Jim FettersHOST
But this is when you see when things slow down for these kinds of situations and the shock sets in and people have to actually deal with the reality of the situation.
Jim FettersHOST
So you have, you know, XS, who's obsessed with Cosmic Boy, is racing all over the Earth to try to find him.
Jim FettersHOST
You know, Garth is, well, Garth freaks out more for Imrub and not for his sister, but that's something, we'll just leave that there.
Jim FettersHOST
And then, you know, Kinetics has beaten herself up over the situation.
18 MINS LATER
Jim FettersHOST
Got those Magna labs.
Jim FettersHOST
The one I'm having the, the, the hard part with
Jay McKiernanHOST
isn't he the brilliant who showed up to replace cosmic boy back in the seventies when they had, they had all the replacements who came back.
Jay McKiernanHOST
So there was like calorie queen and.
SiskoidHOST
Yeah, hard for Copperhead to register through all of that.
SiskoidHOST
Cosmic Boy.
SiskoidHOST
Chris Franklin says, very few male heroes wear pink, so good on Rock for rocking a different
JoséePANELIST
color.
SiskoidHOST
Martin Grace says, Cosmic Boy's original costume is best because of his shoulder rings.
SiskoidHOST
Did I imagine he could take them off and magnetically toss them at foes? Probably.
SiskoidHOST
Hot.
Bill ZanowitzHOST
So again, it takes place 3,000 years in the future.
Bill ZanowitzHOST
In the canonical Legion, it was a group of three heroes, Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, and Saturn Girl.
Bill ZanowitzHOST
that formed the Legion after they thwarted the assassination of RJ brand, who was a gazillionaire and he helped fund the Legion.
Bill ZanowitzHOST
There was a noticeable gap in terms of law enforcement.
8 MINS LATER
Bill ZanowitzHOST
Um, and he's, you know, he's doing his thing, uh, you know, on his planet, we see his sister who later will become lightning last hour, light last, depending on the timeframe.
Bill ZanowitzHOST
Uh, we see, uh, Saturn girl in a very sort of cast minded, um, situation on Titan, which is one of Saturn's moons, which is where the comes in.
Bill ZanowitzHOST
We also have rock Crenn, who was cosmic boy, who's in this gladiator type of element.
Bill ZanowitzHOST
And, uh, Steve, you can go to the next, uh, frame there.
SiskoidHOST
Yeah, hard for Copperhead to register through all of that.
SiskoidHOST
Cosmic Boy.
SiskoidHOST
Chris Franklin says, very few male heroes wear pink, so good on Rock for rocking a different
JoséePANELIST
color.
SiskoidHOST
Martin Grace says, Cosmic Boy's original costume is best because of his shoulder rings.
SiskoidHOST
Did I imagine he could take them off and magnetically toss them at foes? Probably.
SiskoidHOST
Hot.
Paul FrenchHOST
And we covered that in Episode 54.
Paul FrenchHOST
40 years ago in October 2nd, 1986, Fury of Firestorm number 55, Firestorm rescues Cosmic Boy from Brimstone in this Legends crossover.
Paul FrenchHOST
30 years ago was a busy time.
Paul FrenchHOST
This is September 30th, 1996.
Paul FrenchHOST
The House of Kent, Superman, Superboy, Supergirl, The Legion of Superheroes, Brainiac 5, and Young Justice's Connor Kent must all unite to face an enemy from another dimension unleashed by the invisible mafia.
Paul FrenchHOST
955 years from now, September 28th, 2981, while Phantom Girl is set to testify against an assassin, some boy appears to go into an eclipsed state, making his heat power run rampant.
Paul FrenchHOST
Meanwhile, the Legion is threatened by the Emerald Empress, but Cosmic Boy, because of religious reasons, must not use his power on this day and decides that this is the day to model his new costume.
Paul FrenchHOST
And this was seen in Superboy issue 215, and we covered it in episode 280.
Dom BettinelliHOST
And Star Trek has always done this, right? I mean, Riker's obsession with jazz, you know, the 20th century is always so important to everybody.
Jimmy AkinPANELIST
Oh, and in the 31st century, Legion of Superheroes, Cosmic Boy happens to be an expert in 21st century Earth history, even though he's from the planet Brawl.
Jimmy AkinPANELIST
Right, right, right.
Jimmy AkinPANELIST
Exactly.
Michael GraboisHOST
Blue Beetle gets shot in the shoulder.
Michael GraboisHOST
Cosmic Boy wakes up in Titan's Tower after the fight with Brimstone.
Michael GraboisHOST
Robin gets beaten up almost to death.
Michael GraboisHOST
And the Justice League is almost destroyed.
Michael GraboisHOST
And that was episode 326.
Michael GraboisHOST
We covered that one right before Cosmic Boy number one, which also came out the same day.
Michael GraboisHOST
Spinning out of Legends, Cosmic Boy tries to find out why the past he's in is not the history he remembers.
Michael GraboisHOST
And then we also had that same day, Tales of the Legion number 342, which reprints Legion volume 3 number 17 from a year ago.
Case AikenGUEST
So in the original joining of Supergirl or attempt to join of the team.
Case AikenGUEST
it is indicated that the Lightning Boy, Cosmic Boy, and Saturn Girl are the children of the original members and that...
Case AikenGUEST
This is the next generation of the Legion of Superheroes that she's joining, so that it's a different team than the one that Superboy is on.
Case AikenGUEST
And then that's completely just thrown away, as far as I can tell, by the time she actually joins the team.
52 MINS LATER
Jay McKiernanHOST
And at the same time, I think Five Years Later has some of the biggest swings and misses in Legion history that make me want to throw a comic against the wall.
Jay McKiernanHOST
So it's this weird, like, yeah, they're more adult and they're more real people.
Jay McKiernanHOST
I could argue that it's probably the best Cosmic Boy has ever written in his life, in his entire publishing career, what they do with him as soon as they take away his powers.
Jay McKiernanHOST
Now, when they make him what is it, lodestone, lodestar, whatever, and they make him go crazy, it might be one of the worst things that ever does the character.
RayHOST
And so we follow a number of iconic Legion members, primarily Lightning Lad and Lightning Lask, who are twins, who have a distinct disagreement over how to use their powers.
RayHOST
Cosmic Boy, who is...
RayHOST
A sports player, sports ball, whose powers are starting to come into their own and he doesn't want to hide them in a way that pretty much fucks up his career.
RayHOST
And Saturn Girl, whose powers are giving her insight that no one else has, even though she seems to be staying put right now.
BrandonHOST
The art is probably the standout in this issue.
BrandonHOST
From a writing standpoint, we're kind of just getting started, getting introduced to the main characters.
BrandonHOST
I like what they're doing with the Lightning Twins and their older brother, as well as the little bit we see with Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl.
BrandonHOST
But yeah, Brainiac and Matter Eater Lad, that stuff was fun.
Paul KaminskyGUEST
And even if you, even if you didn't buy the story, I think there's so much to love about Hayden's art that it it can maybe do it for you anyway.
Paul KaminskyGUEST
And then the second thing was to really start at the beginning with the nativity scene because the founders, you know, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl, like that whole thing is not pointed to a whole lot necessarily in the various iterations of that franchise over the years, partly because for a long time it was like, yeah, well, we get it.
Paul KaminskyGUEST
We understand it, you know, and we've moved on from it.
Paul KaminskyGUEST
I equate it to the X-Men in that way.
