If Lyle hadn't gotten wrapped up in a shady government spy program as a kid I fully believe he would be running one of those youtube channels where they do really weird and/or dangerous science experiments for the hell of it, like Nile Red or something like that.

He would be turning plastic gloves into grape soda and playing with bromine for fun.

I have once again updated the family tree, as per yesterday's question. It'll probably be out of date come July.

There might be two different versions of Kajz, with one being Pran's son and the other being Lyrl's. I’ve chosen to equate them because there’s no proof that they’re not the same person.

Brainiac had an infant child in Forever Evil. It may have been Vril or Techne or may not be canon anymore.

Brainiac 6 has only ever been mentioned in conjunction with Indigo's backstory. We know nothing about them and it's entirely possible they're not even related to the others.

Brainiacs 12 and 13 are just versions of Brainiac.

Brainiac 417 because who knows what DC One Million is connected to.

It’s unclear whether how and if the unknown Earth-Prime woman is actually related to Querl, but it's heavily implied she's his mother.

#losh tag #brainy tag #ah. consistency who? a DC classic #it's always been interesting how much it changes per universe #how much of this is writers wanting to actually reinvent things and how much is it lack of research lol

I do think the neurodivergent coding Brainy's always had throughout his different iterations is interesting. in most medias, Brainy is so othered and different even by Coluan standards. Telepaths even say his mind isn't built like a normal coluan's. it's such an interesting aspect of his character, that there is truly no one else who's like him

the brainiac family is the best dc family bc they are a bunch of super geniuses who pride themselves on being above it all but 75% of the time when they have beef all maturity goes out the window. lets beat grandpa with sticks

I think that I get why people like the "All of Smallville knows Clark Kent is secretly Superboy/Superman" because it's all wholesome and fun or whatever but I think it misses the fundamental isolation at the heart of Superman as a character...

Like Kal having to hide a massive element of who he is for his entire life is a vital element of the character and ignoring that is harmful to the character. He does in fact have emotional struggles and dark elements and pretending he doesn't... makes him boring?

‘the legion of super-heroes fandom is so small’

it’s actually decently substantial but most of its members are in their 50s & 60s atp and tend to post on legion dedicated forums rather than places like tumblr or twitter.

i mean, interlac is still being printed after nearly 50 years. this is just a fandom that pre-dates the internet.

society if Two-Face was Batman's arch-nemesis instead of the Joker:

Not to defend that reboot but I feel that the problem with Querl and how the other characters where written isn't just because they where all "too nice". They were written one dimensionally with no clear defined archetypes to latch onto, aside being very meme obsessed quippy young people.

The most memorable characters for me where:

Ayla where she made a clear stance to opposed the UPs imperialist nature, yeah she joined the legion but I honestly think that was just to watch out for her brother like all the other Aylas always do. She wasn't that bad, but I was disappointed she didn't have any arc to bring her back into the team naturally and on her own terms.

Imra was problematic, I guess the worst telepathic character or person possible. But I think under a pen that doesn't seem like it has a weird bias against the users of that power. It can be done very well. Legion lost Imra is a perfect example, where she justified mentally conditioning everyone to keep them from losing hope and disaffecting from their extremely terrifying situation. Exerting so many mental illusions hurt her tremendously to the point it nearly kills her, and as mad as the characters are for being lied to, they all understand that she was doing it all for their sakes, as twisted as it was.

Bendisboot Imra forces her way in others minds almost by impulse. She comes from a planet where people communicate to each others minds all the time like it's breathing. Now she's in a setting where that form of muti channel communication is cut off from her TREMENDOUSLY. So I would drive in a point that she can't really manage her telepathic reach like most would want her to. When the readers and the other characters understand this, they can reach a baseline with her to better develop a connection and humanize her character. Without context like this, she looks like a manipulative asshole.

Querl just exists to be exposition and techno babble. He has no identity aside from being a poor man's Data. We did have a nice Querl before and that was the 2006 cartoon. That robo Querl was friendly and outgoing, especially to Sups lol. But he was also very sensitive to being picked on (disliked any form of sarcasm) and just hated being emotionally unguarded. There were clear deep troubles with him that you wanted to know more about and understand. The meaner Querls follow the same formula for the best goal; you want to know what his baggage is.

Any way these were kinda my thoughts on three of the characters that I thought about the most from bendisboot. As negative as I was, they did left an impact I guess.

#losh tag #100% agree with this
