When Superman decides to depart for his own time, Brainiac 5 accompanies him to the time travel lanes and is captured by the villains moments after the man of Steel vanishes. Then, because Lana Lang refuses to watch when she catches Superboy changing clothes, he rewards her by taking her to a leg meeting. Changing to her costumed identity of insect Queen. Lana tours 30th century metropolis and after meeting Dream Girl, decides to apply for Legion membership. Confused? Don't worry, I'll be right back with doctor Husband to explain everything.

Yeah, I've got a little list now that I'm done with my class. I've got some little chores to do and some fun to be had. And where are we going on Friday? 41 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:58.000 We're going down to Southern Virginia, to Nellisford. Pick up your flute. Your new Irish flute. 42 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.000 My Irish flute? Yes. 43 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.000 Maybe we'll have time to swing over to the Walton's Family Museum. 44 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:12.000 We'll do whatever we want. You can do anything you want, but you can choose one thing and that'll be your favorite thing and the only thing we do. 45 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:19.000 You know, I'd like to go to the National Mall on the Fourth of July at 11pm to watch the fireworks where you're not allowed to bring a chair or water. 46 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.000 You're kidding. 47 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.000 No. 48 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:25.000 You're not allowed to bring water or a chair? No. Wow. Why? 49 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:32.000 Security. Because there's a big Trump rally ahead of time. That's why they're delaying the fireworks till 11pm wow. Happy birthday, America. 50 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:33.000 Wow. 51 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:34.000 I hope you like crap. 52 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.000 Yeah. Good. 53 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:47.000 I went to the National Mall one time for the fireworks. I believe you were away doing region and it was the most miserable thing that's ever happened to me. I left before the fireworks. 54 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:48.000 Really? 55 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.000 Yeah. 56 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.000 Why was it miserable? 57 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:54.000 Because it was a billion degrees and it was the National Mall where there's no shade. 58 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.000 Yes. Yeah. 59 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.000 And I also hate fireworks, so. 60 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.000 I do, too. I'm surprised you went, but, you know, whatever. 61 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.000 Well, I had guests in town. 62 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.000 Yeah, it made sense. 63 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.000 Yeah, but we all hated it. We all left. 64 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.000 Oh, okay. 65 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.000 We practically write A book about what happened to me a minute ago in the grocery store and before. 66 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.000 What? 67 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:20.000 While I was driving down the road and I saw that little boxer that the neighbor got on their critter cam. 68 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:21.000 Yes. Where's it from? 69 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:25.000 I don't know, but I almost hit it. It was running straight down the middle of the road. 70 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:26.000 Oh, my God. 71 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:40.000 Which way? That way or that way? Coming towards us. Swan Pond Road. And I went over that first hill and there it was right in the middle of the road. So I turn around and followed it and it went down Azure Drive. I couldn't get it to stop. 72 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.000 Oh, my God. This listener. There's like a little French boxer. 73 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:46.000 Yeah, yeah. 74 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:50.000 Has been getting out of someone's house and running the neighborhoods. 75 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.000 Is it getting out of someone's house or is it astray? 76 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.000 I don't know. I have no idea. 77 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.000 Have you seen it before? 78 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.000 Yeah, I. Well, I mean, I saw it last week. 79 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.000 On the picture? 80 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:09.000 No, I saw it like two mornings afterward. It darted. I was walking the dogs and it saw us and ran away. Yeah. 81 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.000 Well, I hope it's not a stray. 82 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:12.000 Well, me too. 83 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.000 It looks like it's been nursing. 84 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.000 Oh, really? 85 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:17.000 Yeah. 86 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.000 Oh, dear. 87 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:23.000 I know. That's why I was going to try to capture it and bring it home and love it from her. 88 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:29.000 Well, if you. If you caught it and it's been nursing, then it's astray. Then you'd leave the puppies. 89 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:34.000 Well, I guess you've got a point there. Yeah, well, it should be with its puppies, not running the roads then. 90 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.000 Well, maybe it's trying to get food. 91 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.000 That's true. 92 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:42.000 Yeah. We don't often see stray dogs out here. No, no. 93 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:52.000 Anyway, speaking of food, then I went to the grocery And I saw Ms. Paula. So how's Ms. Paula? She's just delightful. She looks great. She says hello. 94 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:57.000 Oh, I love her. Oh, I spoke to Ms. Deb down in Florida today. Yes, yes. 95 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:02.000 She's talking. Good, good, good, good. We have a lot of Mrs. Yes in our life. 96 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.000 Yeah. Yeah, we do, don't we? 97 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:05.000 Yes. 98 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.000 Yeah. 99 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:34.000 Well, well. Adventure comics featuring Superboy and the Legion of Superheroes. Not today, because it's the Adult Legion. Superman super what Moon Adventure Comics number 355. It's the second half of the famous Adult Legion story. Yes, we covered the first half some months ago. And it's the superheroes versus the super villains in the War of the Legions. 100 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.000 Yeah, go figure. 101 00:08:36.000 --> 00:10:01.000 On the COVID Neath a yellow sky, Superman is returning to his own time in the Legion of Supervillains. That's Cosmic King, Lightning Lord and Saturn Queen are gloating over their soon to be victory over the rest of the Legionnaires. Because the Legionnaires are all middle aged and ineffective. The Legion of Supervillains. Rob is back, stronger than ever. For a fight to the finish with the Adult Legion of Superheroes. It's the clash of the century. The 30th century that is. In the war of the Legions. We have the Legions fighting each other with their powers. And there are two armored gentlemen. I think one of them doesn't look quite like a gentleman. It might be a gentle lady. You may recall, Rob, that one time, Starboy and Dream Girl. Starboy had been expelled because he killed someone. It was self defense. And Dream Girl quit in protest because she is sweet on Star Boy. And they joined the Substitute Legion. But then they came and applied for membership in the Legion again. And dressed in armor as surprised and mysterious. You don't remember, do you? 102 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:02.000 Yes, I do. 103 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:20.000 Oh, okay. It's a similar convention here. I wonder who it could be. One has an L on their chest and one has an M. I wonder, Miles, what we actually did. 104 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.000 Read the comics that we knew, Miles. 105 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:45.000 Beneath the surface of the murky North Atlantic, a silent foreboding structure rests. And inside it's the Legion of Supervillains. They are angry because they have failed again to defeat the Hero Legion. They've captured Pharaoh Man. Now, Pharaoh man was the twin brother of Pharaoh Ladd who died on his first Legion mission. 106 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.000 Oh my. 107 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:55.000 And he was bitter. And as all twins do, he shared a psychic link with his brother. So he knew all the Legion's secrets. 108 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.000 Oh. 109 00:10:55.000 --> 00:11:05.000 And the Legion of Super Villains brainwashed him and used him to infiltrate the Adult Legion. Do you remember all that that happened in the last issue? 110 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.000 I do not. 111 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.000 Oh. Do you remember Pharaoh Ladd dying in his first mission? 112 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:10.000 Nope. 113 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:16.000 Against the Sun Eater. You have to remember, Rob. You have to. 114 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:17.000 Oh. Oh. 115 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.000 It's the most famous Legion story that ever was. 116 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:21.000 We read it together. 117 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.000 Yes. 118 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.000 Wow. Oh boy. How many comics have we read? 119 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:42.000 A lot. But I stress that it's one of the most famous, if not the most famous, Legion of Superhero stories ever printed. As is this two parter that we're finishing up right now. 120 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:47.000 I swear by Martin Gray that I will read the story again. 121 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:53.000 I'm not asking you to read it again. Would you remember it if you read it again? 122 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:57.000 Of course I would. You know, I read so many stories. 123 00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:01.000 I know, but you have such good retention. 124 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:09.000 I. Do you know what? I guarantee you If I go and get the comic and open it up, I will know immediately. I'm like, oh, yes, okay, I get it. Yes. 125 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.000 Okay. Well, it turns out I just didn't 126 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.000 want to lie to you and say that I remember. 127 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:18.000 Thank you for not lying. I'll tell you something at the end. 128 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.000 Okay. 129 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:24.000 Anyway, the Legion of Supervillains has two new members whose names we're not going to learn right now. 130 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:25.000 Okay. 131 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:42.000 But they have a plan. They first have to capture a Legionnaire. Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Adult Legion of Superheroes, Superman says there's nothing else he can do here in the future. I've got to go back to my own time. I've got work awaiting me there. 132 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:47.000 Which is funny, because even if he has work awaiting him there, he could just appear at any time. 133 00:12:47.000 --> 00:13:32.000 Yeah, true, right. Well, I don't know, because they set up a weird thing here. Brainiac 5 takes him to the time lane control. Apparently, in the Adult Legion era, time travel is so common that special lanes have been set up to prevent interdimensional crackups. So Superman has to go to the 20th century route. So I guess he could pop up anywhere within the 20th century. Oh, maybe. I don't know. So Superman leaves. Brainiac notices a weird ship hovering above as if waiting for something. 134 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.000 He. 135 00:13:33.000 --> 00:14:22.000 Even though he has a 12th level intellect, he fails to notice the giant SV emblazoned on the ship, which he realizes too late is the logo of supervillains. Much later, inside Legion headquarters, the three founding members of the Legion, Cosmic Boy. Lightning. Oh, sorry. Cosmic Man, Lightning man, and Saturn Woman, are wondering what's happened to Brainiac. They haven't seen him in hours. And just then, the floating, glowing head of Lightning Lord appears before them to explain that they have kidnapped Brainiac. Somehow, this floating head delivers three sealed envelopes. 136 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.000 Yeah, that's weird. 137 00:14:26.000 --> 00:15:16.000 And in the envelopes are five different destinations. It just so happens there are five Legionnaires on duty. We are joined now by Element man and Polar Man. They are instructed to arrive at their destinations within 15 minutes, where they will discover Brainiac's location. It's got to be a trap. Does Element Man. But Brainiac's life is at stake, so we've got to get a move on. Cosmic man reaches his appointed spot, Echo Canyon, the most perfect natural echo chamber in the world. And suddenly, he is stunned by a deafening attack. No. But who could it be? 138 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.000 What? Master of Sound. Echo. The master of sound. 139 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:42.000 Echo. The master of sound. Right. He's one of the new members, all right. Kazakh Man, Regains his senses and discovers, to his dismay, that because they are in Echo Canyon and he's fighting a man named Echo, it's not gonna turn out great for him. 140 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:46.000 No, his power is a very, very powerful foe. 141 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:55.000 Also, there's no metal, no iron, nothing for his magnetism to act on. I found that hard to believe. Since he's in a natural canyon, there 142 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.000 would be some metal ore somewhere. 143 00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:12.000 I would think so. Sure. Luckily, Cosmic man knows that sound travels through air. And air's main components, oxygen and nitrogen, are slightly paramagnetic. I did not know that. 144 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.000 I did not either. 145 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:25.000 So if Cosmic man can magnetize the air away from Echo will render his power useless and also will knock him out from suffocation. 146 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.000 Right. 147 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:44.000 So Cosmic man gets his card that tells Brainiac's location and sets off. Meanwhile, at the Universe Fair in Metropolis, Saturn Woman arrives at the Universe Tower, one of the most crowded places at the fair. 148 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:45.000 I wonder what's going on there. 149 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:46.000 It's a trap. 150 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:47.000 Of course. 151 00:16:47.000 --> 00:17:01.000 Saturn Queen is already there. She has hypnotized the crowd to attack Saturn Woman, which. Actually, I thought that was a kind of a terrifying panel. 152 00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:07.000 I did too. It looked like Saturn Moment had just back slapped. No, face slapped with the front of her hand. 153 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:26.000 Oh, no. She would never harm innocent civilians. She would allow herself to be trampled to death before she'd harm an innocent. Hypnotized her? No. Luckily, she understands that hypnosis weakens the will of the hypnotee. Hypnosee. Hypnotee. 154 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:28.000 The hypnotized person. 155 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:32.000 Yes. I was trying to use a more cultured word. 156 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:33.000 Sure. 157 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:34.000 Than that. 158 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.000 Good for you. How'd that work out for you? 159 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:56.000 It didn't. Saturn Woman uses her ESP powers. That's short for Extra Sensory Perception. These days we just call it telepathy. She mentally beamed a suggestion to their brain's sleep control centers. And because they were hypnotized, their wills were weakened and they fell right asleep. 160 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:57.000 Right. 161 00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:05.000 And now she can use her jujitsu on Saturn Queen and get Brainiac 5's location. 162 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:06.000 Yes. 163 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:08.000 I do like how this story's moving right along. 164 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.000 Me too. 165 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.000 At that moment in the power plant 166 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.000 of Metropolis Electric Company. 167 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:22.000 Wow. They're still using electricity a thousand years in the future. I thought they'd at least go to solar. 168 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:27.000 Well, I mean, you still could use electricity. I mean, solar to generate electricity. 169 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:31.000 I mean, what about nuclear or. 170 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:35.000 The goal, of course, being to. To something generate electricity. 171 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:43.000 I don't know how anything works. Okay, why don't they just have Lightning Lord, Stand there immobile. 172 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:44.000 Now, who's this Lightning Man? 173 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:46.000 Lightning Lord. 174 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.000 Lightningman. Oh, Lightning Lord. 175 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.000 Okay, well, there's Lightning Lord. 176 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.000 Lightning Lord is dressing Lightning. 177 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.000 They're brothers. 178 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.000 Okay? 179 00:18:53.000 --> 00:19:10.000 Lightning Lord is evil because on their planet of Wynnaf, the normal thing way of things is that you're born a twin. So everyone has a twin. 180 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:11.000 Okay? 181 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:16.000 But Lightning Lord was born without a twin, so of course it drove him crazy and he's angry about it. 182 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:17.000 Okay? 183 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:28.000 That's why he hates his brother and sister. His sister is Light Lass, but she was originally Lightning Lass because they were all three crash landed on a planet with Lightning Beasts and they all got lightning powers. 184 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:29.000 Wow. 185 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:36.000 But then, of course, as you probably remember, Dream Girl had a premonition that Lightning Lass was be killed. 186 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:37.000 She died, right? 187 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:38.000 She didn't die. 188 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:39.000 Oh, didn't she become something else? 189 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:48.000 She became Light Lass because Dream Girl used her Naltorian science to change her powers to. From lightning to being able to make things super lightweight. 190 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.000 Okay. I remember that. 191 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.000 Lightning Lad died. 192 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:54.000 Oh, Jesus Christ. 193 00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:57.000 But he was revived. 194 00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:58.000 Okay. 195 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:02.000 Then he lost an arm, but then his arm got put back. 196 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.000 Oh, so did he misplace it? 197 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:23.000 No, it was chopped off. And then he had a metal arm for a while. Then, as you probably also don't recall a story we read where the Luck Lords did something and fixed all the problems that the legionnaires had. Bouncing Boy got his powers back. And Matter Eater Lad was fat, but then he got thin. 198 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:24.000 I remember that. 199 00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:29.000 And then Lightning Lad got his arm back. Everything turned out great. 200 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:42.000 Well, I was so worried about tomorrow when I go on the roller coaster that because I'm in my mid-50s, that like an appendage just might fall off on the roller coaster. Like my leg just might fall off. If I do that, will I be able to sew it back on? 201 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:50.000 Well, I don't think you need to worry about things just spontaneously falling off from the forces. Get it caught in a cog or something. 202 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:53.000 I won't cut off. Yeah. I won't get it caught in a cog. 203 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:57.000 I'm sure I'll be worried all day long. 204 00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:58.000 Yeah. 205 00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:01.000 Fretting at my desk, wringing your hands 206 00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:02.000 like you're just like your mother. 207 00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:03.000 Just like my mother. 208 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:23.000 All right. So at that moment, the power plant of the Metropolis Electric Company. Greetings, Garth. Or rather Lightningman. My brother, Lightning Lord, he's using those generators to increase his power. Oh my. So they're gonna trade lightning back and forth. Except that Lightning Lord is much more powerful with standing between those gigantic electrodes. 209 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:55.000 Yes, right. Yes. Oh, I guess it is atomic power. Because Lightning man, the things. He's drawing his power from that atomic dynamo over there. So Lightning man is taking the lightning blasts pretty well. But then he raises his hands and shoots above his head, countering the current in the wires above Lightning Lord, breaking the circuit and causing feedback and taking Lightning Lord out of the game. Meanwhile. 210 00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:03.000 Meanwhile, on a volcanic plain on the island of Java, we find Polemon. Java, Java. Jabba jing jing jing ba Doom Boom. 211 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:13.000 As I'm sure you recall, Polarman as Polar Boy was the leader of the substitute heroes. But in the future of the Adult Legion, the subs have just been absorbed 212 00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:15.000 into the regular legion, okay? 213 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:27.000 As they probably should have been all along. Honestly, Cosmic man was dating Night Girl for the longest time. Of course, they're married now, so she had to retire. You can't be married, woman. 214 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:28.000 She had to give up her career. 215 00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:40.000 Yes, although I think Lightning and Saturn Woman are married. She's still going strong, but she probably used her ESP powers to. To allow the men to let her keep going. 216 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:43.000 Oh, okay. 217 00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:46.000 Suddenly. Hello, Polar Man. 218 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:47.000 Uh oh, who's this woman? 219 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:51.000 The name is Beauty Blaze, if you're interested. 220 00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.000 Uh oh. A gorgeous woman. 221 00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:54.000 Gulp. A dame. 222 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:57.000 Mm. She's got a fire medallion. 223 00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:58.000 You know what that means. 224 00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.000 He's in trouble. 225 00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:09.000 She's got fire powers. Well, that's the worst possible foe that could go against him. Yeah, SAP his cold powers dry. 226 00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:15.000 Well, why couldn't he just like, overwhelm her with cold? Because he's on Java. 227 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:51.000 Well, because he's wearing fur is the first issue, so he's already going to be hot. I mean, I wouldn't. I'd be fine against her. I could take all her power and then some. Finally be warm. So she surrounds him in a ring of fire. He's weakening. There's only one chance. The hardened lava rock beneath him is heated by volcanic magma far below the surface. If he can just cool it enough for the difference in temperature to crack open the ground, allowing for him to escape. 228 00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:52.000 Wow. 229 00:23:52.000 --> 00:24:00.000 He sneaks up behind her and taps her on the shoulder with an icy touch. I guess that's what it looks like. 230 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.000 Puts her out. Yeah. 231 00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:18.000 Now he gets the information. Meanwhile, in the chemical laboratory that is the destination of Element man, he comes up upon Cosmic King. Now, you might think that Cosmic King is going to have magnetic powers like Cosmic man does. 232 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.000 No. 233 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.000 Oh no. 234 00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:21.000 What does he do? Have his element changing powers. 235 00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:42.000 Element changing powers Like Element Man? Of course, he doesn't seem to have quite the experience of Element Man. Because Element man easily counters his every move, then changes the floor beneath him into slippery mercury, which will floor him. 236 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:43.000 Get it? 237 00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:54.000 Also poison him, because mercury is poisonous to humans. Although we don't know that Cosmic King is human, and we don't know where he came from. Element man is the last survivor of his planet. 238 00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:55.000 Okay. 239 00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:56.000 Where everyone had elementary powers. 240 00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:57.000 Wow. 241 00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:05.000 So who knows where Cosmic King, how that happened? Well, he finishes things off with a 242 00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:11.000 punch, as one should. 243 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:23.000 Because we find out that Element man took the precaution of changing all nearby objects to cadmium, which absorbs plutonium neutrons, preventing an explosion as Cosmic King was trying to turn everything into plutonium. 244 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:27.000 And apparently, all of the members of the Legion of Supervillains. 245 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.000 Yes. 246 00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:30.000 Are holding index cards. 247 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:32.000 Yes. 248 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:34.000 With the location of Brainiac 5 printed on them. 249 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:48.000 Yes. And that location is the undersea headquarters of the supervillains. Now, I was under the impression that all the supervillains had been defeated. 250 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:49.000 Right? 251 00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:56.000 I don't know why the Legion didn't take the five minutes it would take to get them all to the jail. 252 00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:57.000 Yet they left them. 253 00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:07.000 They left them to go find Brainiac 5. And also the supervillains beat them back to the location of where Brainiac 5 is. 254 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:09.000 Well, there's a reason for that. 255 00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:16.000 The reason is I'm reading it right now. I did not remember the story that I read 15 minutes ago. 256 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:19.000 Really? I read it yesterday before my nap. 257 00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:35.000 Well, I read it a couple weeks ago, and then I also read it today, actually. They didn't really defeat the supervillains, but solid, lifelike images created by the machine that cast Lightning Lord's face on their wall when he originally delivered the envelopes. 258 00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:55.000 Okay. I mean, they. Solid lifelike images. Every member of that fought a member. Every member of the Legion of Superheroes that fought a member of the Legion of Supervillains that fought with. I mean, like, they touched them. They got close to them. This must be amazing technology that replicates 259 00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:58.000 the holograms like the doctor on. 260 00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:01.000 Oh, yes, yes. 261 00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:20.000 Now, the superheroes are walking right into the trap because they think the supervillains are already defeated. So they walk in, they see Brainiac 5. He's in a giant test tube, but Brainiac 5 is shouting. They can't hear him because he's locked to test tube, and he's got his 262 00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:21.000 hands tied behind his back. 263 00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:28.000 His hands are tied behind his back, but he's shouting. Why doesn't Saturn Woman just read his mind? 264 00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:32.000 Poor Brainiac 5. What if he had to use the restroom? 265 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:45.000 Get out of Here. I've been holding this a long time. It's really gotta blow. Gasp Suddenly, the supervillains sneak up behind them. 266 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:46.000 But how? 267 00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:50.000 And a mighty battle ensues. With lots of visible use of powers. 268 00:27:50.000 --> 00:28:07.000 Caught totally unaware, the legionnaires fall back before the crushing attack. They're each facing their foes. Of course, they've been weakened. They are weakened as they fought with the solid light versions of the supervillains. 269 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:18.000 And with the same suddenness with which it had started. The battle is over. The super villains have won. The legion of supervillains is supreme. 270 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:19.000 But just then, what happens? 271 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:24.000 In walks two people, two armored figures 272 00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:29.000 dressed in what appears to be. Yeah, armor. But like futuristic armor. 273 00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:42.000 Yes. Even though one of them has a very 20th century rifle slung around his shoulder. All right, what does armor sound like? 274 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:45.000 Well, we don't have a cannon here, but yeah, I guess that would be. 275 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:46.000 He uses the cat bowl. 276 00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:49.000 No. It's full of food. It's full of food. Yeah. 277 00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:57.000 Their armor hides their identities. But no matter. The legion of supervillains are instructed to kill them. 278 00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:59.000 Kill them? 279 00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:04.000 One of them has the ability to make things super heavy and super lightweight. 280 00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:05.000 Wow. 281 00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:19.000 Which they use on the super villains. And the other one, the short one, has magic. He uses his magic to paralyze Beauty Blaze. And so the captive superheroes are released. 282 00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:25.000 We're very grateful, but who are you? Why did you save us? Says Lightning Lass. 283 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:26.000 Saturn Woman. 284 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:26.000 Saturn Woman. 285 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:27.000 Whatever. 286 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:28.000 Sorry. 287 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.000 As the leaden helmets are removed. 288 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:36.000 Oh my God. Gasp Gasp in Spanish Es Lex Luthor. 289 00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:47.000 I'm Lex Luthor. I used my scientific know how to give myself the powers of two former legionnaires, Starboy and Light Lass. And I'm Mr. Mxy. 290 00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:48.000 Yes. Piklick. 291 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:51.000 GASP Two of Superman's greatest enemies. 292 00:29:51.000 --> 00:30:04.000 Ah, but we aren't really Superman's foes. Which they're 30th century. Well, we are their 30th century descendants. It was hard to live down our ancestors reputations, but we figured we could do it by joining the Legion. 293 00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:09.000 It won't be easy to win their confidence. The first Lex Luthor has fought them in the past. 294 00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:15.000 And my brother once tried to wipe them out. As told in adventure number 130. 295 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:23.000 Wait a minute, brother. Why do they say descendants? We're their 30th century descendants now all of a sudden. 296 00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:28.000 Well, you don't know how long the interdimensional imps live. 297 00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:42.000 Forever, apparently. Now one nit to pick. Lex Luthor of the 20th century was not bald by genetics. 298 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:47.000 He was bald from a Scientific accident that went wrong. Which he blamed Superman on. 299 00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:49.000 I'm proud of you for knowing all that. 300 00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:52.000 Well, that's an easy one. 301 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:53.000 So I don't. 302 00:30:53.000 --> 00:31:09.000 Bouncing Boy getting his powers back was not an easy one for me to remember. Nor the lightning last becoming light last because of some psychic vision by Saturn Dames. Old. Yeah, right. Or the Luck Gods or whatever they were. 303 00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:10.000 Luck Lords. 304 00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:13.000 Okay, 305 00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:26.000 so I don't know why his 30th century descendant should be bald. Unless he's just doing it as an homage to his famous ancestor. But he's ashamed of his ancestor for his life of villainy. So he should have a full luscious head of red hair. 306 00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:30.000 Yes. 307 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:42.000 Mr. Mcjlik got them into the headquarters by magic. They found the clue to where they were. They traced them and arrived just in time. And why the lead suits? 308 00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:46.000 Well, we feared you wouldn't accept us if you knew who we were, so we planned to apply incognito. 309 00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:47.000 Don't bother. 310 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:50.000 Is that because Superman might see through their lead suits? 311 00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:51.000 Yeah. 312 00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:52.000 Okay. 313 00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:54.000 Also, Ultraman could see through lead. 314 00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:59.000 Okay. Could see through lead? 315 00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:00.000 Yes, with his penetra vision. 316 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:02.000 Okay. 317 00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:04.000 Oh, no, couldn't. Sorry. Could not. 318 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:06.000 Thank you. 319 00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:11.000 You mean we can't apply even after it's too late? 320 00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:17.000 If I know my buddies, they've already accepted you into our Adult Legion. Unanimously. 321 00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:23.000 Look at that. Lightning Men and Element Men are speaking at the same time. In unison. 322 00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:24.000 Wow. 323 00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:27.000 Wait. Let's do it. It's too late. 324 00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.000 If I know my buddies, they've already 325 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:37.000 accepted you in our Adult Legion. Unanimously. 326 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:39.000 The end. 327 00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:41.000 So we have two new members of the Adult Legion. 328 00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:43.000 Lex Luthor and Mr. Mxyzptlk. 329 00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:44.000 Yeah. 330 00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:46.000 Yeah. All right. 331 00:32:46.000 --> 00:33:01.000 Well, they'll need code names. Lex Luthor needs to have Super Heavy light Man and Mr. McCaspillek. Nobody could say that. He needs to be Magic Man, Mr. M, or the Orange Wizard, Something like that. 332 00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:05.000 Do you think that'll continue in the stories, you think? 333 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:06.000 Well, I think. 334 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:12.000 Well, this is a one off because the legion of superheroes is usually the younger versions. 335 00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:18.000 Now, it is later revealed that this whole future scenario never happened. Never happened. 336 00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:19.000 Oh, you're close. 337 00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:55.000 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. It did happen, but it was just kind of an alternate reality that was being accessed by the unconscious mind of Pharaoh Men. Okay, Pharaoh Lads twin brother whose name was Christopher. No, hang on. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. One of them was Andrew. And one of them was something else. 338 00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:56.000 Emily. 339 00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:56.000 Emily. 340 00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:57.000 Michael. 341 00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:58.000 Bartholomew. 342 00:33:58.000 --> 00:33:59.000 How is your husband? 343 00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:49.000 Douglas. Douglas is the twin. Andrew was Pharaoh Lad. But so it turns out Douglas had been in a coma all this time and he was dreaming of all kinds of different alternate versions. Because I was obsessed with the Legion of Superheroes. Really, it took me a long time because I picked up an issue of Superboy and the Legion of Superheroes. I had no problem understanding the whole Earth 1, Earth 2 situation. But I picked up a random issue of Superboy and the Legion, I believe Listener. It was during the Earth War story, which is very early on in my superhero comics reading days. And I knew who Superboy was. Superman as a boy. I didn't understand. And there was no explanation for why he was in the 30th century. 344 00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:50.000 Oh, yeah. 345 00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:55.000 And I could not wrap my head around time travel, oddly enough. 346 00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:56.000 How old were you? 347 00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:57.000 Like 10? 348 00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:04.000 Oh, okay. But still, there's lots of sci fi on television. You surprised you couldn't wrap that around. 349 00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:05.000 I know, I know. 350 00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:05.000 Time travel. 351 00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:22.000 But it's just that I took great pride in knowing a lot of deep Superman lore, but somehow had not come across the Legion origin story in which it's explained why Superboy goes back and forth 30th century. So I was very confused. 352 00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:26.000 Was he called to the 30th century? 353 00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:56.000 Well, in the origin story. Maybe I should make you read that. Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy traveled back in time to Smallville because their whole organization was inspired by Superboy, the teenage superhero club. So they came back to Smallville, played little pranks on Superboy, finally invited him to come to the 30th century and join their superhero club, which he did. 354 00:35:56.000 --> 00:35:58.000 But he could only be there temporarily. 355 00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:20.000 Well, I mean, I guess he could stay if he wanted to, but he did have parents that would worry about him. And a sweetheart, Lana Lang. Yeah, yeah. So it was. That was meant to be a one off story, but it was so popular that they came back and back and back and wow. Eventually Supergirl was invited to join. 356 00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:21.000 Wow. 357 00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:22.000 Yeah. 358 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.000 Well, speaking of. Lana. 359 00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:25.000 Yes, Sho? 360 00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:26.000 Are you ready to go into the 361 00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:29.000 next story right after this letters page? We are. 362 00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:31.000 Oh, okay. Let me get to the letters page. 363 00:36:31.000 --> 00:38:43.000 Dear editor, the forgotten Legion was certainly enjoyable, both for plot and for artwork, but I really think you have gone the limit with so many different members in the Legion. The continual parade of excitingly garbed teenagers that goes in and out of the Legion clubhouse is enough to confuse all but the most gifted fan. True, it is the fact that most of the Legion members participate in each story that makes the Legion unique and different from such organizations as the Justice League. But I Ask you, is this any way to run a supergroup? No. I'd like to know more about each individual Legionnaire, his or her origin in detail, and something about his or her character, as we do of some of the older members, such as Saturn Girl and Brainiac V. It makes the. The story a lot more exciting. How about it? Irene Vardenoff, Lake Forest College, Lake Forest, Illinois. Well, I hope she stuck around, because in the 80s, the glory days of the Legion, they did have smaller stories focusing on individual characters, and it was fantastic. Written by Paul Levitz. That was the heyday. And this other Rand Lee, Roxbury, Connecticut. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. A problem I don't believe has ever been brought up before. The complete UN futuristicness of your version of the 30th century. I don't mean in your depiction of scientific advances. I mean little things. For instance, one, English is spoken all over the galaxy. Two, one always seems to be referring to whole planets, not separate countries on different worlds. Is Earth a united planet, politically? Three, all races look human, and most of them look white, Caucasian. Four, the Legionnaire's verbal repertoire is hip 1966, not 2966. Well, a lot of these problems they did solve in the aforementioned golden age of Legion of Superheroes, except for the diversity. I mean, they had different species, but not really anyone that was from Earth Was white. 364 00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:44.000 Cool. 365 00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:46.000 No, it's not cool. 366 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:49.000 I'm sorry. It wasn't cool that they fixed it or addressed it. 367 00:38:49.000 --> 00:39:22.000 They didn't fix it. They had one black member, tyrok, in the 70s, and instead of just making him like a normal black teenager from Earth, they made him a descendant of a colony of slaves who had moved to their own island, which was an island that periodically disappeared, like Brigadoon, so he couldn't stay a permanent member. Then they did have the second Invisible Kid, was from Earth and was a Frenchman and was black. 368 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:23.000 Okay. 369 00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:27.000 But that's two out of 25 permanent members. 370 00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:31.000 Wow. Mm. 371 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:33.000 I'm not sure they've quite fixed that yet. 372 00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:35.000 Okay. 373 00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:37.000 Although they're aware of the problem. 374 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:38.000 Good. 375 00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:45.000 They did also establish that when they're not speaking English, they're speaking Interlac. Interlac, which is the intergalactic language. 376 00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:52.000 Well, I thought it was interesting in the latest Supergirl movie that they spoke about the common tongue. Yeah, with English being the common tongue. 377 00:39:52.000 --> 00:40:08.000 Well, see, I'm willing to accept that we, the audience, are hearing English, but they're actually not speaking. Yes, they're speaking something else. They just are not doing subtitles for a summer Blockbuster movie. Oh, yes, listener. We did see Supergirl. 378 00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:12.000 Yeah. Yeah. 379 00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:17.000 Crypto was in it a little bit. Yeah. 380 00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:18.000 I think the actors were good. 381 00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:28.000 I think the scripts were very good. It's not. Yeah. I'm admittedly slow. I'm not a fan of the source material that they chose to base the movie on. 382 00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:30.000 Yeah. I even like her as Supergirl. 383 00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:34.000 Yeah. Jason Momoa and I. 384 00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:36.000 Why the hell was he in that movie? 385 00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:39.000 He was great as Lobo. I don't see why Lobo needed to be in it. 386 00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:43.000 Not at all. 387 00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:54.000 He. Yeah, he's fine. I'm not opposed. Even though I really love the sweet, sunny Supergirl, I'm not opposed to having her be a little harder edge. But. 388 00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:55.000 No, no, no. 389 00:40:55.000 --> 00:41:08.000 You know what I would have liked? I loved all the scenes on Argo City. I would have liked if it was just a straight up origin story that explained well. I don't want to give spoilers away. 390 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:09.000 I just wanted to see it. 391 00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:12.000 I urge you to go see it. If you have an interest. 392 00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:15.000 It's worth seeing. It's just very different. 393 00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:16.000 Yes. 394 00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:25.000 Yeah. But I do like her. And I am. I would like for them to do another movie, but choose a different story. 395 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:28.000 Well, apparently she's highly featured in the next Superman movie, so. 396 00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:30.000 Oh, good. 397 00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:36.000 Because we'll see. And hopefully Crypto will be there as well. 398 00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:38.000 Yes. 399 00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:42.000 And. Yeah, that's that. That's our review. 400 00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:44.000 Yeah. 401 00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:48.000
