Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes New Deep Dark Secrets to be Revealed in Legion Secret Origins!

Brainiac 5 has a synaptic dampening field built into the Flight Rings of his teammates, so that they all act like imbeciles around him and 'remember' that every invention in Legion history (time-spheres, flight rings, Mon-El's serum, etc.) were his exclusive inventions.

The first time Shrinking Violet tried out? That was actually Yera, already in disguise.

Prior to joining, Invisible Kid "haunted" the clubhouse. Saturn Girl actually knew of his existence - but she had been having sex with him and mindwiping him every time. After he revealed himself, she telepathically pushed him into exploring his latent homosexual tendencies so he would never remember their trysts.

Dream Girl actually has a second superpower - pheromone abilities. Several incidents in the past have convinced her never to reveal their existence.

Beauty Blaze is actually Sun Boy's daughter from the future. Her parents' marriage broke up when Dirk was caught having an affair with Brek Bannin, aka Polar Boy. She traveled back in time to save her parents' marriage.

The incident that first prompted Light Lass to use the cellular trim ray? Lightning Lad borrowed one of her costumes to fulfill one of Saturn Girl's fantasies... and it fit him perfectly.

Esper Girl and Saturn Queen have seduced each other and then mindwiped-each-other-to-forget-it so many times that their brains are like swiss cheese.

Shadow Lass was replaced by an imposter and is currently in a sens-tank, captive of Talokkian separatists. When she finally gets out, she's going to *really* dump Mon-El, cut her hair short, develop an even *bigger* 'tude, and start dating Dragonwing.

Laurel Kent was never a robot. She's also in a refrigerator somewhere.

Zymyr is a hyper-evolved human colon from the year 2875. He's not really gone much past his original role in 'transporting waste.'

The United Planets was not colonized by human test subjects, but serpent test subjects. Sensor is the only humanoid. Hijinks ensue.

* Bismollians have the entire power set of Daxamites or Kryptonians, plus immunity to kryptonite and lead, and they retain their powers under a red sun. As a race, they are simply modest, and don't like to brag.

* There are no "Heroes of Lallor" per se. They're all Duplicate Boy.

* The real reason "Camera Eye" was rejected: he auditioned naked, except for the collar and armbands.

The Tenzil Kem seen in the last years has been a duplicate created by his cosmically-empowered greater self, who now goes by the name Miracle-Eater Lad, and can belch forth anything he imagines.

Timber Wolf suffers from slight mental damage from having been repeatedly mindwiped by Imra after smelling the evidence.

Princess Projectra only made an illusion of herself killing Nemesis Kid (she only knocked him unconscious). Hart Druitner is still on Orando, trapped in a prison of illusion.

All the events that have been chronicled, in all three versions of the Legion, were actually dreamt by Pol Krinn after his older brother Rokk was tragically killed en route to Earth.

The U.P., the Khundish territories, and the Dominion together are actually a small, undistinguished, and technologically, economically, and socially backward region which the rest of the Galaxy considers "mostly harmless".

The Time Trappers evil twin, the orange-robed Math Master, is responsible for enforcing its own version of the Iron Curtain of Time, called 'the Hard Limit.' Because of the Math Master's machinations, the Legion can never go above 25 members, and when they do so, temporarily, the Math Master begins arranging accidents to 'trim them down,' from happy accidents like the birth of Graym Ranzz (leading to the retirement of two members) to less happy accidents like the deaths of Chemical King and Karate Kid.

At various times, the Math Master has been unmasked, and revealed to be; an ancient and bald Imra Ardeen, the time-displaced ghost of Brainiac 5's evil great-grandson Brainiac 8, M'Rissey and / or Computo.

RJ Brande's employs Proteans who disguise themselves as credits, jewels, or other items with which he pays people.

Because of their shapeshifting and telepathic abilities, they are able to perform thefts, espionage and assassinations all over the galaxy.

Spider-Girl is actually from a race of sentient hair follicles, with the amazing ability to grow a squishy human body and animate it.

Infectious Lass, like all Somahturans, is a dead humanoid body infected by a sentient viral hive-mind.

Despite having mastered hundreds of martial arts, Karate Kid doesn't actually know karate.

The 'super-fertilizer' sludge that Chlorophyll Kid was dunked in as a child was actually the liquefied remains of Alec Holland.

Invisible Kid's original invisibility formula didn't affect clothing or items carried, so he had to run around naked, save for a trenchoat, and was called 'Kid Flasher.'

The secret power source inside of a Legion Flight Ring is 10,000 Imskians running on tiny treadmills.

When Dream Girl foresaw Ultra Boy, Shrinking Violet, Lightning Lass, Bouncing Boy, Matter-Eater Lad, Triplicate Girl, and Lightning Lad being killed... they actually were. She just used Naltorian science to animate their remains until she and Brainiac 5 could replace them with robots.

When Kid Quantum's power belt failed him, it wasn't because it stopped being able to project stasis fields. Instead, it was that it failed to keep his pants up. Being distracted by this "wardrobe malfunction" was what actually led to his death.

Note that his skin was also mauve, until he met Turns-Everything-Green Kid.

Dragonmage (you remember that "mystic-ninja" type character)... well he's the time displaced child of Val and Jeckie. She found out that she was pregnant shortly after Val's death and her departure from the Legion and of course before her return as Sensor Girl.

^^I actually halfway like that idea! Not sure how you get a Chinese kid out of three-quarter caucasian/one-quarter Japanese parents, but otherwise...

Oh Yeah! Jeckie and Nemesis Kid had a "thing" before she met Val in the Legion. She met Val, switched guys and the Karate Kid-Nemesis Kid rivalry is (as they say) history!!!

OK...Maybe that one's a stretch, but interesting!

Comet Queen was a geeky science nerd growing up, much smarter than her peers, until she designed the process that gave her powers with her home chemistry kit. She totally changed her personality to live up to what she thought was appropriate for the new 'popular girl' she was going to become.

She loves when people underestimate her and think of her as an airhead, but also secretly resents them for not looking deeper or ever appreciating the 'real her.'

Garth slept with Proty!

One of the startling revelations from the Five Years Later period is true--exactly as described in the 5YL.

Dawnstar's people are the legendary progenitor race that seeded humanoid life across the galaxy, using bio-engineered mutant 'pathfinders' to locate and traverse interspatial wormholes from world to world.
