I can't believe I didn't recognize Dawny's arm in JSA #1! And she's wearing the Legion ring too!
Ah well, I didn't expect to see her so I didn't see her, that's all I can say in my defence!
Omni Craig, they weren't allowed to use Dawny from the beginning of the current Legion or just recently? If it's the latter, I guess there are two possibilities. Either the powers that be are planning to make her a part of another "Legion" reality, parallel to the one we know (a new book with the classical Legion maybe?
) or they want to avoid another "how can she be in the 31st/21st Century, that's impossible yatta yatta yatta" bruhaha from Legion fans when everything is resolved. Many of us are nitpickers anyway.
My current "theory" (and fantasy) is that they're going to bring the classic Legion back, as the 31st Century's "JSA", with the current Legion being the "JLA". Please, feel free to disprove this theory.
(I'd so love a third Legion book featuring the classic Legion of Super-Heroes, alternate-reality or not). Sigh..
