Looks like the Duplicate Girl fodder fest we've all been waiting for.

I wonder who that is to the left of Mon-El, directly below Steve Lightle's little signature plaque. Seems a little buff to be a growed-up Danielle, which would have been my first guess.

That would be Element Lad, after he got toasted by Giant Dominator

At first glance, it looks like a male, not female to me. Green & red costume?
I'm more amped up for Legion Lost these days than the Legion itself. One of the breakout characters under Defalco's pen so far for me is Tellus--he really seems to be utilizing him better than anyone since the character was first introduced.

If anyone ever wrote Dawnstar with half the advantages she would need to have to be able to zip around at lightspeed, a fight between her and Timber Wolf wouldn't be anywhere near as one-sided as it initially seems...
Also, the second cover has the right touch of horror and drama that Steve Lightle does so well, but geez..poor Lu! And I wonder who that mysterious gentleman is!
AND WHAT DO THEY MEAN 'THE FATE OF COMET QUEEN'??
Obviously that she's fine and unharmed forever. Obviously. -_-

Clearly they are going to introduce to us the Comet that she is the Queen of!

Maybe it's Invisible Kid (Jacques) in a new costume?

While the image initially turned me off, upon a moment of thinking, I figure it's pretty cool to see Lu in the thick of battle. I am assuming she can summon endless duplicates and some of them likely will be fodder.
What I *HOPE* is explained is that the harming of these duplicates DOES NOT in any way harm Lu-prime or whatever. If it's any other way, I don't see how her body-duplication power could be considered anything but a liability.

It's M'Winadji, the new recruit introduced in issue nine, alongside Otaki, and that's probably her at the top of the human pyramid, just above Comet Queen, in the two-tone blue costume. .
My question though, I thought we resolved the Dream-Girl-is-NOT-a-blond thing. Do we need to resume with the letters?

I think at this stage we just need to accept that Dreamy's dyed her hair and move on...it always surprised me that her look has been so static for decades anyway, to be honest. If anyone has an in-character reason to be wanting to change her look at the drop of a hat, it's Dreamy....

I am a little unsure what I think of Lu's endless duplication power. In the past, the connection between the duplicates was extremely intimate and important. The three or two versions of her were part of the same person, and losing one to death was as devestating as the loss of a sister. If the duplicates are expendable, it cheapens the importance of them. I'm not entirely opposed to the mass duplication, after decades of her being incomplete, and ridiculously underpowered, suddenly getting this big power upgrade is a great change in her effectiveness as a Legionere, I just want to the lives of the duplicates to be as vital and treasured as the original three bodies were.
