It's certainly possible. But their not retiring is actually a really good explanation for the apparent lack of three of the "Levitz Five" that joined after their retirement.
That is true. No Magnetic Kid, Quislet or Tellus. Though we did see Sensor Girl and Polar Boy. And I just have this feeling Quislet will show up before all is said and done.

And why can't they just bring back the original Supergirl and have her just stay in the 31st century.

Did Dream Girl's powers originally come from Naltorian super science? I thought it was the other way around. In Adv. 363 Naltor's president (or whoever) says that their science is based on their visions and in that solo Dream Girl story, she discovers that Naltor's earthquake vibrations were responsible for their visions. Or something like that.
I agree that they can't really use Supergirl in the LSL, unfortunately.

Is Dream Girl going to appear in the next issue of Action? I really liked her in the Lightning Saga.

jimgallagher: I think Naltorians' powers originally came from their science. In that solo story, it was the machines they used to regulate the earthquakes that were interfering with their visions: they were vibrating on an inconvenient frequency, or something, so Nura had to recalibrate them so there wouldn't be any negative effects.
Askanipsion: According to some exposition, Dream Girl's on Naltor at the moment. I guess she could appear, but my suspicion is she'll remain offscreen during this story.

Tis a shame....since she has disappeared from the regular Legion series....Brainy has also not been shown so I wonder if he is with Dream Girl now.
I would like to see Shooter's take on her.

Presumably Barry Allen, the Silver Age flash. Each of the locations the various reams visited had some connection with Barry, or his final visitations during the original Crisis.
Brainy and the LSH seemed surprised it was Wally, not Barry, they freed.
Since Barry spent almost all of his last six months alive in the 30th century, where he fathered Don and Dawn Allen, the Tornado Twins that the LSH knew, there is presumably some connection Brainy was seeking to take advantage of.

Huh. I thought that it was Bart Allen in the thing. Didn't he die around the same time Wally came back? And I thought that Bats and Hal thought that it was Barry. I don't think that the Legionnaires gave any indication of who they were bringing back. They were going for someone, but it just wasn't Wally&Family.
(I'm going by memory here. It's been a while since I've read those issues and I don't have them on hand to check them out.)

I think you're right about the Legionnaires giving no indication; it was my interpretation that Brainy expected Barry. I should have clarified.
Given all the locations, Bart seems unlikely, but so did Wally so no one can really say at this point.

RE: Action #862 preview. The art looks pretty good this time around, but the reveal about Saturn Girl and the applicants is kind of disturbing. Interesting concept, perhaps justifiable, but the not the Saturn Girl I knew...

The art has grown on me as the nature of the story has revealed itself.
What do you mean this isn't the Saturn Girl we knew? This is a girl who telepathically determined that one of the Legion would die, stole an election through telepathic manipulation and depowered her teammates because she thought she knew better than them. This is Saturn Girl through every boot, though its funny that she's shown constantly touching Kal-El like a tween backstage at a boy band concert.
What might be more objectionable is the ret-con of those innocent funny silver age stories. This is what some of us have been saying about the LS/Action Legion to those gushing over having them back.
"This isn't 1983. Your favorites and their histories are now subject to the interpretation through the 2008 DCU (and its creators/editors). You might not like some of the stuff that will be tacked on."
So fair warning given, the story actually has been good if a little slow moving. It'll be a beautiful hardcover though.

Re: page 5 of the preview...a lightning beast? How many times do writers need to be reminded, Durlans can only mimic form, not function!!! (unless the function is a result of the form, like a bird's wings)
