Edited again: 1) Mentioning that Rond Vidar was revealed as a member in Legion of Three Worlds 2) Mentioning the Levitz interview in which he says that Legion of Three Worlds isn't in continuity.

is Val meeting Robin in his Comic still continuity ?? as well as val traveling to the 20th century just more modern like in the 90s than the 70s? (though it would most likely be nightwing than one of the robin's)

Added the Adventure #1 last page panels, and moved the Dev-Em reference. And I added the Adventure #516 retcons. Any retcons I missed?

But it's Levitz contradicting Levit in order to fit with the grand continuity of the DCU!

I already mentioned that. Though I didn't notice it was caused by Superboy time travelling on his own. Actually, if it was caused by Superboy time travelling on his own, then Paul had to retcon away Annual #2. Paul doesn't write Superman; he doesn't get to decide what powers Superboy has.

"Annnnnd in the red corner, we have Paul Levitz, grizzled veteran of a thousand campaigns, former CEO of DC comics, squaring off against the plucky newcomer in the blue corner, his younger self, the Paul Levitz of the 1980s!"

As of Adventure Comics #516 the '6 Minute War' took place on NEW Durla sometime in the future. Also, the events of the story from LSH Annual #2 couldn't have happened as depicted any way since the group of Legionnaires stranded in the past in that story got there because of hitting a temporal wave caused by Superboy time-traveling on his own. The realy odd thing here is that both stories were written by Mr. Levitz so it is Levitz contradicting Levitz.
so what? It's not like that annual really mattered in the grand scheme of things.
I doubt he considers it one of his finest; it came off more like a throw-away idea.

First of all, the issue was full of little retcons/mistakes like that. Contradicting one obscure story isn't that big a deal; contradicting many obscure and not-so-obscure stories adds up to death by a thousand cuts.
Second, small retcons can add up over time too. If every story for the next couple of years only contradicted one obscure reference, Legion history would be nonsense by the time it was all over.

Their 'designer/defualt' form looks exactly like current day shape-shifting Durlans and the pre-war (presumably non-shape-shifting) Durlans from the bottled City.
