He couldn't really join the Teen Titans, but the Legion let him be himself without having to worry about secret identities or saving Smallville every week.<BR/><BR/>Now, although they say two years have passed, it feels like more for the Legion. They've progressed from teenagers to young adults, and now he's not "young Superman" any more but "regular Superman" hanging around with his peers.

They still had that teenager mentality, I think, whereas now they're more adult and mature.</I><BR/><BR/>Which, I'm sure you'll agree, misses one of the things that made the Legion appealing, the idea that Superboy can cut loose and just hang out with his friends when he has no real peers of his own at that point in his life. Even Geoff Johns got that during the Lightning Saga.Terence Chuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245769772109010000noreply@blogger.com
