His life would have simply taken a different path on Colu.<br /><br />Well actually if the Legion didn't exist the other members would just be loners or take a different path in life.<br /><br />Examples:<br /><br />Saturn Girl would have joined the Science Police.<br /><br />Cosmic Boy would have gone into construction work.<br /><br />Lightening Lad would have become a farmer.<br /><br />Ultra Boy a gang member if not leader of one.<br /><br />Tinya would still be still a traveler between worlds.<br /><br />The list can go on and on. valerie21601http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2093237/valerie21601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-20279869770521243962013-09-14T09:08:33.425-04:002013-09-14T09:08:33.425-04:00I was surprised to see Yod-Colu in the issue, I...I was surprised to see Yod-Colu in the issue, I'd never heard of the Brainiacs being from anywhere but Colu, but apparently it appeared as that in a 1967 Adventure Comics. Still, given that every other time it's been simple Colu, I don't see that Yod-Colu would tie it to Legion continuity any more closely than the regular version ... a one-off name change may as well be a mistake as canon.

So maybe the bottled city gets enlarged on a *New Colu*, and with B2 around then we know we will get a Brainiac 5.

Hopefully we will get a L.E.G.I.O.N. book at some point with the 'true' Vril. <br /><br />And Thomas, great point about folding in this story about the El family into the Cyborg Superman story. Explains the obsession with Jor-El apparent in that story too.<br /><br />Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-64942874428009668252013-09-13T09:37:27.821-04:002013-09-13T09:37:27.821-04:00I liked that Braniac 5 fits nicely now.

I won't be going back to my comic shop for a few weeks so I doubt I'll be able to get a copy, but I'll look for it when I do. <br /><br />I wonder if this should ideally have come out before Action 23.1 - because knowing more about Brainiac makes me see his depiction in that issue in a slightly different light. If Brainiac's thing wih Jor-El isn't just respect but more like a personal grudge it makes him feel more interesting. Likewise it makes Zor-El seem even more of a victim of a twisted mind, with Brainiac possibly having the ulterior motive of getting back at the family of the man who was better than him...?AndNowInStereohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14021894582408478305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-12112825921655609262013-09-13T08:56:56.313-04:002013-09-13T08:56:56.313-04:00Just excellent work all around.

I was intrigued that Tony Bedard made this Brainiac 1 Vril Fox, traditionally the name given to his son; mind, he may share the name - I don't doubt Bedard had plans for him. <br /><br />'Pneumenoid' is a clever name, it's like something from Futurama or the Jetsons - maybe a combo of 'humanoid' and Von Neumann self-replicating machines?<br /><br />Is it too much to hope that in the last instant before Noma exploded, Victoria Viceroy was shrunk and bottled? She's too good to be a one-off, surely? And perhaps we could meet Madame Absynthe?Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.com
