The Wanderers were a fictional group of super-heroes appearing in comics published by DC Comics. They first appeared as allies of the Legion of Super-Heroes in Adventure Comics #375 written by Jim Shooter, illustrated by Win Mortimer with a cover by Neal Adams. DC published a thirteen-issue series featuring the team in the late 1980s.

[edit] Members

  • Celebrand - an older male probably in his late 30's, the leader and strategist for the group.
  • Psyche - mistress of emotions
  • Quantum Queen - able to project or turn herself into any type of quantum energy much like Kid Quantum.
  • Elvo - master swordsman who wields an energy sword
  • Dartlag - expert with blow guns and darts. Has several types of darts for use such as exploding darts
  • Orintho - born with wings he is able to shape shift into any other bird.
  • Immorto - expert marksman who cannot be killed, instead his body automatically rejuvenates.

In 1993 artist Dave Cockrum's original design sketch for the Wanderers was published in Marvel Comics' X-Men Anniversary Magazine and showed that one of the originally planned members was Nightcrawler, who Cockrum instead ended up using as a member of the X-Men.
