"Thank you. That fits with my personal feelings about the late 1960s Flash. As much as I like Frank Robbins' Batman work, he could not get the hang of Flash at all."

"How did I miss that about Night Girl?"
"I might have remembered the letter unconsciously. I was definitely influenced by Luornu infiltrating the presidential palace in "The Legion Chain Gang." She seemed such a logical fit for the Espionage Squad I couldn't imagine she…"
"That makes perfect sense. Glad I didn't spend any more time scouring the rest of '68 for the clue I was convinced lay in those last issues.
My personal Silver Age for JLA runs through Gardner Fox's departure — I'm very fond…"
"Commander, one question: was there any particular reason you cut off the Silver Age (for the purposes of finding answers) short of your usual point? I looked at the excluded issues (not closely, I admit) and didn't see what difference it would…"
"Funny, I couldn't get enough of stuff like that, even as a kid.
You make a good case for Superman (I'll see what the Commander thinks) but Night Girl? Aren't her powers fairly clear-cut?"
"On #8, yes, that's a fair call on Bizarro.

"That seems like a sound assumption, though they could always pull the rug out from under it. Especially when we have so few details, as yet."
"I really wish they'd just recast Kate. Ruby Rose might be replaceable but I'm not sure Kate Kane is."
"For example I found an answer in one of his earlier quizzes by remembering "I think that's in JLA 55" and perusing the issue. Oddly I was right but I had the context of the information completely wrong. Memory is weird."
"Well I certainly do and I've never hidden the fact.

"Yeah, it appeared to me he'd changed his name before he entered the Legion Academy."
"The question I'm most curious about now is #8 as we've had multiple suggestions. Unless there's some simple but obvious reason to eliminate most of them, I'm assuming this one has multiple answers too."
"Dang, that knocks out my Supergirl add-on answer.

"A lot depends on the meaning of "knowingly." I added Supergirl to my original list because the Kents met her as Supergirl so they "know" who she is — but they didn't "know" she was a Legionnaire. I'm…"

Welcome to the Comics Round Table,
Glad you are still here.I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately.

Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
Kate Kwame.
