Not to mention those creepy space-telescopes that people on other planets have!
Or however it is that people in shrunken cities spy on the macro-world!
Posted by Future on :
I can see how reality TV will be obsolete in the future!
Just choose to watch people on any planet, from any time...that gives you a lot more choices than television.
I'm surprised more Legion secrets weren't uncovered this way. If you're the most popular teen group in the universe, wouldn't billions of sentients be tuning in on you with their viewers?

Dear People from the Future,
If you have perfected Time Travel, I thought I should let you know that I am available for speaking engagements on my era's history and culture for a negotiable fee (exotic currency, stock tips, the outcome of certain sporting events, etc. We'll talk.)
If your men have become sterilized due to radiation from past World Wars and repopulation is an issue, we can delay my return appropriately. (Send pictures of your females. We'll talk.)
If your copy of "To Serve Man" is actually a cookbook.....I can suggest other more worthy candidates than myself for the honor. (For a negotiable fee. We'll talk.)
Sincerely, OM

Kind of makes you think what mischief the Legionnaires got up to with the Anywhere Machine, huh?
I think I'll follow Triad's lead and start showering with my clothes on too.
Posted by MLLASH on :
Oh, I already knew they were watching. That's why I'm so dramatic... got to give the people their money's worth!

Huh?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Don't you remember that scene in Legionnaires where all the girls were naked in the shower, except Triad who was wearing her Legion-costume?

Actually, I was just kidding.
I think IB's referencing something Triad said in the issue where the AM first appears.

How much are you being paid?
Posted by MLLASH on :
A lot, but unfortunately the future space-currency isn't valid until the future.
It sure looks cute walking around here going "meep meep meep", though!

Wouldn't this be a form of space-stalking or space-time stalking?
Glad I installed those lead-lined curtains.
Posted by Flannel Lass on :
Sure, why not? I've always assumed aliens were watching. Also, elves. And ghosts.
Man, if my Mom is right, and my great-grandmother is watching me from Heaven, she must be so disappointed with me!
I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't cheat at cards, I don't smuggle, and I'm not a nudist! Maybe I am adopted!
Flannel Lass, boring aliens everywhere

Actually, I think we may have uncovered the real motivation for the Iron Curtain of Time...
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
I mean... here this poor guy is trying to take a shower (hence the robe) and these people from the 31st century keep trying to peek at him.
Posted by SiliconDream on :
He has to take so many showers, too! All that dust and decay everywhere.
He once got Glorith hooked on the Body Scrub of 1,000 Chemicals, but look where that got him...
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
This important subject deserves further discussion!

On body scrubs - or 1000 chemicals?

I believe it was reboot Legion of Super-Heroes #114 (1999). Brainy introduces the Anywhere Machine, which M'Onel hates. Vi discovers the United Molecules. Vi and Ayla try to "fix" Zoe's mind, which had been turned into space-tapioca by the Time Anomoly. I just assumed that Triad Purple would continue showering naked... Posted by Fat Cramer on :
This erosion of privacy rights has gone too far. If the people from the future watching us are criminals who are going to be sent into the past (i.e. our present), we better watch out.
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
The REAL reason Brainy invented the Time Bubble was so he could come back in time and vote off Sanjaya.
Posted by PolarBoy on :
the sad thing amoung the 25 of them watching superboy walk about was the most intresting thing they could come up with.
Posted by Ultra Jorge on :
I have a feeling that the future may be using my life as a subplot to a tv series of the United States. I also have a feeling that since my life is so boring (well i do travel alot) and has nothing to do with the US government...that my subplot is highly fictionalized. I hope they got somebody good looking to play me. They are watching me and mocking me. I hate the future!
Posted by PolarBoy on :
mooning the future as we speak.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Jeepers! It just occurred to me that people on alternate Earths may be reading about my adventures in comic books!

Here's an idea I read about in a Time Travel site a couple of years ago:
First, write your own version of the following letter.
Dear Time Travellers, Assuming that civilisation has evolved by the time you read this and time travel is an everyday occurrence, I hereby declare that I really want to meet you because <add a few good reasons>. I'm a fan of a futuristic comic book (a small book composed of sequential images and text) called the Legion of Super-Heroes that's set in the 30th-31st Century. It's possible you don't even know it ever existed. It's also possible that it's studied in your time as a "classic" of historical literature or even that you've created a real Legion of Super-Heroes as guardians for your world(s) inspired by this comic book. As a mega-fan of this magazine, time-travel, extraterrestrials, galactic empires etc are no novelty for me, so I'm not going to go into shock if you decide to come to my era. I'd like to meet you on <add date> at <address etc>. I'm enclosing a photo of myself for your convenience.
Thank you <name>
Now, go to the bank and rent a safety box for 500 hundred years. Put the letter in it. State explicitly that that box is not to be opened before January 1, 2507 and on condition that time travel WILL be a reality by then.
To further ensure your letter will be read by time travellers do the following too: Open a small account and put some money in it that is to be spent for paying for the safety box after 500 years elapse (5 centuries' worth of interest ought to be enough for extending the time your safety box will remain yours) in case time travel is not yet possible in the early 26th century. Keep a copy of the letter to prove to the time travellers that you are you.
Then go home and prepare for the meeting with the time travellers from the 26th century. Make *aboslutely* sure you'll be in the right place and time for the meeting!
Silly? Of course it is. I wonder, though, if anyone has tried it.

Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Wasn't there a convention for time travellers or something like that at MIT or someone a couple of years back? I seem to recall a thread about that somewhere.
Posted by Dain on :
I wouldn't know but there still are a few sites with serious discussions about time travelling and the possibility of contact with time travellers.

As for traveling to the future, fuggedaboutit. I already know that I'd end up in Hectic Planet future, not Legion future. That's always the way my luck has worked. Granted, the former would have a fun array of music and beverages, but the rest... ehhh...

Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Bears!!! Where? Are the Bears watching us too?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Haven't you heard? They watch you when you're sleeping.
Especially if you're sleeping in their bed after sitting in their chair and eating their porridge.

But..but.. it was just right.

Let's send the watchers over to Jerry's house. I hear it's pretty neat and clean over there. Besides, I've got nothing in the fridge because I haven't been shopping yet today.
Posted by Jerry on :
The shopping is done and I have have the perfect dinner napkins for guests from the future. They should come on Tuesday.
Posted by Silver Age Lad on :
I'm not so bothered about civilized future types watching us but get the creeps at villains from the Phantom Zone spying on the solid world.
If I had been sent to the Zone, my comment to the judge/jurors/lawyers would have been something like:
I'll enjoy watching your wife undress and you having sex together. And I'll enjoy blackmailing you when I come out knowing all your secrets.
Creepy huh?

And thats when, as a judge, I'da just killed ya'.
