Alchemist

Born into the pages of Legionnaires #16 in 1994, Alchemist is a DC creation of the Modern Age, stepping onto the scene courtesy of Mark Waid and Chris Gardner. Though their catalog footprint is modest at nine appearances, those issues place them in genuinely storied company — sharing adventures with Legion luminaries like Saturn Girl, Dream Girl, Star Boy, Matter-Eater Lad, and Salu Digby across the beloved Legion of Super-Heroes corner of the DC universe. With a presence stretching from 1994 all the way to 2025, Alchemist is a quietly persistent figure in DC's far-future mythology, and their appearance in DC Finest: Zero Hour ties them to one of the most consequential events in Legion history — making them a worthwhile discovery for any deep-cut Legion enthusiast.
