DC Comics: Rebirth

Is it polygamy for triplicate Girl to marry three different dudes?

Yes--she always identified as one person. I remember a comic when she was Duo Damsel (before the great darkness saga) when Bouncing Boy asks her how it felt losing her third person and she says that it felt like dying. That was pretty powerful dialogue for the time!
 
Bouncing Boy questions would have been fabulous in Mallrats.

Do we think Stan Lee knows enough about DC Comics to answer Brodie's obscure questions about The Legion of Superheroes?
 
Bouncing Boy was certainly one of the luckiest gentlemen in the LSH or perhaps the most stressed depending on who's perspective you're considering.

Plus, she gained the ability to make basically unlimited copies at some point (she had it during Levitz run post-Final crisis, I don't know or can't remember when she got it though), so marrying a different person with each body would be a rather impressive feat :lol:
 
If there's infinite Triplicate Girlz, and each of them has two feetz, but twice infinity is still infinity, so all of herz is mathematically a one legged womenz hippity hopping aroundz.

That was kind of a Multiple Man rip off, I think.
 
Does/did Triplicate Girl have a time limit as to how long her selves can be separated from each other? Could they theoretically live entire lifetimes on their own?

Well, they never addressed it, at least with the original Triplicate Girl. One of the rebooted versions was actually from a planet where everyone but her died somehow, and she filled the entire planet with versions of herself, and the one in the comic who joined the Legion was three bodies that disconnected from the rest and went away. But, with the original LSH (which was the same version that became the main Legion again post-Final Crisis), they never brought up a time limit. My guess is that there was no time limit, but they wouldn't live entire lifetimes because they weren't separate personalities, so they'd merge together again eventually.
 
If there became a likelihood of her species being reclassified as a (tribblelike) weed... THIS SOUNDS LIKE A JOB FOR MATTER EATERLAD!!!!
 
Funniest thing to me about Matter Eater Lad? Back in the Silver Age, he was treated as a useful, serious part of the team, while Starboy (who had the ability to make things super heavy, which actually sounds pretty useful) was treated as a rarely useful member who got left behind a lot.

We really need another Legion book (with the main Legion, not another reboot). They're one of my favorite teams, and all of the team is pretty great (even Matter Eater Lad).

Apparition, the post-Zero Hour version of Phantom Girl, was half Cargggite and her other two bodies were stolen away shortly after birth by her shifty father. One ended up in the 20th century and grew to adulthood as the L.E.G.I.O.N.'s Phase.
 
I don't know why, but I never gave a fig for the Legion. It combines my two favorite things, costumed superheroes and science fiction, yet I've just never cared at all about it. The characters don't seem particularly interesting, nor do the stories or settings. Great Darkness Saga was cool only because Darkseid was in it.
 
Legion is an acquired taste, especially when it stopped being about Superboy's best friends from the future. (Which, as many have pointed out, became a real problem when DC wiped Superboy from history.) It's not really my taste anymore; I liked the Legion as adults in the Five Years Later era, and seeing them as teenagers or twentysomethings doesn't have quite the same appeal.
 
I read Batman #1 yesterday and thought it was a great issue right up until the end.

I just felt like after all he did to get to the point of saving everyone on the plane he would have had a way out for himself too.

Still, solid issue over all. I feel like it would make a great opening scene to a movie.
