Interesting.
If that's true then
Click Here For A Spoiler This can't be the Levitz Legion, unless they're plucked from the middle of the LSH/LSV War.

Okay. Well, the guy mentioned (and it's clearly a regular humanoid male, so not Blok, for instance) is the same guy I thought of first: Click Here For A SpoilerKarate Kid. The reason I thought of him is that Trident didn't display any powers. But of course this is all purely speculative as far as I'm concerned, and if it is Click Here For A SpoilerKarate Kid then it adds one more problem:
At what point in the original Legion's timeline is this happening? We knew it had to be pre-5YG because of Dawnstar's wings and because Star Boy was an active Legionnaire (as opposed to being Xanthu's planetary champion). (Which means that Infectious Lass, in Tales of the Unexpected, probably has nothing to do with this whole thing, because she was only a Legionnaire during the Gap, or possibly after.) But now, if this is Click Here For A SpoilerKarate Kid, we're pushing it back before the LSV/Orando sequence, before the Baxter series, possibly before Val's marriage to Jeckie... and, more importantly from my perspective, before Crisis on Infinite Earths. And I had guessed that it was the Crisis-era Legion we were seeing here.
So, more speculation... I think this Legion might be pre-Great Darkness Saga, also, only because I can't see the powers-that-be wanting to leave Ayla out of whatever's going on. And if that's so, then we're also missing Jacques and Mysa.
When did Star Boy first grow the beard? I remember Pat Broderick drew him without it, and something like a beard isn't evidence either way, but...

It was in #291 actually. He's seen without one in #289 then when Thom is next shown in the background in a panel of #291 he has the beard. Page 5 to be exact.

It doesn't have to be the Baxter Era LSV, though, does it? I mean, I'm convinced that they're just manifestations created by Dr. Destiny out of Dream Girl's mind, but Lightning Lord, Tyr and the rest were longstanding Legion villains; no need to specify Baxter-era.
Darkseid is a different story, and I hadn't thought about him. So if Dr. Destiny is pulling Darkseid out of Dream Girl's memory, then that places this story between Great Darkness and the Baxter series. But if he's pulling Darkseid out of Dreamy's predictions...
Maybe LSH #300 is the key to sorting all this out.

Cosmic King seems to place it as Baxter LSV. Unless its the time-travelling Adult Cosmic King, whom Nura actually never met and would be really confusing. I think the costume indicates the Baxter Cosmic King.

Darkseid I think is behind ALL of this. The "event" in Countdown with his face? When he cursed the Legion? I think the curse is what this is all about.

Click Here For A Spoilerso why would it be that Wak are showing up in JLA and Silver Age is showing up in JSA besides the obvious that is.

Click Here For A SpoilerI think the WaK Karate Kid appearing in the big cover image was just a red herring.
I've had another chance to look at the new JLA, and Batman's testing clearly identifies him as Val Armorr, if you look at the letters that are bleeding offpanel. Furthermore, it seems like the JLA computer is accessing several databases: the Batcave, Gotham Police, AFIS and Hall of Justice (I suppose) computers blank out on him, but the Fortress of Solitude computer has a match.
