^ Gosh. I had no idea he had been named, let alone had a thread about him. Why "Doro" though, when he's clearly a rebooted Calamity King? What a shame they hadn't called him Eryk.

EDE, aren't you meant to be asking a question?

Because it was a homage, not the "real" Calamity King - hell, as I mentioned, the real Lydda Jath appeared earlier in Legionnaires #43 & 49 (the picture above is from the latter), yet there's a mini-Night Girl amongst the LotL kids!

^ I remembered Lydda's previous appearance (she was the one I referenced in my question) but because I don't like the idea of there being these 6 kids hanging out in the Postboot universe who look and dress exactly like Preboot characters, but who aren't the Postboot versions of those characters, I've always reconciled these two appearances of Lydda (and Drura later on) as being the same character.
Maybe she was there gathering info to help the Subs goals? In fact, maybe those kids in the LotL series ARE the Postboot Subs since, other than Polar Boy, I don't remember it ever being confirmed who was on that team.
I've always just chalked her more youthful appearance here down to artistic interpretation.
So with that in mind, I would have preferred the 'Calamity King' here be 'Eryk'.

Speaking of homages in that mini-series, when Ultra Boy was swallowed by a space-whale, he met a group of aliens who resembled the cast of what TV series?

Sticking with homages, Mr. Spock once made a Legion cameo. What two Legionnaires were in the same panel and what were they doing?

There were five Legionnaires! Cos was being hit on by four girls; Live Wire was fuming at Imra, who was still laughing about the Mr Ed trick; Apparition was looking at the guy beside her and Triad was in three minds about giving her phone number to the guy beside her (T-Purple did in the next panel to T-Orange's horror).
(Spock, meanwhile, was talking to Data. In-line behind the Three Stooges. LSH v4 #62, page 4 panel 2).
