That makes a lot of sense! I had been wondering if Dr. Regulus was involved, but now I like this idea too.

Oh oh! Is that Supes punching a hole through reality a la Superboy Prime? Could that be where all of this is leading, as well as in Final Crisis?

I read the new issue at lunch today. It was a quick read. Didn't feel like much happened. Went to Colu and back in 60 seconds for no real reason. Did get a few glimpses of some new/old characters though.

Haven't read the new issue yet, but I sure am loving this storyline... I tend to find Gary Frank's art very appealing... something about it really sticks with me. I also have the "this is my Legion" feeling which Sketch Lad references above.

I enjoyed this issue... it's the continuity of the old Legion rejects (and the supporting character Ultra Jorge is referring to) that makes this feel like the REAL legion. There is more info on the previous lightning rod storyline as well so that still has reverberations in this ongoing saga that haven't been seen yet.

Well with the new issue of Action another old member is finally seen, and a new one that I actully really liked. So far I think they have shown or mentioned almost all the former members of the Legion from the Pre-Crisis team except 8 now.
They have accounted for White Witch as being given to Mordru, Dream Girl being back on Naltor, and Mon-El being thrown back into the Phantom Zone. Karate Kid, Starboy, and Triplicate Girl/Duo Damsel/Una are all back in the 21st century.
That just leaves:
Chameleon Boy Bouncing Boy Matter Eater Lad Tyroc Princess Projectra/Sensor Girl Quislet Tellus Magnetic Kid
I can understand maybe not seeing Tyroc or even Magnetic Kid, Quislet, and Tellus in this story, but I can't belive that the other four would not show up at least in a small way. Especially not Chameleon Boy and Projectra.

I won't pick this up until tomorrow, but ELEMENT LAD hasn't appeared or been mentioned, has he?
Or SUN BOY? Though he was referred to in LIGHTNING SAGA.
Or CHEMICAL KING. Or LYLE NORG. Or FERRO LAD (hey, if Val and Luornu get extra lives, why not these three?)

I'm confused as to what we are suppose to assume about Luornu. If the Una that is back in time With KK is Action's Luornu... she should still be Duo Damsel as The Time Trapper/Glorith hasn't killed her 2nd body yet within Action's timeframe. So where is it? I've been assuming that Una is the first body of Lu's to die by Computo and that Duo Damsel still existed elsewhere. She hasn't actually been referred to in the current Action continuity yet has she?

Damn I forgot all about Element Lad. As for the Lourna thing it is a bit wacky. I am going to assume that if it is her and not something else that will be reveiled in Countdown yet that some time between Crisis and the Lightning Saga she lost her 2nd body in some way. I don't think it would be at the hands of the Time Trapper/Glorith since that story should be gone now since the pocket univerese Superboy didn't exist for this team so they would not have been aveging his death like before.

The old character/new Legionnaire's appearance has changed somewhat. Not sure which version I like better, but continuity is always a good thing imo.
It's hard to believe that none of the missing Legionnaires are dead, but I hope not.
