I like those thigh-highs with the holes. That’s all I got. TRIPLICATE GIRL (Luornu Durgo, aka Duo Damsel, Triad & Una)Silver Age Triplicate Girl:-Triplicate Girl was one of the very first inductees of the Legion of Super-Heroes, which makes sense because she’s rather silly and not that well-thought-out as a concept (I mean, a regular girl turning into THREE PEOPLE? And she fights CRIME with … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Triplicate Girl & Bouncing Boy

… Some characters are just kind of a GIFT to artists, ya know? DREAM GIRL (Nura Nal, aka Miss Terious, Dreamer)-Dream Girl’s another one of those curious “really? You want in with THAT power?” types that show up all over the Pre-Crisis DC Universe, so of course she has to save the whole team dozens of times. The rest of the time, she’s a Deanna … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Dream Girl & Star Boy

And now- a trio of Legionnaires most iconic for DYING! FERRO LAD (Andrew Nolan, aka Ferro)Ferro Lad- The Legion’s Sacrifice:-Ferro Lad is one of those little hints that the Legion series, in spite of it’s goofiness, was a little more serious than many other books at the time. Where else could a team book actually have a character DIE in one of his first missions? This was … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Ferro Lad, Chemical King & Kid Psycho

That curly hair, man. The first Aqualad has the same fandom. ELEMENT LAD (Jan Arrah, aka Alchemist, Progenitor)Silver Age Element Lad:-Element Lad has been a recurring Legion character since the early days, usually with some form of “E” on his chest, along with a variety of pink. With the ability to change ANYTHING into ANYTHING, he basically got focus every time the writers needed to … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Element Lad & Shvaughn Erin

BRAINIAC 5 (Querl Dox, aka Brainiac 5.1)Brainiac 5- The Most Important Legionnaire Ever:-There is absolutely NOBODY on this team who is more important that Querl Dox (notably, ALWAYS called “Brainy” or “Brainiac 5” in every issue I have featuring the character). Every single aspect of the team more or less depends on him. Brainiac 5 is a fascinating concept, and matters more to the Legion … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Brainiac 5 & Magno

COLOSSAL BOY (Gim Allon, aka Leviathan, Micro Lad)Silver Age:-Gim “Colossal Boy” Allon is one of those characters who always seemed to fit in funny, from what I’ve read up on him. Superboy, Ultra Boy & Mon-El were always more powerful, the original trio had that level of epicness to them, Brainiac was smarter, Blok & Chameleon Boy were iconic in appearance, and guys like Wildfire … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Colossal Boy & Chameleon Girl

CHAMELEON BOY (Reep Daggle) Chameleon Boy- The Only Non-Caucasian Legionnaire:-Seeing as how the ENTIRE CONCEPT of the Legion of Super-Heroes was based off of teenage aliens from across the universe banding together, it seems kind of odd that only ONE out of the first thirty or so entrants was anything but a caucasian-looking attractive person. But hey, it was the ’50s & ’60s- they hadn’t … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Chameleon Boy & R.J. Brande
