Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! TURNING POINTS - Major “What if” possibilities in Legion History

I'm glad you had fun with it, TN, and thanks for the compliments.

One point of elaboration about Dupe Boy. If he hadn't been so all-powerful, the Lallors may have become regular characters throughout Adventure and even Superboy, and thus perhaps in mid or later Adventure, Shooter may have rewrit the # 315 plot - Subs tryout test and winner joins legion - with the Lallors in a competition to join the Legion. I think it's more likely than not if Dupe Boy had instead been in the power-range of Ultra Boy (say a duping power but also some odd limitation or certain weakness approximating Jo's one-at-a-time qualification.)

I hope to continue my Turning Points pondering in a few days or so. Right now I'm preparing my Final Tally write-ups for Polls that are closing soon. I'll try to squeeze it in when I can.

Just bumping for now. Maybe I'll get back to it soon.

One interesting thing to point out is that the Heroes of Lallor were reader-generated characters. I'm not sure how that would effect one's analysis of the situation, but Hamilton/Weisinger might have been loathe to turn reader-suggested Legionnaires into villains.

They did do that, however, in a way with the Murran spies, so I'm not sure if the consideration is relevant at all.
