DC's Legends Of Tomorrow Season 1: 8 Ups And 5 Downs From 'Progeny'

1. More Trouble To Come

Legends of Tomorrow Hunters Progeny

The handling of the Mick Rory character is something that can be debated since Legends of Tomorrow debuted. Killing him off was a massive move, especially as it was BFF Captain Cold who did the deed, but to bring him back and reveal that he wasn’t actually killed off was something that was maybe handled poorly or revealed a little too soon.

Regardless, Rory is back in the land of the living and revealed to actually be Chronos. With no real care for life or death, the final moments of Progeny saw Mick drop the bombshell that chaos and carnage lies in front of the Legends team for The Hunters are on a mission to track them down and wipe them out.

As Rory puts it himself, The Hunters are a group of mercenaries who are void of any humanity. It certainly doesn’t bode well for Rip Hunter’s team of Legends, and it should hopefully make for some great TV going forward.
