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

So all indication is the that the Mon-El that's appearing in this issue is the Mon-El from Supergirl and the Legion, right?

Anyone want to venture a guess as to how it is that the Lightning Saga Legion also has a Mon-El?

See, I liked Dev-Em. My favorite storyline with him is the one where Dark Circle kidnapped him and he has Kryptonite poisoning, that was my first exposure to him and I thought it was cool that there was a security agency (can't remember what's it called) and that Dev-Em worked with them over the Legion. I dunno, it just seemed unique. T

hen I learn later (through Showcase Presents) that he was a complete meanie to Superboy but then comes to the 30th century and finds his own way, I just thought it made him very interesting.

Now I learn that that Dev-Em disappeared YEARS ago and the other versions all seem to be psychos. to me a juvenile deliquent with super powers who does spy stuff is SO much cooler than super powered psycho, we have tons of those. Oh well, it's not like I ever thought I would see him again aside from back issues.

Anyone else find it odd that Supes didn't know who Mon-el was at first. Even though he has a statue of Mon in his Fortress of Solitude.

I agree. When it comes to the Legion his memory is spotty it seems. Yet he has the PC Legion statues. Wierd.

There is some pre-crisis precedent for this, in Adv 300 when Mon is temporarly released from the PZ, Superboy is excited that Mon-el might be cured. When he should be distraught that he's been in there for over 1000 years.

This aspect of Dev-em I really liked too. It fit in well with the political intrigue and helped keep the book from being a "who do we pound this month" comic.

See, I always thought Superboy was a real jerk for not offering to fly the cure BACK 1000 years. Instead he makes Mon-El stay in horrible confinement for a millennium. Seriously, Earth's Greatest Hero? Most like WORST FRIEND EVER!

I have to agree. Why is Superboy going to let present Mon-El suffer for a thousand years. Jerk.

Because he's already there in the 30th century, and he can't change history.

I bet he tried take the serum back a few times, and it always got broken in the time stream and stuff.

Good thing for Clark he didn't take the serum back, or he would have died prematurely. In 1962, Mon-El was able to save the adult Clark's life because of his special vantage point from the Phantom Zone in The Last Days of Superman .

That story, in which the Legion took part, happened before Brainy invented the permanent anti-lead serum. So if Clark had wanted to carry the cure back in time, the Legion would have realized the consequences and prevented him for that reason alone. Maybe they did fiddle with his mind a bit.

He should have released Mon-el from the phantom zone in the 20th century, transport him to the 30th century and then give him the cure.

I thought it was just because he was disoriented due to adjusting to the Phantom Zone.

btw,in JSA #7 I hear XS is mentioned. Wonder what they say?

Thom continues to babble in JSA 7. "There's a crisis in the future, though having tea with those 2 other Thoms was nice."

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text"> It is when Superman is talking to Thom. He asks Thom if the reason the Legion was there was to bring the Flash home. Thom responds "From the vibrational plane! zip! zoom! The Legion of three worlds! Do you remember XS? She had a crush on you."</span></span>

Wow.

It appears I forgot t load up page 7 last night. I'll have to take care of it when I get home later.

I have two comments to make on the recent Legion sightings:

1) I'm sooo excited that XS is mentioned! That means this Thom (and presumably Nura, Jeckie, Dawnstar, et al) know her! Bring back XS

2) Please get Karate Kid's uniform correct. It changes from one book to the other.

:-)

Yeah the XS comment and the two other Thom's comment means we are going to have a BIG meeting soon.

Maybe there will be a remix Legion after all? I can't see DC choosing a Legion over another. Leave the multiverse!

Pi$$es me off that they made that Eaglesham cover a variant. Even worse that they don't preview the variant covers so I could make an informed decision whether I want to spend $6 preordering it.

ENOUGH with the 1:10 ratio variants!

And while they're at it, enough with the Alex Ross pin-up style covers.

Yeah I know. They could've let us know there was a variant with Thom Kallor eating a sloppy Joe. I mean..c'mon! That's a great cover!

Did anyone notice that the phrase "Earth 2" is scrawled on the table next to Thom's tray?

Yup.
