So happy someone else is asking Reboot trivia  Was it Mano during the Chu sting? Mano realized Tharok was going to bomb an innocent planet, and would have none of it. Mano at that point was more of an anti-hero, and would only kill for a purpose.

Seeing the aftermath of him disintegrating the robot portion of Tharok was a great moment.

Agreed. That version added a lot of depth to Mano, and made him stand out from being a generic villain.
Which Legion homeworld was described as being so "remote" and "backwater" that they had a major inferiority complex - including towards Earth and the Legion?

you got it! was a big detail in the Reboot, and part of the reason why Xanthu formed the Uncanny Amazers

I didn't really think this through...strting tonight, I'm going to be off-line entirely for over a week. If someone else wants to post a question, feel free, otherwise, I'll post one when I return. No need to bump to remind me, I'm knowingly away.

have a good week off, CMK!
I'll throw one out.
At Leviathan's funeral, which Legionnaire could barely stand to speak to Gim's grieving parents?

Nope. Vi was possessed by the Emerald Eye at the time.

Imra?No scratch that. Kinetix? She and Vi had been pretty close at one stage.

It WAS Kinetix. She and Leviathan had had a flirtation going on (though nothing too serious). Some of the Legionnaires commented after though, that Kinetix could barely stand to speak to Leviathan's parents. And before the funeral proper she broke down in front of Leviathan's statue too.

Sounds familiar. A well done scene if memory serves. (Yet another prod to read the Reboot. It'll happen one day.)
What two compromises did Brainiac 5 make to be allowed out of the hospital at St Croix?

It was indeed quite nice. Also nice were Gim's parents telling Winema Wazzo off for wanting to take the Legion down, saying that Gim wanted to be a Legionnaire and died a hero - and that they didn't blame the Legion at all.
Hmm...
Brainy: to be monitored by a doctor? and to only use his flight ring to move around?

To be monitored... by someone?
And to repair the hospital's something (because they know Brainy is a genius from the future)

Being monitored by someone or something is one of the conditions.

If its original continuity I have no idea.
If its 5 year later B5 monitored by Laurel Gand (?)
If its reboot continuity I'd guess he has to be monitored by Shvaughn Erin and have his homework done by next class ? Lol , dunno the 2nd part in any iteration

Some hints. This is original continuity. Brainy has been in the United Planets Medi-Center on the island of St Croix after his breakdown resulting in the creation of Omega. Superboy came to him for aid after several other legionnaires had fallen to a new foe. After Superboy is also felled Brainy is able to arrange to leave St Croix to help but on two related conditions:
1. He will be monitored continuously by ... something.
2. ... Something else.
There's the context. Does that help trigger any memories?

Thanks for sharing the context! doesn't quite trigger the specifics though. but I'm guessing this is when he enlisted the Subs to beat the Super Assassins.
hmm what could work here...
was #2, to promise to return at a certain time / after a certain amount of time had passed?

Yes you have the right story. One more clue - Monitoring someone is fine but what do you do if the monitor reports they are acting ... aberrantly? Hence the second condition.

A fail-safe to shut Brainy's mind down is implanted in him...?

A fail-safe to shut Brainy's mind down is implanted in him...? You're thinking too hard. Firstly the "monitor" was not human so in stories from this era what else might it be? Secondly, if you are concerned about a person's possible criminal and destructive behaviour and already have a way to monitor that, what is the simplest way to try and make sure he is stopped if that comes to pass?
