Does anyone have a reccomendation of villains for Supergirl to fight? The player would be condicting a solo mission in my Legion role playing game and I would prefer to set in in the 20th century. I'm looking for someone that is part of her mythos and that can go to-to-toe with her.

Where in Smallville does Superboy live? In the 1060's - 1970's comics the house looks like its in town as well as the Kent Genreal Store. if you turn to the movies, he always lived on a farm. In the Convergence issues of Legion he is living on a farm.
So where does he live?

The standard Silver/Bronze Age continuity was that the Kents moved from a farm to the town of Smallville and took over the general store shortly after adopting Clark.
Many other continuities have him always living on the farm, however. Convergence, despite the fact that it was supposed to be the pre-Crisis Superboy, seems to have just messed this up.

How powerful is Wildfire compared to Superboy, Mon-El and Blok? When he uses his Anti-matter energy blasts can he injure any of these individuals without breaching his containment suit? If he went all out and blew out of his suit how would be fair against these other Legionnaires?

A quick look at the RPGs places Drake in the same category strength wise as Brin Londo which is a big step down from Lar, Jo or Kal. But it's around that of Blok. In ERG-1s origin I don't think Drake said he was as strong as anyone.
In terms of resistance, he's about the same as all the others, but behind Blok. However, Drake ahs the vulnerability that if his suit gets pierced, it's game over. So, he may be really resistant to attacks that he can actively defend against. But then it's up to the suit.
Superboy walks through a burst of Drake's energy in one issue (214?) without a scratch. It could be said that Drake wasn't going all out. He is powerful enough to destroy the HQ. But the really invulnerable Kal & Lar would get through that, as would Blok and Jo.
While I'd imagine that prolonged anti-energy exposure would affect them, Drake is all about bursts of energy, so I'm not sure the fight would last that long. Blok & Jo would be the most likely to fall first, but Kryptonians and Daxamites would be relatively safe.

In World's Finest #284 Wildfire blasts the Composite Superman/Amalgamax saying that while the C-S might have the invulnerability of Superboy, Mon-El, and Supergirl, none of them could withstand the full force of one of his anti-energy blasts (which sets up Amalgamax explaining that he's actually as invulnerable as the three of them put together, and thus the blast doesn't affect him).

In the DC Heroes Role Playing game Legion of Super-Heroes VOlume 1 Sourcebook they list Wildfire and Pulsar Stargrave as having a power called Starbolt. I cannot find a description of this power anywhere and I'm wondering if anyone here can provide it.

It became Energy Blast apparently. For Wildfire, using starbolt at more than 34APs will destroy his current containment suit.

Oh, Starfire will probably be a good example of someone with the power.

here we go...lurking in the back of the cupboard...
Starbolt
Link:Str Type:Standard Range:Normal Base Cost:10
This enables the hero to shoot bolts of energy from his fingers. The stream of energy issues forth with maximum range of APs of distance equal to the APs of the power. Starbolts act as physical attacks.

Thank You so much. My version lists Starbolt for the characters but it doesn't appear under the powers in the game. The game instead lists Energy Blast. So they are the same?

I've been trying to find information online about the Dark Circle, specifically the Preboot Dark Circle, but I can't find much of substance. Could someone please identify the five aliens in the image above, and refer me to some resources, if any exist with substantial Dark Circle information?

Who's Who in the LSH is the best source, but I don't have it handy.

I own WWitLSH, too, but it's hundreds of miles away in storage.
I was actually hoping maybe for images of/references to...believe it or not...the 5YL Dark Circle. I own the relevant issues, but they're also in storage far away.

Hi, has anyone encountered any species with rabbit-like features in the DC Universe? Preferably with Legion ties, but if not then the larger DCU is fine. I'm planning on using one for my fiction.
