I didn't realise that there were actually two different Legions now, and just assumed the one I was reading about in Action Comics was the same one as in the Legion comics themselves.<BR/><BR/>You're right, Superboy Prime has killed billions, and it opens up some real philosophical (even theological) problems as to whether he can be redeemed. There's also the literary question as to whether the character can be redeemed in the eyes of the readers. For the first one, I (and apparently Superman) would answer "yes", but for the second one, I don't think the character can ever be redeemed sufficiently to the readership.<BR/><BR/>Hal Jordan had something of the same problem after becoming Parallax, but they made that not really him. No such retcon is available in the case of Superboy-Prime.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10190478379984737926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651349697408803798.post-15457989315812551082008-08-25T11:05:00.000-07:002008-08-25T11:05:00.000-07:00Hi Daniel,First of all, I don't remember if I've a...Hi Daniel,<BR/><BR/>First of all, I don't remember if I've already told this to you, but I was expecting this mini-series a lot, much more than Final Crisis itself. In this moment, L3W series it's more, for me, "Crisis-like" then Final Crisis.<BR/><BR/>Now, the clarifications: in fact, the Classic Legion, pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths, has returned in the recently and acclaimed Geoff Johns arc in Action Comics title "Superman and The Legion of Super-heroes". The other two Legions are, first, the post-Zero Hour Legion, and second, the post-Infinite Crisis Legion.<BR/><BR/>About the redemption, I think it's a excellent idea, but I'm wondering about it. I can't help to think about this: will Superman bring or not Superboy-Prime into Justice? I've already commented this in another Blog about this redemption thing: how could Prime live with memories of killing billions of people?<BR/><BR/>You know, it was "almost" the same question about Dark Phoenix/Jean Grey in "The Dark Phoenix Saga": how could she live with the memories of destroying an entire planet? So... they killed her. :-)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's really interesting to bring this discussion to this issue. This series will be really great!<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>Cristiano.Cristiano Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10304418887444230420noreply@blogger.com
