Big dumb fish.).

Maybe "he" belongs to some freaky alien gender that we don't have on Earth!

I think Tellus is a he. And us is a masculine suffix. He'd be Tella if he was a she. At least in Latin class.

How many issues and pages now has this annoying GLC sub-plot been going on for that could have been spent showing some of the long-neglected members of this team? Or given us exciting new developments that are wholly Legion-specific? That's what I would have rather been reading about for the past few months and in this issue.
I agree that I like my Legion with as little normal DCU influences as possible BUT I think to sell comics these days they need it. So I don't mind a Supes, GL (which are popular right now), and Flash influences. If we start getting a Batman influence then I am going to have a problem.

The one slight problem I have with this though is if this GL Monel is in fact a Durlan imposter then why would Dyogene pick someone so sneaky/unethical/potentially evil? This goes against some basic Green Lantern ethics, no? Hey, I like what I came up with just now ... "GL Monel". Has a nice RING to it don't you think?? Ouch. Sorry!  Maybe we can just refer to him as "Green' el" from now on.

Durlans can't copy superpowers, so if this Lar were a Durlan, he wouldn't have any extra-abilities to help in the current crisis that Dyogene was talking about.
EM would have picked up on the Durlan issue when he copied Lar's powers earlier, too.

Maybe Dyogene's trying to start an evil Green Lantern Corps? That would be a really great twist actually! I should be writing this book!

I guess I'm more OK with Mon being GL than I thought. I always thought he was redundant with Superboy, Ultra-Boy, even T-Wolf around. Now, he is distinct (although I can't help that he looked like a version of Superman with that hair in a GL costume). With Mon-el as a GL, this would give him plenty of reasons why he has to be away from the Legion. He's a one man Legion unto himself and way too powerful to play among the ranks of his teammates on a regular basis.

Mon was at least a part time member before Ultra Boy, wasn't he?
And he's certainly a full time member, which Superboy hasn't been in what, 40 years, if ever?
Something else else like that, anyway.
I thought Superboy and Supergirl were part timers.
I KNOW he was a full time member of the Legion long before Timber Wolf.
That makes THEM redundant, imo.
(Yeah, I disliked his hair, making him look like Supes, too.)

The one good thing about making Mon a GL is that surely, hopefully it makes Sodam Yat completely redundant and they can quickly kill him off before he starts crying about something again.

"Before he starts" would mean he'd have to ever STOP.  I am with you though...we really don't need two Daxamite Green Lanterns, so I'm hoping this is an excuse to either kill off Sodam or at least send him way off into Limbo for a good period of time...

Mon was introduced early on in Superboy. Later, still before Jo is introduced, Lar is shown again, in the Phantom Zone, but this time with Legion founders in the story (and the Brain Globes.) Jo passes his initiation in the next Superboy. Then, in Tales of the LSH, is that in the same Superboy issue?, Lar becomes a full member. So, yes, Jo became a member just before Lar, but Lar appeared before Jo and featured twice before UB appeared. That's what I was going on. I think it's pretty valid, although Jo was a member just before Lar.

Hope that Lar doesn't start with the crying now that he's a GL.
So what.

Sodam needs a new ring, perhaps magenta or rose in color, that is powered by soul-crushing despair. He'd be omnipotent!

"The Secret of the Mystery Legionnaire" In the first Archives, there is no index and there are no Superboy covers with numbers. So, thanks for giving some details that they don't have. Lar was shown in Adventure #293, in the LSH Traitors issue, which the Archives placed in order before the Jo Nah story. I really need to explore more beyond my own library, which I might have said before. Senior moments are such a drag.

If you look at the first few pages of the Archives, down at the bottom on a left hand page, I believe it lists the issues that have been reprinted, though it doesn't say which stories are from which issues. The following link should help. It lists all the Legion's silver age appearances in chronological order. Unfortunately, it doesn't include Mon-El's first appearance, since the Legion is not mentioned in that story: http://www.studiosanning.shawbiz.ca/legion_of_super-heroes/chronology/index.htm

Thanks! My Archives have tables of contents in #2-#12. #1 just has the little blurb where you said I'd find it!
