throwing a whole lot of people with powers against them.

Wildfire's not far from pre-crisis Kryptonian level with no weakness for magic.

Jakeem's not hard to remove from the picture.

The pre-Crisis Kryptonians can quickly take out everyone who's not magic.

Numbers are plenty to do the rest.

Fate could BFR pretty much everyone you listed (pre-crisis or not.)

Supergirl hung out with the LOSH Post-Crisis for a while
