Podcasts about Cosmic Boy

Greetings, dear listener, and welcome back to "Jump on the Bat-Wagon" with James and Brian, where we watch through the entire DC Animated Universe from start to finish in the controversial airdate order, to experience these shows the way human beings experienced them in the far-gone days of the 1990s. The twist? Brian has never seen any of the DCAU. Will he become a super-fan like James or regret his decision? This week's episode: "New Kids in Town" "Superman: The Animated Series" Original airdate: 10/31/1998 A teen-aged Clark Kent teams up with Chameleon Boy, Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl from the New Legion, to battle Brainiac in Clark's hometown of Smallville.

In this issue, Brent and Derek explore a change in leadership.  Despite Chameleon liking the idea of one, it's hardly a reader ballot that elects the new Legion leader!  Cosmic Boy insults half the Legion. One Legionnaire quits. Another leaves.  Brainiac 5 updates Legion tech.  Everyone chooses sides.

We celebrate the 30th anniversary issue of the Legion of Super-Heroes, which focuses on Lightning Lad's unlucky streak.

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.

So for the 100th episode of the Character Corner, Kriss & Dpalm are finally back on the DC side and we decided we didn't want to make it easy on ourselves and so we're tackling the Legion of Super-Heroes. The the history of the Legion of Super-Heroes is one that rivals Wonder Woman, Donna Troy and Hawkman as having some oof the most convoluted and rebooted/retconned history on the DC side. There are several reasons for why the history of the Legion is so hard to pin down. Part of that is like with a lot of these characters, it was never the plan for them to be around as long as they were. That coupled with a few other things make the Legion really hard to follow a history on: They're from the future. The 30th century (and 31st century) and time travel almost always makes things messy Their history is centered around Superboy So the first isn't too big of a deal. there's a lot of characters in DC history that play around with time. But when it comes to tying the characters to  to Superboy…the follow up question has to be: Which One?   Now we've covered Superboy's history on another episode but there's going to be some overlap here. Particularly in the early years of the Legion.  Remember, there is a version of Superboy, particular the one we're talking about with the Legion that is a version of Clark Kent that later grows up to become Superman. Some other notable Superboy versions: Superboy Prime - From earth prime. Earth destroyed during Crisis. Becomes a villain The Metropolis Kid/Connor Kent (the clone) But for the Legion, we're talking Earth-1 Superboy (Later Pocket Universe Superboy which we will get into in episode 2). For this episode we keep it nice and simple and cover all the way up to the Great Darkness Saga which is still pre-crisis and before things get all weird. We focus mostly on how the concepts and early stories for the Legion of Super-Heroes really laid the groundwork for a lot of modern stories both in and out of comics. In episode 2 we'll really dive down into some of the specific characters as well as try to unwrap the craziness that happens post-crisis.    Issues: Adventure Comics #247 - First Appearance First Appearance of Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad/Boy Adventure Comics #267 - Second Appearance Adventure Comics #304 - “Death” of Lightning Lad Adventure Comics #329 - Brainiac 5 Introduces the Legion's Flight Ring Adventure Comics #346 - Jim Shooter's first story. Creates Ferro Lad, Karate Kid, Princess Projectra,  Adventure Comics #352 - First Appearance of the Fatal Five Adventure Comics 353 - First real death of a Legionnaire  Earthwar Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #241 - 245 Gerry Conway, Roy Thomas and Paul Levitz Run Legion of Super-Heroes #259 - 286 The Great Darkness Saga Legion of Super-Heroes vol 2, #287, #290 - 294, Annual #1 & 3 Like what you hear?

DC Comics Presents #43 (1982)Superman is harassed by his co-workers because he opts to have a wistful stare out of a window rather than talk to that yutz Jimmy Olson. He thinks he sees a Sun Eater and he’s correct but gets ambushed by Mongul. Mongul traps Clark in a glass case of emotion so its up to the Legion of Super-Heroes to figure it all out. Cosmic Boy shows up wearing his black Emma Frost corset costume and all is right in the world.Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield and email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.com

Let's bring our summer read-along of Legends to a conclusion this week. Hopefully you have been following along at home with some of the issues, if not all. And more power to you if you did! This event ran 28 issues, so we broke this up over four sessions. If you are just tuning in for Part 4, well, don't blame us if we spoil the ending. YOU HAVE HAD ALL SUMMER LONG -- SINCE 1986!! -- TO READ THIS SERIES! Adventures of Superman #426 Action Comics #586 Legends #5 Cosmic Boy #4 Justice League of America #2601 Legends #6 Secret Origins #14 In addition to our Legends wrap-up, John and Jerry discuss a podcasting panel they hosted at the Johnson County Library last week. We saw some familiar faces and met some new friends, and we apparently did well enough to earn us an email! Seriously, one you listeners love us! (Truthfully, we know that many of our listeners love us! But it doesn't hurt to remind us every now and then via email.) We also discuss the passing of artist Ernie Colón. The jack-of-all-trades worked for most every publisher at some point during his nearly 50-year career.

We have all three guys back in the WCPE studios to talk more Legends! As in DC's Legends event from 1986 which was the first company-wide event post-Crisis. This event ran 28 issues, so we are going to break this up over four sessions. If you are tuning in for Part 3, we hope you have listened to the earlier parts as well. For this week's reading, we will be covering the following issues if you want to follow along at home. Legends #4 Warlord #114 Cosmic Boy #3 Justice League of America #260 Blue Beetle #10 Warlord #115 Superman #3 Now, if we just had Legends to talk about, that would probably be a full show on it's own. Cullen and Jerry each went to a creator signing last week, and have some stories to share. We do a run down of House of X #1 from Marvel Comics. And we even talk about The Boys which debuted on Amazon Prime over the weekend. But wait, there's more, as we also have our Pick 3 for new books coming out next week. John and Jerry try to guess Cullen's pick for the week. He surprises us by not choosing an Image book. We would love to hear your comments on the show.

Secret Origins #10 FIrestorm #55 Legends #3 Cosmic Boy #2 Justice League of America #259 FIrestorm #56 Blue Beetle #9 In addition to our comic reading, we also look ahead at some of the nominees for the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, which will be given out Friday night at San Diego Comic Con.

Learning that it's true, the Legion puts it to a vote and Ultra-Boy is expelled from the Legion. Enraged that he's been expelled, Ultra-Boy tells the Legion that he will now work against them, and flees the planet to escape from them. The Legion tries to take in Ultra-Boy for his crimes, but each time they track him down, Ultra-Boy is able to evade capture. While fleeing the Legion, Ultra-Boy aids a number of humans who have had their minds placed into alien creatures before resuming his escape from the Legion. When hiding out on the phantom planet, Phantom Girl manages to track him down and warn him of the Legion's impending arrival, and they are captured by the aliens responsible for the rash of crimes that the Legion was investigating before going after Ultra-Boy. The aliens, having heard of Ultra-Boy's expulsion from the Legion's ranks offer him a chance to join them, and Ultra-Boy aids them in incapacitating the Legion. However, Ultra-Boy suddenly turns on his alien benefactors and captures them and frees the Legion. Ultra-Boy and Cosmic Boy then reveal that the entire episode was a ruse, where they planted evidence making it appear as though Ultra-Boy was a hunted criminal to lure out the real criminals. With the culprits caught, the Legion reinstate Ultra-Boy as one of their members. - via DC Wikia Adventure Comics #317 The Menace of Dream Girl!

In the meantime, the Legion induct a new member, Dream Girl, who is voted in because all of the male members of the Legion become instantly attracted to her and vote her into the Legion. Things start to get suspicious, as Dream Girl ends up entrapping various Legion members on disciplinary actions, leading to their temporary suspension from the Legion. After taking Ultra-Boy, Bouncing Boy, Shrinking Violet, Lightning Lad, and Lightning Lass to an alien world which causes them to de-age into infants (except for Dream Girl who took a preventative antidote) most of the Legion is on suspension. However, Dream Girl later reveals to Star Boy, that her power is to see the future through dreams, and the reason she has manipulated events is because she forsaw the Legion being killed in a rocket explosion, and that she did everything she could to prevent the Legion members from dieing. Star Boy then reveals to Dream Girl that what she saw was really a planned rocket flight with robot doubles of the Legion. Afterwards, all is explained and Dream Girl decides to leave the Legion to hone her powers, but not before seeing the other Legion members -- restored to their natural ages -- and learning that the episode gave Lightning Lass new powers over density, Dream Girl rechristens her Light Lass. - via DC Wikia LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES: THE SILVER AGE OMNIBUS Originally introduced in 1958, the Legion of Super-Heroes is a team of super-powered teenagers from the disparate worlds of the 30th century's United Planets.

When it's learned that there is too much air traffic on the planet Earth, Supergirl digs a tunnel through the planet wide enough for air ships to fly through in order to lighten the load. However, when she emerges and returns to the Legion, she is shocked that she is a full grown woman and therefor is no qualified to be a member of the Legion who does not admit anyone over the age of 18. Dismayed, the now Superwoman uses her X-Ray vision to find the cause, and finds that there was a chunk of Red Kryptonite that caused the change in her body. The Legion regretfully tells Superwoman that she will not be able to apply for membership for another year. Returning to her own time, and after the effects of the Kryptonite have worn off, Supergirl (in her civilian guise of Linda Lee) wonders if she'll be invited into the Legion again. - via DC Wikia Adventure Comics #282 Lana Lang and the Legion of Super-Heroes March 1961 w: Otto Binder a: George Papp Lana Lang is once more trying to win Superboy's affections, when the Boy of Steel is summoned to a cave near Smallville where he meets a super-hero calling himself Star Boy. Coming from the 30th Century and the planet Xanthu, Star Boy explains that he has similar super-powers to Superboy. He goes on to explain that he is also a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, and that he has traveled into the past to stop two Xenthuian criminals who had escaped into this era and are hiding out on Earth. However, Starboy's X-ray vision cannot penetrate copper and so has asked Superboy's help who's x-ray vision will be able to see through the copper piping used in Smallville's water system to find the criminals, who have been hiding in underground caverns. Lana Lang stumbles upon the two young heroes just as they finished capturing the Xanthuian criminals, and in order to get Superboy jealous, Lana bluffs Star Boy into believing she overheard his secret identity and forces him to pretend to be her boyfriend in order to make Superboy jealous. Traveling to the 30th Century with Superboy and Star Boy, Lana has the latter do whatever it takes to try and make Superboy jealous. However, Superboy sees through this ploy and ignores everything and even goes so far as to "date" a Xantharian girl, which causes Lana herself to become jealous and admit to the whole deception. With Lana having learned her lesson, the two teens from the 20th Century return to their own time. - via DC Wikia

Hello again future people, and thanks for listening to this 99th episode of Just One of the Guys, a Green Lantern podcast. This time on the show, J David Weter (host of Dave's Daredevil Podcast, PADSmash: An Incredible Hulk Podcast, and co-host of The Starman Observatory and Superman in the Bronze Age) and I finish our coverage of the Future Shock storyline, which introduced Kyle's distant offspring, resolved the issue of the faux Green Lantern Corps, and proved that Brainiac Five is kind of a dickweed. Seriously, we get that you are the smartest Legionnaire, but do you have to hold it over everyone else? Plus we find out that Kyle's legacy in the 30th Century is secure, both as himself and Green Lantern. And then there's the cliffhanger ending that leads into epic issue 100, with the return of a character that you never could have expected, unless you were a member of H.E.A.T., then you practically demanded it. So unless you want Kyle to punch you in the boobs (hey, sometimes you gotta take advantage of the situation), I suggest you grab your mp3 player of choice, download the show, and start to listening!Feedback for this show can be sent to: justoneoftheguyspodcast@gmail.comJust One Of The Guys is a proud member of the Two True Freaks!

Happy Friday, fair listeners, and welcome back to Just One of the Guys, a little show that talks about the Green Lantern books that came out between 1990 and 2004. This week is a special treat, because there's only one issue to cover, so less of me to listen to...SCORE!!! But that doesn't mean that the issue, number 98, is to be taken lightly. In fact Kyle Rayner might be up against his greatest foe (which might not be so surprising given his Rogues Gallery to date), an evil Green Lantern Corps! Add to that, he's been flung into the distant future, where all records of him being a Green Lantern are nonexistant. So no legacy, no way to get back to his own time, and an evil bunch of Lanterns led by Tomar Schwarzenegger. Luckily, the Legion of Superheroes is here to help Kyle out. Unluckily, one of the members is a female descendant of Barry Allen who has quite a crush on Kyle. It's a far flung fantasy featuring my favorite...comic book character (I'll never be as good as ol' Stan "The Man"), and to make sure I can tell my Sparks from my Leviathan, I've recruited J. David Weter (host of Dave's Daredevil Podcast and The Starman Observatory) to fill me in on all things Legion. So unless you are looking for some inappropriate touching by Ultra Boy, I suggest you grab your mp3 player of choice, download the show, and get to listening!
