30 Days of Scans Day 28 - Favorite Canonical Romance

[generator_rex]

So I have two favorite cannon romances and they both are from The Legion of Super-Heroes.




First up is Bouncing Boy and Triplicate Girl (Duo Damsel/Duplicate Damsel. The reason is because I though it was awesome. Bouncing Boy was the chubby kid who scored the hottie. And they worked. I hated the version that dated the three guys at once.





Next is Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl. I don't know why I like it. I just do.

Chuck and Lu are not only still married, but returned recently from a renewed honeymoon, showing that Lu had gotten her powers ramped up (I guess based on Una's death in Countdown).

Where did this return happen?

Adventure is set before either joined, and there's no sign of either of them, let alone both, in Legion.

Not sure how that could be? Triplicate Girl was the first member to join after the three founders.

I had originally included some weasel words about the early Legion timeline being awful confusing...should have kept them.

Early Legion history was well established in "Secrets of the Legion of Super-Heroes", Triplicate Girl was the first to join, followed shortly thereafter by Phantom Girl.

Never read that...actively avoided it, in fact, since I never heard of it until I was in the middle of a beginning-to-end binge of every Legion appearance, and there's only so many times one can read the same story retold in a couple of months.

This might come in handy, too. :)

End of Lo3W, if I remember correctly.

Hmmm. I guess you're right. Since that was when all the Legions were showing up to help, I took that as a retcon of their earlier selves, not current - even getting rid of his bearded look, wouldn't have expected Chuck to look EXACTLY like he did, originally, when everyone else is getting updates.
