That actually is well established in Legion Lore. Although they only wiped his memry completely once that I can recall, both Supes and Kara were under a hypnotic compulsion to forget anything they learned in the 30th Centruy that could cause them to change history through that knowledge.
During the Grell era, we learned that the Legion had also hidden lots of other important details from the Super cousins, like the Legion gene (DNA) bank because they feared that the temptation to use that knowledge to "resurrect" his parents or other loved ones would be too great.

Well Action #851 has a Legion related character besides Mon-El and I can't say I welcome it.
Click Here For A SpoilerDev-Em is some crazy looking villain now. Looks nothing like the Dev-Em I know and love.
I hate when DC does this. Infact, this character (or atleast his name) appeared recently in another DC work. Certainly wasn't the guy we know in either issue(52 and Action). Stop throwing these names around if you are going to make the character completely different.

Hmm... well, said character was originally Click Here For A Spoilera Kryptonian juvenile delinquent, before travelling to the 30th century and reforming, so it wouldn't surprise me if they rebooted him as a Kryptonian criminal.
Disappointing, but not surprising.

don't forget when Click Here For A Spoiler Dev-Em was a Valor villain who blew up the moon.

Also an earlier story by Dwayne McDuffie (fill-in for Geoff's late Action arc) has Superman battling a Sun-Eater. I am reading the original Sun-Eater story right now.
Same trick. The Eater blasts Superman with red sun rays. McDuffie has it do the same in the Action issue.
It seems DC is brushing up on their Legion history as well as me. Hmm, I wonder why?

So now that the Ligthning Saga is over - just read JLA though my comic shop missed to send me the fourth part JSA issue - I am really a little bit confused but far more excited that we got to see Brainy and Cos as well. And who was that guy/girl talking to Karate Kid at the end???
My only hope is that they will tell me in advance which issues to buy. The Legion return came as a surprise in JSA and it was pretty hard to get those back issues in Germany (at last I succeeded rather cheaply on Ebay...)
Cause I have no interest at all in buying Action comics without the Legion - I NEVER cared much for Superman - but fear I will miss something... again...
But hey - Gary Frank, that's a good news. Second best to George Perez, as good as Greg Land or Jiminez. Cool!

Superman wearing a legion ring again after all these years. I will probably never be able to criticize his version of the legion just because him being back in legion continuity is so right to me.

The Legion has never seemed right to me without Kal-El in it.
Of course that's because I think of the Pre-Crisis lonely Clark who really needed friends who understood what it was like to be different as opposed to the BMOC that Clark became after Byrne got his hands on him...

Here's hoping to see Dream Girl and Dawnstar again in Action Comics....*please finger crossing* and if possible, Sensor Girl.

I never really cared too much for Superboy being in the Legion, but it is kinda nice to see the Legion having an important place in SuperMAN's past. The best thing about "Lightning Saga" was just the possibilities that it offered in terms of seeing the Legion many of us loved. So far, there's been nothing to show that the pay off is going to be at all satisfying.

But at this point I don't mind being strung along; the Lightning Saga Legion reminds me of why I love LSH. Threeboot does not.
