* TakeThat: There's a subtle one to ''ComicBook/ManOfSteel'' and John Byrne's overall take on Superman, which infamously kickstarted all the continuity problems which are still plaguing the Legion to this day. Eyeful Ethel is shown teaching children in the Human Cultural Center that Superman was a homegrown Earthling hero who was against aliens. Byrne's Post-Crisis origin story showed Superman was technically born on Earth thanks to mechanics of Jor-El's rocket and Kryptonian's birthing protocols. When he infamously encountered the Legionnaires "for the first time" in original Pocket Earth arc, Superman was immediately distrustful of them because they were aliens. There's even the one issue where Superman showed himself willing to work for Republican president Ronald Reagan. All in all, Johns essentially reframes the ''Man of Steel'' era as the spiteful, Right Wing-esque mischaracterization from someone with a grudge against the Legion.
