Oh for Frake's sake

I was nearly there. I even remembered the hunting rights, but still thought Salu would be there for some reason.

I first read #300 before I knew anything about the critters that Imskians were dependant on.

So I always thought Salu left for some barbarous culling of another humanoid race. Later, the comic established that race as the Braalians

I still don't remember that hunting rights story.

When I read #300, I didn't know anything about the Adult Legion stories or "Shadow Woman's" death - I had no idea of the significance of what I was reading. Still loved it, though.

The Mordru story in #300 had one of the eeriest comics moments for me. It was very gory too.

To my delight, the original Mordru story was also superb, when I got round to getting it.

From DC Cosmic Teams, the Imsk conflict happened in Superboy & the Legion #232.

"The planet Imsk threatens to secede from the United Planets over a dispute involving hunting rights. When the solar system is ravaged by a mysterious shrinking plague during the annual Klordny week celebrations, the U.P. accuses Imsk of involvement, causing tension between Shrinking Violet and her fellow Legionnaires. While searching for the cause of the plague, the Legionnaires protect R.J. Brande from an assassin called Immune (Dr. Murleen Dreeu of Xorma) and eventually discover that the shrinking plague and Immune's attack are both the work of Dr. Regulus."

Actually, I just read that recently. I think it's in the last Archives. But I didn't remember that it had anything to do with hunting rights.

Name the 3 Postboot Legionnaires who were in the casts of each the following:

1) Legionnaires stranded in the 20th century during the Team 20/30 storyline
2) Legionnaires who remained free during the Blight invasion and helped free Earth
3) Legionnaires who were part of the Legion Lost cast

I can't remember who all was part of the Team 20 cast.

So I'm guessing: Apparition, Chameleon, Brainiac 5

A few uncertain points, though:
• With point #2, are you counting characters who were "Blighted" but were freed during the course of the story (and thus helped free earth)?
• With point #2, are you counting characters who were captured by the Blight but not "Blighted", and later escaped and helped free earth?
• With point #3 - are you counting characters who turned out to not really be there?

Based on your answers to these, I would change my guesses.

Chameleon was not part of team 20.

I believe the list consists of:

Brainiac 5
Saturn Girl
Apparition (I'm assuming like Xben did that she's considered part of the Legion Lost cast, even though she wasn't really there)

You both assumed correctly that I counted Apparition as part of the Lost cast.

With Point 2, agree it was a little vague. I should probably have used the term "unBlighted" rather than "remained free". Apologies if I caused any confusion. Still, Chameleon was not part of Team 20 at all. CMK got the 3 is was thinking of.

Over to you, CMK.

Three times in Karate Kid's solo series other members of the Legion were in the book as well. Who were the villains on those occasions?

Lord of Time?
Black Dragon?
Major Disaster?

2 out of 3. Major Disaster and the Lord of Time worked together, so they count as one occasion.

Lord of Time/Major Disaster
Black Dragon
Hagga of Orando

Not Hagga.

Pharoxx
Lord of Time, Major Disaster
Black Dragon

Not Pharoxx either.

Who else did Karate Kid fight...

Lord of Time, Major Disaster
Black Dragon
Lady Shiva

Not Lady Shiva (don't recall him fighting her at all).

Lord of Time, Major Disaster?
Black Dragon
Nemesis Kid

Correct! Nemesis Kid was the villain in the first issue of that series, before KK left for the 20th century.

That's the only one that's been reprinted in the Archives, and thus the only one I've read in a long, long time.

New question soon.

OK, I used this question on another thread on this forum years ago - see if anyone remembers it, with just a slight edit:

Pre-Retroboot, name three villains who died in LSH stories written by Paul Levitz who had first appeared in LSH stories written by Jim Shooter

Nemesis Kid
Emerald Empress
Tarik the Mute's robot?

Oookay, you got the two easy ones. The last one I'm thinking of is a lot trickier.

I admit I didn't think of Tarik the Mute or his robot. I guess Tarik doesn't count as he didn't actually die in the story.

I'd like to discount the android on the basis that the Legionnaires didn't consider him alive - as otherwise they wouldn't have destroyed him in the way they did (that's what happened, right? I can't actually remember).

But if you think that's being picky or unfair, than let me know.

I think it's fair.

Hmmm...
