I'm with NSBL in that it was Ulu. I think that Ulu was also a member in the Five Year Gap, and shows that not everyone's view of Dirk was a little tarnished by that period.

NSB Lad has it. It was Ulu / Color Kid.

Hooray! And I agree with Thoth that it's very interesting to see Ulu's reaction like this: to my knowledge, Ulu and Dirk hadn't interacted on-panel all that much, and Ulu was one of the Gap Legionnaires and I don't think he was chosen at random to be the one to have feelings about putting Dirk out of his misery. I feel like there's a part we're missing re: Dirk and Ulu's relationship in their short tenure together in the Legion that was unseen.

Trivia Time!

Can anyone named all the known villains (just the LSH Baddies known to be in the pods, and not the other characters) held in the Weisinger Chambers in the same storyline mentioned in the previous question?

Hmmm how many are there? Sounds fun though, let me begin the list...

Caress
Flare
Does Grinn count?
Does Ronn-Karr count?

fun question...

I'd just like to add that I thought I'd missed out on Legion stories involving Drake's brother. It was frustrating until I read they just made him up. Not one of their better ideas (pictures Fickles popping up with "they had *better* ideas? smile )

In that issue where Universo subdued them, there was Charma (or sister thereof) and Black Mace.

I think Holdur and Quicksand might have been in there too.

Charma was dead by then, I think it was her daughter with Grimbor, Cocheta. But good catch.

And yeah, funny how Drake suddenly had a brother named Squire who was also an anti-energy being in a containment suit...
Granted maybe the Dominators gave him those powers but still...

Caress and Flare would count, but Ron-Karr and Grinn were not held in the Chambers at any point, and it was Charma's daughter and not Charma in the Chambers, correct. And yeah, Squire out of left field was _very_ odd...

And Holdur was in there, but Quicksand was not; I can tell you that we're missing three that definitely fought the Legion they had in the Chambers.

Ghost and Elastic were never found in the Chambers.

And those would not be the three!

I thought you were onto something when you mentioned Ghost and Elastic Lad. That was the fun take on the Fantastic Four with Flare (from the fatal five) and someone called Alloy. Mostly taken out by Sade (who really annoyed me right from the start, as a clear writer's pet.) Legion super fan Flynt Brojj was there as were Crystal Kid and Catspaw.

I think you're right with Absorbency Boy.

I remember Myg being in there (technically Val was opposed to him on Lithyl smile )
Polecat was there. I've no idea if he ever actually fought the Legion but you never know.
Radiation Roy? He'd be another former applicant. IA bit of a big hitter for the chambers.

There's someone I'm mistaking for quicksand... gah!

Sade...man she coulda been fun, but there was like _nothing_ to do with her; she was too 'kewl' to hang with the Subs but not enough of a jerk to be an out-n-out villain...

And Absorbency Boy and Radiation Roy were two of the others! Myg was there but ain't _really_ a baddie laugh

One left! I guess the W will go to the person who gets the last one?

Quake Kid! I was thinking of Quake Kid. I just tripped across the name on The Return of the Mack thread. Except he was just a failed applicant... bah...

Since Roy was in there, I was thinking of Spider Girl. That's led me to Ben Pares. He was part of the text pages that introduced Spider Girl later on, and he may have been captured trying to get the artefact she ended up with.

What did Superboy persuade 4 Legionnaires into doing when he visited Legion HQ for the Christmas holidays?

Well my dirty mind thought of a range of festivities that were probably not Comics Code approved

So I'm pretty sure THAT didn't happen

I'm thinking Ibby is right on this (it rings a bell)... but I'm going to go with... finding Santa Claus and getting justice for all the children who don't get gifts

Ibby has it in one! There was me thinking that as it didn't appear in a normal Legion comic, it would be a little tougher than normal. I'm not sure I'd read it before either. Garcia-Lopez and Giordano art!

Over to you Ibbster!
