Lee was aware of comic books, but not an avid reader, before we met. Once we started dating, I got him hooked on Neil Gaiman's Sandman, which he is now probably a bigger fan of than I. Lee REALLY likes non-superhero comics like David Mack's Kabuki, The Books of Magic, and basically most anything Vertigo.
Lee really liked the current crop of superhero movies, and will usually come to me and get back information about them (for example, he knows more about X-men than he ever bargained for.) He read Crisis on Infinite Earths a while back, and found the dialogue simplistic... but that WAS his first exposure to the Legion... of whom he had heard me talk about, but never witnessed for himself. He thought they were cute, but was asking me about their names. "Element Lad? Don't you think that's kind of silly?"
"Oh, if you think that one is silly, you should try Triplicate Girl!"
"TRIPLICATE GIRL?" Lee stared at me. "What does she do, file things really well? Is she some sort of super-secretary?"
So I told him about Lu, watching his disbelieving grin get wider and wider. And then he asked "And who's this this beach ball looking guy who bounces all over the place? Ball Boy?"
"That's, um, Bouncing Boy."
"Bouncing Boy?" Lee's grin got bigger.
"Yeah! You know, actually, he and Triplicate Girl got married..."
"Well, I'M SURE THEY DID..."
Hilarity then ensued.
I love the Legion.
