Gary was founded in 1905 (the largest city in the US founded in the 20th Century) Bellaire, a suburb of Houston (about three miles from my house) in 1907. Brasilia was founded as the new capital of Brazil in 1960.

Just a minor correction. Gary was founded in 1906. One of the jokes in The Music Man is that Professor Hill graduated from Gary Conservatory in 1905, which he couldn't have.

I sit corrected. I was going by memory and couldn't remember if it was "ought five" when he claimed to have graduated or when the place was founded. Marian the Librarian would be ashamed of me.

No...there is something that is true about these 3, that I don't think is true of any other Legionnaire.

Each was expelled from the Legion temporarily. Star Boy for killing Kenz Nuhor, Colossal Boy for telling Legion secrets to Tarik the Mute, and Ultra Boy for supposedly hiding a criminal past as a space pirate (ADV 316).
