DC's Legends Of Tomorrow Season 1: 15 WTF Moments From 'White Knights'

Infiltrating The Pentagon, Soviet spies, rage-fuelled heroes, double-crosses, and even a Rocky mention!

by Andrew Pollard

With its latest offering, DC€™s Legends of Tomorrow takes the action behind the Iron Curtain as our rag-tag team wind up in 1986 and in the middle of Cold War tensions between the US and the USSR. Again tracking Vandal Savage, the group have to deal with the familiar threat of Chronos whilst also trying to find Dr. Volstok, a woman who is working on something for Savage that could change the history of mankind. Away from outside threats, tensions are also mounting within the group, with Martin Stein and Jax at each other€™s throats, not to mention Kendra Saunders having seemingly lost the plot a little. Still, it€™s a good thing that the always-stable Sara Lance is on hand to handle Kendra. In another nice twist, White Knights manages to give us our first real look at a Time Master who isn€™t Rip Hunter. In fact, it€™s Rip€™s apparent mentor, Druse. Of course, we soon find out that not everything he has to say is entirely truthful. Despite lacking the presence of uber-rogue Vandal Savage, this was yet another hugely enjoyable episode of DC€™s Legends of Tomorrow, and one full of WTF moments.

15. Aim High

As the age-old saying goes, ambition is critical. If you€™re going to have to break into somewhere, why not aim for the skies, right? Well, does it get any higher than The Pentagon? Nope. Within White Knights opening minutes, we see our Legends tasked with breaking into the ever-secure Pentagon so that they can nab a file detailing Vandal Savage€™s likely whereabouts. Whilst it maybe felt just a little too X-Men 2 to some, it still made for great, tongue-in-cheek action as our titular team were shown going all incognito in their quest.
