Tomorrow’s Heroes Today Episode 16 – In Ancient Times
Special guest Mo Walker joins Derek and Brent as they and some Legion teens explore the notion of Crisis.
A mysterious stranger lurks among the teens and has a very strong resemblance to a few past LSH characters. The teens recount a story of the silver age LSH meeting Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan and Alan Scott and the Flashes, Jay Garrick and Barry Allen.
In a second story the Secret Society of Super Villains meet Karate Kid and the LSH. Finally the Crisis on Infinite Earths hits and Sensor Girls and Quislet among others interfere with the Anti Monitor’s cosmic cannon. None of this happened you say? Hmm … perhaps not.
