	Is Lena still alive? I have the issue where she was born somewhere, and I seem to remember hearing she was still around, but I've no clue what happened to her. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	According to Wikipedia, "Lena has not appeared since Luthor lost the presidency, and her current status is unknown." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So she's in a dark room guarded by Dan Didio and surrounded by copies of Ambush Bug #6? Makes sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know, that alternate Superman costume would be pretty cool if it weren't for the stupid long-vest-thing and the unfortunate haircut. The lateral lines are nice and add a distinctive design element, and the costume would only be further improved by taking away the gauntlets and simply making the sleeves go down, unripped, to normal length.

	Seconded. The version you describe would actually make a pretty good Legion of Superheros variation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What I think I'm thinking of, come to think of it, is the shot of Alex Ross's Superboy in the Legion's future in Kingdom Come. But I can't find a scan to be sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Was that ever established as being Kon? I always thought it had to be, but I never heard one way or the other. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blake_reitz 2009-08-24 11:14 am UTC (link)
	I always kind of assumed that it was Kon and Linda in the shot, as it was clearly the 90's Leigon. But I mean, they make an appearance that's one panel and smaller than a dime, so who's to say? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	bariman1987 2009-08-24 03:39 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I was thinking that it reminded me of the costume Ferro made for Kon when the Legion was offering him membership. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Is it just me, or is the first thing that should be drilled into graduates of 'University of Time-Travelling Assassins" is 'don't give your target ideas about their future plans by engaging in lengthy expository rants about what you're doing and why you're doing it, thus ironically creating your own future'?

I mean, the amount of detail that Mullet-El is going into, I'm surprised that Lex wasn't frantically scribbling down notes: "Yep... yep... evil clone lineage... yep..."

	In the future, Superman will look like Billy Ray Cyrus? DC: don't try to be hip. You don't understand it and when you try, you look like Grandpa trying to get jiggy wid'it. (Reply to this)
