Uh oh.  Jim's made a mess of the Mission Monitor Board and turned it into a planetary chance machine!  Join us as we quite randomly explore the fascinating worlds of the Legion of Super-Heroes, from the iconic Nullport to the mysterious Hykraius. Discover how these planets shape the lore, characters, and stories of the Legion universe, with insights into sci-fi concepts and character origins. As the chance machine controls this episode, we spend time focusing on planets like Weber's World, Naltor, Trom, and Aarok. 

What are these worlds about?  Who comes from there?  Will Jim ever get the Mission Monitor Board back and working again?

In this episode of the Long Live the Legion podcast, Jim, Jay, and guest Arumidden discuss everyone's favorite super-tall Legionnaire: Colossal Boy! Or Leviathan. They talk about the best way to pronounce Gim's name (is it Jim or Gim?), what are Colossal Boy's finest moments and worst costumes, and his strong connection to Durlans: Chameleon Boy and Gim's wife, Yera.

Discussing subjects such as Gim's quiet beginnings, his head gear, his failed romances, and his inability to properly lead the team, the trio look back at the highs and lows of Gim Allon's career as a Legionnaire. Jay also goes on a long rant about the character assassination Gim suffered during the 5YL Legion, so consider yourself warned.

In this episode of the Long Live the Legion podcast, Jim and Jay take a look at everyone's favorite Durlan: Chameleon Boy! Or Chameleon if you're more into reboots. They discuss Reep Daggle's history with the Legion, his skills and abilities, and call him the most intelligent Legionnaire. Their conversation focuses on how Cham is the one Legionnaire who has almost no bad stories - he's just such a fascinating character to write that every creative team has found an effective way to use him. From his detective stories, to his failed romances (especially with a bird), to his leadership of the Espionage Squad, Cham is one of the most important Legionnaires and a character they want to see in any future incarnation of the Legion.
