We definitely know she'll make an impression.

Hmm... there must be some way we can get the current popularity of Ugly Betty to spill over to X-Bomb Betty as well...

Plus the whole 'X' popularity rampant in comics since the 1980's. Yes, yes, I say, this could be the breakout Legion hit we've been waiting for!

But we're really gonna need to sex it up for the teenage fan boy audience.

Given the slowness of the plot up to now, her one-time-only power really shouldn't be an issue!

In fact, I'd be surprised if it came up at all.

She could be one of Lex Luthor's superheroes from 52, and she got into the 31st century with Supergirl (a really really stray, fractured zeta beam?). Instead of a one-time power, Lex turns her power off from the 21st century, using the special future-broadcast radio he once used to contact the LSV. Bye bye X-Betty!

Maybe X-Bomb Betty could explode and it could somehow bring back Dream Girl, in the flesh!

I got it! The re-imagined X-Bomb Betty comes from a planet of people who explode at a certain point in their life! Her actual power is not exploding!

AND she's the only hottie on a planet of hideous alien grotesqueries, so she's considered "ugly" by their stupid alien standards! "UGLY X-Bomb Betty" they call her!

And thus, anytime they battle an enemy that strips the Legionnaires of their powers, Betty is in danger of exploding and dying at a moment's notice!

I love it! It's just like the Twilight Zone episode with the people with the pig noses.

We need this plotline to be implemented, STAT.

But the REAL catch is-- she's also considered ugly by native Terran standards-- she really *IS* a grotesque, misshappen alien freak!
