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

I couldn't agree more. I'm amazed there isn't more outrage about it.

In fact, I think I'm going to go off and outrage about it right now.

Seriously, it's the product of a troubled mind.

My theory is that Tyroc's power works by controlling the vibrations of superstrings .

(snip)

But if they brought back Computo II, she and Saturn Girl could have a blast taking down robots with mental powers "translated" into robot-speak. Sort of like the Night Girl-Shadow Lass thing.

Interesting.
But, I'll have to really look at it when I'm more awake and a little smarter.
sigh

But I'm all for the idea of Tyroc manipulating superstring vibrations.
Except, wouldn't that have some pretty far reaching effects, as opposed to him just manipulating air waves?
Just asking.

Two words-- "Chemical King".

I was actually thinking DnA-era Kid Quantum II. It basically explains his Deus ex Machina level powers. But it also fits very well with his most commonly depicted abilities, such as teleportation/inter-dimensional travel.

*giggle!*

As I've said about Jeckie before:

Hmmm. I was angling more for 'writers who didn't create him don't use him, then kill him off' than any real power-comparison. As in 'be careful what you wish for."

Have we established the actual ages of the retroboot Legionnaires?
I don't know how one can be a 'cougar' in your middle 20's!
I mean, without being a pedophile.

(Yeah, yeah, just sort of kidding.)

Anyone else confused by the depiction of Quislet's power here? It looked like telekinesis (Tellus's thing) when - if I remember correctly - Quislet used to bloop into things, animate them and then they would dissipate once he blooped out again.

Maybe its an upgrade...

I chalk it up to writer totally unfamiliar with the character.

Sterling Gates and James Robinson have an interview on CBR about their Last Stand of New Krypton story that features the Legion:

Near the end they talk about writing the Legion and Gates says the "ultimate Brainiac vs. Brainiac 5 battle of wits" will be in Supergirl #52 along with interesting interactions between Supergirl and Brainy.

The Last Stand of New Krypton #1


Best line comes from Starman: "The Legion of what? I thought we were the Planeteers." <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Well, the Legionnaires do not show up until about half way through or so. Then they do not do much before Supergirl leaves them in the capable hands of Zod. Who promptly plans to have them arrested.

Because, . . . <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">. . . the Kryptonians on New Krypton see him as their hero and returned him to the head of their military and protector of their new home.

Thanks Darlin. That makes more sense now.

I wonder what other cities the Legion was refering to when they said they needed to free them and set history right, the future depends on it (or something to that effect)? Brainiac has these "bottled" cities hidden somewhere? Which cities(worlds?) are they??
I'm a bit confused. Someone please clarify.

I think this refered to the list of planets from Adventure Comics #8 that Brainiac is said to have destroyed. Among them are important Legion worlds like Durla I, Rimbor and Imsk. Like the Kryptonian city of Kandor, Brainiac shrunk down one city to keep that civilization's "knowledge" for himself. Whenever we see inside Brainiac's ship, there's tons of bottled cities. The Legion mission will be to get those bottled cities and restore them to the places they'll be in the future, which will preserve the timeline.

We also know of Braal, Winath, and Tharr from Action #872.

Many of the cities, like Kandor, come from worlds that weren't destroyed, the cities were just taken.

And I'm not sure that the Legion is the one that's going to seed the planets or return the cities to their homes.

The seeding of worlds was a Valor project in the last few boots.
They were taken from the Dominators human experiments where they were given powers that translated into Legionnaires by the 31th century.

It looks like DC wants to replace that concept, having destroyed the Dominator home world and society in dotREBELS, with the bottled worlds of Brainiac.
At least, that's how I'm reading it for now.

I don't see New Krypton staying where it is now or with it's aimlessnes as a society remaining long.

I can see them being designated by the worlds that their currently causing trouble with - Thanagar, Strange's new home world for the Rann survivors, etc., to go seed the worlds over the next 1000 years.

But I could be wrong.
It's been known to happen.

In Supergirl #51 the Legion are nothing more than glorified extras. It was also hard to believe that the Kandorians could get the upper hand on them so quickly, especially since they had a bit of time to see it coming.
I hope the next insallment of this Brainiac saga is better.
Only one and a half months left until the Legion's regular title starts ... can't wait!

Yeah- it was a rare moment of truth in comic book advertising when DC dropped the 'Brainiac and the Legion of Super-Heroes' title from this storyline. I was set to write CALLING THE ROLL for the Superman/Action/Supergirl stories, but aside from ADVENTURE, they haven't really done anything worth noting. Maybe I'll reread the first batch of issues at the end of March and see if there's a CTR to be culled from the story at that point.

Yeah, Mystery Lad, the Legionnaires were just props in the Supergirl book. And unfortunately, goofy Thom was the only one who was given any personality. I'll be glad when he gets back to the 31st century and gets his meds.

Yeah, I'm hoping the Legion gets more focus when Brainy and his group enter the story (which looks to be during the April issues of the crossover).
