Legion of superheroes: Karate Kid Part 1

[purpledinosaur4000]

does grimbor remind anyone else of bane?

[ShinobiPXO]

Nemisis kids power is just plain weak i mean he can turn off superpowers. Does mean any powers? Where was he when they had to fight imperix or brainiac? Huh? Thats jus dumb even for a cartoon. In the comics his powers are better. He can change his powers to adapt to any kind of opponent for a brief time

[BlackMaskStudios]

Calamity King = Jinx minus the style...and the competency...

[duodbzsonic]

Looks like bats taught superman a feu life lessons

[palpatine17]

Holy shit, it's Grimbor the Chainsman!!! Gotta love Chameleon Boy too...

[Parkjisung91]

well that's fucked

u need a super power to join the legion?

justice league proves they r better than this boy scout group b/c jl even appreciates those without super-powers as long as they r willing to do good deeds.

[CJFRANKS7]

@Parkjisung91 Well this is the Legion of SUPERHEROES... lol

[Leafeatinggirl]

Wow adding Nemesis Kid to the team has to be the stupidest idea they've ever had, I mean he's probably a mole/traitor and since his power is to neutralize superpowers... He'll have at least like 95% of the Legion down and a sure-proof win.

[CraZgirla1]

A net?! A net stopped cosmic boy?! That's it, he's official my least favorite hero of all time

[onewholikescheese8p]

HOLY FUCK WALDO IS TIMBER WOLF

[DuskfallBand]

this is gay go watch some my little pony friendship is magic

[Braly5]

IT'S A TRAP!!!

[BM12163]

@JayarStiffler Or maybe Nemesis Kid grows up to be Nemesis in Justice League Unlimited?? O.o

[ss6truks]

Lol whys everyone raggin on karate kid about no powers? Picked up a history book and read about batman lately?

[JayarStiffler]

i think nemesis kid is the son of nemesis in Justice League Unlimited?

[skate4life7583]

thantks for this its so cool

[AnnMarieRogue]

@theirishtraitor

LOL that's alright, that's the problem when you see the words, don't hear the tone involved :)

[AnnMarieRogue]

@theirishtraitor

I didn't mean it like I meant that I meant the the 80's Karate Kid franchise violated DC copyrights, not the other way around.

[AnnMarieRogue]

@theirishtraitor

I can only say one thing...

COPYRIGHT!!!!

LOL

[halfaheartbongobongo]

ITS A TRAP

[hbkman31]

0:25 OMG it's a slightly gay Lobo!

[SeP9506]

@12fuzzyrats His arm got amputated when Imperiax used his cannon. Imperiax wanted to kill Lightning Lad but his arm got caught in the way as he was fighting with Mekt.

[12fuzzyrats]

what happened to lightning lad's arm? i skipped to season two. lol

[doggypower1]

were the episode when super man returns from skinny to bigger

[KittyCattya]

So let's see. A new superhero joins the legion who would be the best enemy against all of them, as he can neutralize their powers. And on that same day another kid joins, who just so happens to be the only one who might be able to defeat him.

Gee, do you notice something?

[ragnoraak]

S&M Man....cool!!!

[mariozelda100]

it's looks like lighting lad had the new arm on again?

[paulziiee]

lightning lads face haha you'd think auditions were life or death

[9000tales]

at 0:37 as one wise man once said ITS A TRAP!!!

[dizzin0nz]

what...they couldnt come up with a better stereotype??? 

[Supercucu123]

ITS A TRAP!

[ProtodroneAce78]

The Future Bain? or Bayne what ever the spelling

[TheGanstaben]

karate kid is like a younger jackie chan

[cooldude56g]

I think I already know where this is going /:l Nemisis Kid is gana turn bad and all the legion's powers will be useless. Then Karate Kid swoops in and beats him since he doesn't have any powers. If I'm right, I apologize for the spoiler.

[BensonChu24]

@cooldude56g not nemesis kid. It's grimbor, since he crafted a weapon capable of neutralizing superpowers.

[paulziiee]

@cooldude56g eh wrong!

[werdna2590]

is karate kid alway some bad stereotyped character

[BertP3]

cool

[jonoave]

Hey, Calamity Kid seems quite ok! Bad luck is powerful! Look at Scarlet Witch! :P

[htgnef]

@jonoave Or Jinx in Teen Titans. Then again, it might be more efficient for them to get him hired by the Fatal Five or the Legion of Supervillians.

[HackneyMcWebfoot]

The animation looks terrible, like it was done by Filmation in the 1980s. And the Legion comes across as incredibly inefficient in the opening scene.

Hopefully someone will make a better Legion show in a few years.

[Ozukisempai]

@Meda01: the green kid is Brainac 5/Brainy, hero descendant of the evil android/Coluan Brainaic. "Think of me as the black sheep of my family"- Brainy to Supergirl, JLU. He's the smart, sometimes snarky kid of the Legion. XD

[Kyofan23]

@Ozukisempai Where'd you see him saying that to Supergirl? I'm not up to speed on JLU stuff.

[Ozukisempai]

@Kyofan23 Brainy said that to Supergirl in the JLU episode "Far from Home", where she gets a more "tradtional" costume and joins the Legion (and a romantic relationship between Brainiac 5 and Supergirl is started.) The Legion that is shown in this episode is similar to the comics.

[VyOblivious]

@Ozukisempai Pretty sure they meant Chameleon Kid. The Green Lantern Corps did include a bunch of different races with orangey skin (ie: Tomar-Re/-Tu), and Cam and the Lanterns' outfits do seem similar at first glance, being green/black. :3 Sorry for the nerdiness!

[Meda01]

I keep thinking that young transforming green kid is a Green Lantern.

[Markel1970A]

When I saw this one I went "He calls himself Nemesis Kid and you let him into the team?"

[Markel1970A]

I got to give this toon props. When I hear about Kal-El I thought "Great, they're going to name him Superboy."

[Markel1970A]

Grimbor looks just like Bane.

[tripelon]

ITS A TRAP!!!!

By the way, in the minute 7 i figured out the rest of the episode >.< .

spoiler: as the karate kid might have no powers, the semi ginger guy will become bad and the karate kid will be the only hope hurraayyyy

[tripelon]

ITS A TRAP!!!!

[Gambitgirl1974]

Grimbor totally looks like Bane from Batman

[kjsmooth34]

Are you being serious... a net stoped cosmic boy.... he sucks

[JessFromMead]

0:18 BREACH AND CLEAR

[sonicdihedgehog1]

the villian is an almalgam of bane and mysterio

[spaceninja57]

Ackbar: See it was a trap!

[Chimera1591]

Superman likes this kid because he reminds him of his baby bro, Batman. Those two will never admit it, but they love each other.

Superman is like an older brother to both Batman and the Flash.

[tommmullen]

then what makes cosmic boy so qualified for the job? dick

[TheDeathnotestudios]

this is not karate

kid bitch

[TheWorstWarlock]

@TheDeathnotestudios What the hell are you talking about? This Karate Kid, The REAL Karate Kid, was around nearly twenty years before Danielle waxed Miyagi's dick on and off.

[ss6truks]

so the argument has been settled, bruce lee would kick supermans ass xD

[michael626stitch]

Calamedy King could've joined the Legion Of Superheroes

[IAmTheClayman]

Dear god Nemesis Kid looks evil.  Hell, he even has "Nemesis" in his name.

[101388ejd]

@IAmTheClayman In the comics Nemesis Kid was a bad guy

[Filby]

Wax on... wax off.

[boniloppy]

Poor Cham. he did things riht, he just get a little confused.

Hahahahaha Lighning Lad´s worst fear. Legion auditions. He says "No, please, no. Anything but ..." Poor Cham. I like him very much and Cosmic boy isnt fair. I HATE HIM. I will kick your little ass with all that stupid rules to a dark hole.

[jmc123]

Tony Jaa beats super man haha i love it

[Ikazumi1]

This sucks!

[BlakOpzDragon]

Nemesis Kid looks like Kick Ass

[AnnMarieRogue]

@BlakOpzDragon

Without the mask :)

[callmetoro]

i know everyone else has probably noticed this but "karte" kid looks alot like tony jaa lol

[gsus7125]

I hate how no Superhero shows come on in America any more. The government doesn't allow Superhero shows any more because they give people the idea to overthrow oppressive governments. Welcome to Fascist Dictatorship of America.

[Chimera1591]

@gsus7125, What? Oh lord, no one in America has the right to tell someone that they can't do something that's a guaranteed right under the constitution. That is a crime and even the Government, nay, the president, is susceptible to jail time for that.

Stay off the Glen Beck show, kid.

Plus, Superheroes don't fight the government, they aid them.

[bananarepublic954]

lmao!! @ the use of the legion auditions!! always a bunch of lame powered wannabes!!!!

[MirageWind]

Yes, we know it's a trap duh! (rolls eyes)"Do you always take things that aren't yours?" Good line! (no seriously)

Cosmic Boy...it was a NET. OMG, someone shoot this guy, I HATE him with an undying burning passion!

I don;t blame Cham for chasing 'Grimbor'. he could have thought he was going after something else. And why are you glaring, Superman? You're suppose to be supportive!

And how was that related to leadership at all! I mean hello, you gave him an order!

--Poor Garth...slushies...

[loshloverraven]

cosmic dick boy DOES get what he deserves!! Also...karate kid has barely any powers and Cham does!!!! Stupid desion cosmic dick.....

[hetepatat]

The kid never even asked to join. He's probably too afraid of what Superman'll do to him if he refuses.

[stormshado9]

funny how Imperiax resemble Darkseid

[ecomomicX]

there two superman

[deadman00]

i wish the second season was on DVD

[DarthFastidious]

Cosmic Boy's persistent dickishness in this series reminds me of an interview with the writers of the comics in the '90s (the "Reboot" Legion) where they said about him after being asked why they didn't use him heavily: "I mean, just look at him. If you saw someone dressed like that walking down the street, with those stupid silver circles, wouldn't you just want to punch him in the face?"

[darthkarr]

ok..if a guy with powers that take others powers away...how come the science police or legion jsut use him all teh fucking time...seriously...make some plot that make fucking sense dc!

[ArticBreakup]

he wouldn't do it. He thinks that heros are heros and therefore wouldn't help the science police kill them.

[101388ejd]

3:48-3:58 Funniest 10 seconds in this episode or the whole show. I'm not sure

[greenguy111]

Karate kid is actually really old.

and is pretty cool

[Swordruler1990]

the hat that Cham wears reminds me of Indiana Jones

[DSkehan2004]

Karate Kid? That's too old to stay in the character. very 90's

[darknina13]

actually 60s...well at least DC's Karate Kid : )

[Valizan]

Uhm... You gotta wonder what is going through the heads of the artists when Grimbor looks like an S&M Dungeonmaster. :)

[ninjamonkeys9192]

OMg i remember watching this on Kids WB so many good memories

[deraickripper]

is that sarcasm right?

[Schwertgott]

"It's a trap!"

Great job Einstein...

[firestorm2000]

" we'll need lvl 9 security on this delivery" lvl 9 security sucks!!! lol

[geonova690]

does anyone find any similarities between imperious rex n darkside,,,, i may have mispld,,,,,, do u think he may be a family relation aftr alll v already found lex luthors descendant alexis the bald rich girl

[TJCID22]

@firestorm2000 If that's level 9 security then what's level 2? A little kid with a yo-yo?

[Mysticgamer]

@TJCID22 I think Ness from Earthbound would have been way more helpful than the guys that got netted first.

[JimmyColls]

@firestorm2000 'Amazon offers lvl 9 security on all deliveries, but only at a $5 additional cost'

[BaxterXenon]

@firestorm2000 I hate to see what a level 1 security is...

[natrie123]

grimbor is future bane

[userman21350]

1:23 to 1:26 if that exit was Grimbor's only way out then there was no point in Cosmic Boy chasing after him. Cos and Cham could have worked together to ambush Grimbor.

[geonova690]

they cant just wait around for him to do n steal who knows wat in there ,, cosmic oy wanted to keep him on the run

[TheDeathnotestudios]

@userman21350 yeh

[Mysticgamer]

@userman21350 Why is Cosmic Douche considered leader again?

[EZmoney3000]

so villains in the 30th century use chains as weapons...wow lol

[zamm0rock]

wat episode is wen the legion rejected esper lass

[benfrenzy]

she never tried to join. she started as a member of the light speed vanguard (a.k.a. legion of superheroes)

[userman21350]

You mean Legion of Supervillians.

[benfrenzy]

yes, i meant the legion of supervillians.

[Sweetlysmooth]

they all look older in this ep

[EZmoney3000]

its season 2 thats why they look older

[Sweetlysmooth]

i know, but- itsso sudden.

[EZmoney3000]

im pretty sure in the first episode they said something about its been 2 years since what happened in season one...so yeah

[kakashisonlyangel]

omg all the guys that were fighting superman must been all like, " holy crap! i could've been in the legion if i took him out!"

[CUEDIZZLE82]

cosmic boy is ah ass hole and i dont like him not one bit nope jus dont like him lol

[JohnnyHalox]

Val Armoor kicks ass

[yellowmattereyecusta]

Why did they make Karate Kid a terrible asian sterotype?

[ReverendSyn]

Same reason they made Starboy a black guy and Brainy a homosexual.

Im dissapointed they had to make up Superman-X instead of using Mon-El.

[yellowmattereyecusta]

Well, the new Starboy in the comics is black. Didn't know Brainy was gay.

[ReverendSyn]

Watch the first season. Brainy is so gay for Superman it's not funny.

[CUEDIZZLE82]

i thought i was the only one that saw this crazy man crush when i start watchin this show is isnt funnie its scary lol.

[CUEDIZZLE82]

he has the biggest gayest man crush on supes it's like why did they do that are they trying to turn out the younger generation.

[simonheros]

love this ep

[hsiengin92]

Cosmic Boy, You suck !!

You think you are the best but actually the worst.. You can even fall for a net trap,

[supermedafighter]

wow cosmic boy is getting annoying! he seems like he is up his arse! if anyone isnt fit for the mission its him i mean he got caught by a net!

[ReverendSyn]

Coz has traditionally been a stiff in the comics. But never to the extent he's being shown here. He's downright ASSHOLISH here.

And yes, you are correct about him not having any room to criticize. He got pwned by a NET. Had Cham been in his place he could have instantly shapeshifted his way out of it.

Lightning Lad makes for a leader one can more easily identify with and feel for. Even Saturn Girl is more approachable.

But yes, Coz is a real dick.

[JDBW]

Is this karate kid meets bruce lee?

[XxkloudxX354]

uuuuuh disqualified for leaving the ring?

[WhereforeArt]

"Do you always take things that aren't yours?" I know you're not Spiderman, Supes, but come on, you can do better than that...

[Sakuya29]

Ugly design of karate kid :(

[Atya]

Cosmic boy has been caught by a plan net?

How original and how stupid...

[anzack33]

I like how superman owns that one guy in the fight, and then he trys to recruit karate kid, But WTF!!! y is cosmic boy in charge instead of superman? Superman would be a way better leader. Cosmic boy, more like cosmic pusssy, hes a fucking dick!!!!!!!!!!

[6XoX9]

ya. and i love how close to heart the whole marshal arts superhero without superpowers is to superman. like he obviously has a soft spot for karate kid because of his respect for batman.

[Spinnaz]

does karate kid remind anyone else of Tony Jaa? lol.

[blonde0drama0queen]

thanks :D

[blonde0drama0queen]

is saturn girl dead? is she coming back this season???

[Krypton853]

No she is still in the hospital.

[Schwertgott]

I like Auditions, you can see all kinds of powers there.

[AngusPondKirk6675475]

Cosmic boy is a freakin loserpants

[kampftomate]

i totally have to agree.and his suit looks gay.

chamelion boy rocks XD

[12bEcKaBoObOo12]

loserpants????? LMAO!

[Zolatos]

Im really annoyed that they cancelled this series they always cancel the good ones

[xalwynx]

yah i really wonder why they always do that?

[kampftomate]

i heard this one was canceled because kids wb,who produced it,isn't there anymore

[maccactm]

Which is better?

Classic Superman or Future Superman

I think Future one myself

hes cool!!

[jinzo1598]

I think Classic Superman

[ghholmess]

omg r u kidding me.... Karate Kid? wtf

[bazzjedimaster]

read the comic book

[Filby]

The comic Karate Kid actually came before the movie of the same name. The filmmakers had to pay DC Comics to use the name. ;)

[bluecatcinema]

I recognise Sun Boy, Night Girl, and Polar Boy in the try-out queue; Any there I have haven't noticed?

[Dannyfaye]

why is cam wearing a disguise when he could just transform into sum1?

[12bEcKaBoObOo12]

Good question. Maybe that was too obvious.

[zamm0rock]

yeh... lool!

[BrytaPlanka]

WTF!!!! Superman is an idiot!

[dOMITUPSYK]

One thing to say:

I... HATE... NEMESIS KID!!!oneone!!forty1

>_> Go die in the corner!

Nemesis Kid: Ouch.

*Gets thumbs down for ramndomness*

[fortunethief]

Thankx for the upload. Any chance you upload season 1.

[DSkehan501902513]

I hope you don't suspended.

[DSkehan501902513]

Karate Kid! That's so wrong.

[userman21350]

Superman to Grimbor at 1:05-1:08 "Do you always take things that aren't yours?" Yes Superman that's why he's a thief.

[userman21350]

Superman to Grimbor at 1:05-1:08 "Do you always take things that aren't yours?" Yes Superman that's why he's a thief.

[Maddela15]

Legion Auditions. How come Lighting Lad hated them so much?

[AmayaTetsuki]

Because those who audition often suck so badly. XD

*DIIIIIED at his expression* XDD <3

[flattenu]

They changed Nemesis Kid's power though.

His original ability was that he could defeat any ONE opponent in combat, whether it was superboy, or Bouncing Boy. The only Leginnaire he could not defeat was Duo Damsel.

He soon betrayed the Legion.

[xaanterra]

Yeah..I kinda doubt he's going to be sticking around very long, and maybe his betrayal will be part of the season finale. Maybe he + evil Brainy will betray the Legion.

[Majesticon]

I thought his power was to duplicate other super powers? that's what'the current Legion story line in Action Comics reveals any way

[flattenu]

Nice to see familiar faces among the applicants! Night Girl, Fire Lad, Polar Boy and Calamity King!

[Lacey1D]

okay but when it does, post it please!

[Lacey1D]

It's cool, please post In The beginning soon! saturn Girl's in it!

[TimberwolfsLilsis]

I love this episode. It's one of my faves.

[Tztaha]

i love it to its my fave
