Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel are getting married, and the wedding crashers Ross and Kirby are there too.  They discuss the our perfect couple, the evil but no so big bad Starfinger, and his oddly erotic spaceship. There is also some high praise for Mr Dave Cockrum   #Podcast #DCComics #Superboy #LOSH #LLL #BouncingBoy #DuoDamsel #LightngLad #CosmicBoy #SaturnGirl #CaryBates #DaveCockrum #StarFinger

Action Comics 380 and 381 turn the Legion stories into a pair of romance comics. One is a love triangle between Bouncing Boy, Duo Damsel, and Lam-Nor (who?), the other between Shrinking Violet, Matter-Eater Lad, and Duplicate Boy.  I am starting to did these short mini adventures, but his was a split decision   #DCComics #LegionofSuperHeroes #BouncingBoy #DuoDamsel #ShrinkingViolet #MatterEaterLad #DuplicateBoy #JimShooter #ActionComics     Check out; Maple Terrance by Noah Van Schiver from Uncivlized Comics   https://uncivilizedbooks.com/

We say good by to Adventure Comics.  The final two issues take the team out into outerspace.  The stories a fun an are examples of the formula that had serve team during the 50s and 60s. I found them engaging it was nice to see Chemical King, Bouncing Boy, and Duo Damsel so of the limelight.   #comicbooks #podcast #legionofsuperheroes #superboy #bouncingboy #duodamsel #chemicalking #ultraboy #chamelonboy #invisiblekid #shrinkingviolet #adventurecomics

Hey Girls and Boys, Lads and Lasses, the biggest superhero team on any Earth, The Legion of Super-Heroes, tangles with the villainous Time Trapper as he turns their former ally Superboy against them. It's an ambitious story in the post-Crisis world that serves as a template for DC storytelling to this day. We discuss this all with Legion super-fan and "DC Book of Lists" author Randall Lotowycz!Ep. 94 What If the Time Trapper created a pocket universe to turn Superboy against the Legion of Super-Heroes?With Special Guest author and editor Randall LotowyczEarth of an unknown designation as seen in the Superman & Legion of Super-Heroes crossoverThe Legion of Super-Heroes can seem intimidating with their 20+ members from the traditional members like Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, and Mon-El to the wacky powered beings like Matter Eating Lad, Shrinking Violet, and Bouncing Boy, which is why we break down this team from the 60s through their major turning point post crisis in the 1980s. We travel through a multi issue arc constructed by major architects Paul Levitz and John Byrne that sees the Legion and Superman battle their old friend Superboy in a pocket universe, all controlled by the mysterious cloaked Time Trapper. We also discuss Time Trapper co-creator and Weird Tales writer Edmund Hamilton and how we are still seeing the reverberations of this story in DC's current multiverse and alternate Earth storytelling on film and TV - including the upcoming Flash film from 2023 and more! Finally, we speculate what's next for the Time Trapper and whether Marvel's Kang stole his onscreen...time. We are joined by special returning guest, author and editor Randall Lotowycz.Follow Randall on his website or on Twitter or Instagram.

Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #76 Elastic Lad Jimmy and His Legion Romances! April 1964 w: Jerry Siegel a: John Forte Having invited Lucy Lane over for a date, Jimmy tries his best to try to impress her in hope that she will like him more. However, everything turns out to be uninteresting and dull compared to her other suitors. When Jimmy attempts to show her the exploits of the Legion of Super-Heroes with the aid of the time monitor they gave him, their date is interrupted by the arrival of Ultra-Boy and Sun-Boy who have come to ask for Jimmy's help on a mission in the 30th Century. Jimmy agrees to go and tells Lucy to stay and watch him in action on the time monitor, hoping this is the ticket he needs to get her to like him. In the future, Jimmy is left with Saturn Girl, Triplicate Girl, and Light Lass who tell him that he has to be active with the Legion at least twice a year, and so they give him a replica of his Elastic Lad costume and serum so that he can assist them in transporting a priceless Venusian idol to the Astro Museum. Along the way, Jimmy not only has to deal with disasters, wild animals, and criminals, but also the romantic advances of the three female Legion members. After their mission is over, the three girls fight over Jimmy's affections until he is picked up by Ultra-Boy and Sun-Boy who return Jimmy to his own time. With Jimmy gone the girls drop their charade, having staged the whole thing, knowing that Lucy Lane would be watching on the time monitor, in hopes that their advances on Jimmy would make her jealous enough to treat him better. When Jimmy returns to his own time, he finds that Lucy had fallen asleep, and demands a taxi home after listening to Jimmy's "wild story". Watching this through their own time monitor in the 30th Century, the Legion girls are disappointed with the outcome of their little charade. - via DC Wikia Adventure Comics #321 The Code of the Legion! June 1964 w: Edmond Hamilton a: John Forte When the Legion intruder alarm goes off, it turns out to be Bouncing Boy, who has just lost his powers due to an accidental exposure to a ray being developed by Element Lad. Instead of expelling him, the Legion decides to keep Bouncing Boy on as a reserve member of the Legion. Later the Legion is visited by Commissioner Wilson who has heard of a secret weapon the Legion has developed called the Concentrator. It's a device so devastating, the Legion refuses to tell anyone it's secret. The Commissioner decides to test the Legion's ability to keep this secret by putting each Legion member through a test designed to put them up against the most lethal attack possible, in an attempt to coerce the secret out of them. All the Legion members pass except for Lightning Lad who tells the Commissioner the secret. As punishment, Lightning Lad is to be imprisoned. However, Lightning Lad confides in his fellow Legionnaires that the information he told the Commissioner was false, and the if the Commissioner was an impostor he would soon be flushed out. Sure enough, the "Commissioner" turns out to be the Time Trapper, and when he realizes the deception he returns behind the Iron Curtain of Time once more. After his defeat, the Legion rescue the real Commander and vow to stop the Time Trapper once and for all. Later, the Legion meets up with their now powerless member Bouncing Boy who introduces them to his new girlfriend, who turns out to be just as fat as he used to be. - via DC Wikia

This time on the Couch: It's three white people teaching the world about racial tolerance when Mike, James, and Shée lightly tread through Superboy no. 216, starring the Legion of Super-Heroes! It's a thousand years in the future and bigotry still exists in the form of Black Panther ripoff Tyroc hating on whitey (and greeny, in the case of Brainiac 5) for failing to help his people. Is what follows a thoughtful lesson in bridge-building and understanding, or just the catalyst for three podcasters verbally squirming for 30 minutes? Plus, in a backup tale nobody asked for, pudgy ex-Legion member Bouncing Boy won't stop bragging about how his wife can split into two women. Dude, you're already way out of your league, just keep your mouth shut and try not to ruin this for yourself.Find out more at http://darkseidscouch.com

They reject a powerless rich kid named Lester Spiffany and an applicant called Storm Boy who fakes his powers with a hidden weather control device. Bouncing Boy is then randomly chosen to tell his origin. After gaining his bouncing powers by accidentally drinking a super-plastic formula, he is rejected for Legion membership. But when Bouncing Boy uses his rubbery properties to ground himself so he can defeat a criminal with an electric shocker, he is invited to join the Legion. His story encourages the new applicants to keep trying. - via DC Wikia Adventure Comics #302 Sun-Boy's Lost Powers! November 1962 w: Jerry Siegel a: John Forte Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, and Sun-Boy make a trip to Metropolis where the people are unveiling the first of a series of statues in honor of the Legion of Super-Heroes. The first statue is revealed to be of Sun-Boy, who has to use his powers to destroy the statue when it begins to topple, threatening to crush spectators of the event. Flying back to headquarters later, Sun-Boy realizes his powers have run out when he cannot use them to illuminate a city going through a black out. This prompts Sun-Boy to try and restore his powers, using a similar atomic device that first gave him his powers, and later a volcano, however both attempts fail to restore them. When an entomologist visits the Legions base to gift them with insects from other planets, Sun-Boy's powers briefly come back. Later when Ultra-Boy and Superboys arrive for a scheduled meeting, Sun-Boy asks them to help try to restore his powers using a mirror device and both heroes x-ray visions. This attempt also fails. After giving up, Sun-Boy accepts the fact that his powers are gone, and he is asked to resign from the Legion, he cleans out his locker and supplies and leaves. Later, while watching the Legion in action, Sun-Boy is visited by Bouncing Boy who has come to take his Legion monitor. Later, Kranyak, a villain which Sun-Boy helped incarcerate, learns of the news about Sun-Boy's powers escapes from prison. Reuniting with his gang, Kranyak attacks Sun-Boy to learn if the stories are true. Learning that they are indeed true, Kranyak tells Sun-Boy that he is going to destroy the other Legionaries. Realizing how to finally restore his powers, Sun-Boy travels to the planet Lurna. There he makes a flame-beast blast him with it's flame breath, this miraculously restores his powers. Sun-Boy then returns to Earth where he stops Kranyak and his gang from crushing the Legion's base with a giant chunk of ice and easily defeats the crook. After Kranyak has been turned over, Sun-Boy explains to the Legion how his powers were restored: That the only way his powers could be restored would be exposure to sufficient heat energy from living creature that has heat-based powers. He goes on to explain he figured it out when he touched a firefly from the planet Lurna, and so went there find a creature with stronger flame powers. He also explains that the reason why his powers weren't restored by Superboy and Ultra Boy is because they are really robots. This was figured out while Sun-Boy watched the Legion in action and the two heroes were drawn towards Cosmic Boy whenever he used his magnetic powers. When revealed as robots, the Legion checks out their inner workings and learn that they were sent to the future by Ultra Boy and Superboy, who were busy in the 20th Century celebrating the birthday of Pete Ross. The robots were sent to the future to take their place, and they caught caught in a storm during their travel through the time barrier which caused them to forget they were really robots.

They take her back to the 30th Century and invite her to join the Legion, and introduce her to the other new members: Shrinking Violet, Sun Boy, Bouncing Boy, and Brainiac 5 -- The latter being the descendant of Superman's old foe Brainiac. After partaking in the Legion of Super-Heroes' parade, Supergirl prepares to return to her own time, when Brainiac 5 asks her to stay and be his girlfriend. Supergirl politely declines because she has to return to her own time. Back in the 20th century, Supergirl is contacted by Lori Lemaris and Jerro to test out a new force field they hope will protect Supergirl from harmful Kryptonite rays. The device works, however when Supergirl tries to throw the Kryptonite into space she scares off Krypto. burying the Kryptonite on a distant planet and returning home, Supergirl's force field device is damaged by a meteor and Lori is unable to repair it.

Investigating it as Superboy, the Boy of Steel is shocked to find an occupant inside that has a star chart and a medallion around his neck from Jor-El, his own father, about his apparent son. Believing that this person is a previously unknown and long lost brother, Superboy is disappointed to find that the occupant has amnesia. Taking him in with the Kents, they decide to name him Mon-El, based partially on the day of the week he landed on Earth (Monday) and on Kryptonian names. Pa Kent also sets Mon-El up with a civilian guise of Bob Cobb so that Mon-El can assume a civilian life in Smallville, as a brush salesman. However, Superboy beings to get suspicious of Mon-El's true nature, and begins to doubt his origins when he realizes the buckle on Mon-El's belt is not made of any Kryptonian metal, and Krypto doesn't recognize Mon-El. As a final test, Superboy tries to expose Mon-El to Kryptonite as the boy sleeps and is shocked that it has no effect. The next day, after Mon-El tries to show up Clark for Lana Lang's affections, Superboy decides to trick Mon-El into "revealing" himself by orchestrating a Kryptonite meteor hoax while they're playing. To do so, Superboy paints lead meteors to resemble Kryptonite and throws them into space so that they land on Earth at the right time. Superboy is shocked to find that Mon-El is effected by the lead meteors just as Superboy would have been effected by real Kryptonite. This causes Mon-El's memories to return, and he reveals that his real name is Lar Grand, who was from the planet Daxam, and landed on Krypton just before it's destruction and befriended Jor-El before departing the planet, and that the crash really did cause him to have amnesia. As lead being the Daxarian's weakness, Mon-El is about to die, however Superboy comes up with a solution to save Mon-El's life, by sending him to the Phantom Zone until he can find a cure for Mon-El's lead poisoning. - via DC Wikia

Darren and Paul go all Project Runway on the Legion’s new jackets and pouches, while the Legion handles a prison break on Labyrinth, and Bouncing Boy’s moustache lingers on!

The always excellent Alan White, creator of The Power Principle, joins the Subs to welcome a new Legionnaire to the team. Tyroc meets the Legion, while elsewhere, Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel run afoul of some 30th Century hoodlums.

The Subs celebrate 5 years of Legion Podcasting with a look at the wedding of Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel. Who are the martians in attendance, and how long will it take the guys to realize why they’re there?

Darren, Scott and Paul take a look at issue 199 of Superboy Starring The Legion of Super Heroes as Tyr and his hand make their return to the title. Also, Bouncing Boy fights Kraven the Hunter’s red headed stepbrother.

You can't celebrate 75 years of Superman without honoring his creators: Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Over the years, there have been several stories either dedicated to them or create in homage to them. The first story to do this in the Bronze Age was in Action Comics 447, when writer Elliott S! Maggin combined the 2 into one man who creates his own Superman stories. And considering that this is before they finally got their creator credits back in the comic books, this was a pretty big deal. And in our back-up feature, J David Weter takes us through a book length adventures to celebrate Superboy's 200th issue, in a story that include the wedding of Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel? All this and more in yet another thrill-packed episode!

NEWS The First X-Men arrive in August LINK REVIEWS Stephen Hardcore #1 Writer: Robert Kirkman Artist: Brian Stelfreeze From the creative minds of Image partners Robert Kirkman & Marc Silvestri! Once the hard core is shot into the back of your neck, an assassin’s brain waves can be transmitted into your body–circumventing your brain functions–taking complete control of your body. When assassins use this technology–your killer can be anyone; your barber, your neighbor or your wife.

[rating:3/5] RODRIGO RESIDENT ALIEN #1
 A stranded alien seeks refuge in the small town of Patience, USA, where he hides undercover as a semiretired doctor, masking his appearance using his unique mental abilities. Now known as Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, all the alien wants is to be left alone until he’s rescued. However, when the town’s real doctor dies, “Dr. Harry” is pulled into medical service—and also finds himself smack dab in the middle of a murder mystery! He’d rather be fishing. Acclaimed creators Peter Hogan (2000 AD,Tom Strong) and Steve Parkhouse (The Milkman Murders, Doctor Who) deliver a truly unique sci-fi adventure tale!
