The Lethal Legion is a group of criminals originally collected by the criminal scientist Dr. Elias Starr as muscle against the adventurers Ant-Man and Wasp. Starr's first recruit was his daughter Ava, also known as the Ghost, followed by Porcupine, Asp, and the Living Laser.
Starr's team fought Ant-Man, Wasp, and their ally Giant-Man on a number of occasions, often with neither side achieving a full victory. Eventually Starr was arrested, and the team disbanded.
A second Lethal Legion was formed soon after by the mysterious criminal known as the Crimson Cowl. In addition to several of the original members, the Cowl also recruited the mutant telepath Mentallo, technical wizard Techno, and the criminal Vibro. This incarnation of the Legion was not intended for anything other than regular criminal gains, hiring themselves out as criminal mercenaries. On two separate occasions the Legion clashed with Ant-Man and Wasp; during the second encounter, they also clashed with Iron Fist, his allies Misty Knight and Colleen Wing, Iron Fist's half-sister Death-Sting, and his occasional ally/often enemy Steel Serpent.
The second incarnation of the Lethal Legion later clashed with the Avengers, whose membership included Ant-Man and Wasp. Although most of the Legion was arrested on this last occasion, the Crimson Cowl escaped custody and has begun springing her team from prison.
Where the Lethal Legion will appear next remains to be seen.
