Legion of Superheroes - Season 3 - The Legion Groupie Vol. 13, #9 August 2986 Special Double-Wedding Issue!

From our GM during the game

Well, we had our double Legion wedding, just not the ones we were expecting! In this issue, we’ll cover those weddings—one expected, one not (but still a long time coming)—as well as a look back at previous Legion weddings and how they stacked up. Duo Damsel and Bouncing Boy. Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad. Colossal Boy and “Chameleon Girl.” Karate Kid and Princess (well, Queen) Projectra. These weddings excited the imagination of the United Planets. Well, the three that we knew about anyway.

Photos provided were too big for blogger platform

And now two more! Longtime Legion couple Ultra Boy and Phantom Girl finally tied the knot after what seems like decades of dating! And Legion Academy students Dynasty and Nightwind likewise wed, all in perhaps the most daring wedding we’ve ever seen (and boy did we see a lot!). Held on Winath at Dynasty’s insistence, the brides and groom and all the guests were naked! Wow!

Our GM provided photos. Because they were of a real wedding, I have redacted them

But our spies within Legion HQ and the Academy hint that trouble brews for both couples. Rumor has it that Nightwind’s former partners, Lamprey and Crystal Kid, are intensely jealous of her new relationship, especially since they are not being included in the planned honeymoon (said to be set for Ventura where, lest we forget, Pflx Rambo is still dead). Meanwhile, we’re told that Ultra Boy felt rushed into the wedding by Phantom Girl and is already having regrets. Word is he’s in love with someone else and was considering breaking off his relationship with Phantom Girl, which is why she sped up plans for their wedding and joined Dynasty and Nightwind on Winath. Yikes!

Meanwhile, what of the planned wedding that started all of this—Legion Academy student and new Legionnaire Quatro Lad’s engagement to Margi Tinelli, the 3rd richest female sentient in the UP? Various stories are circulating. One is that Ms. Tinelli was pressured into calling it off by her uncle and guardian, Leland McCauley. Another is that the four-armed hero got cold feet and hired a lawyer—former Legionnaire Tenzil Kem—to work out a more advantageous pre-nup agreement for him. Will these two love-avians ever enter wedded bliss?

Inside you’ll find retrospective looks at the previous Legion weddings, uncensored, long-range holophotos of the double wedding on Winath, and speculation on what’s next for our happy (?) couples. Long Live the Legion!
