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

Has Pulsar Stargrave made any appearances in the 31st century since the Birbaum run?

No.

I had read somewhere (perhaps even on this board) that Sensor Girl's original costume... the red and white one... was very similar to that of an existing manga or anime character.

I remember looking the character up and being suprised that, with the exception of the mask, they were nearly identical.

I can't, however, for the life of me, remember the character name or find an online reference to this fact. Does anyone have any idea who I might be talking about?

I'll try and look, Exnihil, but I've got a question. I understand that there were a lot of different artists for Legion of Super-Heroes #300, the cover I mean.

Who did Gene Colan and Walter Simonson draw?

Thanks. Those guys, along with Jim Sherman and Trevor Von Eeden are gonna be at Big Apple Con and I want them to sign that 1050 Years of the Future book. Might even got some sketches...

Hmmm... no takers? Could I have imagined this?

I've continued looking, but to no avail. Here's what I remember: The character is wearing nearly the exact same uniform as Sensor Girl (same color scheme, cut, etc.) but no mask. It's a female character with short black hair. I'm not certain whether she's manga or anime based, but certainly from that general style of drawing. Additionally, I seem to remember that she is somehow affiliated with a marine-based setting, like on a submarine or in the navy, or something.

This is driving me nuts.

Not entirely true... dig out LSH: SFO #1. The giant spread by Phil Jiminez of the denizens of the Legion's era includes a member of the Dark Circle. The legend for that photo lists that character (#116) as a "Pulsar Stargrave". Though that was never stated in-story, I thought that was cute foreshadowing that the DC leader was related to Brainiac 5.1, who we later found out was his mother, B4.

Hello, I hope everyone is doing well.

I remember Mon-el traveling through a black hole on 2 occassions.

Does anybody else know about this and if so can you tell me the issues?

I was just reading a column on CBR about Canadian comic-book artists, and noticed that there are a few Canadian artists who've drawn, or otherwise affected, the Legion:

- Joe Shuster cocreated Superman, which is obviously important
- John Byrne drew the Legion in the "Death of Superboy" arc, and famously affected the LSH in other ways
- Stuart Immonen was the regular LSH penciller for a while in the early-to-mid '90s
- Win Mortimer drew some Legion stories in the '60s
- Francis Manapul was the regular artist on the Jim Shooter part of the threeboot
- Kalman Andrasofszky chipped in on the threeboot once or twice
- Alex Serra drew more issues of LSH31C than anybody else
- Darwyn Cooke drew the Spark story in Legion Worlds

My questions are, a) can anyone think of any others, and b) did Todd McFarlane ever draw the Legion?

Only if they appeared in the background of any Crisis-related issues of Infinity, Inc. that he drew.

Although not strictly Legion, McFarlane did also draw Vril Dox and Garryn Bek of L.E.G.I.O.N., as well as a slew of Dominators, Khunds, Gil'Dishpan, Durlans, and Daxamites in the "Invasion" series.

Anybody know if those Legion costume sketches that Swan did back in the silver age are available on line anywhere?

Thanks.

Never mind. My buddy, Jo, posted them on his website for me here:

I'm currently living in Italy and left all of my old comics in my American house so am unable to reference them. I'm trying to find pictures of all of the Legion family members such as Synde and Berto Ardeen, Luc and Perla Ranzz...etc. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Technically not a Legion question in the strict sense, but...

Xudar is the planet that produced at least a couple of Green Lanterns . Xudarians also pop up in a few crowd scenes in the Legion animated series. Does anyone recall whether any of them were seen or prominently featured in any other Legion stories, and in what capacity?

Anything you've got would be appreciated, as when it comes to old comics, I'm kind of in the same boat as BouncingBear. I've looked at some of the Lantern-centric sites but haven't found much stuff relating to the 30th/31st Century.

Thanks.

There was a Xudarian Green Lantern in LSH # 295, the story that revealed Universo to have once been a GL.

I think I recall seeing a Xudarian Science Police officer, possibly in the Legion 30th Anniversary issue (Levitz baxter series # 45) with the Luck Lords, Lightning Lad and Lightning Lord.

And there might have been a Xudarian amongst the heroes captured by Universo in the Universo Project story.

No prominently featured Xudarian characters, though.

Thanks for your help, Chaim.

Something else else I was wondering recently... was there ever a complete list of cities that survived the destruction of Earth 5YL?

If not, does anyone know of a list (or would be willing to construct one) of known surviving cities?

No complete list, but I believe my Legion help file lists all the known surviving ones. Those are:

Metropolis (the capital)
Melbourne
Jakarta
Paris
Tokyo
Acapulco
Essen
the underwater cities of Tritonis (also inaccurately called Atlantis) and Marsala

Thanks. I should've thought to check the help-file.

Speaking of geography, does anyone remember if the Legion-verse had its own planetary version of Switzerland, as in, "It's in my Swiss bank account" ?

If so, what was that planet's name?

Thanks in advance.

There was, of course, the Interplanetary Bank.

I can't think of anything that's really a Switzerland analogy, however.

Wasn't there some sort of Pirate's Bank back in the Dynamo Boy story? I could be misremembering.

Hi Gang,
I'm looking for sketch reference for the following characters:

Vykros
H'Hrnath
Witch Wolf of Tulva

Thanks.

Vykros to follow...
