History

The Legion of Monsters were united by chance to investigate the appearance of a strange being called the Starseed. Though Starseed was a benevolent entity, both the Werewolf and Morbius, overcome by their monstrous hungers attacked it, Ghost Rider and Man-Thing attempted to intervene, but Starseed was unable to overcome his fear of Man-Thing and suffered severe burns at Man-Thing's touch.

The dying Starseed attempted to cure the Legion of their monstrous forms but was too weak and died a few minutes later.

Tired of fighting and disappointed in their actions the team split up. Though they hardly ever acknowledged their self as a team in the first place. The Legion of Monsters are now back together minus Ghost Rider. This incarnation includes Morbius, Werewolf, Man-Thing, and new members Living Mummy and Manphibian.

They then vow to protect monsters that are hunted down to be killed. One of their missions included saving remaining monsters from the Hunter of Monster Special Force.

They send the monsters into the Morlock Tunnels and start a Monster Metropolis where the monsters can live in peace. Recently they saved the Punisher after he was killed by Daken and brought him back to life as FrankenCastle.

He has since been returned to his normal form and left the team.
