Star Trek/Legion of Super-Heroes coming!

I'm leaning more towards a ST/Micronauts crossover...
Personally, I'd love to have seen a Silver Surfer/Star Trek Voyager crossover.
So, in an early episode of Enterprise, they mentioned the comic book character of Superman. So how can a Starfleet crew meet a team that has a member who they know to be a fictional character (in the Trek reality)? Dimensional wibbly wobbly stuff, I suppose?

Can there be a more lame group of superheroes? I doubt it. They even out lame thew Wonder Twins,
What's lame about them?
Ever seen a Smurf without a hat? There are antennae under there!

I can honestly say I have never heard of any of these characters before.
The Legion were Superboy's childhood friends. Lightning Lad, Cosmic Boy, and Saturn Girl all appeared in an episode of Smallville.
Cyclops only appeared in the TOS/X-Men crossover, which featured the classic '80s team composition, perhaps to parallel the use of "classic" Trek. The TNG/X-Men crossovers used a more current X-Men team.
A lot of Trek characters do basically have superpowers, though -- Spock, Data, Geordi, Deanna, Odo, Kes, Seven, and the like. And what's Q if not a supervillain?
Of course crossover stories like this aren't meant to be actual in-continuity tales. They're what are known in comics parlance as "imaginary stories" -- tales that aren't meant to be "real" within the series continuity but allow the exploration of possibilities that couldn't fit in the series' "reality."
Frankly, I, not John Ordover, should be editing this dream project. Heck, I'd kill to write it. Clearly, Allyn and I knew what would be commercial and fun years ago.
The Legion, introduced as a one-off in 1958, struck such a chord with readers that they made repeated appearances before being given their own feature in Adventure Comics and have been a staple of the DC Universe ever since. They have endured more reboots than just about any other franchise and continue to endure.
Representatives of different worlds in the 31st Century's United Planets, they are teens who fight for truth, justice, and the galactic way. Brainiac 5 is essentially a living version of Data and should play well off Spock, for example.
Chris Roberson, IDW's writer, has done some nice work for DC's Superman title while the Moys were Legion artists back int the 1990s and I know they are huge Trek fans.

Sadly, that is just too awesome to happen.
You could tie it in with The Terratin Incident from TAS!
It's coming out in the fall timothy. I don't think a specific release date has been mentioned yet. I for one am excited. I'm a huge LOSH fan and of course Trek fan. This was one of my favorite announcements from yesterday.
