In this episode, Paul, Darren and Matt talk about the Legion and learn an important life lesson. That life lesson is that one should never allow their super powered cousin to try and set them up, in Superman’s Super Courtship. Next they greet a new member to the Legion in The Boy with the Ultra Powers.
Words cannot completely convey the creepiness of Superman’s Super Courtship, but the guys try really hard. Also in this episode, more Legion news than you can shake a stick at, although really, why would you ever shake a stick at Legion News?
