In Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #72, Jimmy is kidnapped by the alien known as The Collector and brought face-to-face with five of his former transformations. The Collector and all five "Jimmys" are, in reality, Legion characters. Name the six Legion characters involved and who they portray.

4. Porcupine Jimmy - Cosmic Boy (using his magnetism to repel the quills!)
5. Giant Turtle Jimmy - Colossal Boy
6. Elastic Lad - Chameleon Boy

stile has two wrong.

I will say I'm being a bit of a stickler about one of them, but it's a point made in the story as well.

I'm pretty sure I have Fat Jimmy, Porcupine Jimmy, and Giant Turtle Jimmy correct. So that leaves the three.

I'm also pretty sure Cham and Proty were in the mix somehow. I'm guessing Proty might be the red herring, as something was made about one of the Jimmy's not speaking. Maybe Proty took the shape, and someone provided the voice or something?

Let's try this...

1. The Collector = Saturn Girl
2. Fat Jimmy - Bouncing Boy
3. Werewolf Jimmy - Duo Damsel
4. Porcupine Jimmy - Cosmic Boy (using his magnetism to repel the quills!)
5. Giant Turtle Jimmy - Colossal Boy
6. Elastic Lad - Chameleon Boy

You're right about Proty being the tricky one, but why?

I'm stuck for now. I think it's pretty certain that Collector and Werewolf Jimmy are the two incorrect ones, but I'm stumped.

let's try..

1. The Collector = Proty
2. Fat Jimmy - Bouncing Boy
3. Werewolf Jimmy - Duo Damsel
4. Porcupine Jimmy - Cosmic Boy (using his magnetism to repel the quills!)
5. Giant Turtle Jimmy - Colossal Boy
6. Elastic Lad - Chameleon Boy

Hint:

Jimmy also guesses Proty, but has to be corrected.

oh wait, was Proty masquerading as a weapon instead?

1. The Collector = Sun Boy
2. Fat Jimmy - Bouncing Boy
3. Werewolf Jimmy - Brainiac 5
4. Porcupine Jimmy - Cosmic Boy (using his magnetism to repel the quills!)
5. Giant Turtle Jimmy - Colossal Boy
6. Elastic Lad - Chameleon Boy

So frustrating not being able to remember this correctly.

I felt sure Werewolf Jimmy didn't speak and that was because it was Proty, and that Brainy was there somewhere, but apparently not.

Unless Proty was some sort of mask that Brainy was wearing?

I felt sure of the same, I distinctly remember one Jimmy not speaking, and that it was tied to Proty somehow

I also cannot remember who else was there...

You guys are remembering it right, except for the key detail I'm lookong forr in regards to Wolfman Jimmy.

Brainy wasn't there. The Collector was someone who hasn't been guessed at all yet. If anyone can get that one right, I'll explain the Wolfman bit.

Mon-El as the Collector?

Mon-El is indeed the Collector, as Jimmy discovers when he hurls his lead microphone at him, and he automatically reacts in fear.

So, the trick with the Wolfman is that it's actually Proty II, in his very first appearance. Jimmy guesses that it is Proty, and Cham responds by mentioning Proty's recent death and that it is actually his new pet, Proty II. If that hadn't been a specific beat in the story, I probably would've counted it immediately.

Over to you, Ibby!

Now I remember that Mon-El and lead scene!!

The Proty bit is a really good one... Proty I vs. Proty II! I don't quite remember it, but it makes a lot of sense!

nice Q, EDE

ok let's see...

Which Legionnaire saves Chameleon from the Air Elemental?

Good distinction there EDE. I probably would have encouraged guessers to keep trying too to get the "right" Proty. They were two different individuals after all.

Air Elemental? When did that happen? My mind is a blank. (As opposed to how it is most of the time - smile
