Peacemaker is quite the trip - its a very different superhero show, and that, plus Cena himself, is why this show works so well. I think it hold the record for saying a certain f word the most in a single episode.
It's funny how this news spread so fast - I haven't even seen the episode yet and this is the first thing I hear all over the place.

In the latest episode of Peacemaker (Ep.4) on HBO Max, Peacemaker claims he had a team-up with Matter Eater Lad. Here's the exchange.
Peacemaker: Ever since I had a team-up with Matter Eater Lad my sense of normal's been a little fucked up.
Boss: You have to keep Vigilante close, if he talks it could ruin everything.
Peacemaker: I once saw him eat an entire Wendy's restaurant.
Boss: Vigilante ate a restaurant?
Peacemaker: No, Matter Eater Lad, that's his power, he can eat anything. Took too long with his fries or something. Guys a fucking lunatic.
Boss: His name's Matter Eater Lad?
I'm really enjoying this show. This came out of no where so caught me off guard. It seems James Gunn is the only filmmaker putting out Legion-related content*, even if it is all for jokes.
*Not counting the CW

I was skimming through HBO Max's catalogue and saw that there is an episode of Robot Chicken (season 7, ep 5, aired 2014) called "Legion of Super-Gyros".
After watching it there is nothing in the episode referencing the Legion, or even gyros for that matter. It just looks like the titles for this show's episodes are all wordplay involving random nerd things.
XS and Impulse are still speed-walking their way around the recent season of the Flash show. I haven't been watching, but reboot-era Legion artist Jeff Moy posted his on this Twitter:
For those that don't like going to Twitter, XS uses the name Nora Moy and Impulse uses the name Bart Waid in reference to their creators.
I'm still waiting for I Can't Believe Its Not Phantom Girl to show up. I find it curious that of all the Legion-based characters to penetrate outside of the Legion's default setting lately, its Phantom Girl's legacy and not a more prominent character. Her ancestor is on the Terrifics, and now another ancestor is on the Flash show.
thanks for sharing I saw a screenshot of it, and thought it was a really cool homage
happy that Tinya is showing up too. I wonder if it's a combination of her long history (being one of the first two non-founders), and that her power is fairly easy to portray on live TV (I think, anyway, I assume the effects would be a bit easier?).

Thanks for posting this! I saw this as well and thought it was a great easter egg.
I have to admit, the last few seasons of Flash haven't been great, but between XS showing back up and Tinya poised for an appearance, I may check it out. The Major Spoilers guys did a Flashcast review of the episode and liked it, despite being a little tired of the series itself.

The XS/Impulse episode was one of the best in awhile, largely because it pretty much exclusively focused on those two rather than the regular cast. So it felt like almost backdoor pilot kind of thing.
Which has nothing to do with the Legion per se, but check out this preview page. I swear that is Mon-El next to Blue Beetle on the top panel. I can't think of any other superhero with that color combo (red suit, blue boots, loose blue cape, short black hair). It could also be a colorist giving a crowd of superheroes random colors? And another character in the foreground of the second panel looks kinda like old-school Timberwolf but not exactly, and might be Geo-Force or another character with random colors. https://www.syfy.com/sites/syfy/fil...2/03/darkcrisis_yj_ink_1_color_final.jpg
There's also a page later on that shows Superboy/Conner, Superman/Jon, and then another mystery character dressed as Superman at the bottom right of the top panel, so I have no idea, maybe the art is a bit "loose" here. Its not Kenan Kong since he wears red and black, and Superboy-Prime died during Death Metal. They also have Batgirl with Batwoman's colors on the bottom panel...so probably an art mistake? https://www.syfy.com/sites/syfy/fil...2/03/darkcrisis_yj_ink_3_color_final.jpg
Another Legion-related reference, this time in a current book. I'm putting it behind a spoiler tag because the story is really well-written and you might want to read it yourself.
In Human Target #5 there is
a telepath from Titan named Emra who is working for one of Ra's al Ghul's "employees" to train killers to resist telepathy. This guy has the key to Emra's spaceship and uses it to blackmail her into his service. She trains the titular Human Target on how to resist telepathic assaults and he eventually kills her blackmailer and gets her key back so she can go home to Titan.
A very obvious reference! It also establishes a possible ancestor for yet another Legionnaire, the same way that was done for Phantom Girl with Linnya of the Terrifics.
So Tinya made her debut on The Flash tonight. Not really much to link her with our Tinya so far. She's a runaway looking for her mother, so we might get Winema as well?
The next three episodes of Young Justice just dropped on HBO Max, and it finally moves the Legion plot along. No spoilers, but the Legion form a kind of B-plot occassionally scattered between the main Atlantis plot.
