• In the present day, it is politically correct to transliterate “Draxler” as “Dracksler”. But this is how they spelled it in my day.
• Those who make a study of such things speculate that Dvesha Aanan had some sort of direct link to the Red Spectrum of Emotion, but somehow did not suffer from the side-effects that plague the Red Lanterns. As for me, he seemed incapable of anger, wrath, or hatred. His last emotional outburst I attribute not to anger, but to sorrow, and loss.
• We now understand that Kormons were most probably of the same stock as Daxamites and Kryptonians. Some have speculated that isolated Kormon colonies may still exist, although none are specifically known. Kormo itself is a dead world. Nimbok was a mutant who was able to metabolize even red solar radiation. He was able to manifest these energies in a multitude of forms, all of which we may not have known even at his young demise. Just prior to Leeta-87’s tragic death he had been experimenting with sonic manipulation, or what we might now call “super-ventriloquism”.
• There has never been a Vasmiri like Mog Yagor. His powers of telepathy were unmatched: he could communicate with his family on Vasmeer from his rooms in the Clubhouse. His telekinetic abilities allowed him to not only levitate objects, create force-fields and fly through space unaided, but to alter his own molecular density, allowing him to pass through solid objects. He also had the odd ability to reduce or enlarge himself. Standing about one-and-a-half meters tall, he could grow to a size of seven-and-a-half meters, or shrink down to a size of thirty centimeters. He also had a bizarre sense of humor. At least, I think it was humor.
• Some years after the events described herein, I returned to the Super-Hero Clubhouse to gather the last of the documents and artifacts there before an impending sale of the building. There were two old holo-messages from young heroes requesting tryouts for the SHC: a Terran karate master named White Crane, and a young Green Lantern called Oranx.

I read this just before work, so I didn't have time to comment on it earlier.
Wow! Totally cool! I like what you did with Hate-Face and Leeta 87, particularly, having done my own takes on them, and Mog Yagor and Nimbok were very cool.
I love how Leeta 87 was like the 'Batman' of the group, and always a few steps ahead of the game.
The one-sentence 'missions' in the Missions, Anti-Hero Club and New Missions entries are inspiring as well, for all new fanfic possibilities!
Cerulean, the Hooloovoo Genius, made me smile, when I finally remembered what a Hooloovoo was!

In addition to your great takes on these obscure characters from the Adventure Era, I'd like to congratulate you on giving Marla Latham a "voice". Even though he was merely the chronicler, a little bit of his personality shone through.

Wow! This is great, lots of good new ideas mixed with nods to continuity that it fits nicely into any of the multiple versions of Legion history. I really really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing! Cx
