Advantageous was the word Giffen used when spoofing the writing and art of some Image artistsand their wince inducing poses.

The lead singer in the Buggles would go to produce bands such as Yes,ABC, Frankie goes to Hollywood and Seal. Sometimes following a producers career makes it easier to find a sound you like than listening to lots of new bands.

“Great Scott!” was one of the exclamations that Superman used.

The Great Scott was secretly jealous of all the comics Superman got. "He looks up to me, and what do I get?" he was heard to say over a pint of bitter in the pub.

The Great Scott is also a nickname used derisively for Mister Miracle.

Jo Nah's joke name was even remarked on in his introduction. "Just like Biblical Jonah got swallowed by a whale..."

On of the big unanswered question about Jo Nah's origin story was what Marla Latham did with his time in Smallville. Did he go to the nearest bar and get drunk? Did he fix Professor Lang's maths or put a hoax artefact in his collection? Perhaps he nipped off to kill Booster Gold who was having a time travel issue from the future and wanted to join the Legion himself?

Perhaps he fathered his own ancestor, which created the time paradox that allowed Glorith to come to power and eventually led to Zero Hour?

Uh oh! Having Marla do that on Jo's initiation would be far too tempting for TMK. They'd add that into another layer of their Mary Sue plot for him in their run!

Jo: Nass! Marla's drunk himself unconscious after sleeping in with that girl from the Smallville Super Bar. Clearly, even him puking all over our time bubble is all part of Glortih's plan to manipulate the timestream. I'm must get back to the 30th century and use my ultra acting powers to pretend to be a jock from now on.

>sigh< why couldn't this timeline follow my original mission, to use my penetra-vision to catalogue the underwear of the 20th century?

I sometimes wonder why, when they were choosing a Legionnaire to be revealed as Jewish back in the 70s, they didn't go with "Jo Nah" as the obvious candidate, but I suppose the whole not being from Earth thing is probably the main reason.
