Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Recent Legion-verse sightings in DCU proper

Never thought of this before but Plastic Man and Tenzil are written these days with somewhat similar characterisation, at least in terms of their throwoffs in the midst of - well anything. I mean they are still different since Plas seems a bit nuts whereas Tenzil is sane but just ready to joke at anything. Still I wonder what a meeting between the two would be like?

Could Plas be immortal and migrate to Bismoll at some point? Those malleable mandibles of his could be the start of the inhabitants' power.

He survived - what, 3000 years? - with his particles scattered all over the ocean during that Obsidian Age story...

XS appears in Flash today in a group shot of the Flash Family. It's the first time she's ever been referenced in this run.

For that matter her costume and appearance is the same, so either the Flash team didn't get the memo about Bendis' Legion or the new group IS a next generation deal.

That they remembered she's Black is a huge accomplishment for DC.

Just what I was thinking of

I , would be happy to see her back.

I always did wonder what her and her father's ethnicity was. At times the art made her dad seem South Asian...

IB, my vibe from him was always South Asian, as well. It seemed a nice variation to me.

glad i’m not the only one who thought so KK I liked it too, yay for representation!

I'm pretty sure at least one of the creators has said he was meant to be South Asian.

GUYS.

The season finale of Young Justice has a Legionnaire in it!

Thanks!

From Teen Vogue Interview -

Well Doomsday Clock made it clear explaining Millennium won't be much of a problem, because

To be fair to Johns, I very much doubt this was the ending he had jntended when he teased Legion in Rebirth. It's a product of Legion being given to Bendis, complete with free reign to come up with an irreconcilable version.

OTOH, Legion was given to Bendis in significant part because DC got tired of Johns & Frank enjoying the whooshing sound of deadlines flying by. Between that, and Johns losing his exec position in the fallout of the JL movie bombing, Johns no longer had the clout to enforce whatever his vision was for a reason. (Notice how his Shazam series' scheduling has also gone sailing merrily into the sunset).

There's some irony in that Waid's last run was undermined by Johns being given free reign to introduce his take on the Legion in the first place.

If Imra was erased of the timeline in Doomsday clock 11.... what happen with the Emerald Empress or Linnya Wazoo, and the complete BGZTL dimensión?
Another time DC editorial don't have respect for the fans....
I hate Didio...and Bendis so much.....

Well Linnya wouldn't be affected because she's from the present day, and the Empress vanished after her role in Supergirl.

The geoff johns planned post doomsday clock legion is maybe back in hypertime. Should be easy to do a bgztl retcon so that it also has many non white races. For the Bendis fourboot legion, I will just pretend that it is a next generation legion in the 32nd century.

Regarding Doomsday Clock -

In one of the shots before that, we see a waitress (not sure if it's the same one) from behind. Blonde ponytail....

Hey has anyone been following the United Planets Superwatch in Morrison's Green Lantern comic? They're basically a proto-Legion made up of obscure Silver Age characters like Luma Lynai and Halk Kar.

I remember them appearing in The Green Lantern #9 back in July and saw some discussion back then, but I haven't been following since. Not a Morrison fan. Any good?

Now in Flash 750.... Wally says..." The Justice Society and The Legion Of Super-Heroes... they both reappaer in the timeline.. Moments and Memories once erased .. return. But time and reality are not fixed only adjusted... This needs investigating ..how is this new version of reality different?"
This give me a hope that maybe Wally can bring back the classic Legion in some point...
And XS in a splash page with Flash Family.

AFOB makes the scene, along with the rest of his family, in this week's Jimmy Olsen #9!

I've finally picked up From Beyond the Unknown #1 - the 100 page giant that has a new LSH story from the classic Levitz period. I had to order it from Midtown Comics because I was tired of the hold on new comics.

Vi is still in her Grell outfit, and Cham is still red, but Jacques is in it. So maybe it's around the Great Darkness Saga?

It definitely has a classic vibe to it - the effective teamwork, the danger of relatively nameless villains, some of the dialogue between Legionnaires.

Dawnstar is solid in it - her powers and her attitude really shines in it.
Colossal Boy feels off. His dialogue is a little too 'dumb beefy cop' for me - rash and a bit of bluster.

All in all, 8 pages, 9 Legionnaires for $4.99. Which is not so bad if you consider the other 92 pages of story. Unfortunately I had the Adam Strange/Superman and the Katma Tui stories already.
