The Legion Of Doom Gets A New Member In LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Season 2, Episode 8 Description
The show has taken its sweet time putting together the Legion of Doom, but in "The Chicago Way", the villainous group finally targets the Legend as a third member is added to the group. Find out who here.
It's about time the Legion of Doom show up in Legends of Tomorrow, and it appears as if we can look forward to that taking place in "The Chicago Way" next month. As you can see below, Eobard and Damien will be recruiting Malcolm Merlyn to the team while enacting a plan to take down the Legends.
The synopsis also makes it clear that Stein is hiding a big secret from the team, though the fact that Rory is going to get an "unexpected visitor" is even more interesting. How much do you want to bet that's a reference to Captain Cold, the villain we know will be the Legion of Doom's fourth member?
LEGION OF DOOM — When a new Time Aberration is discovered by the Legends, they find themselves headed to 1927 Chicago. The Legends quickly realize that they have been set up by Eobard Thawne (guest star Matt Letscher), Damien Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough) and the newest member of the Legion of Doom, Malcolm Merlyn (guest start John Barrowman). While everyone is trying to help fix what they think is the mission, Jax (Franz Drameh) encourages a reluctant Stein (Victor Garber) to share his secret with the other Legends. Stein is taken captive and Sara (Caity Lotz) must make the tough choice of either stopping the Legion of Doom or saving Stein. Meanwhile, Rory (Dominic Purcell) gets an unexpected visitor and is not sure how to handle it. Brandon Routh, Nick Zano and Maisie Richardson-Sellers also star. Ralph Hemecker directed the episode written by Sarah Nicole Jones & Ray Utarnachitt.
