The Newskid Legion is a group of young kids who deliver newspapers for the Daily Planet. Flip Johnson--the leader and seemingly also the founder of the Newskid Legion--is the editor and chief of the Newskid Newspaper. Following Flamebird being bought out by and made a subsidiary of the Daily Planet, the Newskid Legion were officially brought in as interns under Jimmy Olsen by Perry White.
Trivia[]
- The Newskid Legion is a modern update of the Newsboys Legion, a cast of vigilante newsboys from the 1940s' Golden Age comics, created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. The characters were re-introduced and integrated into the world of Superman when Jack Kirby came to work for DC in the 1970s after a falling out with Marvel. Another incarnation appeared in the 1990s Superboy comics, which were Project Cadmus clones of the originals from the ‘40s.
