This was not how I interpreted Ferro's line on first reading. But going over it again, your interpretation certainly makes more sence.

I only ask because it might be possible that he was being detained on Titan because of the nature of his powers, not because he WAS a Titanian. Who better to imprison a mentalist than a race of mentalists?
EXCELLENT POINT! Has Uni referred to Imra as a relative at all yet in this story?

4 -- I'm unclear -- what's ironic about Apparition taking out KK?
Ironic in the sense that the Legion's most "non-contact" combatant takes out the most hand-to-hand combatant.

What was Darkseid's curse in the preboot? Something about the most innocent among them shall be the first to fall.... So, looks like Cub is the reboot Validus.

VIOLET shrinks when fighting "The Atom" in THE LEGION 12.
And SHIKARI is seen holding hands with WILDFIRE in a wonderful splash page in THE LEGION 1, so I don't think it's out of chracter for her to hug Sensor.

Plus that whole "teleportation" trick during the Legion Subterfuge Squad days was accomplished using her shrinking powers...

She did it against the "Atom" in that fight with the fake JLA.

Regarding the hug, Sensor seems really distraught in that panel where Shikari's supporting her -- it seems an overly dramatic way to show how dire their situation is. Was Batista just hamming it up or does Sensor's expression there seem appropriate to others?

Sensor's physiological changes might be part of what's making her so emotional, which could explain this scene as well.

I thought the scene between Sensor and Shikari WAS a tiny bit manufactured. On the other hand, Sensor has been through a hell of a lot. Maybe the hard shell she has developed just coulen't hold up there. I WAS surprised to see Shikari's reaction (the comforting embrace) but also pleased as well. I can see Kari playing the comforting role. Don't know why, but I can. She already has been playing counselor to Brainy, as well. An interesting evolution of her persona, and I think welcome. Also, a major difference from Dawny's coldness, which will only strengthen the differences between the two (I stand firmly in the camp that Shikari is NOT Dawny rebooted.)
What was far more interesting and emotional to me was Ferro's hand on Val's shoulder. Much as I am loath to disagree with Lash, I think that gesture is FAR more poignant as a gesture of friendship, rather than romantic love. Val stayed with him when he was injured, rather than leave him alone on Steeple. I think he loves Val very much at this point, but as a brother. I hope this friendship stays strong.

While deep down I agree 100% with what Jeffey said re: Val and Andy, I'll thank him and the rest of you for allowing me to continue to dwell in my little dream world!!!

I think that Ferro's hand on Val's shoulder was nothing more than Ferro urging Val--who looks like he's about to attack S&S--to show some restraint. Why Val is assuming this aggressive stance against 2 barely conscious strangers who are wearing Legion flight rings is what doesn't make sense to me...
I also found it odd that Shikari embraced Sensor in that scene. She's been characterized as a loner among her own people and an outsider among the Legion up until now. She armors up and shoots those spikes out the instant she feels threatened or uncomfortable. She's never struck me as the touchy/feely/huggy type, in fact, she's so standoffish, she hasn't even bothered to learn her teammates' names. Val or Andy putting the hug on Sensor would've made more sense to me. Shikari strikes me more as the "suck it up" type.

I think Shikari was labelled a loner amongst her people more for the fact that she has that independent warrior streak. Even when we first see her in "LL" she's flying around with others. I think she was a bit out of place with her own people, but feels like she fits in with the Legion, so I don't expect her to be a loner or stand-offish with her teammates.

In the opening scene on Titan, where Universo faces the arriving Legion, everybody seems to be there, including Chuck and Gear (are they or aren't they Legionnaires?).
One person missing is Shvaughn Erin - she isn't always around but I wonder is she's just off nursing her wounded ego after the Ra's escape fiasco, or will she be playing a part later?
Of course, Cub is missing too - although his parents are there - but he's not part of the team. Still, I have high hopes for him to play a part in saving the day.
Now you know who could really save the Legion from Universo? Who is able to resist all sorts of mind manipulation because of their "weaker intellects"? THE SUPER-PETS! Hold your applause, thank you.
