Yeah, I wondered about that. Maybe they have immigrants from other planets who want to live in a matriarchal society - or maybe they always had mixed skin colours and it was just never represented. Green always makes me think of Coluans (although we've seen other green-sskinned races) and I wonder if there are Coluan malcontents who leave the planet to settle elsewhere.

I like that idea. Maybe their color differs as other races are brought in to Taltar, almost for breeding purposes. That could be a pretty groovy story!

I wonder if Lady Memory has any Coluan blood in her.
and did the search engine into trying to find the answers on Jeph Loeb/Chris Pachecho on absolute power from Superman/Batman 14 to 18 and I could not find it in your site. Is there a site where I can find out who and which legion members actually appeared in those issues?

Any thoughts on where this story arc fits in the DCU. The 'adult' Legion seemed to harken back to the very early Superman adult Legion walk on issues. Is this one of the 52 Earths or what?

The 2995 Sourcebook says "Gained ability of rapid-growth prehensile hair through mutagenic experiments of Double-X Liberators on Taltar. Applied for Legion membership, was rejected for lack of control. Recruited into Legion of Super-Villains by Laevar Bolto."
It's not 100% canonical, but it's the next best thing, just like the "Who's Who in the LSH". Both books introduced information that had not appeared in the comics but were later referenced.

I certainly can't disagree. However, there are names and places referred to in many entries that did end up in the comics after first appearing in the Who's Who or the Sourcebook.
Personally, I place the Who's Who at one level below canon, and the Sourcebook at two levels below. At least the Who's Who was published by DC, though the Sourcebook was co-written by the Bierbaums while they were working on the comic series.

Plus there's been so much stuff from the Sourcebook that was later used in the comic books, like a lot of the Five Year Gap details. DC certainly seems to be treating it as canon.

I remember Michael Eury (editor at the time) saying the Sourcebook was 100% canon to DC at that time. I even bought it for that reason. But I might be mistaken...
