You got it!

Admittedly, I'm taking a few liberties with this. But in the Reboot, RJ Brande says that he and Leland McCauley have been rivals "since before Oothmar was a pup." So I assumed Oothmar was a dog.

Over to you thothy!

"Pup" could refer to a number of animals...seal, for example.

That said, I certainly didn't remember this at all...great question.

It's presumably a variation on the original idiom "Since Hector was a pup" so I'm not sure we can really infer anything about Oothmar's species from it.

Indeed. I would have accepted seal, or any other animal whose young is a pup.

and thanks. this was a throwaway line from LSH 63, our first introduction to the Reboot Leland (and to the Reboot Legion's HQ).

I've heard the phrase as "since Adam was a pup" so actually referring to a human who lived a long time ago, hence even longer ago when they were a child, not actually dog related at all. The Hector version refers to a character in Greek mythology.

It was an interesting question anyway.

Well...

Now that I know I'm not going to be lynched for the question, shall we move on?

But... we haven't solve the important question of whether any part of Oothmar can be used as a propeller!

That depends. How springy are Oothmar's ears?

Is that the next trivia question? Brainiac5 where Oothmar first traveled to?

*Gasp*! A little research has come up with this totally genuine picture of Oothmar, when he was a pup!

Wiener dog!

Makes me miss my childhood wiener dog... but now I know, he's using his ears to fly alongside the angels.

I am having login issues. It fails on 3 PC browsers. I was logged in on the phone anyway, and will keep logged in. New Q in a bit.

I was trying to concentrate a question, but got annoyed at a constant noise above me. I looked up to curse the drones, only to get lifted away by the paws of Oothmars, their little beany propellers rotating at great speeds!

So, there'll be a question along shortly, now I'm back.

Ibby gets it right first time. It's *another* Blue Devil appearance in the Legion.

It's difficult to forget Lori's sweater - she wore it almost every appearance, and one issue even shows she has a closet full of those (courtesy of the Athramites)!

Which Legionnaire once said that she had spent her whole life waiting to hear that her mother had died?
