Hey fans, I just did a bunch of work over the weekend that might titillate you... http://www.cosmicteams.com/ Updating lots of obscure stuff and data on would-be, false, and imaginary Legionnaires! Mykey

Great! Looking forward to reading them.
You've got one of the best comic book websites on the net, Mykey. Thanks for all the hard work.

Oh WOW! You *really* had a producive weekend! I can't to delve into it all! Lately I've been reading your Legion timelines which are deliciously detailed. I learned some things I either never knew or forgot, like Fenton Pike battling the Legion a second time. Originally posted by Blacula:

^ Speaking of which, I can't believe I'm just discovering the existence of this "Mystery Legionnaire" from Adventure Comics #327 now! I would have thought there'd be a dozen threads here at Legion World devoted to an obscure bit of the mythos like this one by now.
And talk about a plot point ripe for expansion. I wonder if any writer will ever reveal who this character was?
Have you made an error in his description though, Mykey? You've written him up as wearing a purple costume when it's clearly yellow in the picture.

That's the character commonly known as False-Pretenses Lad, Blacula!
I think we even used him in Matter-Eater Lad: The Series!
Some Legion fans identify him with Jan Jor, who is seen in the Legion records in the Adult Legion story!

He kicked ass in MEL:TS! His super-false pretenses powers saved the day!

Hey Blacula...
Ha! The description came from an earlier source originally said purple but I only have the Archive in which he's yellow. Does anyone have the original to check it?

The False Pretenses Lad = Jan Jor theory certainly has many supporters but remains unproven!
I've only ever seen him in yellow too.

Ohhh he's False-Pretenses Lad? Now I've heard of him. I'm surprised to discover that False-Pretenses Lad has such an obscure and indistinct origin though. You guys really know how to take the tiniest bit of Legion ephemera and run with it.  And he might be Jan Jor? I confess I don't know who that is either. The gaps in my Adventure collection are looking bigger than ever. I think I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and buy the Archives one of these days. I've been meaning to for ages anyway. I can't wait to finally find out who all these obscure characters I've seen mentioned around the site for years are!

The Archives = total awesomeness!
Which reminds me that I need to get back to reading #13!

The Silver Age Legion stories just had so many cool walk-on characters! That would never be seen or even referenced again!
The first two are def worth a grab for that alone.

Love the amount of detail on the site! It's been a helpful reference for me on the various trivia threads in Spaceopoly, which you may want to check out. I have a feeling you'll love Legion Trivia and I\'m thinking of a Legion character !

OK so for the record, Mystery Legionnaire did have yellow costume. I got an original issue and swapped the image for that one. Then I added a note about Jan Jor!

Interestingly, both the "False Pretenses Lad" name and the identification with "Jan Jor" seem to have made into this list of the weirdest Legionnaires on the MTV website. The pitfalls of using Wikipedia for research...
