Continuing the Wanderers theme:
Which Wanderer had a twin brother?
What was his code name?

Are you talking about Quanto and Quantum Queen?
That was just a reader and editor making a joke in a letter column wasn't it?

Well, Quantum Queen is who I'm thinking about, and the answer is from a letter column, but it's not Quanto who's her twin brother (though that may be in another letter column...)

Oh, yeah. I think there was a Quantum Lad suggested in a Bits of Legionnaire Business column that a reader suggested could be QQ's twin.

That's it. Actually, the reader suggested QQ was Quantum Lad's girlfriend, to which Mort Weisinger replied that QQ was in fact Quantum Lad's twin sister, who shared his power to turn into a beam of light.
You're up, Jim!

Didn't the pair ups get screwed up between the two issues?

From memory: I think the seeding should not have been able to produce a Superboy v Bouncing Boy final. I believe they should actually have faced each other in the semi final round. Don't recall who the fourth semi finalist was (Saturn Girl?) but the juxtapsition of Chuck (actually Cham) beating Supes was much more appealing & compeling so they switched them around with no explanation.
How's my memory?

Pretty good, Varalent. The 4th semi-finalist was Karate Kid. He and Chameleon Boy were slated to fight Elvo. Bouncing Boy and Superboy were slated to fight Psyche. Instead, Superboy and Karate Kid fought Elvo and Cham and BB fought Psyche.
The Legion's sense of fairplay--or lack thereof--in that story always bothered me. Sun Boy defeated Quantum Queen, but Karate Kid kayoed him in order to claim the "collar" in cop talk. Chemical King defeated Ornitho, but Cham claimed the collar, only because CK was busy saving Saturn Girl. Superboy could've easily swooped in and grabbed Celebrand at super speed ahead of Chuck/Cham, but he, at least, was apparently too fairminded to do so.
Anyway, take it away, Varalent.
