She did use her illusion powers against Saturn Queen to cause the mind controlled Legionnaires to turn on her in v6 issue 3 (I think). The story requires a lot of suspension of disbelief. With her powers, Jeckie would always be able to see Orando so I don't buy her not being aware of the new Empress. I'm not sure during the Reboot what the upper limit of Gates powers was as it as he could teleport multiples but too much could put a strain on him. It was written he could teleport 200 feet but Levitz made him into a Celestial-scale teleporter. <br /><br />Overall, the action was probably the best paced out of the entire series and I attribute that more to Giffen. I wonder how much influence he had on the overall story. marvelboy74https://www.blogger.com/profile/13962731689660859167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-52731573905426862092018-11-02T15:33:24.970-04:002018-11-02T15:33:24.970-04:00I really didn't care for this one. I'm no...I really didn't care for this one. I'm not a fan of Kirbyesque Giffen. Gating all the way from Earth to Orando is a huge power jump for Gates, with no justification beyond "it serves the plot." And the way the Legion won - really? Assuming Vi could have even gotten in at a subatomic level, that should have been as effective as inflating a balloon inside an engine block.- Boston Mossnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-29975698597849843402018-11-02T10:30:26.139-04:002018-11-02T10:30:26.139-04:00I believe the Vi/Eye thing was meant as a callback...I believe the Vi/Eye thing was meant as a callback to the Reboot Vi and the Eye. Which is a nice way of doing what that series did for years: take a classic story and retrofit it for current times. Gus Casalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623081734326460781noreply@blogger.com
