Crumbs! Starfinger is going after the Giant Hall of Fame: Stone statues of great men (no women) of history!

But who is immortalised as a statue? There are 7, and I'll need five of them for a correct answer

Ah, that was a good issue. This was the back up story in Adventure #301. Legion applicant Hope Girl stole the Hope Diamond in order to use its powers to get membership to the Legion. But the gem was owned by the Spiffany family gem empire, and they fought to get it back. Although Hope Girl's family had lost the diamond to scoundrels, and powers were only granted to members of her family, she had to return it under the UP law the team operated under. It was an early example of the team being on different sides of an issue, only to all agree that without the law, any society, future or otherwise, would not stand.

Tenzil Kem would eat the Hope Diamond two issues later as part of his initiation into the Legion. Critics look back at the issue and say that the obvious thief was the person who named themselves after it, as Hope Girl did, ruining the mystery. But Hope Girl stood for so much more than tha. She stood for an ideal. Failing that, to paraphrase Spiffany critics are "Stupid, stupid, stupid." Thanks for that question Ibby.

Sadly, you have to remember that you're in THIS universe only wink

Nope, not the Luck Lords.

Clue: this was in the Reboot, but done by a character who also appeared in the Preboot
