^^Another unacknowledged fan contribution!

Mark's letter stands out in that it's the only one published in that issue in favor of Ferro Lad's death. Every other letter contains the usual reactions of "How could you . . .?" or "I've lost my best friend" or "I guess we'll never see his face unmasked now."

Perhaps Mark's more reasonable counterargument played a role in why Ferro Lad was never brought back.

Except as a ghost, illusion, ruse, dream and reboots.

Well, if you want to get technical . . .

Oh, and flashbacks!

Don't forget statues.

And a possibly evil twin brother!

It occurs to me that Ferro Lad wouldn't have been nearly as interesting if he'd been brought back to life.

...and clones (which self-destruct).

Two part question

1. What strange thing, later retconned, did Saturn Girl tell Superboy upon their first meeting about how she got her powers?
2. What strange thing, later retconned, did Saturn Girl tell Supergirl upon their first meeting about who she was?

1. She was taught to read minds by the scientists of Saturn?

2. She and the other Legionnaires were the children of the originals?

Yeah, Like Barbara Gordon, I mean if she ever walks again it would totally...

oh... never mind.

Back to Xben's question...

EDE has both of the things I was thinking of

The "solar stunner" is a weapon from which Legionnaire's homeworld?

Saturn Girl's.

Yep. As mentioned in S/LSH #199.

You know, as many times as I've read that issue, I've always interpreted the all-caps phrase ". . . LIKE THIS SOLAR STUNNER FROM THE MOON TITAN" to mean the weapon belonged to a villain called "The Moon Titan" or to some really powerful but unnamed foe who happened to come from earth's moon.

I didn't realize until now that the weapon came from the heavenly body known as Titan . . .

Which Legionnaire was apparently still allowed to vote on whether or not to undertake missions even after leaving the team?

BONUS if you call me on what mission he or she might have voted.

Randomly going to guess ... Bouncing Boy?

Also randomly guessing - Matter-Eater Lad

I think Future has it, and that the mission in question was the investigation of the records that led to the Legion participation in the War between Krypton and Earth.

And Future does have it, with Eryk providing the mission.

Adventure # 333, Page 3, panel two, shows the Legionnaires voting as to whether or not to undertake the mission. One of the Legionnaires whose picture is depicted is clearly Bouncing Boy, even though he had lost his power and been relegated to the Legion Reserve a full year earlier.

By the way, if he votes is unclear since the art is obscured by Triplicate Girl's dialogue balloon.

That sounded like Adventure era logic, and Chuck seemed like a logical choice as one of the first Legionnaires to leave the team for extended time.

Which Legionnaire once used "Icons of Traynok" as an exclamation?

Projectra?

Not Projectra.

Shadow Lass?

Duo Damsel
