Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Legionnaires currently in the 21st Century...lets summarize the subplot

Jeckie/Wilcox (from Superman #687) is wearing Jeckie's original colours. The older guy reminds me of R.J. Brande - maybe that's Cham... but Romundi?

If I had to guess, I'd have to go with Shrinking Violet.

Wow!

That could certainly be Cham!
Great guess!

Vi is a good guess, too!

Is the Red Torpedo a water type hero/good guy?
Black Manta is an old Aquaman enemy, I think.
And she was in the Blue Waves.

Nobody has mentioned Academy cadets in the ES, but maybe we're looking at Lamprey.

Sanderson had a wife and a long police career. Doesn't sound like a Legionnaire. Marla Latham been back there a while? I suspect he is a cop.

Lamprey as Romundi sounds good but she is probably too obscure. Would they introduce a new Atlantean Legionnaire in the ES?. Violet has been in the 31st C all through the Action arc and Lo3W.

I didn't expect this one coming. This is from the new solis:

So is this who I think he is? Is this R.J.Brande? Or maybe a totally different Durlan? He must be know to us, or it would be useless to keep his name in secret.

After looking at the preview pages in Adventure #1 I am now convinced that Nura is actually Control from the Science Police

It would seem that the Legionnaires have been undercover for quite awhile ~ definitely since before the Lightning Saga, probably all since Thom showed up in JSA.

This is a huge effort!
I wonder which came first, the LSH or the LSV?

I also wonder about all of the time incursion specifically to assist or alter the timeline.

Brainy threw a hissyfit in Secret Origins just over Kal visiting the future.
How times have changed!

I posted this on the Legion sightings thread already but is it possible that Tasmia is in the 21st C also. "Someone" sleeps with Lar in the latest issue of Superman and says "as they say, once you have Dax you never go bax."

Who else would they hook up with Lar that would make a comment like that?

I agree, I think it's Shady, too.
And the last panel she was in, everything is blacked out.

But this is Mon before he met the Legion, isn't it?

That's pretty 'shady', isn't it? Time travelling to sleep with your boyfriend at a point in his personal timeline in which he hadn't heard of or met you?

Maybe she's placing some Talokian imprinting voodoo on him, to make sure he's susceptible to her when they officially meet in her past/his future?

Talok Block-- the technique that keeps everyone's hands off your man!

Er... add the fact that she's, like, thirty-something and he's at most eighteen if you assume things are like pre-Crisis.

I would just be happy if Brande weren't dead after all. Yeah, I'm a big pushover. Sue me.

No, the Legionnaires are mid twenties.
18 isn't all that far from 24 or 25 and 18 isn't a 'kid', really.

I like the idea that it's Shady.
sorry

I'm pretty sure it's Shadow Lass as well.

But, if TPTB are to be believed then the Legionnaires in the 20th century are at least the same age as Superman at 29 (although the recent Johns penned Secret Origins showed Superboy being much younger than his Legionnaire compatriots).

There's something quite wrong with a Legionnaire going back into time and having sex with her boyfriend's younger self. What does the current Mon-El think about this?

No matter how I think about it, it's just wrong and there was no need for this "development."

I guess the current Mon-el would be thinking 'ah, sweet memories...', assuming he knows about it.

Yeah...

"Hey honey, isn't it about time you went back in time and took my virginity? You're not getting any younger."

What would've been really interesting is if Mon was involved with someone else in the 21st century, and future Shady had to stand by and watch that relationship develop, not being able to do anything about it.

The idea of sending one member of a couple back in time to have sex with the other member when they were still a teenager strikes me as pretty creepy, though.

I guess you're right.

So, in the Benjamin Button movie, the fact that he loved that one girl through all of his ages was kind of creepy, too.

Any time you mess with time, things can get a little creepy, I guess.

In Dr. Who, a woman called him for help but a time traveled younger self showed up. She still loved him. But they didn't go to bed together.
Sex messes everything up.

sigh
I'd have rathered that TPTB hadn't done it, but at the same time, I kind of like the idea that Lar and Shady were always only with each other.

I don't know why they had to have Lar go to bed with ANYONE.
And their being together wasn't even romantic or anything.

Time wise, the Legionnaires don't have to go back to a time where Superman is the same age as them.
I don't think that Superman is the important or central character, so his age doesn't matter.
They're older then Conner and younger than Supes.
They're older than Lar, maybe by about 6 years.

I want that page of explainations!

Didn't he sleep with the guardian's niece?

Yes it was Billi Harper NOT a Legionnaire

Sanderson = Cham! (Brand's son) And being left for a "fireman?" I bet in this continuity, he had married Ayla but she left him for Sun Boy while he was team leader.... (or am I overthinking?)

Having read the latest Superman I totally agree with the potential Shrinking Violet spotting...

I totally hope the girl was Harper's niece!
At the same time, that comment she made, not using her name, did they?, and having her be in shadow after Lar left would just be 'pulling our chains', then.

I don't think I like the idea of false clues to upset the fans.

Just read the New Krypton vol. 1 hardcover, it seems to indicate that Tellus has been imprisoned in the present for several years, (initially by Cadmus since before Kon-El's first appearance after Superman first "died" and more recently by Project 7734) long before the events of "The Lightning Saga" or even Zero Hour...
