Now, this one differs from the others in that I'm not currently up to speed on the series. At the time of this writing, I've only gotten to the second episode of the fourth season. As such, it is possible, though not likely, that these characters have appeared. From what I've read, I've seen nothing to indicate that they do. As such, I'm operating on the assumption that they haven't, but I could be proven wrong. In any event, let's get on with the list, shall we?
1. Legion of Super-Heroes
This team has made its way into the Arrowverse via Supergirl, but to my knowledge, the Legends have not come across them. Rather than have the Legion come to the past, it would be no small thing for the time traveling band to venture to the 30th century and cross paths with them there. It would allow Legion members who haven't been featured yet to be introduced and it would give the Legends a chance to visit a future that wasn't dark and dystopian.
Where the JSA was brooding and moody, this team can be bright and hopeful. They'll likely mesh with the Legends better, but it would also show how the Legends aren't complete paragons either.
2. Booster Gold
One of DC's most prominent time traveling heroes seems like a logical pick for the show. He's also one of the more light-hearted DC heroes, meaning that he'd fit right in with the goofy band of misfits. Sadly, he doesn't have Ted Kord to bounce off of, but I'm sure the writers could make do. If I recall correctly, he's Rip Hunter's son, so the show could also use that as a nice nod to the now departed character.
3. Terry McGuinness
With Batman becoming a more prominent fixture in the Arrowverse, why not include the second iteration of the character? Even now, the "Batman Beyond" franchise still has its fans and it still has appeal. It's another recognizable DC Comics time period for the team to visit. While the future is a bit darker, it isn't completely dystopian. The Legends could even meet up with some members of that period's Justice League for added measure.
4. The Big Hand
No, we're not crossing over with the Defenders here. This is a being that has appeared in the comics (notably in the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" mini-series) as well as in an episode of "Justice League Unlimited". Whenever a character has made an attempt to witness the beginning of time (a fundamental law of existence dictates that this can't be done,) said character would see a giant hand opening up with a galaxy inside it.
Seeing as the Arrowverse has already had its "Crisis On Infinite Earths", this is the character that (oddly enough) has the biggest possibility of already appearing. As noted above, I've read nothing to indicate that it's appeared, but it isn't outside the realm of possibility.
Does it have a whole lot of depth or complexity? No, but it would be a cool moment for the team to come across it. The series could even mirror JLU and have the team racing to stop a villain from going back to claim reality as their own.
5. The Thanagarians
Hey, remember how the time masters said that Earth is eventually invaded and conquered by the winged alien species? Yeah, the team should probably do something about that. Dangling plot threads are bothersome and it would be nice to see this acknowledged after all this time.
So, there you have it. It covers a lot of ground, giving the team various established DC periods to visit and heroes to encounter while also bringing some fan favorites into the fold. I'm not sure I can get two more lists from this show like I did with Supergirl, but this one turned out pretty well in my opinion. We'll have to see how well things fare as far as success rate goes.
