Zaryan as a Khund: Zaryan, who was originally a space-pirate who tried to invade the Earth using robots and a "some assembly required" space-ship, suddenly becomes the leader of the "First Khund Invasion" of Earth.
[/QB]
Wasn't Zaryan mentioned as a Khund in the Who's Who in the Legion of Super-Heroes? So maybe the editor Waid is responsible for this rather TMK. Not sure. Jorge

Next up - the Legion of Super-drug-addled-cultish-Villians. For some reason, the LSV was rejiggered into having been run from behind the scenes from it's earliest incarnation by Cosmic King (remember that his earliest in-continuity appearance was during the LSH/LSV war) who we are told was using drugs on the other members and was sort of a creepy Mordru-worshipping cult figure. The only thing I can think of to explain this was that maybe they wanted to give Spider-Girl (and Ronn Karr to a lesser extent) an "out" for her LSV membership in order to transition her to semi-hero status. When was this? I enjoyed a lot of TMK, but I missed this completely.

It didn't really play out in the series itself, but was referred to in the Who's Who series from the period (the "loose-leaf edition") and in the Mayfair DC RPG Sourcebook which had background info written by the Bierbaums. It might have also been mentioned in the text pages concerning Spider Girl, but I can't remember now.

I vaguely remember a dialogue bit where Sun Boy and Lightning Lad are in a conversation and someone mentions the death of Kid Quantum. I swear this happened several issues before James' dramatic return. Wasn't that amusing? The Legionnaire that never existed suddenly turns out to be practically a founder and we never knew it. I felt somewhat insulted by the writers but I liked the character so I didn't complain about it.

It makes sense that anomolies arose from Glorith and Rond reconstructing the timeline.
In TT time, Glorith would have never invaded Antares II, so there was no need for a Soul of Antares. In G time, we have an anomoly, Kid Q, and his hiding in plain sight - in the LSH, makes sense, as does his absence for all those years while he was in hiding.
I liked how the Brande/protean rights images from TT time were paralleled by his meetind with the seven intelligent Proteans in G time. With most Proteans unintelligent, there would have been no Protean rights movement, thus McCauley was spying on Brande for reasons other than worrying about if his former pet might rat him out.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

I ask ya, where in the world do people get the idea that Legion history is complicated?
heh heh
I really did like that whole run of her as a major bad guy. Glorith: The Time Trapper was a pretty sexy villainess.
