Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Recent Legion-verse sightings in DCU proper

If you'll use Garl and Englen, you've got my vote!

I don't know who those are.

Well, you're disqualified.

They're friends of Mon-El from Adv. 321. Their daughter (?) Is Laurel and Rond's nanny 5YL.

OHHHH I remember her now. The one who I keep thinking was a Dominator.

Honestly, I hope... like you guys know how much I talk about "Oh if I was writing at DC" but with how much writing I've gotten out there this year, I want to believe I really am building up a chance to get in there.

They do look suspiciously similar to Dominators!

Wishing you success, Sarky. Keep at it!

They say the same thing about Earthlings and Daxamites!

21st century Braal shows up in Superman #7, attacked by Brainiac and some spare czarnians he had hidden away in his pocket.

I haven't read it beyond these three pages, so have no idea what happens. I, uh...kinda hope he doesn't kill them all, ya know? The past few years have done enough damage to the original Legion's canonicity, making it ever harder for the original Legion's return, that we don't need another bullet.

Braal even existing in the 21st century is enough damage, imo.

Doesn't that fit in with the Valor seeded the galaxy scenario?

Well, I suppose technically it does. Though even if we go with the seeding idea rather than it being a world that was colonized by Earth in the intervening centuries, it's hard to imagine Braal being "filled with humanity" and highly technologically developed in the present day. It is supposed to be a "seed" that will grow to eventually become the world in the 31st century, rather than an instant highly advanced civilization.

Yeah, not a fan. I like the notion that many of the UP worlds, Winath, Braal, Titan, Orando, Cargg, Imsk, Rimbor, etc. are colonies established by Earth over the 1000 years between 'now' and 'then.' So when planets like Rimbor or Braal appear in a 21st century story, my eye twitches.

(Even Starhaven. although it was colonized *before we had space travel,* which is a neat trick! I really want a story addressing how they did that, and what 'ancient adversary' they might have been fleeing, if they are indeed the Anasazi.)

Also, not really fan of the notion that Mon-El's incurably fatal debilitating lead poisoning, which, IIRC, had him too weak to stand under his own power when Superboy sent him into the Zone, kind of went into remission long enough for him to help a couple hundred thousand people settle a dozen planets, some of which might have taken him flying full-out *months* to reach (while carrying a colony ship on his back!)?

Isn't the current Starhaven story that they were abducted by aliens? I remember thinking that however stereotypical the original pre-Crisis version might have been, eliminating the Starhavenites agency in initiating the migration made it far more problematic.

Continuity? We don't need continuity! We have a multiverse!
They could have used Laroo from the Silver-Age Ultra the Multi-alien. They have the same powers as Braaliens.

Well, they *could* have if, and I'm being generous here, at least half of DC editorial had collectively as much knowledge of, or love for, their own properties as any one of a dozen posters here.

So apparently the next issue of DEATH OF LEX LUTHOR which should have the Legion in it has been resolicited for March of next year.

Bryan Hitch went and said DC shouldn't have solicited it for December in the first place.

Ugh. The first issue was pretty good, and I'm looking forward to the next one, but this is ridiculous.

That sure is quite a long wait...

I'll bet it still won't be as long as the wait for Johns to finish JSA.

Not exactly an in-universe Legion appearance, but Action Comics #1059 (probably some others as well) included a tribute artwork to Keith Giffen drawn by Kevin Maguire in the style of one of those JLI covers like JL #1, portraying Giffen surrounded by several of the characters he worked on or created. Legion related are Garryn Bek from L.E.G.I.O.N., Stone Boy, and 5YL Laurel Gand.

They've been running that memoriam in all their issues.

The DC March 2024 solicits have got more Legion-related content in Justice Society AND Blue Beetle

maybe?

Justice Society 10 cover:

Blue Beetle 7 cover:

That Justice Society cover is a clear homage to old Legion covers, with the placement of the panels. It has been done several times over the years. No idea who the guy with the Legion Ring is. Must be the Legionnaire they met in the past? Looks to have brown eyes.

And that Blue Beetle cover is old school Legion costumes, however that appears to be the most recent Lightning Lad, and is that 2 Cosmic Boys on the right side?
