Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Recent Legion-verse sightings in DCU proper

Oh good, it's not just me...

Gosh, did I love seeing Timber Wolf all leaderly. I'd forgotten how much I loved that character. I'm not in love with whatever reddish tint they had going on with his skin, tho.

I will say I am right now the bigger Legion geek than my husband but he has the longer history of legion love. The other night we took a look at the preview of the map for the upcoming Heroclix Legion set

and I pulled out the Who's Who to check out all the interlat. I was struggling wiht I think thats a c and that's and o while he just spit out the words.

now... This one is from
Countdown 39-35
"Karate Kid ventures to Oracle for answers."

It's like my own comics Reeces Peanut butter cup. Two great things that go great together!!! LOSH and BOP

Also
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #8
"Plus, Starman helps Power Girl make a startling discovery concerning the 52."

Tee Hee what could it be... Now obviously we know 2 things... 1 neither Val nor Thom die or are sent back to wherever they came from.


Oh and we have a Dox sighting of some kind over in Booster Gold. Since Brainy is so closely connected to booster and time travel I think it's Querl. but it could easily be Vril

Did anyone catch the panel in Countdown 51 when the rogue Monitor is ranting about all the anomalies threatening the Multiverse? There is a LSH sighting in those panels. Both the pre-boot Karate Kid and members of the WaK Legion are shown on screens as multiverse anomalies.

There's a new Booster Gold series? What issue features a Dox?

Well the cover of #1 at least

Not sure if I should post this here or in the JLA/JSA crossover thread...

I was reading a review of JSA#2 (I don't normally read JSA) and the reviewer said:

"Starman says that it’s coming. The Great Disaster. That he has to find her and him and her. That She’s talking to him and he doesn’t know and he has to find them all before the storm."

Does anyone have a scan to that page? I'm just wondering what it means for the crossover...

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Karate Kid</span></span> is in Countdown #49. <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Locked up in the JLA Satellite.</span></span>

about that Legionnaire being locked up in JLA satellite - makes me wonder why that particular Legionnaire was seen wearing different (Kitson-designed) costume in the Countdown poster alongside Triplicate Girl. Speaking of Triplicate Girl, will we see her in Countdown? *puzzled*

When that poster/cover for Countdown was released, I don't think it had be revealed that the Pre-Crisis Karate Kid was going to show up in JLA. So while they were planning to use that version of KK, they didn't want to tip everyone off and instead showed the WaK version.

Look Ma...Pulsar Stargrave!

Looks like we might be seeing Validus in "JLA" soon...

Injustice League

Looks like one more reason for me to hate when they bring Legion characters to the regular series. The writers seem to feel a need to add something to the characters that the Legion writers didn't.

Either the crappiest Validus yet or worse, they are insinuating some ancestor. Blah.

Well, if 80s LSH continuity is back, there's no telling how far into the past Darkseid sent him. He could have lived as Validus for c. 1,015 years before being born!

I have to give a firm "ick" as far as the inclusion of Validus in this.

You know they're just going to treat him as a generic "big mindless strong guy".

Validus on Earth in the twentieth century should be a bigger threat than Doomsday.

tis a good point but his inclusion here makes him a pretty well known commodity. Would a 1000 year old (or older) Validus stick in the craw of established biography much?
Originally he was what, stomping around some little backwater with no known origin, which was later amended to being a creation of Darkseid. Even though we hadn't seen him before his first appearance I think Shooter established the Validus was a pretty well known character, everyone feared him. So he could have been around a thousand years just beginning his second millenium. Everyone knows about those terrible twos.


In the second boot, I believe he was actually created by some planet to be some weapon or some such? Can't remember exactly, but I hated it.


I'll take the unique bastard creation of a God version (no history, no planet full of them, no other dimensional versions of him....) and second EDE's ick.


For me, Validus is (was) a very nearly perfect creation by both writer and artist. No dripping saliva, bloody scabby scars and other schtick generally used by artists to try and create a nightmare. Validus is so simply drawn and his personality so simply defined, he's one of the best tragic characters in comics. Doesn't need nor want refining. Adding boots, costuming, history (eye's lol, who was it that drew eyes on him?)... ick, ick, ick.

Brave and the Bold #5 must take place after the Lighning Saga, right? He'll be meeting different versions of Karate Kid, Star Boy, Jeckie & Brin.

Well, it looks like it takes place after the Dominators War; no Cosmic Boy.

Nice job with Kitson's designs.
