Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! WHO IS THE MAN ON THE SOFA??????

No one seems to be posting this , some have mentioned it, who is sitting next to Projectra on the sofa in issue one? This is also, i'm sure, the mis-colored boot person in the Legion/Titans special. It seems Barry and Mark have a major surprise for us long time Legion fans. When looking at the original Adventure line-up we know who is missing.
some hints..
Matter Eater lad and Bouncing Boy have been axed per Barry and Mark.
Mon-el will show later
Timber Wolf also no plans for
Take Supes and Supes girl out

That leaves Ferro Lad and Chemical King

I think we could see the return of Condo Arlik after 25 years to this book! He was always one of my favorites..even though he got little screen time.

Condo..
1. Has a great power.
2. Is sitting on the sofa with a "queen" or "princess"- possible hint.
3. was brought back to the archie legion era but turned into one of the many unresolved story threads.
4. Had brown boots in his original costume.
5. Has black hair
6. And finally, I think Ferro Lad is already dead. Think about it, this was Waid's first issue he ever read and was what started him reading the book. If we are already a year or two into the story he could be the team's first death.

Anybody?

Sorry...

Barry asked me not to tell anyone, but...

The guy on the sofa is Ultra-Matt, making his LSH-cameo debut. He and Jeckie are discussing her hair style.

Barry says there's some possible stunt-double work in store, so let's not ruin it for Matt by blabbing this too much, okay?

they haven't decided

it's up to the planetary chance machine ... apparently Mark Waid had 1 created just for him and that's how many decisions will be made

(in the time-honored tradition of course -- DUCK!)

I had not considered Chemical King, due mainly to the non-conformance of the name to the established re-imagined "rules." That's why I have been refering to Princess Projectra as Sensor Girl.

But maybe he could be the Catalyst Kid, or something.

For right now though, I think I am still leaning towards Shadow Kid. That's who the character on the couch most looks like to me. And we don't know if this Legion has a no duplication of powers rule.

On another note, see the Legionnaires on the catwalk as the Macrobot team decends through the center of the clubhouse? There is someone on the 2nd level down, talking to a girl, who looks to be wearing a Ferro Lad style helmet. Of course, this person looks like a female. Ferro Girl?

I'm more curious to know who those two people are in the blue hood/cape with the little floaty cameras by them.

I'm not sure the cameras have anything to do with them specifically. Notice there is a camera over Phantom Girl's head, as well.

No complaints here if it is Chemical King. Using royalty-type names is as much Legion tradition as lad/lass names so I hope there is no name-change there.

I've always understood the name rule as broad.

Members aren't restricted to Lad/Kid/Boy and Girl/Lass.

Anything indicating gender - King and Princess, for example - suffices.

I prefer to think that its Condo. I'd like to see him back even if we don't see him in action for awhile.

As for the cameras maybe they are everywhere, recording their day-to-day life. Kinda like the Legion of Big Brother. Maybe they broadcast what's going on to the kids outside so they can feel included.

Naw, that's part of the information net, it seems there are webcams everywhere. Everything gets recorded everywhere just as a matter of course. Maybe that's why people in this future don't think it's necessary to interact face to face, they're always available for comment at all times no matter what or where. *eewww*

I want to know who the guy on the couch with Jeckie is too. Also why didn't they answer the 'call to arms' when Ultra Boy said "Everybody". Those two and Triplicate Girl (if that's her name) didn't join the action team on Lallor for some reason.
Color me curious.

Maybe SoP is to have a certain number of Legionnaires stay behind no matter the emergency. Just in case they try to bulldoze the HQ again, kids outside or not.

Funny YK should mention color, because when I first saw this mystery man all dressed in black I noticed his face was a bit pale and assumed it was a reimagined Color Kid.

...but something tells me his costume would have a bit more to it than that.
