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

Ok, in the comics they claim that Validus is more powerful than Superboy/Mon-el etc. so I ask....

Is Validus considered more powerful in Strength?

Is Validus considered to be more invulnerable than Superboy/Mon-el?

I recall seeing stories where Validus knocks Superboy unconscious. Do we have any where Mon-el or Superboy beat up, knocked out, defeated Validus through brute power?

Validus is definitely stronger/more invulnerable than Superboy/Mon-El. I believe, though I can't cite a reference offhand, that he's actually more powerful than the two of them combined.

That's what I wanted to hear before I put his stats together for my RPG.

Thanks Much!

Would anyone be kind enough to re-tell or link the "current" origin of Superman for me. After all the changes DC has made I'm not certain "what is what" anymore and would like to have the character updated to the latest version..I assume with the new 52 it was altered again?

Also, what is the current maximum weight he can lift? This seems to keep changing too.

Also in need of a good Heat Vision picture from one of the Legionnaires, no re-boot pics please.

Superman's post Flashpoint origin is still unfolding. So far, we know that he is still from Krypton. We've had glimpses of Krypton. Jor-El and Lara are still his parents. Jor-El is still predicting the destruction of the planet. Visually, they look different from previous versions.

The Action Comics story is focusing on Clark's early days in Metropolis. We know that the Kents have died. Superman's powers are not yet fully developed -- more at the "leaping over tall buildings in a single bound" level - but he is getting stronger. He wears jeans and a tee shirt as opposed to the traditional Superman costume. Clark works for the Daily Star - not yet the Daily Planet where Jimmy and Lois work. He and Jimmy are already friends, though.

Kandor was stolen from Krypton prior to its destruction. Perhaps by Brainiac, but the brief images we've seen of the villain so far have an insect quality.

Because it is good story-telling, perhaps?

Fans who are used to being told everything up-front only seem to look for reasons to dislike everything.

What's wrong with sitting back and seeing where a story goes, rather than expecting everything to match ones preconceived notions? I love being surprised by a good story that takes its time to unfold.

If anything, the need to fill in every little info-gap dries up the story faster, and feeds the need for more frequent relaunches.

Comics are for entertainment, not tech-manuals. Remember 'wonder' and 'imagination?' I'll bet most of us got into comics because of them. When did looking for things to complain about become the primary reason for so many who still read comics?

that's certainly your right to feel that way. It just seemed a bit premature to me to be saying such after only a few months.

but if it ain't worth $3 and a monthly wait, that's up to each fan to decide.

Thanks for the insight on Superman's origin changes. I'll have to wait like everyone else to see where it goes.

Does anyone have any scans for:
Lume
McCauley's 2nd WorkForce
Ghost 6, Alloy 14, Easti-Kid 5, or 5YL Flare
Rush
Ringtoss
Jagged

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

You can find a scan of Rush here:

Thanks, SK. That image is exacty what I needed!

What were the name of those bodyguard guys from the threeboot? They were like brothers or something and read comics?

Bodger and Bonce, iirc.

As in a rhinoceros with a bodger on his bonce.

Thanks! I've discovered I've blocked out most of the threeboot from my memory.

Except the part where those two guys were reading some old Adam Strange stories!

do not recall them in the slightest.

That's the sort of post that makes me want to bump Kent's old "Reboot was right" thread

I'll bump it for you

There were a few minor Threeboot characters who were bright spots, though. Theena and M'Rissey come to mind.

Merry Christmas!

Sarcasm Kid found a great pic of Rush for me, but I still need:
Lume
McCauley's 2nd WorkForce
Ghost 6, Alloy 14, Easti-Kid 5, or 5YL Flare
Ringtoss
Jagged

Thanks. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Certain question over what exactly the "second" Workforce is, but I presume you mean the "Rifts" team after the last remaining originals (Evolvo & Spider Girl) are fired



[Note that "Helios" is an H-Dialed Lori!]

In need of a good Heat Vision picture from one of the Legionnaires, no re-boot pics please.

Can someone please tell me (for the continuity checklist), what is the earliest reference to Phantom Girl being able to disrupt electronics? I know it was used before now, but I don't remember if 1) it was ever used outside the reboot and 2) if it was used before Kitty Pryde, who had that as her schtick.
