When Supergirl hears the word, she encodes data onto the DVD with heat vision.</I><BR/><BR/>See THIS particular part I just don't get. If in the 31st Century Brainiac 5 had placed this hypnotic suggestion in to Supergirl then come her traveling back to the early 21st Century how exactly is it that Brainiac 5's ancestor Vril Dox/Brainiac 2 would even come to know of this eh?? :/<BR/><BR/><B>Anj said...</B><BR/><I>Is the 'Validus is Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl's child twisted by Darkseid' story still in continuity?</I><BR/><BR/>Well, if <I>Legion of 3 Worlds</I> #3 surprise reaction of 2 particular Legions to that panel of seeing Darkseid is anything to go by I'd say yes. Heh. :D<BR/><BR/>Er, question: when the Waid/Kitson Legion's Brainy 5's holo addresses his 21st Century ancestor Vril Dox is the earlier implying that eventually both Vril AND Supergirl are destined to fall madly in love and get married in time? Because that's kind of what I got out of reading that particular 'encounter' between the 2 Brainys conversation it the end myself. :/<BR/><BR/><B>Anj said...</B><BR/><I>Did anyone else feel that Cameron Diaz was his model for Kara?</I><BR/><BR/>GREAT SCOTT!
