ALL THINGS WILL MAKE SENSE AFTER A VISIT FROM

HELL'S RETCON!!!!!11!!!!!

Wait...that was supposed to help?!

No, here's the current history:

When Clark was a teen, Lar crashed in his back yard with Amnesia. Clark thought he was his brother (he had Kryptonian powers, and remembered he had a connection to the house of El). After a week of palling around, Lar got a dose of lead poisoning which restored his memories (he was a historian from Daxam, chasing artifacts from ancient Krypton, specifically Kal's rocket). Unfortunately he was also now dying form the lead, so Clark throws him into the Phantom Zone (which he admits he doesn't know how to escape from) and vows to find a) A cure and b) a way out of the Zone. (All this in Action COmics Annual).

1,000 years later, Brainiac 5 figures out a way to get Lar out and cure him. Daxam was wiped out long ago leaving him as the last survivor. After a dementia induced fight with Supergirl, Lar comes to his senses and joins the Legion and the Wanderers in their fight against the Dominion. He takes the name Mon-el. (All this in the last five issues of "Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes).

That's all that's known right now. So the L.E.G.I.O.N, Invasion, Valor, Seeding Worlds, Kon-el, etc. is all out as far as "New Earth" is concerned.

L.E.G.I.O.N. doesn't count anymore?!?!?


Darth Vader: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Thanks for the info, regardless.

Welll, L.E.G.I.O.N is still around, but Lar doesn't play into their history now, so no ones sure what exactly their timeline is now. (Unless one of the six people reading Mystery in Space and Omega Men know anything).

It might explain why Garryn Bek and Strata are alive after Lobo #62.

Omega Men have new appearances?

Well, there's this poorly drawn group calling themselves "The Omega Men" and pretending to be the old group over in a mini-series by that title but as far as I'm concerned, it's like Chuck Austen's Nightcrawler versus the usual Kurt Wagner.

(Though to be fair I've been buying the issues, if anything because they do connect to some of the other majour events going on in the DCU like Lady Styx...but I'm still hating the "new" Doc).

Oh yeah, Doc. I remember him. Vid-head, right?
