Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Mutiversal danglers Legion3Worlds should resolve

One of the things that's bugged me in recent years is how many plot danglers would get left hanging as creative teams changed, editors got reassigned, and the Legion got rebooted.

I would consider myself a VERY happy Legion fan if Geoff Johns could find some way to wrap up those danglers during the course of "Legion of Three Worlds."

In many cases, I beleive, these danglers could be resolved in a few panels, or even a single line of dialogue. All that's needed, to my mind, is acklowledgement of the dangler by TPTB and some sort of Coda.

It can be as simple as, "Hey, Apparition, did you ever find the cause of your son's unexplained growth spurts?" "No, but it's stopped now and Brainy assures us he's a perfectly normal nine year old."

Basically, I expect we'll end up with one DCU Legion, after the Johns/Perez story, although which on I can only guess, with the others getting probably no more than an annual crossover appearance a la the old JLA/JSA events. That being the case, I'd like to see as much wrapped up in a neat bow as is creatively feasible.

Here are a few things I'd like addressed:

1) As mentioned above, what was up with Cub.

2) If the Lightning Saga Legion is THE Legion, where does that leave TMK? Was it an alternate Earth, a Glorith/Time Trapper manilulated alternate future, just some Bobby in the shower event to be forgotten?

3) Kinetix. Is she still that crazy Golomn thing, or can we get her returned to normal. As an aside, until Johns said the "other" 31C GL is a guy, I half expected Zoe to end up with a ring.

4) Are the Anywhere Machine changes permenant or temporary, and what was that all about, anyway?

5) Is reboot Brande J'Onn J'Onzz, or not?

I have about a donzen others, but I prefer to first hear a few of you chime in with your thoughts.

6) “See Wildfire, who said battling every enemy we’ve ever faced isn’t fun?”

“Oh Yeah Sun Boy? Remind me to tell Quislet next time I see him—if I live that long!”

Then we’d know Quislet is still somewhat around, somehow...

(Great idea for a thread PB)

As long as the story is entertaining, well thought-out and internally self-consistent, that's all I ask.

If it touches upon dangling elements, that's a plus, but that's really a back-burner issue for me. Adding too much into a single story can get cumbersome. It can work, but it seems to be the exception rather than the rule.

I'm much more concerned with a post-Perez ongoing Legion series, as Johns suggests.

6) Does reboot Tinya have a third body out there somewhere? Capt. Frakes perhaps? Or, did she only have two bodies as a half-breed?

7) Why did Una refer to herself to her other two bodies being back in the 31st century. Shouldn't she have been her last surviving self?

she did...the question is where is it/her?

8) what the hell was going on with Crystal Garth?

9) will 3Boot Rokk come back from the 41st Century?

10) will Kono be publishing a book of all her in-the-shower-moments photos?

11) will Brainy get around to curing the Validus plague from 5YG?

12) Gates for UP President!

On thinking about it, I don't know if I ever want to get back to 'Phase' again. I think they explained it away enough already

Only way I would want to see any mention of Phase again is if she somehow sperated herself from Apparition and was back as a member of LEGION.

13) 2boot legion time frame. Shouldn't there be a bart allen there somewhere, along with a still very much alive conner kent?

14) It would be nice to see Cosmic Boy's promise to Dyrk Magz in Legion Worlds #3 finally fulfilled.

you know the second GL could always be Cary Wren...
oh wait...
15: The second GL is Cary Wren ^_^

Isn't one of Tinya's Bodies Phase?
or is she a Cousin....Enya?
I'm relatively certain it was explained that Phase WAS a Tinya trnasported to C20th...
and that Body number 3 had "wasted away"

Ok let's start it..
this was pre zero hour....pre glorith verse
Phase was originally Tinya who was sent back in time by the time trapper b4 the mon-el punch of v4 no. 4 to switch her with the durlan.....

post punch/glorith verse

after the punch it was Glorith who sent her back into the past to punish Jo Nah for discovering her plans with mordru and the legion and also to bring the durlan forward in time (aka RJ Brande.)

But i think instead of tinya being put in the past it was her cousin instead...and tinya was killed given how the time trapper drew tinya from her accident to the present at the end of an Era in her P costume that she had when the shuttle (from Bgztl) was destroyed.

Post Zero Hour.
Tinya is 1/2 carggitte with 3 bodies. her father sold one of her to the luck lords for his debts to them...the other one was kept by her mother unknown that she was 1/2 cargggite. we never knew what happend to the 3rd body she just "fell away" i think is what they said...(sorta like how Thia went missing from Tartus in the original pre-crisis New teen Titans comic only to turn up years later and revealed to be the Mother of Lilith). When some aliens were attacking the ship that Tinya's other body was on the one of the luck lords sent her into the past. where she ended up becoming Phase in the L.E.G.I.O.N. and the Other Body ended up becoming Appriation in the LSH (Post Zero Hour).

Someone raised the question of Pocket Universe Superboy in another thread, I'd like to see that addressed somehow.

With the return of the Multiverse, is the John Byrne Superman now the "Pocket Universe Superman"?

Will anybody ever clear up the Durlan/Daxamite Dev-Em silliness?

Mon-El or Valor? Is there a way to have both?

Lori Morning anyone?

Laurel Gand had a daughter in the 5yg as did Supergirl in Kingdom Come, will we ever see either super daughter again?

They should just give up on the continuity (or lack of) explanations, because so-called solutions like Crisis just tend to make it more fuddled. Here's my explanation for everything:

Sun Boy: "Gee, fellas - maybe hooking Dream Girl up to the Miracle Machine after we all binged at the "all you can eat and drink" Spicy Space Squid Emporium wasn't such a good idea."

Timber Wolf: "Yeah, but it seemed right at the time."

Bouncing Boy: "Have another Silverale, Brin. I wanted to stop after we sent Saturn Girl's bloomers up the Legion flag pole..."
