Reprinted – Legion of Super Heroes - The Great Darkness Saga – Deluxe Edition - 2011
Comment – Dream Girl is elected as leader? Dream Girl was introduced as a strategic genius who masterminded the disbanding of the Legion so she alone could face a terrible menace that she foresaw. She also was a scientific genius who could transform Lightning Lass’s abilities.
Then she was left in the background; brought out when ever they needed a plot twist. She became a bit of a “dumb blonde” with nightmares.
As Legion leader, she is written an organizational genius, playing off her ditzy demeanor to become a strong and effective leader.
I am trying to discover if this was a fan vote or a decision by Levitz, but eigher way, he turned it into a genius move.
