The DC Legends Powerchrome set was DC's first "chromium" card set, using metallic-looking foil rather than cardboard. Each card had an image of the character on the front and a computer-morphed version of the character's face on the back, along with some text. The card text was written by Barbara Kesel and Karl Kesel, and the card design was by the Arnie Sawyer Studios. There were several subsets, including Hall of Heroes, Solo Quest, Overdrive, and Terror Instinct. The Legionnaires were part of the Universal Forces subset, while the L.E.G.I.O.N. was part of the Solo Quest subset.
