Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Since when did Brin get so popular?

Agreed! I love that issue, and the portrayal of Lythyl. I kind of wish more had been done with Myg, 'though, and like to pretend that anything that happened with that older Caucasian version of Myg in Legion of Three Worlds was just some Time-Trapper AU weirdness...

Did anything ever come of Brin being rich now?

Not that I know of. Oddly, I thought someone else had just posted on that, but I can't see it.

Those kids and their darn time bubbles are causing temporal ripples again...

As for Brin, there were those incidental times when he would perform super acrobatics as if to remind everyone why he was there. For example, catching falling equipment etc.

Little reminders that he had a different power set to the other strong/tough characters. So that when he did cut loose in the Lythyl issue it all worked.

Whiny Brin was not a favourite. That whole hanging around with a kid in a woman's body was super creepy and aloof, hard-to-get Brin was a total pain. So was druggie Brin actually. So, lots of poor depictions across the years.

Still, he did suss out what was going on with Sensor Girl before anyone else...

The Lythl story was a bright point in his career. It's very odd that more wasn't done with his billions-credit inheritance. I flipped through the issues of that period (up to #21) and only saw one later reference to the inheritance, Wolf wondering (again) what he would do with all those credits. Maybe it was resolved later? Maybe he was just quietly super-rich and that's why Marella grabbed him?

You'd think this was just part of everyday life in the 30th century, like someone wondering what they'd do with the figurine collection that Granny left them.

That whole experience on Lythl could have had a significant impact on his character, but it didn't. Lost opportunity, IMO.

There was probably a huge character defining arc in place... but switched it to kill Superboy in those issues

Honestly I always liked him, although there were very few legionnaires I didn't like so that's not saying much. But when I really started to like him was in the legion tv show(I only ever saw season one so I know nothing of the second) He was traumatized and experimented on against his will, and yet after that was still caring, soft, level headed, and the only character that I found there jokes funny 100% of the time and Shawn Harrison was an awesome voice. Then I read the reboot which I think is where they got the character design from and I loved that Timber Wolf almost more. This version was a gang member on the most criminal filled planet in the galaxy, and yet was a gentleman at heart and Protected the pregnant Tinya despite not having too at all. I loved his outfit, his fighting style, and just the needed extra craziness he brought to the team. I don't know if this is everyones reasoning, but this is just the reason I like him, and I know a lot of the newer generation love him because of the tv show.
