Shanghalla


Shanghalla is a fictional planetoid in the 30th century. Its name appears to be a portmanteau of Shangri-La and Valhalla.
Shanghalla is a memorial planetoid for the greatest heroes of the Galaxy. The deceased former members of the Legion of Super-Heroes are buried there alongside other great heroes of the galaxy. The Legion has had a relatively high death toll, especially compared to other comics at the time.
Among those entombed there are:
Additionally, Lightning Lad was interred there for a time after being apparently killed by Zaryan the Conqueror, but he was later revived by the sacrifice of Proty.
Post-Zero Hour it included:
Not only Legionnaires are enshrined on Shanghalla; other great heroes from the galaxy have been interred there as well. Most of these were one-offs which were just names put in by the writer or artist on a tomb in the background of a panel, but on occasion they were mentioned elsewhere. None of these were ever seen in action.
The name "Shanghalla" became part of the 30th century lexicon, for example, when facing down Legionnaire Impulse, The Persuader says, "Give my regards to Shanghalla" as a way of implying he was going to kill him.
