A Kinder Fanboy- M'rissy
In the final months of the threeboot book the Legion was joined by the young M'rissy. At the time I thought it was obviously how Shooter saw himself in his early years writing the Legion but went on to discover the name M'rissy is actually referring to a fan of the Legion who had since died, Rich Morrissey. (His writings about Coluan Lifespans, from the Legion Fanzine 'legion outpost' is available in 'the best of the Legion outpost' on amazon)

M'rissy is their business manager, its like a good version of the lunatics taking over the asylum. The fanboy is in control and its a GOOD thing. Lightning Lad soon relies on him to help him lead...
