Oh Thank Goodness

[chalicother]

I almost thought Saturn Girl was Power Girl.

I was going to say Bendis has gone too far.

I almost had Brain Bleach.

Sidenote, I guess Bendis is going to try and say that Conner belongs in the future with his girlfriend who is into him because he had romantic thoughts in his head, but we have no idea why she likes him.

Yes, let the teenage boy leave his family and his family abandon their son just due to a crush.

Maybe I am just running to conclusions.

Isn't this Jon?

Re: Oh Thank Goodness

[chalicother]

Yes, it is. My bad.

Re: Oh Thank Goodness

[aperturedreams]

This is Jon...Connor isn't with the Legion.

Re: Oh Thank Goodness

[chalicother]

My bad, it is Jon and I just wrote Conner by mistake

"I'm looking for John Connor."

*looks around, leaves*

The Great Darkness saga with Darkseid taking over the Universe is still going to happen is continuity?

[lordultimus]

Honest question - has there been a legion continuity that HASN'T had a Great Darkness saga?

[shakalooloo]

The Threeboot didn't, did it?

[icon_uk]

No, and to be honest, I'm only aware of ONE Great Darkness Saga

[lordultimus]

The post-Zero Hour reboot did one, where 31st century Darkseid teamed up with his past self. They even got a young Clark Kent to be Superboy (they erased his memory afterwards).

[icon_uk]

Ah, I keep foprgetting that the Legion Lost and later LSH is still the post-Zero Hour era... I was NOT a fan of what DnA did to the title.

[werehawk]

Is this the one with the Dark Lobo?

[akodo_rokku]

Conner seems to be showing up in other Superbooks no problem, so his presence in LoSH really does feel more like he went off to college but comes home all the time.

[icon_uk]

This is Jon, not Conner.

Though I would much prefered to have Conner in the Legion and Jon back on Earth as a kid, being friends with Damian.

[akodo_rokku]

The number of times in this thread we keep saying Conner instead of Jon will continue to multiply.

Anyway yes I meant Jon.

[john_wyatt]

The Super Sons are the correct answer, and Bendis dropped the ball there big time. I'm not really happy with Damian being mini-Punisher either.

[thehood]

Yeah, breaking up Damian and Jon was a mistake.

[strejdaking]

I think Jon needs more development on his own instead of just being Damian's partner.

[thehood]

And he had that in the Superman book until the current writer aged him up and took him off the book. He was never just "Damian's partner", it took awhile for him to meet Damian.

[strejdaking]

Did he have any defiing characteristics? For the most part, he was a blank slate, mostly defined as counterpoint to Damian.

If nothing else, at least he's finally in good stories.

[thehood]

Yes he did and how can he be only defined as a counterpoint to Damian when they weren't even in the same reality at first?

And he was already in good stories, several which were from before he even met Damian.

Clark & Lois: 'Great, we're going to need to time travel to see our grandkids...'

[scorntx]

Barry & Iris: "Wait, you actually acknowledge your grandkids? Weirdos."

[gnarll]

I suppose Imra might enjoy have one attractive person around who does not self-censor his thoughts of being attracted to her.

So, CBR is calling this a hookup.
https://www.cbr.com/superboy-saturn-girl-kiss-legion-of-super-heroes/

Wikipedia says that
Hooking up generally refers to having sex; however, many others indicated that when they say hooking up they are referring to something less than intercourse.

When I was in college, I liked one girl but nothing was happening and I ended up pretty much just kissing someone else. I told the first girl about it by saying I hooked up with someone. She thought I meant sex. Is the difference in meaning geographical? I was from NJ, the girl was from FL. Or was I just confused? (and CBR is too?)
