My apologies, JTR, I didn't know you were semi-serious with the Jimmy Olsen thing.

And no, it wasn't Cat Grant. I don't recall them having a relationship; but she is a post-Crisis creation anyway.

Well, with Jimmy it was never as disturbing as the times when Supes would kiss Kara. I mean, that's his own cousin. Just seems rather disturbing.

Even SB-Prime's GF, Laurie Lemmon, had the "L.L." initials.

I'll say Wonder Woman.

I knew someone would say Wonder Woman. There were a couple of pre-Crisis tales where they were an "item", but there were either mind-manipulation by someone (for example, Eros in DC Comics Presents #10) or a villain disguised as one of them (as in Lois Lane #93). So no, not Wonder Woman.

I got it now.

Linda Danvers. While she didn't show up till well after COIE, the Pre-Crisis Supergirl showed up in post-COIE reality. Then, Linda Danvers took that SG's place for a short time in the past... PRE COIE. She not only dated the Pre-Crisis Superman, she eventually married him and bore him a child. She was forced back to the Post-crisis reality by the Spectre (Hal Jordan) and then the real Pre-crisis SG was sent back. And that child of Linda's and Clark's survived. Ariella was their daughter.
As her relationship, dating and marriage, takes place in the past, pre-crisis, and to the Superman of Earth-1, and her intials are no "L.L." but are, in fact, "L.D.", it should therefore be counted as a pre-crisis event.

I was reminded of this when Linda recently re-appeared in the "Reign In Hell" storyline.

This is the problem with saying "pre-Crisis" and "post-Crisis" and meaning something chronological or something fictionally chronological.

--I usually just mean "before 1986" when I say it.

ps: Oh, the question. I have no clue. That superheroine from outer space who was going to marry Superman (but couldn't, because her powers derived from a purple sun or something) had the initials LL, didn't she?

Pre-crisis always refers to publishing history, not the timeline of the universes.

Story-wise, the dating and marriage took place before the COIE.



I've always used it in the sense of the universe's history and not the publication date.

Maxima (she wasn't pre-crisis though, was she?)

Unless the "Crisis" CuCr meant is "Infinite Crisis".

No one got this. I was going for Sally Selwyn, a girl Clark dated during a time when he had amnesia (a Weisinger-era story, if you couldn't guess that).

The thread is open.

Thought you were away, maybe got a sitter for the kids and were off with the wife on a romantic getaway or something.

Heres an easy one;

Johnny Rockwell played what superhero in a 1961 TV show pilot?

That would be superboy... why do i know that... man im a nerd...
