Legion of Monsters

Legion of Monsters is the name of different superhero teams in Marvel Comics.

Legion of Monsters (1976)
The first version of the Legion of Monsters were united by chance to investigate the appearance of a strange being called the Starseed. Although the being was benevolent, Morbius, the Living Vampire and Werewolf by Night were overcome by their hungers and attacked it. Ghost Rider intervened as the Starseed was unable to overcome the fears of Man-Thing and was burned by it. The dying Starseed attempted to cure the Legion of their monstrous forms, but was too weak and died minutes later. Tired of fighting and disappointed in their actions the team split up, although they barely ever acknowledged being a team in the first place.

Legion of Monsters (2010)
A new version of the Legion of Monsters was formed by Morbius the Living Vampire, Werewolf by Night, and Man-Thing; they are joined by N'Kantu, the Living Mummy and Manphibian. They came together to protect monsters from the Hunter of Monster Special Forces and send the monsters into the Morlock Tunnels to the Monster Metropolis. They first appeared when the Moloids that work for Man-Thing find the decapitated parts of Punisher (who was sliced up by Wolverine's son Daken) and reassembled him as the FrankenCastle. Punisher joins up with the Legion of Monsters to help protect the Monster Metropolis from the Hunter of Monster Special Forces where FrankenCastle fights the Hunter of Monster Special Forces' leader Robert Hellsgaard.

Werewolf by Night and N'Kantu the Living Mummy are shown fighting Dimensional Man. Elsa Bloodstone teleported to Monster Metropolis with a dead monster that was corrupted with evil energies.

The Legion of Monsters later help Red Hulk overcome the panicked monsters at the time when Red Hulk had journeyed to the Monster Metropolis. With the help of Doctor Strange, Red Hulk and the Legion of Monsters discover that the spirit that has been bothering Red Hulk is the insane evil side of Doc Samson (referred to as Dark Samson) which hasn't passed into the next life. Using a ghost entrapment device, Red Hulk and the Legion of Monsters were able destroy the Dark Samson spirit by ripping the Dark Samson spirit in half. Red Hulk and the Legion of Monsters did a toast to honor Doc Samson after that.
