The mystery of the vanishing world and the reason behind the (seeming) reform of many "space criminals". Neither was, to the best of my knowledge, ever addressed again.emsley wyatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905667921221387365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-71244548763605748292021-03-13T21:38:47.199-05:002021-03-13T21:38:47.199-05:00I wonder if Cosmic Boy's experience with the &...I wonder if Cosmic Boy's experience with the "Knights Tempus" was what led (one of him anyway) to end up as the Time Trapper (one of him anyway).emsley wyatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905667921221387365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-22889151117644014042018-10-29T13:19:48.836-04:002018-10-29T13:19:48.836-04:00I'm thinking either Johns or Levitz or both in...I'm thinking either Johns or Levitz or both intended on revealing Mekt's twin was now Validus, which would explain why he was around yet no longer Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl's son.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880694292714559500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-23331174267404951852018-07-15T00:26:21.058-04:002018-07-15T00:26:21.058-04:00I got one for you: Whatever happened to Aria?

One where Clark Kent became Superboy, maybe have Kara's ship land earlier, while he is still Superboy, or her ship landing causes him to become Superboy, and acknowledge all the characters from the different variations as existing. Whether they remain with the team or not would be up to the writers. Then just keep the stories in the future, so they don't have to "fix" anything.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06136305679777405304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-63275767427436694252018-01-24T23:21:47.603-05:002018-01-24T23:21:47.603-05:00Did any of you other "old timers" think ...Did any of you other "old timers" think you'd missed an issue when you first read that Mordru story?emsley wyatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905667921221387365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-80518466241195676392017-09-07T16:53:29.431-04:002017-09-07T16:53:29.431-04:00Yes!

That's the one dimension we know for sure she didn't go to. She said as she was doing it that she was phasing away to someplace from which she could never return, and Tharok echoed that in the following issue, saying she'd gone somewhere past her ability to ever return. So, clearly not Bgztl, since she can shift back and forth between Earth and her home dimension at will. Where she went and why she'd never be able to get back are mysteries. I hold out some hope that she'll end up in the main DC universe's 21st century and become the new Phase in L.E.G.I.O.N.Sean Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515754298549076131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-76969713531886545932017-09-04T19:41:01.092-04:002017-09-04T19:41:01.092-04:00Laurel Kent to me represents one of these unfinish...Laurel Kent to me represents one of these unfinished plotlines. Laurel was clearly a biological entity while she was at the Legion Academy evidenced by her being shot and wounded with a Kryptonite bullet. She was tended to in the Academy infirmary where her identity as a Manhunter robot would surely be uncovered. It seems more likely that she was abducted and replaced by a Manhunter than actually being one from the start.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406939479275750338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-7876409657936282462016-12-10T23:02:44.748-05:002016-12-10T23:02:44.748-05:00That list in the Sourcebook about the Legion's...That list in the Sourcebook about the Legion's activities during "5 Years Later" shows when Impulse (the Kent Shakespeare one, not the Bart Allen one) resigned, but not when he signed on.<br /><br />Speaking of forgotten LOSH members, it was never explained why Dream Boy stopped showing up in the book once Mark Waid's run was over.<br /><br />Also, wasn't there a bunch of shifty looking guys that showed up in the 'Quest for Cosmic Boy" prologue that were spying on Violet, Shady, and Timber Wolf and swearing that the "Legion would burn"?<br /><br />Finally, the demons in Brainy's mind that blinded Dreamy's ghost escaped to the real world, and then were never seen or heard from again.Optimus Pridehttp://optimus--pride.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-65112303918380347922016-12-10T22:50:29.422-05:002016-12-10T22:50:29.422-05:00I remember that too.

Who was Lyle's "C", what was up with Brainy kissing lyle during the Darksied arc. Lots of good ideas just tossed aside for the threeboot which was quickly made irrelevant by Countdown and infinite crisis. <br /><br />On the other hand, I was fine with the odd continuity issues in the Infinitus arc. I'd also be fine with seeing a similar team again with a mix of the originals and zero-hour teams. I thought JLU was well before convergence (which also had it's own mish-mash on continuities)?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134862258728096913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-91337210019319472552016-12-05T23:34:57.498-05:002016-12-05T23:34:57.498-05:00Oh the 5-year gap.

Even though it started with the best of intentions with some great moments it just ended a mess.<br /><br />What Shooter did to the threeboot Jeckie was nothing compared to what TMB did to the original-continuity Dream Girl, Tellus, Wildfire, Dawnstar, Timber Wolf. I loathed that you had to get the sourcebook to "fill in the gaps." <br /><br />What happened to Tinya (and Dirk) at the end of the latest series was a shame.
