Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Need A Legion Reference? Post Here

any one have a pic of super boy in the costume with the red stripe down the center

Is this the one you're looking for?

No, he means the Alex Ross suit.

This tiny pic is the only pic of him actually wearing it in comic. There's a B&W sketch here and Triad gives the real Superboy the costume in Superboy v3 #45, but he never actually wears it in any core continuity.

Ahh, I remember it now.

Where is it revealed that Blockade Boy was the original clubhouse?

Also, and I hope this isn't too far off-topic,

For someone who actually wanted to try to do their own Legion Micros, where do you get the templates?

I thought it was Fortress Lad where he was used his power to become a Fortress and lost his memory, no thanks to Mnemonic Kid...I think it was one of the Annuals (Legionnaires Annual?) cna't remmy.

Now where is that from? in what book? I want to see that cool costume! Nice black and red...so cool

Yeah you're right Supes, it was Fortress Lad, Not BB. I've just heard about it not seen it, so it was a slip of the keyboard.
Does anyone know a specific annual number?

SECRET ORIGINS #46 (Dec 1989) was the first appearance of Arm-Fall-Off Boy, Mnemonic Kid, and Fortress Lad.

Its from "Legion Secret Files 3003." Superboy (Kon-El) is sparring with Karate Kid. There are a few more shots of him in the black & red suit during the scene, but to my knowledge he never wore the suit after that issue. I thought it was kinda cool looking, too.

I'm looking for a picture of Invisible Kid (Lyle Norg) Adventure Comics/Superboy starring the Legion of Super-Heroes version being shown using his power. I'm looking for some good quality art. Anybody suggest a issue for me or know of a good picture?

Here's quite a nice picture of Lyle from the Encyclopedia Galactica forum right here on this board (though, admittedly, he's only using his power in the sub-pics):

Some issues which spotlight Lyle's power that come to mind . . .

Adventure Comics # 307, 343, 345, 348*, and 358.

Superboy # 203.

I'm sure there are many others.

*# 348 has a nice cover shot of Lyle being partially invisible. Here's a link .

Who was the first Preseident of Earth who is mentioned by name in Adventure Comics? Anyone know what issue?

It might be Kandru Boltax, from Adventure #359-#360.

Ok, that takes us to 1967. This would be a good start for my campaign. Do we have anything sooner just out of curosity? When did they first indicate that Earth had a President? Was Kandro Boltax around for quite a while or did DC keep changing this name/position?

Boltax was President of Earth pretty consistently until he stole R. J. Brande's fortune and was replaced by Marte Allon. Occasionally they'd misspell it as "Kandro" or refer to him as "President Kandru" implying that's his last name (or that his culture has surnames first, like in many Oriental cultures), but it's pretty obviously the same guy.

We know that Boltax had a predecessor, whose name we never found out. He was killed by Universo (in what appeared to be an accident), and then Universo (disguised as Boltax) took over the UP Presidency and outlawed the Legionnaires.

Per the timeline as established by the LSH v4 Sourcebook, here's the known list of Presidents:

* ??? ???? - Jul 2978: name unknown (assassinated in office by Universo)
* Jul 2978 - Oct 2983: Kandru Boltax
* Oct 2983 - Nov 2985: Marte Allon
* Nov 2985 - Nov 2989: Mojai Desai
* Nov 2989 - Apr 2995: Tayla Wellington (re-elected 2991; assassinated in office by Dominators)
* Apr 2995 - May 2995: none
* May 2995 - Jun 2995: Jacques Foccart (appointed after Earth's liberation; resigned)
* Jun 2995 - Sep 2995: Troy Stewart (in office at Zero Hour)

Not all that long ago, I recall folks discussing how Duo Damsel lost yet another life over some rat attack (or something like that). Can someone tell me what comic title and issue this was in (month and year). I thought it was either the Lightning Saga or Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes but I have read both of those and don't recall it happening. So where did this alleged rat attack take place?

It was in Countdown (not sure of the issue number, but it was near the end)

Ok that explains things. When I got back into comics I told myself I wanted to only buy Legion and Legion related titles. I passed on the whole crisis countdown series thing because I had just gotten back into things and thought any Legion appearance would be minimal at best. That and I haven't really put the big picture together with what has happend with Legion since about 1980. You know, in regards to different titles, the first crises (how many crisis series have there been anyway?) reboots, etc. People have tried to explain it to me but having started so late in the game its hard to understand all the rules.

Superboy and Mon-el can fly fast enough to break the time barrier. My understanding is that it is assumed that you need to travel faster than the speed of light to accomplish this.

Were Ultra Boy or Wildfire ever shown to be capable of breaking the time barrier based on their own flight capability?

It's specifically stated in the Jeckie/Val wedding issue that Ultra Boy cannot break the time barrier by himself. It has something to do with his lack of ability to be invulnerable at the time he's using his super-speed.

I didn't think of that, it makes perfect sense that he would need to be invulnerable at the same time. Thanks so much for the reply. Do you think he could fly fast enough though if he was invulnerable? Also in the DC universe do they equate teh ability to break the time barrier with flying faster than the speed of light?

Well, with The Flash (Barry Allen) it was going faster than the speed of light and adjusting your vibrations.
