Though, in retrospect, I bet Lightning Lord and Nemesis Kid were wishing they'd recruited the Anti-Monitor, the Time Trapper, the Time Trapper (again!), and a Giant Keyhole instead of Ron-Karr, Radiation Roy, and the Hunter.

The life expectancy of the entire cast has reduced by decades just by standing near Radiation Roy. It's the real reason DC doesn't let the characters age.

Naw. It's comics. Radiation Roy is responsible for the creation of at least thirty new superbeings by standing near them.

And the dirty little secret of the Legion is that whenever captured, Radiation Roy is held deep in the bowels of Legion HQ because his lesser known constant radiation output is the same that kept the JSA young for decades. Nura actually bathes in it.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!
Something pithy!

When someone called him Radiator Roy at the start of the Baxter run, they weren't kidding.

That was Tyr, who wanted Roy to be called "Radiator" as part of his general plan to rename all of the Legion of Super-Villains after auto-parts!

Yeah, I remember him talking to Demister Master.

The Legion of Super-Villains would be ashamed that Terra Firma not only killed a Legionnaire, but destroyed an entire planet!

They'd be pretty annoyed that TF destroyed the planet they were trying to rule!

"Hey, let's hire the League of Super-Assassins. Given their name, they *must* be successful at killing people!"

They were going to call themselves the League of Super Character Assassins but figured it was too long.

Or we could hire Deathstroke the Terminator, the World's Deadliest Assassin who, uh, Almost Killed a Titan once! Or Arcade, who charges a cool million dollars a hit to kidnap someone, build a 17.5 billion dollar theme park to kill them (instead of just slitting their throats while they're unconscious) and then fails to kill them and never gets paid! How 'bout that not-so-Fatal Five... It's a tough job being a professional killer in an industry in which, even when you *are* allowed to kill someone, they aren't allowed to stay dead for more than a year.

I thought it was short for the Fatalistic Five.

Well, the LSV DID manage to kill Rond Vidar in Legion of 3 Worlds. Course, it took their entire membership PLUS Superboy-Prime to do it...

That they were shown to be led by such a poor character made them all look so much poorer. I'm still annoyed at Earth Man being part of a slaughter, and then getting into the Legion.

"Hey, our political capital with Earth is dwindling!"
"Why don't we make that Earth-Man guy join the Legion? That'll sure to be a hit with the natives! I mean, his code name has EARTH in it!"

Didn't ol' Alternator... er... I mean Radiator himself kill of Karate Kid II? Maybe he shouldn't be replaced by that giant keyhole quite yet.

Sort of, but later they found the disfigured Roy stuck in a containment cube. It turned out Giffen Lad had taken Roy's suit and killed Karate Kid II.

I think we finally figured out what the Karate Kids real powers are. The power to die and stay dead.

I think it's his power to not stay dead that causes the universe to form a counter force. Soaring like a fiery bird of redemption, restoring balance to the universe (and eating asparagus) it's the Griffen The Giffen.
In the 31st century a second hand repo man was looking to impound a third hand time bubble at Jamaica Bay. Reacting to the return of Val Armorr into the world, he became engulfed in the Giffen Force, becoming Giffen Lad.

So Karate Kid is now the Uncle Ben of the Legion-verse.
