Episode 872 – Time Bubble Tracks: Ultra Dillinger!

Posted on by Paul

This Week in Legion History starts off the show, where Paul learns that 950 years from now, we’ll see the first appearance of Ultra Dillinger. This sends Paul to the time bubble all the way back to March of 2009, where Darren, Matt and Paul faced their fears as well as the Attack of the Crimson Virus in The Condemned Legionnaires, and learn that the Super Villains of All Ages is not a video dance party at all!

You too can thrill to the idea of Ultra Boy talking like Edward G Robinson, and Superboy saying “Wunderbar”, The Super Pets saving the day again, and to the Substitute Podcasters showing some love for Tony Bedard and Andy Clarke’s R.E.B.E.L.S.

Derek and Brent discover a whole new respect for Shooter and Manapul in LoSH Volume 5, issue 43, as they enjoy their world-building, comedy antics, and the respect shown for what has gone before in the threeboot.  In addition, we get to meet up with lots of supporting cast characters (who may or may not be Legion fan references). Appearing in this issue are the new UP Young Heroes (including Spy, Sonar, Voice and Gazelle), the UP President’s Deputy Chief of Staff (Zilya Popoff), SP Officers (Colonel Pismo, Corporals Miller & Crowley, Sergeant Stuhldreher and officer Layden), M’Rissey, UP Auditors (Buptkie & Spondulix), the Peril Men and the Ikonns  (Ikillies & Cazhmir).  We also explore some new locales including the  L’Kad Temple Complex on planet Velmar V, Carmine’s Custom Actionwear in Metropolis and the city of Ta Rshish on planet Rimbor.
