Lightning Lad appears in the next panel. It reminded me of a reboot issue ( a secret origins, IIRC) that listed Garth and Ayla as "identical twins." Please tell me I am not the only one that finds this a scientific impossibility...

Please tell me I am not the only one that finds this a scientific impossibility... Identical twins can express as different genders, due to hormone imbalances in the womb, and surgery can either correct or define the gender in either direction. The eternal question of Ayla Ranzz. Is she meat, or is she cake? Have we discovered the real reason she and Brin couldn't work it out? Was he threatened by having a girlfriend who was more man than he?

The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

Whereas I get way too much enjoyment from the idea of Ayla as a sweet transvestite. Who needs 11th hour 'edgy' plotlines about ProFem, when you've got a Golden Age example of a 'girl' dressing up in a skintight leotard and fooling all of her brothers best friends into thinking she was a dude?

If that's true, that certainly says a lot about Ultra Boy knowing what Ayla's like in the morning The Continuing Adventures of the Postboot Legion! You can also check out the Recap Thread here.
