Who is that?

She's one of the members of the Science Police we've seen in Superman, Wilcox.

But obviously that's a certain princess who snapped a certain douchebag's neck for killing her husband.

No, no, right; it was the Wilcox answer I was looking for.

I know. I just wanted to type the second sentence for the fun of it.

Her name 'Wilcox' is vaguely reminiscent of all those names she had in the threeboot (Wilhemina Vauxhall, etc, etc). Chemistry Teacher Lad's civilian name is also evocative of his Tromnian name.

I wonder if any other Legionnaires in the 21st century have hints buried in their names?


The above reminder of her killing Nemesis Kid also makes me wonder if Nemmy had a family somewhere. We know he came from an 'alchemy planet,' and is the only person we've seen from there, which opens up the possibility that, before his fall from grace, he was a world's champion, like Shadow Lass...

I knw that Brainy mourned Supergirl 1000 years after she died but mourning someone 1000 years before they are born is pretty weird.

Obviously Jeckie knows Mon is not dead. Presumably she (and the others) are there to rescue him?

From an AR perspective all Wilcox appearnces are now Jeckie appearances.

wasn't it great to see her?????i just have a gut fan boy feeling that this is so much of a set up to something so big in the legion universe.

wonder if there's a harper somewhere in the legion time.

oh another thing...isn't it interesting that the legion sci cops when they were first created.

oh yeah this jeckie revelation totally confirms my suspicion that our waiter friend is Cham!!!!

That revelation came as quite a jolt! Not a long-lasting one, since several other Legionnaires have been revealed as currently in the 21st century. Let's see... Jeckie, Tellus, Element Lad, Starman, apparently Dream Girl... I'm seeing Cham around every potted plant. Infectious Lass from the Dr. 13 story (though I'll have to see it explicitly linked up to 'current' LSH storytelling to accept that one).

Who's left from that 'missing grouping' from LO3W?

Matter-Eater Lad and Tyroc. Is that it?

I'm eager to see the purpose behind all of this, assuming there is one beyond 'get them out of Absorbancy Boy's range'.

Sad to see Jeckie referring to herself as widow once again, isn't it? Especially because we really didn't get to see her with Val at all. I wonder if there's any chance that whatever brought him back before the Lightning Saga will work/be used again?

Giffen's little opposite-of-crush seems so petty, doesn't it?

Also Quislet. And, you know, Magnetic Kid, if you have him as a Legionnaire.

So if I want to keep up with all the Legionnaires scattered about the 21st century, I want to read, what, Superman? Not Action? Please advise.

Yeah, it looks like the main 21st Century Legion storylines will be taking place in Superman. Pretty much just keep an eye on whatever James Robinson is writing. Tellus showed up in the Guardian one-shot Robinson wrote. Robinson is also taking over JLA soon and Mon-El will be a member, but who knows if he's going to put any Legion plots in there.

Other than that, Adventure Comics (at least until Geoff leaves) and random Mon-El appearances in other Superman-related books.

Sorry, I just got that issue and hinted at those pages on another thread, about Mon.

sigh

I should have known that wouldn't get by anyone!

Oh, and on another note:

Cryo King said to look for LSV characters in the past, as well.

And I still think Cham might be the Despero that is talking to Edge.
The real one was killed by Starro recently.

that's what I have been trying to ask on this thread and no one seems to be interested in speculating this -

http://www.legionworld.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=11;t=000575

Yes, of course we are interested.

It's just unexpected and a little overwhelming because now we have to search everything all over again.

Sun Girl, you say?
And yes, Geoff could have very well have planned her appearance long ago.

The problem now is, will any of the 'fill-ins' and then Levitz follow up on any of this ground work that Johns worked so hard and long to put in place?

One sighting ~ in Superman #690, Guardian gives Wilcox a team leadership because even when she was off duty, she captured a villianess, Carnivore, using the chain of her handbag.

She got highlighted in 2 panels.

Also, in that issue, not only did Tellus turn back Ion, keeping him from meeting Lar, but he gave Tellus memory crystals to give to Lar about Daxam.

Tellus swore to give them to Lar.

(Forgive me if this last part has been recorded here before, I haven't had time to go back too many pages, yet.)

Now which issue is that? Superman #691 or #692? Which one do I have to hunt down?

#692. The current issue reveals another Legionnaire. Mon's friend Mitch isn't who he appeared to be.

who??? Chameleon? Tenzil?? Tyroc? do tell us!!

You were right the second time.

really? oh boy can't wait to get that book next week from the mail.

You can't find something healthier for dinner at the beginning of the 21th century than a car . Imagine he would have eaten a burger or chickenwings. Unbelievable!</span></span>
I hope they don't send Porcupine Pete, the moment he arrives he will die out. Welcome to the wonderfull 21th century, you Legionnaires!
