When three teens from the future show up to screw with your head, what do you do? What do you do? Set the time cube for the year 3008, put on your safety goggles to protect against bouncing boys, and make sure that you wear your Bat-Timber Wolf repellent, because we’re piercing the timestream in the hopes that we too can make the cut. But, if nothing else, I’m sure the Legion of Substitute Heroes Auxiliary can use the services of Spoiler Lad and Meteor Attractor Boy, who can telekinetically attract meteors, but only to his head.
This is an all Legion of Super-Heroes episode, and joining Matthew and Stephen (I didn’t know they were coming apart?) are Kristen and Adriana from the Super Future Friends Podcast, a show all about the Legion from start to finish.
Show Notes after the Jump!
Or – “The Legion’s Impulsive Heart…”
And here we are, at the beginnings of the whole shebang. The three kids who started it all, who leapt into action to save the life of a stranger because they had the ability to do so. The founding members of the Legion represent an interesting triad, a study in contrasts. The studious, internally focused blonde whose powers are completely covert in nature. The charismatic, team-oriented dark-haired one, whose abilities represent the ability to shape, to change, to manipulate. The quick-to-action red-haired one, whose powers channel the destructive forces of nature. Imra as commanding mother figure, Rokk as guiding big brother, but where does that leave today’s entrant? A founding member, a powerhouse of the early team, but never quite comfortable in his own skin, his battles with his family (and, indeed, with himself) are as legendary as his clashes with any other opponent. Sometimes called the unluckiest Legionnaire, he nonetheless has been an anchor of all incarnations of the team to date. This, then, is your Major Spoilers Hero History of Garth Ranzz of Winath… Lightning Lad!
