The Legion Academy is a training school for members of the Legion of Super-Heroes. It was created by Jim Shooter and Curt Swan,[1] and has been re-used and revisited by subsequent creators in the many evolving iterations of the Legion that have been published over the decades.

In more recent stories, the Academy is run by long-term Legionnaires Duplicate Damsel and Bouncing Boy, a couple who take on quasi-parental roles with the students. Also assisting is Night Girl, a former member of the Legion of Substitute Heroes.[2] The most recent cast included a mix of older and new characters, including Power Boy, Gravity Kid, Chemical Kid, Variable Lad, Glorith, and Dragonwing.
