Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The Non-Legion Comics Trivia Thread Pt 5

you got it! Superman was called in to stop Terra... she used her powers to gather kryptonite. oops. and when Changeling came to confront her she burned him alive... then destabilized Earth's core, basically killing most of the world...

very grim


on a brighter note,

over to you thothy

Grimness for the sake of it, the end point of the legacy people took from Dark Knight Returns. New Q sooooon...

Perceived as an alien threat, how is a returning Captain Atom dealt with by those who put him through his transformative experiment.

Stuck in a test tube? Seems a common occurrence to shrinking people.

It is, but this is Captain Atom, so they had something else in mind.

Brainwashed and turned into Monarch?

No, this occurs earlier.

Sicced Major Force on him?

Whoops! Teach me to read the question better (maybe).

Ibby's Major Force answer sounds good but just in case, threaten to reveal to his super-hero colleagues that his backstory is fictional?

Not Major Force or threaten him. This was a direct way of getting rid of him and in keeping with his background.

Did they try to nuke him?

Did they try to send him backwards in time ?

No. He had just come forward in time, so it would have been reasonable for them to try and reverse it, or do it again.

This is close enough for the win. They did try to blow him up, by sending him into space on a rocket. Military rockets were all the rage in Cap's original run.

Over to you stile!

During Zero Hour a new Batgirl showed up who was fairly quickly shown not to be the one from our universe/timeline. Other than being able to walk (our Barbara was still confined to a wheelchair) what else gave away her other timeline origins?

oh nice one, I remember this Batgirl. Heroic sacrifice at the end, too.

Was she too young / noticeably younger than "our" Babs?

She carried the Bat-Handbag of the '60s?

You are remembering the character correctly and she was drawn younger but I don't remember anyone commenting on such. Not what I was looking for.

I remember that bag! No she wasn't carrying that.

wait, I think it was a point of reference. that is, she mentioned that the current Robin then (Tim) was younger /different than her Batman's Robin.

Her origin didn't involve Killer Moth?

I had forgotten that. You are very close and it is to do with something she says, but not that.


Not that I remember.

I don't remember the details, so I'm guessing: Was her Jim Gordon dead?

Her Batman isn't Bruce Wayne?

No definitely Bruce Wayne.
Not exactly what I was thinking of but close enough as an important part of the difference. This Batgirl had the confrontation with Joker that our Babs did but this time it was her Dad who opened the door and was shot which killed him and Barbara who was kidnapped. After Batman rescued her, Bruce helped her through the trauma and they ended up as a couple, leading to this Batgirl's very awkward comment about how much she and Bruce meant to each other.

Take it away Paladin.

Good Q, stile. Well done Paladin.

huh cool, I don't think this was outlined in the main Zero Hour book eh? must have been in a tie-in. nice!
