The Uncanny Amazers : The Uncanny Amazers are a team of super-heroes from the planet Xanthu. They guard the planet that is on the edge of the United Planets territory. They are revered on Xanthu and helped defend the planet from an attack by Algamenon Raiders once (Legends of the Legion # 4), but they are not well known off of Xanthu. Star Boy was the leader of the Amazers before he got into a space- cruiser accident and was drafted into the Legion of Super-Heroes. Other heroes on the team include Lonna Leing, a. k. a. Insect Queen, who can take on the properties and bodily aspects of any insect, Randall Burroughs a. k. a. Atom'x, who can fire energy blasts, the large, strong, green Monstress, Konk, whose head moves independantly and telekinetically of her body, Atmos, the reigning champion of Xanthu who can fire energy-blasts and who took over team leadership from Star Boy, and Kid Quantum, the sister of the deceased Legionnaire of the same name who later joined the Legion herself. When Star Boy made it big as a Legionnaire, the Xanthusian government sought to make him rejoin the Amazers for the prestige this would bring the team, and, barring that, to have the Legion fight the Amazers, a fight which Kid Quantum would secretly rig for the Amazers. After the fight began, though, a diplomat let slip that the original Kid Quantum had actually brought disgrace to the planet and the team, and she refused to help support her government's lies. The Amazers lost the match, and Star Boy was allowed to stay on Earth with the Legion (Legion of Super-Heroes (3rd series) # 82).
     The Amazers were asked to lend a hand in the battle against Mordru, and responded by sending Monstress, Kid Quantum, and Atom'x, who, feeling a rivalry with Workforce member Radion, attacked Mordru outside of the group plan, an attack that ended in his discorporation (Legionnaires # 49). (It was believed for a while that he was dead, but after the Elementals' assault on JS-1967, it was discovered that his life-energy had survived, merged with that of Workforce member Blast-Off. This merged energy-being later became known as Wildfire (Legionnaires # 74, 76).) In the assault on Mordru that followed Atom'x's death, Kid Quantum proved essential to the heroes' plan, and her powers helped considerably in wearing Mordru down (Legionnaires # 50).
     Star Boy remains close friends with the Amazers who were his teammates, and he was conversing with Insect Queen when the Natra Dellons invaded Xanthu (Legion of Super-Heroes (3rd series) # 101). He and Monstress rushed to Xanthu and tried to help the other Amazers fight the invading force, but the Natra Dellons were ultimately vanquished by the Khunds, who have since gained much influence on Xanthu, arousing the suspicion of some of the Amazers that they had arranged for the invasion in the first place (Legion of Super-Heroes (3rd series) # 102-103, Legionnaires # 59-60).
     Some time after that, former Workforce members Radion and Particon joined the Amazers. The team was dispatched to fight the so-called "Dark Colossus," but all of them other than Atmos became trapped inside, and Atmos remained traumatized by his experiences inside it. The dark colossus was eventually destroyed by Star Boy, Umbra and two Starman who had traveled in time from the twentieth century (Starman (2nd series) # 49-50).
     The Amazers visited Earth to convince Star Boy, Kid Quantum and Monstress to rejoin the team (Legionnaires # 78) the day that the Blight came, and were "Blighted" along with most Legionnaires (Legion of Super-Heroes (3rd series) # 122-123). After the Blight was defeated and they recovered, they returned to Xanthu, with Dreamer and Star Boy, who rejoined the team (Legionnaires # 81).
