I think they are both Luornu.

That's Cosmic Boy. Gotta say, if Legion fans can't identify the players how can we expect new readers to? Also, the art is very sketchy, not well suited for the clear lines and bold colors of the 31st century.
He may well be, but he has an ego that gets in the way, and considers Brainiac to be a very personal enemy. I don't find it out of character that he'd force the Legion to stand down while he attempts to execute the plan he strategized himself.

And thanks, KK. I thought the seated two looked pretty different from each other. sigh
Why is Cos in pink? Excuse me, light red? I found him on the cover, too.
I think they need to pick an era and a look and get us used to who's who. In one book, Jan has short hair, in another it's long on top. Consistency would be nice!

Apart from Mon-El I have not seen Garth either... And it seems that Rokk and Lydda they are a couple again. Another end with the legion erased of the reality? Humm...Too reiterative for my taste. If at least, when they save the universe, they could bring to the life to Andrew, Condo, Lyle and Val... It would be nice.

Wehn did he get hands? I do not ever remember him having anything that looked like fingers. Let alone the way they had him "standing."
I'll be real happy when they are back in Pauls hands. He may recapture the total magic, but at least he knows the characters in regards to powers and personalities.

When they went to the seeding of the worlds idea, back before Zero Hour(?), Tellus' people were shown to come from humans manipulated by the Dominators in their genetic experiments.
I think that's when he got more 'human' handed, sort of, maybe.
Where does he wear his flight ring, anyway?

He wears it in the same type of other-dimensional lockbox that Cham uses when he's not in a shape with the proper-sized digits.
The rings are made of unstable molecules! They just can't CALL them that because Marvel would file a lawsuit.
Do I have to explain everything to you people?! Tsk.

Not only is the plot overused and 'hackneyed' but it is developing so very, very slowly.
And isn't that a strange place to put a console? Way up in the air where Gim has to hold somebody up there for them to be able to work on the console, assuming that Gim's hands are too big to work on it. That phrase made me snicker for some reason.

Didn't you hear? They're changing the title of this book to "Brainiac 5 and the Legion of Super-Heroes".
The more they concentrate on legacy heroes, the more excuses there are for cross-overs and such.
It's a mixed blessing, for reasons I've gone into before. I have a lot of misgivings about the constant emphasis on legacy heroes and villains, but that needs its own thread; and right now I haven't got the time.

i agree with the comments about the tired plot. also, tired is the..."everyone shoot all your powers at once to power up the..." why doesn't it just destroy all of brainy's devices and brainy too? AND, just how does brainy know that the time/space rift is caused by brainiac 1 killing superman? did i miss that? for that matter, how did zod manage to capture all those legionnaires? projectra alone could stop that. aaaugh! i guess i'm too old for this.
the legion of rotating artists doesn't help things like continuity or showcasing subtleties in characters. just wake me when legion #1 is here.
