Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Legion Trivia 4

Only including the living characters seems like a pretty stupid and arbitrary decsion (in my completely unbiased opinion of course) when you only have to include those 4 or so dead characters in order to get a poster that accurately represents the entirety of the Reboot Legion.

And Jiminez couldn't even get that right anyway could he? I seem to remember thinking a long time ago that there were a couple of dead characters that managed to sneak onto the poster. Villains I think. Roxxas maybe? Can't remember what his status was at this point. And the Sun-Eater?

P.S. Who is the wolf-man next to Caress in between Rokk's legs? And the unshaven guy on the right in between Garth and Rond? I assume they're from the Planet Hell storyline but don't remember anything about them.

Roxxas was believed dead, but, given that Andromeda survived, it seems likely that he did as well. Still, you've got a point.

Wolf man is Bandarkat, I believe. I'm guessing unshaven guy is the Planet Hell warden?

Since we're on a tangent about the poster, to whom does the invisible or transparent foot between Lightning Lad's legs belong?

Those would be Invisible Kid / Lyle's, SS.

I enjoy that poster to this day. That's a nice quality scan of it too - rare to find! It's somewhat daunting to see all these characters who have been neglected or never re-imagined since.

Presuming you mean Live Wire, the fact that Invisible Kid is right beside him should be a clue!

Edit: Ah, Future beat me to it. Still, while we're here...

I did some cleanup work on it (also some colour-correction - Vi was given a grey stripe for some reason). I've got a bigger version somewhere or other, but that one I'd uploaded some time ago, along with a clean-up/merge of Moy's diptych from the Team 20/30 crossover.

Left to rot...

It would only be a clue if one was familiar with Invisible Kid's postboot look. And my saying "Lightning Lad" should be a clue that I'm not.

So, EDE, got a question?

No, but I'll think of one soon.

Okay.

The Metropolis Space Beacon was nearly toppled in a battle between which two characters?

M'onel and Tharok?

Nope.

Hint: Both characters would normally be considered super-heroes.

Umm...was this when Colossal Boy and Duplicate Boy were fighting?

Nope, not those two!

Hint: these two characters are often portrayed as close friends.

I don't know why I'm so blanking on ideas for this question.

Superboy and Mon-el?

You've got one right!

How about Mon-El and Ultra Boy?

Mon-El and Ultra Boy it is, after Ultra Boy's supposed criminal past is discovered in Adventure #316!

U Boy gets away while Mon-El stops to save the space beacon.

Your turn, xben!

I remember that now, but it was just a guess at the time.

Back in Best of DC Blue Ribbon Digest #24 (dated May 1982) there was a feature that listed all the Legionnaires and gave a bit of write-up on each one. (This was the digest that featured the sequel to the Adventures-era "Colossal Failure" story).

Which two characters were described as embodying "patience" and "impatience"?

Did the Blue Ribbon Digest series have original stories in it? I thought it was all reprints. Has this Legion story been reprinted in the Archives?

Guesses - Phantom Girl was patient and Ultra Boy was impatient?

Here's the issue listing at LegionWiki: http://www.legionwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Legion_Publication_History/1979-1982#February_4

I'm guessing Blok as patient and Timber Wolf as impatient.

Mon-El as patient and Lightning Lad as impatient?

Thanks Reboot. Looking at the date of it, it seems like it will be a while before (if?) it appears in the Archives.

P.S. That Legion wiki has really come a long way since the last time I visited it. Well done to whoever has been maintaining that site!
