Legends of Tomorrow’s best historical encounters

Is this your king?

In the same episode with Hedy Lamarr, Helen of Troy was happy to be accidentally time-warped to the 1930’s where kings and princes were not waging war over her. Helen’s beauty brought her instantaneous attention in the movie industry and before she knew it, producers were fighting over her as well. Helen became impressed by the Legend’s warrior women and found a new calling. Instead of the time heroes bringing her back to Troy, they dropped her off on an island of women, Themyscira, marking the first Wonder Woman allusion in the Arrowverse.

Guinevere was another famous female figure of long ago to leave a lasting impression on the Legends. They chased evil Rip Hunter to Medieval England for a piece of the Spear of Destiny. This was during Rip’s mind controlled phase. And who else was being controlled by the Legion of Doom during their trip to Camelot? None other than King Arthur. With her king under the influence, Guinevere stepped up and defended the kingdom from the Legion. Her reward was a kiss from Sara Lance. And by the way, the Merlin in this Camelot was the JSA’s Stargirl and she had a thing for King Arthur. Yeah, this one had a lot going on, even for Legends of Tomorrow.

After the Legends used the Spear of Destiny to change history, one of the first messes they had to clean up was Julius Caesar who they found vacationing in Aruba. They brought him back to the BC, but not before Caesar learned of his assassination and made moves to reform history in his image. The revamped Time Masters, at this point known as the Time Bureau, erased Caesar’s memory in order to put the pieces back in order. After some back and forth muscle flexing between Caesar and Heat Wave, Mick got the last laugh.

When King Louis of France’s wedding night was interrupted, White Canary and the Legends detected the aberration and protected the king and his wife from being assassinated. This whole affair was sexually liberal; first there was the expectation of consummation for the married couple, then the wife admitted to Sara that the king is gay, and finally Sara ended up in bed with the recently married queen. Sara has become pretty popular with the ladies of antiquity.
