I mean theoretically at least one of them could have survived to the 31st century. Thoughts?

we saw them in Team 20 days. Brainy used them to build Computo.
I myself hate to see too many 20/21st C people in Legion-time, given how appalling DC 'continuity' is.

by that, I mean that if you intro a supposedly immortal Green Lantern, for instance, someone who logically would still be around, but then 6 months later that character in present-day is (1) killed off, (2) becomes a villain, or (3) the GL corps is yet again disbanded "forever," DC then rushes to force Legion to conform/backpedal, even though the odds are six months later the old status quo will be restored.

Those Alan Davis covers were FABOO!

Seeing that makes me wish more than ever that Ferro/Ferro Lad and Element Lad and maybe Gas Girl figured prominently in any story featuring the LSH and the METAL MEN.

Why does Platinum wear a hat?
Posted by Language Arts Lad on :
because Jackie O did.
Posted by Stealth on :
What's that?
A hat?
Crazy, funky, chunky hat?
Overslept?
Hair unsightly?
Trying to look like Keira Knightley?
We've been there, we've done that, we see right through your funky hat!

This is the real problem with DC. They always say the future is fixed, but what that fixed future is changes every year based on present stories. That is, they're never actually concerned with working toward the future they've ordained. Why can't they either admit that time is infinitely changeable, or not require the Legion to be in continuity with other titles?

While I liked Crisis on Infinite Earths all those years ago, I've come to regard it as the worst idea ever. When there where many alternate earths, it was easy to allow various retcons going on in the 'present-day books' without them having to necessarily affect anything going on in the 30th century, since we had no idea if the 'Superboy' that visited the Legion of Super-Heroes necessarily had any relation with the Supermen of Earth 1 or Earth 2.
And now I want to see the 'Legion' of the Crime Syndicate Earth-3 universe, if only out of a perverse desire to see how badly villianous versions of Garth, Imra and Rokk would make Mekt, Eve and what's-his-name look like wannabes...

I don't know that anyone doubted that the Superboy in Legion of Super-Heroes was the same person as the Superboy in Superboy and as the Superman in Superman. The situation I'm speaking of wasn't an issue pre-Crisis, if only because the present was more fixed into a status quo. It wasn't the merging of Earths that hurt the Legion. It was the thing I like about the Crisis. The change in the 20th century universe from a fixed point in time to a history with a chronology. Well, that combined with a failure to realize that the nature of the universe had changed.

I thought that's what Waid's threeboot Legion was.

Me too! Me too! Don't forget the Adult Legion of Super Non-Villians! Prince Cosmic, Titan Queen and The Lightning Master!

From Legionnaires #68:
I thought there was also some scene post-boot in which Brainy was in a Legion cruiser surrounded by machinery saying "Kill Dox" and among the machines was Mercury - or maybe Cliff from Doom Patrol - but I can't find it. Or I remember it all wrong.
