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

Yeah, not sure why, for example, Dawnstar suddenly turns blonde in-between pages.

Anyway, it's alright for what it is, but I had hoped for a bit more, especially considering the Legion appearance was what was advertised in the blurbs.

Surprised to see Andromeda there, even for a background cameo.

Yeah what's up with the color?

I'm guessing it's DC's lack of editorial capabilities to catch this kind of thing.

Is that Tinya in the pink costume with a cape? Yikes.

Recent trend seems to use legionnaries from various versions: Justice League United 8 (retroboot legion with more members), Last Days Of Lex Luthor 2 (adult legion with more members), DC All In Special 1 (looks like a fiveboot legion brainwashed by darkseid).

Feh.

I'd like to see a Legion with nothing but Bronze Age characters (in other words, those introduced after Devil's Dozen but before GDS.) That was the era with the most unrealized potential! Strip-mining the Levitz Mark 2 and early Adventure eras is self-defeating. Yes, those were some classic stories. That's exactly why we don't need to see them rehashed!

I just use my own head canon instead of relying on DC. The current fiveboot legion is close enough to my own head canon. For my own head canon, I would include more characters like Entropy Kid from the fourboot legion. For my own head canon, I have the legion originate from the 21st century to make it easier for legion to participate in 21st century events.

I don't "rely on DC." If I did, I wouldn't write so much fan fiction. But I reserve my right to criticize a lot of the choices made by DC.

I can understand DC has different considerations when making their decisions (such as looking for newer customers). TV versions also have different considerations but I fondly remember the legion from the Smallville tv show. I am pretty sure DC is not aware of my suggestions altho sometimes, they do coincide probably by coincidence such as having a United Planets in the 21st century which was began by Bendis (it was the Keith Giffen Invasion 1 to 3 that started to use plenty of legion related planets in the 21st century). Currently, the fiveboot legion of Darkseid is active in the 21st century which slightly coincides with how i imagine a 21st century legion would look like (I prefer legionnaires have secret identities in a 21st century high school just like superboy used to do, i tend to give secret identities to everybody including the New Gods and other gods). Preview of Summer Of Superman Special 1 (out in april) shows use of more legion characters so we are seeing plenty of legion characters in the 21st century which is slightly similar to what I have in my own head canon with most legion characters being native to the 21st century. In the past, I have suggested a legion villains vs dc heroes event to reintroduce the legion.

A certain Legion villain has appeared in the preview for that Summer of Superman special, and it's not the obvious pick.
