A few questions that I have that need answering:
Personalities of the following Legionaries:
1. Silver-age Princess Projectra.
2. Wildfire ( I know that he is a smart-ass is there anything more I need to know?).
3. Dawnstar ("down to earth",caring, strong, stern?)
4. XS (As far as I can tell she is nice, caring, and sweet, maybe vulnerable?).
5. Rond Vidar (All I know is from "Legion of 3 Worlds", he is noble as far a I can tell).
The purpose of this is for a fanfic I want to write. What I've listed is what I know so far. The fanfic will continue the last season of the Legion animated series. Thanks in advance. This will be the first fanfic I've ever written. Any and all help would be much appreciated.
Also what is contemporary Superman's maximum strength? I have always wondered this. After seeing him shatter a moon in Justice League a few months back I can't help but wonder. I think that the writers sometimes are ambiguous as to what old Supes can do. One comic he has trouble lifting the Statue of Liberty then in another he is picking up mountains. Could someone please clear this up?

2. He's also quick-tempered and impulsive, and resents his lack of a physical existence. 3. She's aloof and originally joined the Legion because she needed the money, although under Geoff Johns she seems to have come to believe in the Legion's values a lot more. 4. The XS character moments I remember most: the first time she went into combat as a Legionnaire, she panicked and ran away for a second before turning around and helping out. She was ready to quit the Legion over this failure but Cosmic Boy talked her into staying. And one time she was pouring her heart out to Magno about some guy she liked who didn't know she existed, all unaware that Magno had a crush on her himself. She only realized it after the conversation was over, and was mortified.

Also, Wildfire had a soft spot for the Legion Academy students in the pre-boot era. I think he once kept any of them from being called up when the Legion was short-handed rather than any of them getting hurt. It showed a soft spot that he normally didn't show around the Legionnaires proper, but it was a trait that offset the hot-head side rather nicely.

The Hero Histories at Major Spoilers were a big help to me when I was getting back into the fandom after a long absence. Bearing in mind that you don't have to agree with every single interpretation of every single character. Which would be impossible anyway given all the rewrites, reboots, and contradictions. It's still a great resource.

BTW, a horrifically dorky and hopelessly vague question (but that's never stopped me before, has it?)...
The Omnicoms? Did they first show up in 5YG? Did they persist in other versions of the comic? Is Wiki correct to credit their invention to McCauley and/or his company?
Tell me anything else you might remember about them. I only own three 5YG comics (as of two or three weeks ago), so anything you've got is likely to be something I don't know.
Thanks.

Omnicoms did originate in the 5YL (aka TMK) run on the Legion, and it's made clear that they are manufactured by McCauley Industries. A comment made in the diary of SW6 Shrinking Violet mentions a device called "McCauleyComs" that she remembers from her time prior to waking up in the 5YG era (which would be the Silver Age Legion era).
It's never explicitly said that McCauley invented them, but it's pretty clear that the McCauley name has been associated with communications devices of that sort for quite a while in the Legion's universe.
They did exist in the post-Zero Hour Legion.

I just did a search for OMEGA and came up with 81 matches, none of which was in this thread.
So...
I'd love to read the Omega 2-parter. I'm sure someday I will. But the chances of affordable copies of those issues turning up at my LCS in the near future are slim to none.
That's why I'm asking: WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT OMEGA??

While insane, Brainiac 5 created Omega using the Miracle Machine. The Legion is alerted to Omega's existence by a deep space alert that Timber Wolf says is "not supposed to act like that for anything this side of a Sun Eater". Superboy and Mon El respond first. Omega tells them that he is the "living embodiment of all the hate that ever existed". In the fist fight that ensues, Mon El receives a concussion. Omega is then shown striding through space at a speed that staggers the imagination.
He is next confronted by Dawnstar, Superboy, and Ultra Boy. Dawnstar tries to drop a giant asteroid(with a hidden bomb in it) on Omega. He punches it to pieces and Dawnstar is taken out by the debris. After a couple pages of battle, Superboy and Ultra Boy are left unconscious and floating through space.
Omega lumbers toward Earth and Legion headquarters. He takes out a number of Legionnaires. Wildfire releases all of his energy from his containment suit in an attempt to stop Omega. He succeeds only in flattening the headquarters.
Brainiac 5 is left to confront Omega. Omega reveals that he has come for the MIracle Machine and that he intends to use it to end all life. Brainiac 5 has arranged for Matter Eater Lad to eat the Miracle Machine. As he consumes it, Omega fades out of existence. Matter Eater Lad is left as insane as Brainiac 5.

A long shot question, but what the hey...
Were Bouncing Boy's parents ever given names in canon? I've checked my usual sources for this kind of thing, but... nothing.
Thanks.
