Why wouldn't they? Should we care? Isn't sandwich preference someone's personal business? Or is there a deeper meaning to this question? Isn't this topic too existential for this board? or should that be too phenomenological? I get so confused.

So, what do you guys think: were Garl and Englen one of the Legion's first gay couples, or was one of them a (very androgynous) chick?

(They were later revealed to have a daughter in TMK!)

Hmm... I suppose it's possible that they were *both* really androgynous chicks...

Does that mean Englenna was adopted?

Garl and Englen were two close friends of Mon-El from the Adventure era. The Time Trapper, disguised as Chief Wilson, once threatened android duplicates of the two of them in an attempt to force Mon-El to reveal the secret of the Concentrator.

Englenna, who was said to be their daughter, later served as Laurel Gand's nanny.

Englenna's name just came up in the Female Extraterrestrial Models thread over at Bits. Someone thought she might have been a Dominator. I suppose that's something she had to bear a lot.

Englenna could be described as having a great personality, but...

Maybe with all the current focus on Mon-El in the DCU, we'll find out more about his friendship with Garl and Englen!

Bah! Still no appearances by Garl and Englen, even with Mon-El being leader and Green Lantern and stuff!

I can only conclude that Paul Levitz is biased against androgynous lesbian aliens.

Garl and Englen will be the two most popular baby names 1000 years from now. But they might be ape babies.

That just proves how cool those names are if any culture wants them.

Coleopteron inheritor of earth: Hi, my name's Garl!
Pod People takeover: On my planet, I was given the honoured name Englen.
