I was actually thinking DnA-era Kid Quantum II. It basically explains his Deus ex Machina level powers. But it also fits very well with his most commonly depicted abilities, such as teleportation/inter-dimensional travel.

Hmmm. I was angling more for 'writers who didn't create him don't use him, then kill him off' than any real power-comparison. As in 'be careful what you wish for."

Have we established the actual ages of the retroboot Legionnaires? I don't know how one can be a 'cougar' in your middle 20's! I mean, without being a pedophile.
(Yeah, yeah, just sort of kidding.)

Anyone else confused by the depiction of Quislet's power here? It looked like telekinesis (Tellus's thing) when - if I remember correctly - Quislet used to bloop into things, animate them and then they would dissipate once he blooped out again.

Near the end they talk about writing the Legion and Gates says the "ultimate Brainiac vs. Brainiac 5 battle of wits" will be in Supergirl #52 along with interesting interactions between Supergirl and Brainy.
Best line comes from Starman: "The Legion of what? I thought we were the Planeteers." Click Here For A SpoilerWell, the Legionnaires do not show up until about half way through or so. Then they do not do much before Supergirl leaves them in the capable hands of Zod. Who promptly plans to have them arrested. I have not read the New Krypton stuff, but I wonder why Kara would trust Zod so much.

Because, . . . Click Here For A Spoiler. . . the Kryptonians on New Krypton see him as their hero and returned him to the head of their military and protector of their new home.
Kara's had a year of him playing the good guy.

I wonder what other cities the Legion was refering to when they said they needed to free them and set history right, the future depends on it (or something to that effect)? Brainiac has these "bottled" cities hidden somewhere? Which cities(worlds?) are they?? I'm a bit confused. Someone please clarify.

I think this refered to the list of planets from Adventure Comics #8 that Brainiac is said to have destroyed. Among them are important Legion worlds like Durla I, Rimbor and Imsk. Like the Kryptonian city of Kandor, Brainiac shrunk down one city to keep that civilization's "knowledge" for himself. Whenever we see inside Brainiac's ship, there's tons of bottled cities. The Legion mission will be to get those bottled cities and restore them to the places they'll be in the future, which will preserve the timeline.
