Hmmm... on the same theme, when was the planet Aarok first introduced?

Is it Legion of Superheroes (v3) Annual #4?

Much earlier than that...

Ah, my second choice was Adventure Comics #312. I think my mom has that issue.

Yeah, didn't it appear as the name under a clock or something?

Yep, it was one of the name on the clock in Legion Headquarters that kept the time on various worlds.

Next question to M'Onel!

This one may be a toughie but aw heck we're all Legion Fans aren't we?

In Legions (v2) #290, who did Wildfire suspect was responsible for the break-in at the Museum of Mystic Arts? Extra points with me if you tell me who specifically really responsible.

I think Wildfire was saying it looked like Validus, but it was really Darkseid's dark servant, the Superman clone.

Asolutely, Drake you have the floor

Question: Why was it so important for the team to discover the identity of RJ Brande's secret Legionnaire offspring?

Because Brande fell ill with Yorrgian fever and they needed a suitable blood donor.

It was "Yorggian fever", but I'll give it to ya .... funny how they didn't just test everybody's blood instead on interviewing everyone (and I guess they didn't know about DNA testing back when this was written).

Hmm. I'll have to dig out my books but I checked with the Help File and it shows the spelling I used. The planet's name is Yorrg. Could be we have a correction to submit to Chaim for the next version.

Okay, question me this:

Pre-boot Thom and Nura's romance ended. But he still ended up with someone from Naltor. What was her name and occupation?

I went straight from the source -- "Secrets of the Legion of Superheroes" #3. They used the spelling "Yorggian" with two g's (no mention of a Yorrg or Yorgg). I have no idea if it was changed in a later publication, though.

Definitely need to get to my back issues then. The planet was first mentioned in Adv. 325 and then in LSH 8 the fever was mentioned again. Could still just be a typo on Chaim's part but it would be interesting to see if they didn't do their proper research for the Secrets mini.

Then this is the same title that couldn't get it together to spell Carggg after the re-boot.

I forget her name, but she owned a baseball team - or was it batball?

Oh, I know! Marge Schott!

Heh... Living in Cincinnati, she's been quite the public figure...

Although Marge was mean enough to have still be around in another 1000 years (didn't she pass away last year?) that isn't the correct answer. Plus, had she been from Naltor she would have seen the trouble she got into for her bad language.

lancesrealm got it partially right. She owned a batball team. But what was her name?

Come on guys. Is this one really that hard? If no one has guessed it by the time I get home from work tonight, I'll give a hint.

She was Yvyya - how would you pronounce that? Did she have a last name other than "Kallor"?

She was a lot prettier than Marge and called him Thom-cat. We saw her again, I think, in the reunion issue. I thought she might have been based on the female-owner in the movie Major League and I wondered if she and Thom would stay married.

Her last name was Val and as far as I know that's the name she used. I always thought Thom married her because she reminded him of Nura. It would have been interesting to see if the marriage would have lasted. Although it was Dream Girl Thom kissed as he disappeared into Zero Hour and not Yvyya, so I guess that's our answer.

Next question to your FC.

In the Legion's first encounter with Universo, one legionnaire (of those present) did not become hypnotized. Who and why?

This is a bit random, but I'm going to guess Superboy because Rond Vidar warned him??
