That's why we saw some Teen Titans last issue and the JSA and Booster Gold cameos this issue. But in his Action run he tied one character (Rainbow Girl) into the Green Lantern mythology, and it was revealed in the 1980s that Rond Vidar was at the time a secret Green Lantern and his father had previously been one. Johns also said that this Legion series did tie into the greater DCU and would be important in the Final Crisis story.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001530336692435773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-84382734766822740122008-10-16T00:54:00.000-04:002008-10-16T00:54:00.000-04:00Michael--the anagram is Bart Allen.

For example, Glorith was killed by the Time Trapper; Tharok was killed by the Dark Man; Validus had reverted to the toddler son of Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl; Emerald Empress had aged and died; and Echo and Beauty Blaze had only been seen in the Adult Legion story, though Echo was a Legionnaire in the Five Year Gap.<BR/><BR/><I>take out the letters h,o,w, s, I, r, e, y, a, m, and add a B and an "e" and an "n," I think you'll have a great clue!</I><BR/><BR/>Mart Allben?<BR/><BR/>Page 25: the red sky is probably The Bleed.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001530336692435773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-9560927087838200812008-10-15T21:49:00.000-04:002008-10-15T21:49:00.000-04:00The missing villains on your list are Echo (betwee...The missing villains on your list are Echo (between Sun Emperor and Dr. Regulus) and Esper Lass (at the bottom next to Black Mace).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
