It is Superman!

Action Comics #289 when Kara decides to play Cupid for Supeman and find him the perfect mate. After using her super-domestic skills to clean the Fortress at super-speed, Superman offers her a favour as a reward and she takes him into the future to the time of the Adult Legion. It is Christmas and she arranges for Superman and Saturn Woman to meet under some mistletoe where they proceed to kiss until her husband Garth objects at which point Kara's scheme falls apart.

Before the smooching, the Legion presents the super two with Christmas presents (photographs of each of them with their parents on Krypton taken with the Legion's time-scope) and realising they had forgotten to bring presents they dash into space to recover an anti-gravity meteor which the legionnaires can put into their belts to allow them to fly without their "bulky jets", as demonstrated by Sun Man and Phantom Woman. Of course this history would have been changed by later-earlier occurrences but for this Adult Legion it would seem to be the origin of their anti-gravity belts.

Sorry Ibby but Thoth has taken away the final prize. Your turn Thoth.

ah nice guessing thoth, nice Q stile. and that pesky continuity!!

Great question and nice job thoth! I couldn't figure out an intelligent answer to chime in with! That's a deep cut, right there!

After having Cosmic King's transmutation powers fail, I just followed on Ibby's coat tails there. New Q shortly...

Complete the quote...

"I'm beginning to think I should just have stayed home and become a [BLANK], like everybody else..."

I was going to tell you who the quote was from .then I thought it could go for a bonus.
I could have also finished off the sentence, but it did contain the homeworld. So, that can be an add on, if it's too tough.

[BLANK] may be one or more words.

Theoretical scholar, like everyone else on Colu, Brainiac 5?

It is not Brainy. It's not Colu. Although, there is a link of sorts to it in the answer.

Sounds familiar ...

Financial analyst like everyone else on Naltor?

That sounds like a Giffen line if ever I heard one but I dunno where from!

EDIT: no wait! I think it's Gigi Cusimano! But I don't remember the actual line

(I am probably barking way up the wrong tree lol)

… stay at home parent? On… what could be linked to Colu… uh…

Lawyer like everyone else on Bizmoll?

Sounds like someone who's exasperated...maybe Dr. Gym'll thinking he should have stayed home and become a normal doctor, instead of treating Legionnaires?

Not Naltor or financial analyst



Giffen was part of the writing team on this one,so very much in the right neck of the woods. It's not Gigi. Slight operational connection between what the science police do as an organisation, and the group our character is involved with.



Not a stay at home parent. Perhaps thinking of some stories involving Colu might help.



Not a Bismollian lawyer, which also channels Giffen though.



This character is indeed exasperated by their situation. It's one of their central character traits. It's not Gym'll or a doctor.

Chief Zendak? an accountant?

Okay, my new wild assertion is that this is from that story where the Subs beat Pulsar Stargrave by dropping Stone Boy on him but I am still blanking on the actual line

that sounds like a likely story for it tbh!

I'm going to stretch and guess that it's from the peripherally-related series L.E.G.I.O.N. and that it's Garryn Bek, saying he should have just become a corrupt cop like everyone else on Cairn.

Not Zendak and accountancy. There's a law enforcement overlap of sorts again though...



I could easily see that being in that scene,now you've pointed out what a Giffeny line it is. But it's not the story here.



Because it was indeed Garryn Bek talking about Cairn. He's sitting on Colu awaiting the arrival of Lobo to kill him. But it's not a corrupt cop, but something else Cairn has a major problem with.

Drug addict?

That's it! Garryn wondered why he didn't just stay on Cairn to be a drug addict like everyone else. He'd get his chance to return home in the team's very next mission. O er to you Chaim!

Nice one Chaim!

nice Q thoth. nice going CMK!

Thanks! OK, a new question...

At a time when Brainiac 5, Dream Girl and Mon-El were all unavailable to the team, who did the Legion leader at that time turn to as the Legion's current top scientist?

Invisible Kid?

Nope.
