^Yeah. The reason why Robert Bruce Banner has three names is allegedly because Lee accidentally referred to him as "Bob Banner" in an issue of FF.

quote:Originally posted by jimgallagher: A more egregious error in Superboy 206 is that Superboy acts all shocked and mystified when the "dead" legionnaires show up and his narration indicates that he has no idea where they came from. Then at the end, it turns out he knew they were clones all along and was testing them for the Legion. It seems pretty heartless for the Legion to have been creating clones, letting them think they were the originals, knowing they were going to blow up and die all over again. Then they just act like, "Oh well, back to the drawing board."
I just read that story, and good Lord, that was the most horrible thing ever. Brainy was creating these clones that thought they were the originals, but only had a two-day life-span before thy exploded. And apparently neither he, nor anyone else in the story, nor Cary Bates, saw anything wrong with this.

Clones last longer than that in the 21st century DCU. After a millennium, you'd think the Legion would be at least as advanced as Cadmus.
