Hmm...not 100% correct. I'll wait for more answers before even saying what of the above is right or not.

The twins Brin & Bran, and their older sister Loni Londo. (Gasp! Another "LL"! How ironic, choke!)

In LSH v.4 #2, Jo Nah is attacked by two incredibly courteous androids.

To whom are these androids a reference?

Hint: This is likely the earliest "comic" reference ever made in a Legion story.

You're on the right path, but you exited the timestream a little too soon.

Mac and Tosh are, themselves, also a reference to this even earlier source.

Eeeeeeeeeeven further back...

A big clue might be the actual names of the android assassins in the issue (based on the original source reference).

Korbal nails it.

The two androids, named "Algronsk and Kaston," are a clear pastiche of the earlier characters, "Alphonse and Gaston," first drawn by Frederick Burr Opper in 1901.

Take it away, Korbal.

A Gold Medal winning Olympian and a Legion character share a common name--what is it?

No guesses? O.K. for those who follow esoteric sport stories--

Hint: It was humorously reported recently that a craven individual fraudulently claimed this name for themself.
