Official Legion of Super-Heroes Thread

[Supergirl]

Well, I grabbed the first 4 issues the other day, and loved them. When I go back tomorrow I'm picking up #5. Question: Was Brainy that egotistical pre-Crisis? If so what the hell did Kara see in him?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Brainy was pretty egotistical in the Foundations TPB that I read (the story where Conner "Superboy" Kent ends up in the future to help the previous incarnation of the Legion out against Darkseid). Pretty much the only person he wouldn't condescend to was Invisible Kid. It was handled in a more comedic way than the current Brainy is though.

 

[Supergirl]

Oh okay, even though I'm a huge fan of both the Pre Crisis S-Boy and S-Girl, I never got into Legion. I just knew that Kara and him had quite the thing at one time...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Pre-Crisis Kara goes in for the nerds, huh?

 

[Supergirl]

She also went for Atlanteans, normal humans, and alternate dimension superheroes. It may have been Brainy's green skin that did it... Gar may have a shot

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Atlanteans, you say? Aqualad?

 

[Supergirl]

No, some sorcerer dude, if i remember correctly. He was one of her first romances.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Arion?

 

[Supergirl]

not sure, let me check my issues real quick

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Arion was an Atlantean sorcerer from the distant past. He was set up as Power Girl's grandfather in post-Crisis continuity, until Johns debunked that with an issue of JSA where Arion's soul tells Power Girl that he lied to her.

 

[Supergirl]

Hmm can't find the one that references the Atlantean, but I'm sure she did Though she also had a love affair with a shapeshifting horse

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That's... disturbing, but not entirely surprising considering it was pre-Crisis. Those pre-Crisis comics were weird.

 

[Supergirl]

Found it, the Atlantean was Jerro. The horse was none other than Comet

 

[Supergirl]

In fact, heres a couple panels:

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That's... gross.

 

[Supergirl]

Oh, here's one thats somehow even worse...

[KingOfDreams]

I'm liking Mark Waid's take on the Legion of Super-Heroes, though so far I've only bought one issue (either #2 or #3, I forgot which).

 

[Tropico]

Hahahahahaha! Supergirl is TOTALLY freaking out in that pic! Look at her face.
Poor Kara, I hope Comet didn't have some horse left in him when he turned human. Otherwise, she would have been in for a BIG surprise! (Yeah, I know comics from that era would NEVER go there).

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I never thought comics from that era would ever go to a place where Supergirl would bone a horse dude in the first place, so who knows?

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

More like Super ho......


Sorry

 

[Supergirl]

The Supes one is almost as bad as that Batman "Robin, what have I done to you" pic that floats around...

On topic issue #5 ruled. It gave me a new sig

 

[Doc Destruction]

Um, ewwwww.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Oh, here's one thats somehow even worse...

My dear GOD The shame.

 

[twylight]

Wow, look at the class who used to post in these forums!

TMOB!

....I never got into Legion....

You have now.

Anyway, on the topic of the thread.

I have to say I love this series. I picked up #6 early this yearand then I went back and bought all the back issues.
I'm a little dissapointed in the way they seem to spotlight the certain characters. It's mostly Cosmic Boy, Brainy and Invisible kid.
I hope they put a little bit more variety into it sometime.

But all in all It's one of my favorite comics.

 

[Varient]

I was a big fan of Mike Grells Legion,.....
This new group,... Eh,... I'll give it six more issues.
