Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Brainy's Mystery Figure?(Spoilers)

Brainy's accomplice was getting reading to jump through the transmatter in a mere 10 minutes (in secret, mind you), so I don't think it was Lyle, Tasmia, Cham or anyone else we saw later in the issue. Projectra is a good guess (were those snake eyes?) but I got the distinct impression it was a male.

Barry said there was an unrevealed character who would play a large role in issue #5. I'm guessing it's Mystery Boot Guy, who (wishful thinking) might also be T-Wolf.

I hope it's not Timber Wolf. His last few incarnations have ruined this character for me.

I also hope it's not Shikari. I'm sure she'll show up eventually, but I hope not yet. We haven't even met all of the current Legion yet.

I guess I'm hoping for Mon-El or someone else who's already on the team.

Next issue is "Lyle's fateful decision..."

Can someone zip us up a scan of the panel in question?

I don't think it's her, but for all we know Shady's eyes might be able to light up when she's enveloped in her darkfield.

Besides, that face (what we can see of it) seems masculine to me.

Shadow Kid, then?

Probably not, but it would be interesting if Brainy had somehow recruited a "side Legion" of his own.

Brainy's Mystery Figure? He's pear-shaped! That explains the labcoats and the baggy pants for all those years...

I don't think it's remotely possible, but I thought 'Silver Slasher' when I first glanced at that panel.

Invisible Kid or a 'new' character seem likeliest, to me.

I like the idea of Timberwolf, the idea of brains using the brawny beast.

Seeing it WAY up close like that, the figure looks FEMININE to me now. Hmmmm.... I certainly hope it isn't any Legionnaire we're already aware is on the team, and I certainly hope it isn't Shikari.

I'm going to hold out hope that Mystery Boots Lad is actually a Mystery Boots LASS, and that the mysterious figure is Laurel Gand....

My first instinct was that it was Atom Girl/Violet. She is still a mystery character to some on the team apparently, and would have no trouble leaving the room unseen.

Transmatter? As in teleportation? Why would someone secretly teleport to see Brainy and leave?

Of the planets mentioned not being overly liked by the Legion we have Daxam and Lallor.

Lar or Laurel Gand or heck Duplicate Boy those marks at the bottom of the shadowy figure looks like Duplicate Boy's markings???

I say Laurel.

I'm afraid it's Shikari. She's gray, she has no irises and those two pointy marks could be her spikey armor. Does she have spikes on her elbows?

I hope I'm wrong though.

Y'know, Jim, you may very well be right. *sigh*

I just think it's too SOON to be bringing in a character from the reboot when we haven't properly met all the current cast yet.

But I'll trust Waid to make it good, if it IS her...

the person with strange looking gloves we see on the splash page for the first issue (the brown gloves with what look like bumps?)?

I *like* that one.

I thought it was Tasmia, for some reason, but the eyes were off. (If the 'glow' was just reflection, Brainy's eyes should catch the light too.)

Didn't even think of Shikari. I gotta say if it is Shikari and Waid manages a good tale/explanation out of it I shall bend more towards this Legion and Waid.

Or it can be some obscure Silver Age character, doh!

I'm with Vee. My first and only impression was that it was Invisible Kid, especially since he is to be featured in issue #4. Imagine two smart guys like them teaming up on the same side against the other Legionnaires!

It doesn't SOUND like Shikari, unless she's learned better English/Interlac. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't she have the ability to find/open portals by herself? Then she wouldn't _need_ the transmatter.

(Of course, there's my pet theory that she's behind the transmatters, and is possibly the Brande-equivalent of this team).

I like the Timber Wolf idea...

Shikari couldn't create Thresholds, only navigate from portal to portal. I'm leaning toward it being Shikari too. Who knows when she arrived in this reality? Perhaps long enough to have mastered proper Interlac (I do hope they keep Interlac in this reality.) "Green Legion" was one of her chums in the Zero Hour Legion, so maybe she gravitated toward him in this one too?

Maybe Shikari's appearance in this reality prompted the formation of the current Legion. What if she's one of the founders? !O.o!


Ya just gotta love conspiracy threads. I'm sure that Barry's reading this with a big grin on his face.

Well, how WOULD Shikari have said, "How soon can you have the transmatter set up?" If we slip a simple little phrase like "Green Legion" in at the end:

"How soon can you have the transmatter set up, Green Legion?" it sounds just like her.

Mystery Boot Boy = Ferro Boy????

My mistake. For some reason, I thought 'Kari opened the thresholds herself.

Looking at the panel again, I can't help but think the face (especially the eyes) looks a bit artificial. So I'm going to go out on a lim, and guess Computo.

Anti-Lad? Tyroc? It could be almost anyone!
