Mon El

...

Mon-El and, and Brainiac and, and a couple others pretty well.

Yeah.

Now, I will say this is, this is, uh, not subjective, this is totally objective, is that when it comes to, uh, the summer movies and finance and stuff, it was definitely one of the biggest flops of the summer when it comes to budget and what it made.

[laughs]

Anyways, I like, okay, where I'm at right now is Mon-El of Daxam has come along.

Mm.

Daxam is-

Maybe the end of two.

I think I'm at the end of two.

Um, but anyways, Mon-El, Prince of Daxam.

Daxam is, like, the sister planet to Krypton.

Thank you, Dave, for writing.

Dave says, "The idea of Superboy having super friends is revisited again a couple of times with the appearance of Mon-El, parentheses, not his real name, in 1961 and Ultra Boy in 1962." Um, yes.

The Ultra Boy appearance, I don't know if it is said in that story that he's a member of the Legion, but the very next time we see him he is a member of the Legion, so in my head that's a Legion story, but I get your point.

It is presented as a Superboy super-powered friend story.

Also, Mon-El, where Clark briefly convinces himself that he has a brother and then is really upset whenever his own false notion turns out not to be true and he blames Mon-El for, for not being what he imagined.

Uh, you do mention that Mon-El is not his real name.

Is that true? Uh, uh, I'm sorry.

Not is that true.

Mm-hmm.

And, and in my, my blog post from a few years ago, um, I do not include- Um, um, Valor, Timber Wolf, Legion Science Police, Cosmic Boy, Inferno, Karate Kid, Legion Secret Files, Legions of the Legion, Superboys Legion, Legion of Three Worlds, Legion Secret Origin, Star Trek Legion, uh, Secrets of the Legion, Legionnaires Three, Who's Who in the Legion, Titans Legion, Universe Ablaze-

Mm.

Mm-hmm

Brainiac 5's lucky day turns out to be someone else's worst, and that was episode 371.

Uh, 35 years ago in 1991, it's Legion volume four, annual number two.

In The Legend of Valor, learn how Largand became the hero known as Valor in this tale tracing his trials and showing how he led the rebellion on the Dominion homeworld, Ellia, and that was episode 594.

30 years ago in 1996, we had a bunch of things come out.

They put regular humans in the Phantom Zone.

Mon-El, who is from Daxam, is in the Phantom Zone.

So why wouldn't these... creatures go into Phantom Zone.

So we don't really get much of that.

So they've erected a statue to Earthman.

Kind of amusing that Mon-El is putting it up.

And it's huge.

It is huge.

And notice down below where Brainy is standing in that third panel, that's got to be Telos' statue right there.

I would assume that all the Legion Lost members have statues at this point.

And Mon-El says, I always did think...

Yeah, because there's wildfire up in the upper right.
