On Earth-3, the Oans are evil!
... wait a minute...
(so presumably they're Lawful rather than Chaotic?)


Trying to guess who's who in the Legion. Blanking on who the one in the cheetah-themed shorts could be, though.

[lordultimus]

We see her be giant, so presumably Giganta.

[shakalooloo]

There was mention of an island of giant women in a previous issue, so presumably her super-power is being able to shrink down to regular size.

I thought Oa didn't replicate through the parallel universes like other planets did, and Power RIng had some singular origin for his ring? Or has that been thrown out with the 52 universes divergence?

[scorntx]

Well, if Oa wasn't copied, that wouldn't explain all those alternate universes like the DCAU where Oa and the Gl Corps exist.
So, yeah, think that rule has been quietly and firmly ignored for a while.

The notion of Power Ring's power ring being tied to Oa is a new one for this version, I think.
Most other versions have been tied to Volthoom.

Luthor, Poison Ivy, and Giganta are all BIPOC? Neat.

Too bad they're all destined to be failures.

[shadowpsykie]

is that Kahl Drago?

[lordultimus]

That's Lonar, apparently.

Not sure I'd call him a villain, but whatever.

[donnblake]

"Lonar is a New God of New Genesis. A loner and explorer, he preferred solitude from his fellow New Gods."

That's some good Kirby-naming there.

Maybe his Earth-3 version is a real social butterfly and just joins whatever group will have him.

I think the angle they're going with is that there's only one version of the New Gods across the whole diddly-danged fifty-two.

[lizard_of_aus]

My guess is they went "Alright, which New God's not doing anything in main continuity? Oh, you'll do. Off to Earth-3 you go!"
