Super Lad?
Super Kid?
Super Adolescent?
Super Son of Krypton?
Super Waif?
Super Orphan?

They don't quite have the same ring do they? Pay off the Siegels I say.


I've always wanted a Legion/Teen Titans team up with the original Titans Mystery Lad mentioned. Throw in the Hawk and the Dove too! When we FINALLY got a team up in that dreadful Universe Ablaze 2-parter, the plot was so abysmal it wasn't worth the paper it was printed on.

I couldn't agree more.

Still, what would the word "Krypton" mean to those it was meant to inspire? If Mon-El was great adopted as a code name for Lar Gand, why not just use Kal-El? Or Kon-El, for that matter? At least Joe Q. Non-Meta-Human sitting at home reading the paper wouldn't be trying to figure out what it meant. Also, I would hate to see a whole slew of inspired copycats with names like Neon Girl, Helium Lad, and Captain Radon.

KK, well Super"boy" insprired the entire Legion to call themselves boy, girl, lad, lass, kid, etc.

If he called himself Kal-El...would they call themselves Garth-El, Rokk-El, and Imra-El? wink

You could never have Gim-El and Gym'll in the same room together... too much confusion.

... is Super Boy an infringement of the trademark? It's kinda like Ultra Boy (as opposed to Ultraboy)

I'm sure classic Legion moniker "Marvel Lad" would allow them to avoid any nasty copyright/trademark issues! wink

I don't know if you're serious about the Marvel Lad monicker, EDE, but I'd be okay with it, even though I'd never thought of the idea myself before. Maybe it could be explained that young Kal-El feels the need to adopt a secret identity when he's in the 31st century for some reason. Besides this, I've always liked the brown Marvel Lad costume.

Oh, I can't imagine that li'l company would have *any* problem with "Marvel Lad and the Legion of Super-Heroes"! wink

But, seriously, it's groovy to finally find someone else who likes the Marvel Lad outfit! I'm a huge fan!
