You realise there's a few weeks between the two scenes you mentioned? Between the Legion revealing themselves and Superboy showing up, it's mentioned that Mon joins the Justice League.

No news is good news?
yeah especially With Tyroc and Dream Girl....
Huh. Dream Girl has always been one of my favorite characters. I have no idea whether Levitz has any plans for Tyroc, but it would be cool if he did. I always thought the character had a lot of potential, and that the explanation that voice powers don't make for good writing in a soundless medium was... pretty damn silly.

Jeckie's costume changed in the weeks after their reveal to Lar.
In the Smallville meeting, she has red sleeves and forearm gloves. The cape collar is smaller and those garter looking discs on her thighs are a silvery blue rather than gold. The area on her chest looks different, too. It's black rather than white.
I personally, like the crown but I don't see why she would have it if she's still hiding her identity as Projectra for her power's sake. Don't hide it and then allude to it, at the same time.
I've ALWAYS hated the red and white mask, all the way back to when she originally had it. Her mouth and chin should be uncovered, at the very least, imo.

The main problem with Tyroc was the deux ex machina aspect of his power. Banshee of the X-men also had sound based powers and seems a little bit more believable, at least to me. Ditto Black Canary's canary cry.

I agree, Quis. But a skilled writer can "power down" the character to avoid that kind of problem. Happens all the time.

well Tyroc was pretty written well somehow just before the Zero Hour....too bad they did not spotlight his last showcase.
just like Mysa as Jewel where she said "final farewell and being free of Mordru.".

If Tyroc's powers were transitioned from purely sonic screams to more vibrational manipulations, it would make sense that he could generate a 'sonic' attack that set something on fire, or caused it to freeze solid, or made it explode into little pieces, by running up and down the vibrational frequencies until he hit the right tone or whatever.
But he'd still be not very useful in space.
Technically, Polar Boy's ability to generate intense cold and freeze moisture in the air should be equally useless in space, and Sun Boy shouldn't be able to generate flame, with nothing to burn in the interstellar vacuum (and I suspect that Lightning Lad might not be able to fling lightning without atmosphere to contain the ion trail, and we won't even get into how useless Cosmic Boy would be in a future were 99% of the local materials aren't ferromagnetic...), but it seems that the Legionnaire's powers generally just 'work in space,' whether they should or not.
Actually, I'd be fine with one or more Legionnaires being unable to use their powers in space. It's about time that Saturn Girl got company in the 'crap, it's robots, I wish I had a gun!' sub-Legion of characters whose powers don't *always* work.

My theory is that Tyroc's power works by controlling the vibrations of superstrings.

But if they brought back Computo II, she and Saturn Girl could have a blast taking down robots with mental powers "translated" into robot-speak. Sort of like the Night Girl-Shadow Lass thing.

Interesting. But, I'll have to really look at it when I'm more awake and a little smarter. sigh
But I'm all for the idea of Tyroc manipulating superstring vibrations. Except, wouldn't that have some pretty far reaching effects, as opposed to him just manipulating air waves? Just asking.
