Your honor, members of the jury...
I submit that the (allegedly) missing Violet has been found!
As evidence, I present exhibit A:
In issue #1, page #15, where Invisible Kid first enters the headquarters, there are three small figures on the oval table. One of these has 'HER HAND RAISED AS THOUGH WAVING 'HI'.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, what is your verdict?

I have to say that the evidence is inadmissible as heresay (An out of court statement made to prove the truth of the matter asserted)

Clearly Vi is half-Carggite this time around. TriplicateGirl3

Okay, maybe I'm dense (maybe, ha!) but I kinda thought the Atom Girl thing in Issue #3 was an in-joke about Vi. Since "Shrinking Violet" isn't a lame enough, erm... a proper name for the re-imagined universe and all.

I think it was one of those Legion figurines with their arms raised. Clearly someone is trying to gain super powers from it.

Which explains why the powerless Projectra was sitting in front of them! I think you're onto something, Jim!

Three Founders action figures? However, given the team's 20th century fascination, and all the memorabilia pictured in that room, it could have been Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

Which doesn't explain Atom Girl... maybe the other legionnaires will call her Shrinking Violet, and she'll keep telling them her name is Atom Girl.

I thought the same thing when that issue first came out. Might even have posted the thought somewhere here. I think it is Vi, standing among figurines of Supes, Batman and WW....fits the retro hero motif.

Curiously, that table is directly in front of Jecki and Brin, the OTHER mysteries.

My understanding is that she's not going to actually be called "Atom Girl" even though it's her code name. I'm thinking she'll end up as Shrinking Violet after all.

And the other charaters whose names don't fit.

As a note, like the Pirates Code, Legion naming conventions are more suggestions. Also, Star Boy not knowing Princess Projecta PERSONALLY doesn't mean he hasn't seen her before hanging around.

Presumably, Shavaugn Erin and other boyfriend/girlfriend equivalents visit the inner clubhouse all the time.

What a cool idea Charles. Non Legionnaires inside the clubhouse were extremely rare before the creation of Legion World in the DnA run but it would make so much sense to have members showing their friends and loved ones their homes away from home.
Besides, with B5's anti Science Police bias it would be pretty amusing to see him going batty over potential espionage agents inside the holy of holies.

As it was stated in the first issue, there's no "Bouncer" at the door and anyone who wants to come in can, it seems a pretty active place all round.

Given the new Clubhouse is also apparently Skyscrapper size, it seems entirely likely there's probably a few hundred people in it every day (Princess P's bodyguards for example) at the least with the "main 20" just being the active team.

I'm thinking of the Watchtower staff seen in the JLU cartoon as an example. In addition to guests, significant others, and family.
