You see Ayla doing jumping jacks... does this story take place before or after the cellular trim ray?

Wow, Vi, way to show off the goods! This panel is scandalous!
BTW, is Lu not wearing shoes?

Imra's going to be mad. Everyone's dancing, but no one is singing.

Perhaps they were singing:
When the remaining boy members return,
A month from now,
We'll destroy them, too!
We'll change the club constitution
So no boys can join,
Ever! - Ugh!
How I hate them!
(With backing vocals of "Kl-lang! Kl-lang!" it has a nice rhythm, don't you think?)

For some reason I cannot get past the Queen saying "Behold me on your space-monitor."
Just seems overly simplified for even kids.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

Okay, so, Saturn Girl commands her boy-hating girl posse to dance and this how they get down wit' it:
Shrinking Violet - ballet
Triplicate Girl - an Eastern European folk dance
Phantom Girl - a hula
Supergirl - the Twist
and finally, we have Lightning Lass - who's doing either jumping jacks or spinning her boobs around like a stripper
Very telling.

I did a couple of quick image searches for Ayla's dance, and I found similar images of Beyonce, Madonna, Creed and Wayne Newton.

It's nice to see Imra smile, anyway.
Poor Forte.
He had absolutely no ability to draw anyone with grace of movement.
This scene must have been torture for him!
A singin' and a dancin'
along the way.

WAITaminnit! Does the above panel imply that for a solid month, only the lass Legionnaires were available in case of a crisis? Fodder for untold tales, I tellsya! ![[Linked Image]](http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/MLLASH/betty_001.jpg)

 Some father. It looks like he made her mouth extra wide, too. I thought fathers were supposed to know how to give good gifts! It looks more like he was making her to be a terrorist suicide bomber. Another era. sigh

Has anyone ever been transformed into a weapon / super-person by their scientist *mother?*
Night Girl, Timber Wolf, Big Mouth Betty up there, all got experimented on by their dads (or, in Karate Kid's case, not experimented upon, but definitely trained intensely).
And what's up with that, anyway? In the 30th century do fathers no longer settle for reliving their own glory days by enrolling their kids in various sports the kid has no interest in playing, and instead go all out and try to turn them into super-heroes (or villains)?

Are you sure you want to try out for the Legion Betty? Your costume makes you a shoo-in for the X-men.

Betty looks more like some random American Flagg extra to me. Even the face with the Julia-Roberts-proportioned mouth. If I could see that her footwear featured teeny tiny 5" spike heels, that would totally clinch it.
Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on ipernity! Drop by and tell me that I sent you. *updated often!*

She does look Chaykinesque.
The first thing that pops into my mind is "X chromosome"--which, I guess, explains her "obvious" talent.
The second thing is I'm glad I sat out this era of Legionnaires.

I liked this era of Legionnnaires. Loved Sprouse's art despite his love of the mullet.
I always get X Bomb Betty mixed up with the girl who thought she possessed Inferno. Must review those issues!

They look like an Eighties pop synth group. Possibly from Germany.

"X-Bomb" I guess the 'insert X in front of something to make it sound all futury' thing is put in here more as a joke, but damn it still makes me cringe. And the costume is pretty bad.
What I want to know is what Garth is looking at in the second panel, for a teenage guy they don't seem to be looking where they are supposed to be.

Isn't "x-bomb" standard slang for a super-powerful bomb, expanding on a-bomb, h-bomb, etc.?
As I recall, Dirk is definitely staring (and commenting) in the next panel.
