A couple of weeks ago premiered "DC's Legends of Tomorrow", another superheroes show, yep. It is kind of like a spin off from the "The Flash" and "Arrow", and it so good! I mean, Rory Williams being a time traveller?!?! That's gold for a fangirl like myself! I'll explain this later on another post.
Quoting imdb, "Legends of Tomorrow" focuses on time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter, who has to recruit a rag-tag team of heroes and villains to help prevent an apocalypse that could impact not only Earth, but all of time.
Because all characters except Rip Hunter are from "The Flash" and "Arrow", you may be a bit lost if you haven't watched them. But don't worry! I am here to help you with a little guide of each character. I am gonna try not to spoil too much, but with some characters there has to be spoilers.
- Ray Palmer (The Atom)
Ray is a character from "Arrow". He is a scientist who, after the murder of her fiancé, decides to build a super suit to fight crime. While working on his suit to make it shrink, it explodes and so does part of the building where he was. Everybody thinks he is dead, but the thruth is that his experiment worked and now he can shrink. That's the reason why nobody could find him, he was really small. After team Arrow discovers that he is alive, he helps them fight HIVE by using his new ability.
- Sara Lance (White Canary)
Sara is another character from "Arrow". She was on the same boat as Oliver Queen when he disappeared. Everybody thought she was dead, but just as Ray, she wasn't! She was rescued by The League of Assassins, and they trained her to be a killer. After leaving them, she goes back to her home, Starling City, to fight crime with the Arrow as Black Canary. After a while she leaves the city, and her sister Laurel takes her place. Then Sara comes back again, and she is murdered. But, because almost nobody in this show stays dead, she is resurrected, becoming now the White Canary.
- Jefferson Jackson and Professor Martin Stein (Firestorm)
These two come from "The Flash". Stein was affected by the explosion of the particle acelerator that gave Flash his powers. In his case, he merged with someone else, Ronnie Raymond, and they became Firestorm. At the end of season 1, Ronnie dies after saving Central City, but Stein still is alive. He stays with team Flash, helping them fight metahumans, but they soon discover that he can't live without someone else to merge with. After searching for a match, they found Jefferson, an ex-football player who had to quit his career after the explosion.
- Carter Hall and Kendra Saunders (Hawkman and Hawkgirl)
They also come from "The Flash", and they are the reincarnation of a prince and a priestess from the ancient Egypt. They were killed by the bad guy on "Legends of Tomorrow", Vandal Savage. They have reincarnated through history, finding each other and falling in love. They are meant to be. But, on each reincarnation, Savage finds them and kills them. Again. Everytime he succeeds, he kind of absorves their lives. That allowes him to stay inmortal.
- Leonard Snart and Mick Rory (Captain Cold and Heat Wave)
They are the "villians" of the team, and they were the bad guys on "The Flash", though we have seen that, at least Snart, has a heart. They have two guns (one that freezes anything and is the only one that can stop Flash, and one that burns), and they basically do robberies.
I would talk about Rip Hunter, but he explains his story on the first episode, so it's a bit pointless.
Now that you know a bit more about each member of the team, you can watch the show!
I will do another post at the end of the week talking about my thoughts on the story, my favourite characters, and my fangirl stuff. Like who is the Rory Williams I talked about at the beginning, for example.
See you then!
