Triplicate Girl seems like a good candidate given Una’s role as Karate Kid’s new partner of sorts.

I’d also like to nominate Shadow Lass since she may or may not have an ancestor who was a member of the Sinestro Corp, Quislet, Polar Boy, and Tellus.

Element Lad is definitely forthcoming, but I’m balancing out the members with longer histories against those who have more limited tenures…

I feel that it balances the interest level a bit, and also gives me a bit of a break in terms of writing and research. Which is why after Brainiac, we got Bouncing Boy, and why after Ayla we’re getting Tyroc. I’m thinking Colossal Boy, Ferro Lad, Element Lad and maybe Kent Shakespeare are in the wings…

Any other votes for Legionnaires?

I think you should do your next Hero History on the Legion’s other homosexual member, Element Lad.

I really didn’t know about her naked thing or her relationship with Vi. I guess I’m a little more familiar with the second Legion. Still it is interesting to note that there was this kind of relationship back then; though it bothers me a little that every lesbian relationship in comics that I know of has one of the girls been in a relationship with a guy. It feels sexist to me. I mean, has there been a lesbian couple where the girls have been lesbians from the “get go”?
