Well, my interest was the girlfriends from the 60s and 70s. Iresa, Marya, Myla, Sinde... I want to start another sub-project with my commissions by getting Legion Girlfriends.
I've been to the Silver Age Legion site a lot. Even before I really got into the Legion. But even though they gave the site a makeover some sections I still can't go to.
EDE's thread is really helpful. Thanks Future.

Ok, in the comics they claim that Validus is more powerful than Superboy/Mon-el etc. so I ask....
Is Validus considered more powerful in Strength?
Is Validus considered to be more invulnerable than Superboy/Mon-el?
I recall seeing stories where Validus knocks Superboy unconscious. Do we have any where Mon-el or Superboy beat up, knocked out, defeated Validus through brute power?

Validus is definitely stronger/more invulnerable than Superboy/Mon-El. I believe, though I can't cite a reference offhand, that he's actually more powerful than the two of them combined.

Would anyone be kind enough to re-tell or link the "current" origin of Superman for me. After all the changes DC has made I'm not certain "what is what" anymore and would like to have the character updated to the latest version..I assume with the new 52 it was altered again?
Also, what is the current maximum weight he can lift? This seems to keep changing too.

Superman's post Flashpoint origin is still unfolding. So far, we know that he is still from Krypton. We've had glimpses of Krypton. Jor-El and Lara are still his parents. Jor-El is still predicting the destruction of the planet. Visually, they look different from previous versions.
The Action Comics story is focusing on Clark's early days in Metropolis. We know that the Kents have died. Superman's powers are not yet fully developed -- more at the "leaping over tall buildings in a single bound" level - but he is getting stronger. He wears jeans and a tee shirt as opposed to the traditional Superman costume. Clark works for the Daily Star - not yet the Daily Planet where Jimmy and Lois work. He and Jimmy are already friends, though.
Kandor was stolen from Krypton prior to its destruction. Perhaps by Brainiac, but the brief images we've seen of the villain so far have an insect quality.

Fans who are used to being told everything up-front only seem to look for reasons to dislike everything.
What's wrong with sitting back and seeing where a story goes, rather than expecting everything to match ones preconceived notions? I love being surprised by a good story that takes its time to unfold.
If anything, the need to fill in every little info-gap dries up the story faster, and feeds the need for more frequent relaunches.
Comics are for entertainment, not tech-manuals. Remember 'wonder' and 'imagination?' I'll bet most of us got into comics because of them. When did looking for things to complain about become the primary reason for so many who still read comics?
