Or - “Feeling The Love For The Post-Reboot Squad…”

There are a couple of reasons that I chose to go with this particular Legionnaire.  The first is a sense of innate laziness, in that her history isn’t nearly as long as some of the other candidates (Brainiac 5, notably.)  The second is that, sometimes, I feel like the old guy ranting into a vacuum about how comics were better when I was a boy, uphill, both ways, through thirty feet of snow, and the starving children in Romania don’t even HAVE comics, you ungrateful whippersnappers!  Though thoroughly modern and original to the reboot Legion, today’s History subject comes from a most heroic lineage, with her mother, uncle, cousin, great-uncle and grandfather all carrying on the tradition started by Mr. Garrick in 1939, and though she wasn’t one of “my” Pre-Crisis Legionnaires, she was nonetheless one of the most compelling of the post-reboot newbies.  (Plus, it’s good to be able to start one of these without having to type “It all started back in Adventure Comics in 1964.”)  This, then, is your Major Spoilers Hero History of Jenni Ognats of Aarok… XS!
