Analysis Notes

Cover The inset touting “Atom! And the Legion of Executive Familiars!” implies that the two are in the same story, but they are not. On the other hand, each story features a character who can split into a bazillion individuals, which makes for a reasonable connection.

2-3 In the circular insets on page 3 are Justice Legion L, from the 863rd century, including The Umbra, the Mon-Elves, Implicate Girl, Brainiac 417, Titan Girl, Cosmicbot, and the Chameleon (in a layout strongly swiped fron the cover of Legionnaires #1,000,000), and the Legion of Executive Familiars, indicated in this issue as being from thousands of years before the 853rd, when Solaris was a hero.

14-21 This story takes place sometime between the 505th century, when Solaris was reprogrammed, and the 700th century, when Superman Prime returned, probably in the late 600s. It takes place after the flashback in Superman: The Man of Tomorrow #1,000,000.

14:2 The smoke rising from the dragons is presumably steam. Born from the fires of Solaris, Phaethon and Savitar’s skin is constantly steaming.

15:2 Krypto⁹ was in Superman: The Man of Tomorrow #1,000,000; “Krypto-9” is a typo.

15:3 “Googal” is a typo for “Googol”, a 1 followed by 100 zeroes. (Unless the mouse is a female, in which case “Googal” is a pun as well as descriptive. This story has a number of typos in it, though, so the spelling is probably not intentional.)

15:4 Yeah, enough! This sort of sniping should be limited to the Internet and political campaigns!

15:5 “Diminutive rodent,” eh? Seeing the statues and flashback to other Legion members - including a parakeet and a lobster - this is a bit odd. Maybe animals have an inadequate memory of the past.

15:5-16:1 Note that which “misty century” that was is not indicated.

16:1 While this group evokes the Legion of Super-Pets known from the preboot, observe that this Beppo is a chimpanzee, not a monkey. This group may date from any time between the 21st and 45th centuries.

The globe behind them is supposed to be Earth, but the land/water configuration does not match that known today. This probably occurs after the 31st century.

16:2-3 Neither of these is Krypto⁹.

16:3 Given the effect around the lobster, can we dub it “Snapper Claw”?

16:4 This “universal telepathy” echoes how the preboot Saturn Girl “shared” her power with the Legion of Super-Pets so they could communicate with on another.

Note the lack of gold forearm coverings, seen later in the story. Krypto⁹’s powers have changed since the Legion of Executive Familiars was founded.

16:4-5 The text here would seem to indicate that these animals are representatives of the various Legions of Super-Familiars of the system. It thus makes little sense for Hoodoo Beast and Googal to apply to membership here rather than on a particular planet; possibly all applicants go through the Executives and are parcelled out to the planets, or maybe these are applicants who have no planet of their own.

17:7 “Phaethon” (actually “Phaëthon”) is the son of Helios, his chariot driver. “Savitar” is a Hindu sun god (as well as a foe of Flash III and Max Mercury). Both are appropriate names for creatures born of a robotic sun.

18:2 The 853rd century is characterized by cities existing inside tesseracts, leaving the actual landmass of Earth largely uninhabited. The details of this Tesseract Revolution and why the white-footed mouse could not withstand it are open to speculation.

18:5 Legions of any sort never learn. (And Hoodoo Beast will probably go on to be a major foe of the Legion of Executive Familiars, too.)

Krypto⁹’s dogtag has a “not” sign on it, perhaps to indicate that he is a free animal, one with no “owner”.

19:2 The Plutonium Asylum is presumably on Pluto, the 853rd century’s prison planet.

Lettering error: the thought balloon is from Krypto⁹, despite the design being Wormhole’s.

19:3 “The Liar”? Depending on spell checkers for your proofreading is a bad idea.

An anti-gravity bomb apparently cuts gravity in the affected region.

20:1 Observe that the Blackhole Liberation Front creatures actually speak, rather than using telepathy like the animals do.

20:4 Anti-gravity seems an odd weapon for a group taking its name from black holes. Maybe their goal is liberation from black holes, not liberation of them.

Coughing up furballs marks the BLF as panthers or other felines.

The anti-gravity nature explains why the Sun Dogs appear to be being pushed on the outer edge of the explosion.

22:2 “Boson”: a subatomic particle whose spin is either zero or an integral number. (Technobabble, in other words.)

As is typical, the villain undermines his victory by telling the heroes what he did, giving them a chance to win.

23:5 The gold forearm coverings and the cape draped over the shoulder are hallmarks of Captain Marvel. This may indicate that Krypto⁹’s ability to increase his powers is rooted in the Shazam! powers. (What would the dog gods he gets his powers from be? Sarama [Indra’s dog; Hindu], Herne [leader of the Wild Hunt in English mythology, accompanied by the hounds of Annwn], Anubis [jackal-headed lord of the dead; Egyptian], Zorya [sky goddesses that prevent a dog from eating Ursa Minor and ending the universe; Slavic], Aguara [fox god; Tunpa], and Ma’iio [aka Coyote; Navajo] would be one such set.)
