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 Girl So Nice They Named Her Twice Seven Times.”
The Legion of Super-Heroes was remarkably progressive, always a few steps ahead of it’s time, with a few exceptions. One thing that was never a problem was finding strong female characters in the 30th Century. Today’s Hero History subject actually joined the Legion under an alias (and an assumed gender) before taking a long-time supporting role. She starred in one of the Legion’s EARLIEST romances, and when that one ended, was a part of one of the more controversial ones. Always a soothing presence, she meshed well with all her comrades, and whether they called her Light Lass, Lightning Lass, Pulse, Gossamer, Spark, Livewire or just plain Ayla, she is an island of calm in the midst of the madness of the Legion. This is your Major Spoilers Hero History of Ayla Ranzz of Winath… Lightning Lass!
