The Legion of Darkness was a team of some of the greatest villains in the galaxy. They were formed by Black Phantom.

History

Seven villains, Black Phantom, Thornraxx, Speeda Demon, Jawblade, Splitface, Voltix, and Toxic Reapa, are looked at as the top criminals, thieves, and smugglers of the galaxy during the Hero Factory's early days, more than a hundred years ago,[Hero Factory website Media Center in 2010-2011]. and they had competition with each other, so they somewhat disliked each other and did not get along, though they did work together to do some crimes. After the Hero Factory arrested Voltix and Toxic Reapa and then had became a major presence in the galaxy. Black Phantom planned to form the Legion of Darkness with the other six villains. He visited Thornraxx, Speeda Demon, Jawblade, and Splitface at a robot repair shop frequented by criminals, where he informed them about his plan to take down the newly-formed Hero Factory, which was endangering the criminal activities of the villains across the galaxy. Black Phantom convinced them to join the Legion of Darkness with him. Interested, the four villains joined his ranks. Black Phantom planned an attack upon one of hover transport ships that carried twenty-four recently created XT4 industrial robots from a Makuro Industries plant. After Thornraxx took control of the cargo ship and landed behind a hill, Black Phantom stole the industrial robots, and then had Splitface and Speeda Demon smash the ship to make it look like it crashed. Black Phantom reporgrammed all but one of the robots to wander around the area without any purpose, while the last was reprogrammed to work as Black Phantom's assistant, going under the name XT4.

XT4 was used to infiltrate Hero Factory and steal its data, and also to break Voltix and Toxic Reapa out of prison on Asteroid J-54. Splitface and Speeda Demon hijacked an old ore freighter and piloted it to the Asteroid. After the Alpha 1 Team arrived in pursuit of XT4, XT4 saved Voltix and Toxic Reapa and initiated a mass prison break. As Von Ness let them escape because he was outnumbered, Splitface and Speeda Demon, felt that Black Phantom's plan was too slow, rigged the freighter's engines to explode, intenting to destroy Preston Stormer and Jimi Stringer in their Drop Ship, which Black Phantom did not plan. The two villains used the freighter's transmat beam to teleport in Black Phantom's scout ship. Black Phantom scolded them for using the freighter to try to destroy the Heroes rather than using it to help XT4 if he needed it. Black Phantom then tried to make Stormer and Stringer hit the freighter to destroy them. The Legion escaped, and Stormer and Stringer were nearly killed. The Hero Factory was disturbed by the incidents, and Akiyama Makuro made the decision to close Hero Factory.

Black Phantom convinced the villains they would take Hero Factory as their own base of operations, but secretly wanted to use the elite criminals as tools and them captured, leaving him the sole destroyer of Hero Factory without any more competition, though he would keep XT4, and he would plan to form a new Legion. The villains assaulted the Factory, with Jawblade taking down the external power, and XT4 and Splitface going to the power core of the Factory. Speeda Demon piloted his scout ship with Voltix, Toxic Reapa, and Thornraxx to the Assembly Tower. Toxic Reapa got so annoyed with Thornraxx that he ejected him from the scout ship, hurting Thornraxx so much that he went unconscious. There, the other three villains fought Alpha 1 leader Thresher. Splitface and XT4 dueled Stormer while Black Phantom used his scout ship to fight him. Thresher was defeated and captured. Stormer trapped XT4 and defeated Splitface. He was going to rescue Thresher, but Black Phantom was about to defeat Stormer. Black Phantom told Stormer abput his plan with the villains. However, when the rest of Alpha 1 arrived, Von Ness defeated XT4. Black Phantom's treachery was exposed by Stormer, angering the remaining Legion members and causing them to attack and defeat Black Phantom. The Alpha 1 Team defeated the remaining members of the Legion. All of the members were arrested and imprisoned in Asteroid J-54. The villains disbanded.[SM2]

All of the members except the Black Phantom and Voltix were imprisoned in the Hero Factory's Villain Storage while the two other villains were on the loose. When Black Phantom and Voltix caused the Breakout, all of the imprisoned members and Voltix escaped from the prison.[Episode 8] The Alpha 1 Team recaptured the villains and defeated and arrested the Black Phantom.[Episode 9][SM3][SM4][SM5][FO:MSG]

Alternate Universes

Reality 11275.6

Black Phantom received schematics of Hero Factory from a traitorous Hero, Von Ness, during the Hero Factory's early days. He formed the Legion of Darkness, though he did not recruit XT4. Black Phantom and the Legion destroyed the Factory. Von Ness rebuilt himself to Von Nebula, and started the Citadel crime syndicate, who ruled much of the galaxy. The Legion became part of the inner circle along with XT4 and Core Hunter. Black Phantom served as a second-in-command for Von Nebula, as he gave jobs to Von Nebula's fellow inner circle members.

Recently, after the main reality Alpha Team arrived in the alternate universe, they encountered the Legion of Darkness and XT4. The Brains killed the Legion and XT4 when they were invading and defeating the Citadel.[SM5]
