You're in the DCU, trapped & broke. Whose secret ID do you sell to the tabloids?

Are you talking about the immediate post-Crisis universe in which the Legion discovered that their Superboy came from a pocket universe created by the Time Trapper? Too many damn reboots to follow anymore…

No, Post-Zero Hour. Superboy (aka the Kid, Kon-El, Conner Kent) ended up going to the 31st century and hanging around with the Legion. During Infinite Crisis, that universe was revealed to be Earth-247. That Legion is currently wandering the multiverse as…the Wanderers. Minus Gates and XS who are hanging around with the main Legion (XS being of the main universe, not Earth-247).

I just gave up on finding a panel which I saw on some comic blog (probably the ISB), showing the Legion playing a game where the computer tells them who they should be kissing.

I know exactly what panel you’re talking about…if I had my old Legion books handy I’d search for it. IIRC, it lead into an ‘evil girl Legionnaires’ story.

This story?? http://www.comicvine.com/adventure-comics-the-revolt-of-the-girl-legionnaires/37-114784/

Yes…that’s exactly the story I’m thinking of. Now I can see if it really did start with the kissing scene…

It doesn’t, but some of the girls use makeout sessions to lure the boys in to get rid of 'em. Lu gets Invisible Kid, Brainiac 5 AND Cosmic Boy.

Oh I agree. The “code against killing” thing was more of a reference to the generic trait that (supposedly) all Superheroes should have (at least according to the old Silver Age comics code), and the “guideline” bit was just a riff on the Pirates of the Caribbean’s code. (I promise footnotes for any future bad attempts at humour). :slight_smile:

Wolvie is about the last “hero”, DCU or not, that I’d want to taunt with “I know your secret!” :eek:

Hugo Strange tried to do precisely this back in the 70s. Crime boss Rupert Thorne had him beaten to death in an unsuccessful attempt to get the information for free.

Wouldn’t “Batman & Robin in their civvies” just be pictures of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson? (Or Dick Grayson and Tim Drake or whoever).

With Lori Lemaris, he had to settle for oral.

Dick Grayson and Damien Wayne, currently. Tim Wayne (got adopted and changed his name) is going by Red Robin. I suspect the Wayne Boys will keep their current identities when daddy comes back, even if the unofficial brother switches back to Nightwing.

This kind of mind-numbing nonsense is why I no longer read comics. That and the prices.

God, I miss 'em.

When even he doesn’t really know his secret (or if he does right now, it’s probably just another implanted memory or whatever), what harm is there? Any relatives he has left are either supervillains or so far-removed that they wouldn’t mean any more to him than any random stranger, and all of his friends are folks that he knows as Wolverine, not as his “civilian identity” (whatever that is currently).

What harm?! He’s likely to pull my arms off that’s what! Oh… you mean harm to Wolverine… well… probably none… but he’s still likely to hurt me. :slight_smile:
