Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds is a five-issue 2008 limited series produced by DC Comics. The series is a tie-in to Final Crisis. It is scripted by Geoff Johns, and drawn by George Pérez.
The story features Superman and the post-Infinite Crisis version of the Legion of Super-Heroes, uniting them with the team's 1994 and 2004 counterparts to battle the Time Trapper and a new incarnation of the Legion of Super-Villains (led by Superboy-Prime).
This series is the finale of DC's three year reinvention of the Legion, coming after the "Lightning Saga" story arc from the Justice League of America and Justice Society of America series, and the "Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes" story arc from Action Comics.
The term "Legion of 3 Worlds" was previously used by Superman during "The Lightning Saga" story arc. Superman used the term to describe "one of the Legion's greatest adventures." He stated that the full story of this event went undocumented because none of the Legionnaires remembered exactly what had occurred. Brainiac 5 later mentions that the adventure involved the Tornado Twins. The Legionnaire Star Boy (then a present-day member of the Justice Society of America under the name Starman) alludes to this encounter, saying that he met "another Thom and another Thom", and briefly mentions the Post-Zero Hour speedster XS, stating that she harbored a crush on Superman.
