Also in that issue, AMAZING WORLD OF DC COMICS #14 (MAR. 1977) -
LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES/APPLICATION REPORT
APPLICANT'S NAME: Not disclosed APPLICANT'S CODE NAME: Transporter Boy POWER: He is able to transport any living thing to distant planets or make them disappear forever. ORIGIN OF POWER: Not disclosed PLANET OF ORIGIN: Not disclosed STATUS OF APPLICATION: REJECTED. (IF REJECTED, STATE REASONS): Applicant's power is too dangerous. He gave no indication that he could control where he sent those he transported. It was feared he could accidentally send living creatures to planets where they could not survive, thereby violating the Legion's code against killing. Making living things "disappear forever" also violates that code. APPLICANT'S SPONSOR: Darwin Frehlick
LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES/APPLICATION REPORT
APPLICANT'S NAME: Arwe Earh APPLICANT'S CODE NAME: Thunderbow POWER: The ability of infallible aim in directing any weapon, telekeenetic [their spelling, FYI] energy or teleportation effects. Applicant uses the bow as his weapon. ORIGIN OF POWER: Natural planetary abilities. PLANET OF ORIGIN: Ythorza (destroyed) STATUS OF APPLICATION: REJECTED. (IF REJECTED, STATE REASONS): Applicant uses weapon in conjuntion with natural ability, contrary to Legion policy. Powers of telekenetic energy projection (limited to aim) and teleportation (also limited) are duplicated by other Legionnaires on active duty (Saturn Girl and Tyroc). Duplication is also against Legion policy except in special cases. APPLICANT'S SPONSOR: Mark A. Ernst

So I guess Nightwind's pretty safe for this arc hm??
Gail, thanks for sharing. It's always heartening to know that the Legion is and has always been about more than what's on the printed page - it's also about the community of those touched by its stories through these many years.

First off that is a touching story Gail thank you. And I have never heard of Rob before but I want to know more! How is he connected to Nightwind/g again? And any more info from all you guys about Rob would be appreciated!
Nightcrawler, love those pics man! I've always been a Nightwind/Lamprey fan. Would be cool if she and Timberwolf hooked up.

Thanks for sharing and for coming back, Gail.
I've always been a Nightwind fan and have always felt that she (and Lamprey and Crystal Kid too) was a should-have-been Legionnaire. It's nice to learn more about her creator.
