Her name 'Wilcox' is vaguely reminiscent of all those names she had in the threeboot (Wilhemina Vauxhall, etc, etc). Chemistry Teacher Lad's civilian name is also evocative of his Tromnian name.
I wonder if any other Legionnaires in the 21st century have hints buried in their names?
The above reminder of her killing Nemesis Kid also makes me wonder if Nemmy had a family somewhere. We know he came from an 'alchemy planet,' and is the only person we've seen from there, which opens up the possibility that, before his fall from grace, he was a world's champion, like Shadow Lass...

I knw that Brainy mourned Supergirl 1000 years after she died but mourning someone 1000 years before they are born is pretty weird.
Obviously Jeckie knows Mon is not dead. Presumably she (and the others) are there to rescue him?
From an AR perspective all Wilcox appearnces are now Jeckie appearances.

That revelation came as quite a jolt! Not a long-lasting one, since several other Legionnaires have been revealed as currently in the 21st century. Let's see... Jeckie, Tellus, Element Lad, Starman, apparently Dream Girl... I'm seeing Cham around every potted plant. Infectious Lass from the Dr. 13 story (though I'll have to see it explicitly linked up to 'current' LSH storytelling to accept that one).
Who's left from that 'missing grouping' from LO3W?
Matter-Eater Lad and Tyroc. Is that it?
I'm eager to see the purpose behind all of this, assuming there is one beyond 'get them out of Absorbancy Boy's range'.
Sad to see Jeckie referring to herself as widow once again, isn't it? Especially because we really didn't get to see her with Val at all. I wonder if there's any chance that whatever brought him back before the Lightning Saga will work/be used again?
Giffen's little opposite-of-crush seems so petty, doesn't it?

Yeah, it looks like the main 21st Century Legion storylines will be taking place in Superman. Pretty much just keep an eye on whatever James Robinson is writing. Tellus showed up in the Guardian one-shot Robinson wrote. Robinson is also taking over JLA soon and Mon-El will be a member, but who knows if he's going to put any Legion plots in there.
Other than that, Adventure Comics (at least until Geoff leaves) and random Mon-El appearances in other Superman-related books.
