Devised by Brainiac 5 and presumably based on the experimental Serum XY-4 (Adventure 300), the anti-lead serum protects Daxamites from lead poisoning and allows them to use their powers under a red sun. The raw materials are so scarce that only one dose can be produced every 48 hours. Curiously, Mon-El takes his serum every 8 hours; logically, he should run out after the first dose. This discrepancy remains unexplained.
One of the rare ingredients of the anti-lead serum is kryptonite.

The venerable Mark 03 Cruiser served the Legion from Adventure 309 to Adventure 349. Models existed in a variety of colors, including red, orange, green, blue, red/yellow, red/white, and pink/white/blue. Minor design changes were evident from issue to issue. First Appearance:
Adventure 309 |
The baroque Mark 04 was only used in Adventure 328 and Adventure 329. The three-ship fleet consisted of three colors: red, blue, and green. The Mark 04 's performance must have been disappointing, because after using it for only a short time, the Legion went back to the Mark 03. First Appearance:

Beginning in Adventure 350, the Legion finally found a serviceable replacement for its aging fleet of Mark 03s. The Mark 06, obviously based on its predecessor, served the Legion well until Adventure 365. At least six Mark 06s were seen in service: 3 red, 2 yellow, and 1 blue. Others may have been in action behind the scenes. First Appearance:

The Mark 07 Cruiser, the fastest and most powerful ship in the galaxy, debuted in Adventure 367. A fleet of at least 4 Mark 07s was a gift to the Legion from the United Planets members.

With the advent of the Mark 10 cruiser, the Legion finally had a state-of-the-art fleet that was a worthy successor to the Mark 03/Mark 06 design. Fully equipped, spacious, and striking in design, the Mark 10 served the Legion from Superboy 184 thru LSH (v. 2) 285. It was replaced by the Mark 494. First Appearance:
Superboy 184 |
The Mark 11 cruiser replaced the Mark 494 in LSH (v. 2) 303. More compact and more heavily-shielded than the Mark 10 or Mark 494, the Mark 11's modular design facilitates mass production, allowing for easy repair and replacement of damaged vessels. As hard as the Legion is on its cruisers, this is a definite bonus! First Appearance:
Legion of Super-Heroes 303 |
The versatile and speedy Mark 494 debuted in Legion of Super-Heroes 288 (6/1982), replacing the venerable Mark 10. First Appearance:
