Rokk took one look at Jan and knew it was going to be one loooong weekend.

Weisinger decided that Satan Girl was a much less controversial name than Lucifer Lass or Devil Damsel.

I actually do find it kind of surprising that the name was considered okay by the CCA.

The CCA also didn't seem to have a problem with "The Devil's Jury" (Adv. 370) or The Devil's Dozen (Adv. 350-51), so, apparently, representations of ultimate evil were not considered harmful to children.

It seems to be an odd thing about comics compared to other media. As I recall, The Demons Three were changed to something else (The Three Ghosts or something?) when they appeared on the Super Friends cartoon.

"... I can do more things than all those girls together"
Surprisingly, Jan and Lyle weren't moved...

Too bad all the remaining trees in the forest were killed by the radiation from the meteors... not to mention all the fish in the lake...

Cos could similtaniously use his Magnetic Vision and his Scotchguard-Meteorites-So-They-Don't-Burn-Up-Upon-Atmospheric-Entry Vision. Superboy was never more ashamed of his Put-Back-Together-the Wall-Of-China Vision.

Rokk seems pretty inconsistent about wearing that bubble over his head. Perhaps he was building up a tolerance to earth's atmosphere at the time, and only needed it to 'catch his breath.'
Wow, magnetic eyes. There's a power to never turn on while visiting a cutlery store.
"Aiiee! 10,000 knives, all headed straight for my eyes!"

Re: the space helmet. Perhaps Braalians were affected by allergens in 20th century earth air.
What really bothers me about this scene is how Superboy doesn't even *try* to defend himself. Humility is good, but Kal needs some backbone! If the Legion didn't trust him enough to buy the "saved a city from a falling satellite" story, why would they want him to join anyway?

Good thing the American Family Association never read this, or else they would've picketed the DC offices!!

Little Violet just thought of reason #39 of why she should have kept the Emerald Eye.
Now that Salu finally had a twin, Alya keenly awaited family holidays on Winath.

I don't get that page at all. Whose the dude? The black and green outfit makes me think Rond Vidar. Is Sunbeam a pet name, or is there a character named Sunbeam present (perhaps off-panel?)?
Since we see Violet shrinking in the first panel, and she's roughly the same height as Zoe in the next one, I get that this is from the boot where Colossal Boy was dead and Violet had his powers (since she must have just shrunk from giant size), but I'm not hugely familiar with that Legion...

The Dude and Sunbeam are Shrinking Violet and Lightning Lass, respectively, from 5YL. I don't recall the details, but somehow they show up in the reboot to interact with Kinetix and Violet (who can shrink naturally, and acquired Leviathan's power to grow). 5YL Vi has met the (yet another)SW6 version of herself before and so feels qualified to give "herself" advice on life.

Doh. I thought I had it all figured out, that the 'dude' was Tenzil, and not Rond! ('He' looks kind of Tenzil-ish, to me!)
Turns out 'dude' was a lady. Cue Aerosmith.

For Set . . .
So never judge a book by its cover
Or a 5YLer by her lover
Kid put me wise to her manly disguise
She had the body of Tenzil
Lord imagine my surprise
Dude was really a lady
Dude was really a lady
Dude was really a lady
Dude was really a lady

I like how Kinetix' outfit can't decide if it's an evening dress or a traditional super-union suit.
Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on ipernity! Drop by and tell me that I sent you. *updated often!*
