It must be super-weird to Blok that humans make statues and buildings out of stone.

Blok seemed to find most everything weird and odd, in a childlike way.

Brin was a good character to pair him up with, both sharing some naiveté

You can have good characterisation with glacial, nowhere plots, and epic plots with no characterisation. But Levitz managed both well.

Totally. I still get impressed at how Levitz pulled that off, and for so long too

Like Wolfman with Perez, having a collaborator like Giffen, will have made it fun and inspiring.

Nura's new catchphrase of "It's clobberin' time" takes readers by surprise.

Gasp! Remember the scene where Silver Slasher was about to attack Nura? And we didn't see what happened?
Well, having broken yet another nail in combat, Nura replaced them with inertron nails, clobbered Silver Slasher and replaced her! That Nura we saw afterwards, was just the standard Supergirl robot that Brainy insisted be part of all Legion cruiser supplies!
Another Legion mystery solved.

Exactly. And we always wondered why Nura appeared unhurt. It all makes sense now.

And fits in nicely with Nura's history of spontaneously trading places with a villain! See also Mystelor!

that's two villains Nura has stolen identities from! Who's next, the Emerald Empress?

Didn't someone masquerade as the Empress once? Wait, I think it was Cham - maybe?

And Duplicate Boy didn't do anything about it.

Duplicate Boy was pretty ineffectual after that.

Did they set him up with someone to get his confidence back?
