Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! The all-ADVENTURE COMICS 350 & 351 Thread!

A little trivia about this story: Every single member of the extensive cast, including Subs, Pets, WW, etc. has a speaking role and is shown using his/her powers at least once, EXCEPT 2 who don't speak and 2 who don't use their powers. Can you name them?

Crap! Now I wanna do this, but I've gotta go back to work...!!

I could be wrong, but I think Karate Kid neither speaks nor uses his powers.

Wow, great trivia question Jim. I could only guess and likely not even come close. Does Phantom Girl ever use her powers? I don't recall.

Non-speaking: Stone Boy and Sun Boy?

This is totally just guessing.

I know I've seen this question before, but have no idea what the answer is!

Karate Kid does not speak, but he does use his powers in a flashback scene (he smashes a runaway speedster before it can run down some kids playing in the street)

Phantom Girl does speak, "DId you have to hit him so hard, Kid?" but does not use her powers, so you're halfway there, Team.

Okay, let me enlighten you (pun intended):

Light Lass, the doublemint twin, appears in a mere 1 panel in this whole 2-parter. If you look at it, it looks like Curt Swan just tucked her into the background, so he could say every member is included [though she does appear as a figurine a couple of times].

Ayla neither enlightens us with her opinion on the subject, nor with her powers, so she is the other answer to both parts of the question.

What a compliment to Nura, Thom and Chuck that their re-admission apparently makes the Legion strong enough to handle anything the universe might toss their way.

And notice how none of these 3 are present during the subsequent Sun-Eater arc which resulted in Ferro Lad's death?

What have we learned?

a) Nura, Thom & Chuck are the toughest Legionnaires?

b) Shooter did not have access to Bridwell's script prior to writing Adventure 352-353?

c) Mort W. smacked both writers around after some letterhack sent him a missive detailing this ginormous inconsistency?

d) Shooter got off the hook after showing Mort the scene in Bridwell's tale where Ferro Lad is reduced to cinders?

e) The prediction of Cosmic Boy's fate that is "too dreadful" for him to know is later revealed as his baldness in the Adult Legion tale?

f) All of the above?

Definitely f)

I thought it was neat, how in the future people get taller when they walk towards you.

Hmm... it's possible that Andy was thinking: "Jeepers! If that hideous old hag can be changed into a gorgeous gal by magic, maybe it could do something with my ol' ugly puss!"
