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.

Or – “Number Two Has To Try Harder…”
It’s absolutely amazing to me to think that we’ve been doing these Hero Histories now for over a year and a half. I’ve had relationships that didn’t last that long! When we started out, the list of Legionnaires seemed endless, stretching out into infinity. Now, it would seem we’re in the home stretch, having come to the point where there are fewer than half a dozen LSHer’s yet unprofiled. When I initially started this project, I knew where it had to begin, and I knew where it had to end, with a stretch of indecision in the middle. But today’s Hero History entrant absolutely had to be placed where he is: alongside the founding members of the Legion of Super-Heroes. His devotion to the Legion was always second to none, and his impact on the team as a whole was eclipsed by very few heroes. It can honestly be said that a large part of the Legion’s appeal was directly due to HIS actions and heroism as much as those of Cos and company. It may have taken him longer than others to make the team, but once there, he made an indelible mark on Legion history. This, then, is your Major Spoilers Hero History of Brek Bannin of Tharr… Polar Boy!
