But Ferro deserved better.<br /><br />I never noticed the whole X-Men analogue thing before, but it's kinda obvious now? But it's an issue that simultaneously annoys me with wonky character design AND makes me wonder why they went to all that work on a set of one-off villains. I feel like they could have done a few issues on Ferro's background or had them come after him or SOMETHING.<br /><br />The issue felt rushed, and at the same time, it wasn't over fast enough.<br /><br />At least the other book was firing on all cylinders with the Mordru storyline. And if nothing else, the "team stuck in the past" saga got me into Impulse, and that in turn into Young Justice, so it was worth it.Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110849730431679786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-82469841130732434462017-11-04T12:54:00.174-04:002017-11-04T12:54:00.174-04:00While this issue is poorer than most of the run, I...While this issue is poorer than most of the run, I have to disagree.

Zero Hour has reconfigured history to create the Reboot, and retcon Ferro into the 20th Century, turn Phase into not-Tinya, etc.<br /><br />When history is again changed, creating the Threeboot, presumably 20th Century Ferro doesn't join the Legion because they don't take part in Final Night. Or actually, they do, because during those events, Superman remembered the original/5YL versions of the Legion. From this we can infer that in the Single DC Universe, the future is mutable from the present's perspective, so that time travelers might come from (or reach) mutually exclusive timelines, or barring that, the future changes but any trips to the present are not erased. Therefore, we may meet various versions of the Legion who eventually go back to a doomed probability. If that's the case, Ferro went to the future... and vanished.<br /><br />Then, Infinite Crisis recreates the multiverse thanks to Superboy punches. This creates any number of changed to history just as Crisis and Zero Hour did, up to and including putting each of those timelimes on their own Earths. Ferro still left from our continuous post-Crisis present, but joined a team that is on Earth-247. Meanwhile, the original continuity and Ferro Lad are restored and put on Earth-2. The Threeboot is said to be Earth-Prime's future. So there really aren't two Andrew Nolan's from the same Earth.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-14594740644591618372017-11-03T09:22:39.087-04:002017-11-03T09:22:39.087-04:00No Ferro was integral to LO3W, and they still had ...No Ferro was integral to LO3W, and they still had a Ferro Lad memorial. Remember, Ferro didn't come from Earth-247.

How could there have been an Andrew and Douglas Nolan with the power to turn into iron in the 20th Century, and then a COMPLETELY SEPARATE pair of them in the 31st Century?<br /><br />Johns, you do not think these things out.Jude Delucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192366186748612752noreply@blogger.com
