Who lived up to the title of Legend?

Over the course of its first season, Legends of Tomorrow gave a number of supporting characters from the Arrowverse a chance to shine in the spotlight, taking them - and the audience - on a wild ride through time itself that, while not perfect, proved to be loads of fun, its lows easy to forgive due to the show's abundance of charm.

From both the Arrow and The Flash, familiar faces old and new were plucked and thrown into the mix together, the diversity in the series' choices allowing for almost each and every character to stand out from one another. Between eternal warrior lovers to a tech genius to a pair of scoundrels, no two characters were quite alike, but while much of the first season's roster left a solid impression behind, a few team members fell short of hitting the mark, making the weak links in the team stand out far more in comparison to its MVPs.

With the dust of season one now pretty settled, let's take the opportunity to take a spoiler-filled look back at the series' main characters to sort out which ones admirably lived up to the title of Legend and which ones stumbled along the way...

10. Carter Hall

After a relatively lukewarm introduction in the Legends of Today/Legends of Yesterday crossover between The Flash and Arrow, it seemed that Carter Hall's position on the Legends team was going to go a long way towards fleshing the character out and giving him a personality beyond simply existing only to wake Kendra up to her true past.

Instead, Carter was dead by the time the credits rolled on the second episode, leaving Kendra without her support system and not many feeling as if the show was losing something in Carter, whose charisma-less personality was far from missed. The initial Carter/Kendra dynamic was so devoid of charm as to make it easy not to thoroughly invest in the lovers' plight across time right off the bat, and even though some of the former Prince Khufu's reincarnations past and future appeared throughout the season, the fact remains that Carter himself - the reincarnation that fans first met and should've been most invested in - ended up being an unfortunate wash.
