That's still technically pre-boot, MEL. Mano was one of the first villains to battle the newly formed post-boot Legion. LEGIONNAIRES #19-20, LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES Vol.4 #63.
Leland McCauley sold one side of the Angtu warring factions a chemical which when used, wiped out the entire planet's population except for Mano. Mano contemplated single suicide. But decided not to add one more corpse to the heap and used his power on the planet itself. Somehow he survived, drifting in space. He then set out for revenge against the fourth richest man in the Galaxy at the lunar research base of Earth’s McCauley Industries. This Mano’s hand is swathed in an energy that can disrupt the balance between atoms and disintegrate anything with a touch. The Legion was called in to stop the madman and almost got wiped out. Then Brainy explains that Mano needs to recharge in order to use his power to destroy the Moon. The Legion narrowly stop him by having Chameleon masquerade as McCauley and Invisible Kid sneaks up to subdue his hand.

Interesting to see that he actually isn't supposed to need a helmet/fishbowl anymore. I hadn't realized they did away with it at one point.
Oh yeah, and is Mano's right glove made from leftover scraps of pre-boot Superboy's cape or something? You'd think it would've disintegrated or something...

ARGH! I'm done! I scanned and loaded my Mano pic up before I draw it yet again! I can never make myself happy with what I draw. I drew various variations of this pic 5 times with a few other ways to do it bouncing around my brain. But I'm done! Now that its loaded to the site, I ain't drawing it no more!
(See why I never tried to draw for a living. )
MELad, may I suggest that you set up a seperate Gallery only (or even a Mano Gallery only) thread for people to post their contributions on, on April 1st. And for those who are drawing images for this, but don't have a website to store it at, you can e-mail me your image and I'll host it here at LW.

Don't feel bad, Gary. I did the same thing. In fact, once I had the final image drawn, inked and scanned, I ended up erasing some things and cropping the image in PSP as I was coloring it, deciding that I preferred a more simple drawing.
That's why MY occupation doesn't involve creative art of any kind

Hehehe! That's why it helps to have NO talent for drawing. I simply resorted to a crude attempt at a manip and I'm just thrilled that I was able to do that! I'll be happy if people agree it resembles Mano.

That's a good idea Gary, I think maybe one gallery thread for each character? I'm thinking of starting it now because it will be April 1st for some people before me here in California.
Me, I had a busy weekend and didn't have time to work on my Mano manip for more than 2-3 hours. I will definitely finish it though, even if I have to pull an all nighter.

Hey! Can I post my pic tomorrow (Mar 31st) at 4am Pacific? Since that's Midnight (April 1st) in New Zealand? I'm the impatient sort, if you haven't noticed?
