nicely done! I figured Nura out, but wasn't sure about Brainy (as indeed not around... but then Mysa left before the Wars too no?)

In the Black Dawn flashback issue, I think Nura was also shown with an updated costume. But not at the time of Magic Wars.

In the Black Dawn flashback issue, I think Nura was also shown with an updated costume. But not at the time of Magic Wars. She does, but I think it's basically just a denim jacket. So extra points and next question to thoth lad!!

Mysa basically resigned in protest about what they were doing with Infinite Man, no?

That's what I was trying to remember - did she say "I Quit" or just kind of go AWOL?

Made a "is this what we've come to, the end justifying the means," comment, rejected that stance, and disappeared in a puff of magic.

seemed like she'd quit, anyway. I'd say Mysa's status was at least equal to Tasmia's?

Mysa was of course involved in the Magic Wars but that was more a case of the Legion coming to her rather than the other way around, and she was still wearing the same outfit.

yeah, that was my memory. It's like Star Boy and Cosmic Boy also reappearing during the Magic Wars, but more in the role of Reservists than because they had returned to active membership.
Dream Girl was different, she was with Atmos initially but I don't recall her actually resigning.

Just in case it got lost, Thoth was the winner and has the next question.

Superman battles Father Time above the streets of 20th century Metropolis! But who is this villain from 1000 years in the future?

That was a good guess, but it was not The Knave of Krypton.

Oh I know this - but I've forgotten. I remember there was a Legion connection in that he ended up in an alternate 30th Century where he had to battle the chief of a tribe who was wearing a Superman costume.
Was it Chameleon Boy/Man?

No, but the colour turns up a lot. Oh I know this - but I've forgotten. I remember there was a Legion connection in that he ended up in an alternate 30th Century where he had to battle the chief of a tribe who was wearing a Superman costume.
Was it Chameleon Boy/Man? That is the story, and a sweeping one it is. I can picture TMK enjoying it a lot. The person behind it did resemble a Furlan, but the answer is who he represents.

Hmmm. I'm reasonable certain this doesn't happen in a Legion title, is that a correct assumption?

It was not Brainiac. But it was a Green Lantern. The Time Trapper had wiped out parallel realities to ensure theat there would be no Legion of Super Heroes. He used the power of the Green Lanterns to do it. Green Lantern of the 30th century enlists Superman's help to restore the correct future, involving a battle with the mightiest man of the future, Jaxon. It's a single issue tale that would inspire a whole DC Event these days, up to the point it's ruined by editorial dumbing down. It also ties in some Kamandi continuity and is clearly the sort of thing that TMK were looking at for their Glorithverse. Over to you stile!

Now I've got the answer I can look it up again.
Superman #295 from 1976 by Elliot S! Maggin, Curt Swan and Bob Oksner. That was a bit of a crazy story - a Superman tale that attempted also to reconcile the LSH and Kamandi futures as parallel futures. I thought I was remembering correctly about the Green Lantern but he had antennae which was why I was side-tracked to Cham. Theoretically it's a Time Trapper story but he never appears and is only mentioned as the cause by the Green Lantern after everything is fixed.
Great trivia question Thoth.
Back in the day it was not uncommon for various legionnaires to travel back to Superboy's time to either help him with a case or more often distract Lana Lang from her suspicions about Clark and Superboy. How did Colossal Boy help out on one such occasion?

Nice job Stile! I'll have to check out that issue on the app.
I think I remember reading this in one of the SA Omnis. Did he impersonate Clark himself?
