I don’t know many of the “whatever happened to …” stories but I’d assume, unless the character is from the future, there aren’t many Legionnaire names that would work. Rokk probably isn’t a common name in this century.

Not Batman.

The child's name is one letter off from the Legionnaire, but phonetically the same. There's also a reference to the Legionnaire's super-hero name in the scene.

Was the reference to Gim Allon? So maybe, a Flash family member is the correct answer?

It is not a member of the Flash family, and Gim Allon is not the Legionnaire referenced.

It is not Dirk Morgna who is referenced.

Think about which Legionnaires have a code name that might describe a child.

Bouncing Boy? Like, Bouncing Baby Boy?

I'm totally blanking on any other super-hero who might have married their enemy and named their kid "Charlie/Chuck" or "Taine".

It is Bouncing Boy!

And it is a "bouncing baby boy" whose name sounds exactly like "Chuck Taine", with a slight difference in spelling.

We'll see if anyone else comes up with the parent(s).

It is not Batwoman.

This is a character whose stories are generally considered to be set on Earth-One, though his first appearance was in an anthology that also contains stories of members of the Justice Society.

With that last name, it has to be the western Johnny Thunder, whose real last name was Tane. As should be obvious, I did not know that he was featured in one of those stories.

It is John Tane, mild-mannered schoolteacher of the old West, who adopts the dynamic identity of Johnny Thunder!

In DCCP #28, he teams up with and marries Madame .44, and they have two children, including Charles "Chuck' Tane, which, even if it weren't made pretty blatant by the emphasis on "bouncing" and "boy" in the panel, has been confirmed by the writer as a reference to the Legionnaire.

That's some really nice-looking Gil Kane art!

Aside for a saddle for its rider, what does a kangobronc wear when racing?

Clever Saturn Girl, for not letting that stop her

lessee...

Reboot Chuck Taine was hired as an architect to help repair Legion HQ. What was one cause of delay, that he built in a monthly contingency for? (that is: what was one persistent, most common, cause of delay?)
