Yes, DC really must have enjoyed letting their readers see versions of beloved characters killing each other.
Sigh. If the post ZH founders appear in such a comic...!
I'll just take that page and enjoy it for the moment.

Mon-el appears in the last page of Justice League United #5, as a lead-in to the upcoming storyline. He basically says he's there to kill Ultra so that the future can survive.

Should the Television Trouble Finder on the homepage be updated with these appearances or are they not Legiony enough?

Is anyone following the Smallville Legion in the digital "Smallville Season 11 Continuity"? The legion are fairly minor but still an interesting read.
The first part comes out in paper in December.

I felt it was important to mention this here, but apparently, DC had actually intended to reveal an evil version of the Legion in the latest Superboy volume. I found this out because Joe Prado had done a character design for an evil Lightning Lad, which I acquired from him at NYCC this month. I don't know if Joe did any other designs, nor do I know why DC scrapped them for the sake of those Legion knock-offs.

DC's expanded promo art for the 2015 "Convergence" event shows the classic founders with either Superboy or Superman. It looks like Superboy to me. Either way, hopefully the Legion will play some part in the event.

Thanks kenaustin. It looks like the Legionnaires are fairly young in that photo. Garth looks like he could be a teen.

Yeah, the Legionnaires look young, but it's confusing because they're wearing Baxter era outfits.

Continuity shakeup again, perhaps. Like with Legion: Secret Origins where (if I recall right) some Legionnaires wore costumes different from their Adventure Era costumes.

https://www.facebook.com/legionworl...4243/858210354200990/?type=1&theaterSo XS and Leviathan's headgear make this the Reboot era Legion, but Ferro's costume is the SW6 version's. The other Legionnaires shown here could be from either era.

Live Wire's costume - with the yellow arm stripes - is SW6 as well. And the gimmick of the Convergence event means this should probably be an immediate pre-Zero Hour team. XS... *shrug*. Does the writer know the difference?

Honestly, I'm getting as many of these as I can for reasons...anyways. BUT That does bring up a great point if they knew what was what. Or if they were merging the two for reasons? IDK, but all I care about is some form of the legion/ legions that mean so much to me.
It's one of those "Shut up and take my Money!" moments perhaps

One of the full page spreads in Multiversity #2 showing all the heroes at the Orrery of Worlds has Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl in attendance (Looks like v.3 Pre-Baxter costumes, but it could also be generic Cos/Imra costumes).

Justice League #40 has a two page spread showing the CoIE battle against the Anti-Monitor. Lots of Legionnaires.

Superman #40 has a variant cover featuring the Legion but no actual appearance in the issue itself.

When DC first rebooted us all into the Nu52, we were told that the original "Crisis on Infinite Earths" and all of the subsequent reboots had not occurred. Now, it seems that someone has finally changed their minds on that one.

The pre-Crisis, post Crisis, post Zero Hour and Flashpoint universes all existed and are known to Metron in JL #40 and Brainiac in Convergence. Which is how the pre-Crisis Supergirl can watch herself die in Convergence:Adv of Superman
