From what I can recall, and I don't remember where I read it, they were trying out their new time travel devices but could only go back 1000 years, so they recruited Supergirl. But their real reason for going back in time was to recruit Superboy, which they finally did after tweaking their machines.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001530336692435773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-58456816187452864932009-02-13T01:45:00.000-06:002009-02-13T01:45:00.000-06:00Please forgive this much delayed comment!I'd have ...Please forgive this much delayed comment!<BR/><BR/>I'd have trouble with the idea of a rejected applicant being invited to witness what would presumably be the most momentous event in LSH history, the induction of Superboy. It just doesn't feel right dramatically.<BR/><BR/>I'm intrigued by the idea of the Legion inducting Supergirl before Superboy. One possibility that existed in pre-Crisis times would have been that for some reason, Supergirl was considered the more important or significant hero in the 30th Century, perhaps due to some later accomplishment the readers had yet to learn about. But as I say, her death forestalled that possibility. Alternately, and less flattering to her, could she have been seen as a warm-up or trial run before tackling the job of meeting Superboy?<BR/><BR/>Or another thought: could there have been room for Legionnaires we never saw (apart from those panels above) to have joined and left the group?Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714171897239398438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-25900151373388955242009-02-06T04:09:00.000-06:002009-02-06T04:09:00.000-06:00That's interesting.

For some reason, I always thought the Brainiac 5 retcon coloring came about WAY before the Archive - persumably from as far back as the Superman Annual.<BR/><BR/>DukeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
