There certainly seems to be a lot of instances of Legion references in the DCU lately. I know there are references scattered throughout this thread but since it seems like this is just going to be happening more and more I thought I'd start this thread as a catchall for those little Legion-verse things that pop up in regular DCU books. Most notable recent Legion "incursions": -- Buddy Baker tapping into the powers of a Sun-Eater. -- Infectious Lass in "Tales of the Unexpected" -- That Durlan agent (I think named Daggle?) in "Green Lantern Corps" -- Venegar in "Brave & the Bold" -- in "Green Lantern" #18, there's a black-haired, blue skinned woman in a black cape and bikini named Lyssa Drak of Talok IV. She's part of the Sinestro Corps and is the keeper of the "Book of Parallax" -- and of course the JSA.
I'm sure I missed a few. Some of these occurances have discussions in the Gym'll's forum, but I also wanted the little appearances to get noted somewhere as well.

This is a great idea Drake. What with the Legion appearing in more and more comics, we need a checklist of all appearances!

-- Oh, and of course we know the Fatal Five are coming to "Brave & the Bold" next month -- Aside from Venegar, this month's "B&B" also mentions interlac (no surprise "B&B" has Legion references with Waid as writer...)

In the Action comics annual. There is mention of Mon-el and a set of statues of the legion in the fortress of solitude. Plus in Justice League of America #1 Batman refers to Superman's Legion flight ring.

52 had also featured the Eye of Ekron a few weeks back. It also had the 21st century Persuader and his axe appear briefly.
To date, with come-on's as well as published issues, we know of Star Boy, Dream Girl and Dawnstar appearing in JSA.

They also reference a "planetary chance" machine... which was also the name of a device the Adventure era Legion used.

In the most recent issue of Action comics Superman faces off against a sun eater (it's a flashback tale told by Pa Kent who was there at the time) and he tells Pa, I've faced them before, but then I had help. Or something along those lines, I didn't buy the issue, just read it in the shop.
-------------------- Long Live the Legion!
