The Time Trapper would make sense but so does Darkseid since the New Gods are a pivotal part of this also.

I dunno. In Supergirl #21 (the current issue, written by Legion scribe, Tony Bedard), Una says her Legion name is Triplicate Girl. Now, that's in direct contradiction to the Duo Damsel statue in Superman's Fortess, but Karate Kid did address her as Triplicate Girl once before in Countdown.
At this stage, though I'm pretty sure Una is just one girl, I have no idea how many bodies Lighting Saga Luornu actually has -- and I suspect DC intends it to be all confusing and mysterious.

That might've been Destiny (brother to Dream).

You know I am wondering if Una is just a name that they give themselves/are given by others to help differentiate between the three bodies Trip splits into. Sort of like a Triad Orange, Triad Neutral etc.
So maybe out there, we have a Dos and a Tres. Or perhaps an Un, Deux and Trois exist or some version of these numerical names.
After all just because we have not seen the other bodies don’t mean they aren’t there.

I always wondered about that. Suppose one of Duo Damsel's bodies went back in time with a team and left her "sister" in the future. While not being able to replicate would effectively negate her "power" I wonder would there be any other advantages to the tactic?

I have no idea who Destiny or Dream are, but I'm sure you're probably right - after all, it was the Book of Destiny.

Go to your next comic book shop and read your Sandman, Kid Quislet It's essential comic book art - I know of nobody who didn't like it...

I agree with CK. I think they're "essential" to every comic reader's education.
Still, it isn't the art (on Sandman) that I think is so essential, though in it's way it's phenomenal too and helped pave the way for a looser, darker type of comic book art to gain mainstream acceptability. The stories are such high quality that I really believe they're on the level of "The Watchmen", or the original serialized run of the first year of "Marvelman" (later Miracleman), maybe even better than the first couple of years of "The Elementals" by Willingham. Outstanding writing.
A really cool read too.

If the Lightning Saga Legion is from a timeline that is simular to one that continued on from the Baxter era than Una was down to just one body. She lost the first to Computo all those years ago and then the 2nd in their last battle with the Time Trapper. Thats the way I have interpretted the apperances of the Lightning Sage Legion anyway. Their history is close to the classic Legion up until the end of the Baxter series but not into the 5 Years Latter Legion. It changes then. I could be wrong.

In the latest issue of Supergirl (22 this week) Kara reveals 3-boot Brainy wiped her memory before giving her a one-way ticket home. LSaga Val and Una suggest that they have never met Supergirl before last issue.
So either they are lying or the pre-crisis Supergirl has been erased from the Legion's history. So is a Legion without Brainy building a robot in his sleep an original Legion? Perhaps Laurel took her place, perhaps in the Lightning Saga version of the robot story, Brainy was pining for Laurel when she joined the Convent because she rejected the disco revival of 2976. I might join a monastery too if the alternative was a white leisure suit.
Upon review I actually like my version better than the version in the archive. And so Squealer led the sheep to the field and they came back singing a new song, "Archives Good, Retcon Bahhhter."

Yes, but the battle in which the Trapper killed one of Duo Damsel's bodies was prompted by the death of the pocket-universe Superboy. So we're not quite out of the woods yet.
