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

Dreamer is going to appear in June in DC's Pride anthology, and her story's written by her actress.

Nicole is writing a story, I can't wait, I love her so much!

Here's the press release: https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2021/...nthology-comic-to-arrive-june-8-and-more

Nathan Fillion confirmed playing arm-fall-off boy (or man I guess) in suicide squad in new theatrical trailer.

I had no idea that's who Fillion was. Brilliant.

DC's Festival of Heroes will have a pin-up of Karate Kid and Dragonmage by Philip Tan

I'm sure that will inspire readers to check out the latest adventures of Karate Kid and Dragonmage!

Ooh, the sarcasm, it burns.

And now I wonder which Karate Kid will it be? Dead Val or Dead Myg?

How should I know? Who do I look like, Mr. Miyagi?

The pinup:

With what appears to be the reboot Legion in the background. For sure Jan's reboot/SW6 outfit.

Fairly sure it's SW6. That's definitely not postboot Ferro, given the Fe on his forehead, plus preboot Legionnaires is when Dragonmage was an actual Legion member.

Yep, good call. Also, Reep's costume is definitely NOT the reboot's

I had a closer look. Inferno (Sun Boy) is on the far left, beside Ferro, and Gossamer (Spark) is also on the left side in front of Leviathan. Definitely SW6.

Yep, definitely see the feathers on Ayla's costume.

Nice callback for this poster - SW6 doesn't get enough love.

I mean that's a cool poster but highlighting a character who hasn't appeared as part of a team in over 2 decades isn't really the big win for diversity they think it is, especially when I doubt there's any plans to bring him back...."we love Asians, here's one that was in like a dozen comics before some of you were born! Haha no he's long dead now go buy Batman"

Yikes DC

I completely agree with everything there raz.

It speaks to DC's tone deafness in their business as well as with the Legion itself.

DC is releasing their Pride comic next month and zero references to anyone in the Legion as they are focusing on current continuity characters only, so no callback to Ayla & Vi who were there decades before celebrating LGBT month was a thing.

That being said, if they HAD featured a non-Bendisverse character, it would have been construed as "here are characters you love, but you can't see them anymore." I may have to steal your "now go buy Batman" bit, as its brilliant.

Looking closer I see the main Preboot Legion behind KK, which also means that the older Cham appears twice! (unless the SW6 image is of that Cham before he was killed? In which case we should see Projectra and the SW6 KK there as well.)

Who is the woman in the bottom left corner of the Preboot Legion with the fancy wrist bands? Mental blank.

(I need one of those character guides with the images numbered that they used to print with the group shots.)

interestingly, that seems more like late Threeboot Cham. SW6 Chameleon had the exact same costume as Reboot Cham.

It does look more like the late theeeboot outfit, but could be a take on his Adventure Era outfit, which means they did actually give us the actual SW6 Cham (the one who is killed with KK and Projectra), rather than the Adult Cham who joined the Legionnaires team.

I have a feeling that Tan asked to draw these specific characters. Since it's just a pin-up, there was no need for it to be current or anything, so they let him. It's not really DC editorial highlighting Dragonmage; it's Philip Tan.

Nura.

This may be why I'm so confused, since they kept playing musical Chams at that point

I mean... it's a bit weird, since I'm pretty sure that character never met Dragonmage, but it's the best explanation I can come up with.

The SW6 Cham who died, yeah, didn't meet Dragonmage. Only the adult Cham did... and as the adult Cham joined the SW6 team, I also now think of him as the SW6 Cham... lol
