Legends of Tomorrow to introduce Justice Society of America in season 2

Ultimately, the team would need to kill Vandal across three different time periods — which they succeeded in doing, but not everyone decided to stick with the team. In the wake of Vandal’s death, Kendra and Carter decided to start their life free from fear. While the Legends lost a part of the team, they gained a new ally. Patrick J. Adams’ mysterious DC Comics character was revealed to be Hourman, who crash-landed in another version of the Waverider. This version of Hourman is Rex Tyler. In the comics, Rex discovered a drug that basically gave him superhuman powers for one hour at a time.

“He’s not just Hourman, he announces himself as a member of the Justice Society of America,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim tells EW. “We’re planting a big flag that season 2 of Legends will not only feature the Legends of Tomorrow, but also the JSA.”

However, Guggenheim is shy to say which members of the JSA will be joining him next season, especially when it comes to a familiar JSA member from the comics: The Flash (portrayed in the hit CW series by Grant Gustin). “I can’t go spoiling stuff they’re doing on Flash,” Guggenheim says. “Phil Klemmer, Geoff Johns, Dan Evans, and I sat down in a room at DC with a list, and it’s a long list, of the members of the JSA. One of the more fun afternoons I’ve had recently is sitting down and actually composing our JSA lineup, our perfect JSA lineup. That was a blast to do.”

As for axing off this season’s big bad, “It was always our plan to kill Vandal,” Guggenheim says. “We gave ourselves the out of, ‘Well, if we come up with a really good idea, then we don’t necessarily have to kill him,’ but it felt right. For us, the thing that was the discovery was the way we killed him was different from our original plan — not with whether or not to kill Vandal, but how we decided to kill Vandal.

If his powers only last 60 minutes, it's pretty dumb to go by the name "Hourman" Bucky May 2016 #2

the show did a pretty decent job (most of the time) of giving them a good amount of screen time. Definitely want to see more of the White Canary, though.

All a crook has to do is stall for 50 minutes or so and then he can safely kick Hourman's ass.

Of course there might've been other reasons why he'd tell the ladies he's a one-hour man.
