Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Early Solit for LSH #12 - Spoilers?

Since Mark Waid says he likes to keep us off balance and that whatever we're expecting to happen is wrong, here is my most ridiculous guess that is almost guaranteed not to be true:

Lemnos, like Legionnaire Lemon, is actually Mon-El with the letters scrambled (and an extra "S" to throw off fans). His memory powers are an illusion projected by someone else. Either he is on a super-secret mission for the Legion Espionage Squad, pretending to be bad in order to root out the real leader of the villains, or he really is bad, driven insane after 1,000 years in the Phantom Zone.

How's that for a crazy guess?

Oh, and I hope Waid bucks expectations, and doesn't kill anyone. Or if there is a death, maybe like EDE suggests, it's a flashback to a death that occurred sometime during the year between when the Legion formed and issue #1.

You know... "Praetor" is almost an anagram of "Trapper" as well...

This sounds very plausible. If the entire Threeboot takes place after Infinite Crisis, and the death somehow ties into IC, this could have happened during their first year.

Leeta 87 joins and dies in one issue!!

Maybe the founders didn't manage to save RJ Brande this time. Revealed now in a flashback.

I wonder who is involved in the death scene??? My guess is Cosmic Boy. But he may be on the cover right under the flag. I hope it's not Star Boy for crying out loud.

On the cover I can guess Colossal Boy, Cosmic Boy(?), Cham, Brin Londo, Invisible Kid, Ultra Boy, Saturn Girl, Princess Projecta, Phantom Girl, Light Lass, Element Lad, Triplicate Girl, Lightning Lad, Sun Boy, Shadow Lass, Violet (heh...is that her crazy hair between Brin and Princess P???).

Star Boy may be on there as well. Anyways it's a death scene....hopefully not a Legionnaire's death...but i have a feeling it will be.

I say kill off Cosmic Boy.

okay okay here what I have identified so far:

Bottom (non-flying row) - from Left to Right:
Triplicate Girl, Saturn Girl, Brainiac 5 or Karate Kid, Chameleon, Ultra Boy, Cosmic Boy, Princess Projectra, Atom Girl, Shadow Lass, ? maybe I-Kid??, Micro Lad

Top (flying row) - from Left to Right:
??female figure??, Phantom Girl, Light Lass, Element Lad, Lightning Lad, Karate Kid or Brainiac 5?, ?? , ?? (both too small to be Id'ed), Sun Boy, and Star Boy (top on the edge of the flag)

So who re missing: Dream Girl, Lone Wolf, Invisible Kid...

maybe Lone Wolf and Invisible Kid are the small specks that I could not identify....

Better not Dream Girl being killed!!! no no no! unless she cut her hair to be IDed as an unknown female silhouette??

Bah! to Leeta 87! I want Hate-Face!

By that time a downtime issue would be long overdue. In issue #13, they should all be forced to use the Kissing Machine to make up and be friends.

I fully support Tromium's all-kissing issue idea!

I think the return of Kid Pyscho just in time for Infinite Crisis is the only way to go! After all, is he not a Silver Age Legionnarie?

In all seriousness, I hope we don't get a death scene either. But I like the idea of a flashback to Ferro Lad's death scene.

I think it is important to recall that we were warned of a "death scene," not the death of a Legionnaire. For that reason, I agree with those who speculate that the death will be a flashback. If it is "on panel," I'm guessing it will be a supporting character, an SP (one of Lyle's parents?) or a one of the multitude of ringless Legionnaires.

I'd also agree that all of the threeboot is post-Crisis2.

Death scene? Maybe someone steps on Atom Girl but nobody notices...?

Turbans are the new black!

What the--a kissing machine!? Did such a device ever really appear in a Legion story. If so, please do explain. And if not, that's okay, too, because you made me howl with laughter in any event, guys.

Do you know what? The kissing machine reference made me realize for the first time how good the Legion could be if it were to be given the same comedic touches that made Justice League International so much fun to read back in the Giffen days. Even the taste of silliness we got with Tenzil Kem in the 5-Year Gap was tantalizingly (sp?) fantastic.

There was a famous scene where the Legionnaires were using the "Big Computer" to determine who would have the most fun kissing whom.

Ayla is shown kissing Cham, as Lyle laments the fact that Star Boy never seems to have time for romance...

I believe it did. It was random. I seem to recall people wondering who Jan would have to kiss. My memory is sketchy on this, though, so it could be that he kissed Shrinking Violet.

That kissing machine incident involving Light Lass and Chameleon Boy, as well as Phantom Girl and Ultra Boy dancing the "Shurg"...was that the same story where Star Boy gets tried for killing Kenz Nuhor?

Yep! Brainiac Five and Superboy were busy playing an intense game of Spaceopoly at the time.

Jan is shown gleefully operating the controls of the big computer, while Vi seems to be waiting in line behind Cham to be the next to kiss Ayla.

i hope somebody dies!!!

I really hope they don't kill a Legionnaire. The whole "new super hero team has to face trial by fire and lose one of their own to forge a bond" schtick is SO tired. And killing Legionnaires has become even more cliched. Is there anyone left who hasn't been killed in one timeline or another?

kill em all!!!

bwahahahahahahahahahaha

no, KISS 'em all!

Well, if they were going to bring back old Legion machines, I'd want that solar system thing, where the planets spin around super fast until one flies off and bonks someone in the head, thereby choosing him/her to lead the next mission. Future Democracy in action.
