I recall JB saying in the past that the reason he's never been a fan of the Legion of Super-Heroes is because of how they bullied Superboy in their first appearance in comics. That bullying is discussed by a YouTuber in her video about that comic book story:

SUPERBOY Meets The Legion of Super-Bullies!

Learned here that the Legion was created by Otto Binder. For decades I thought it was Edmund Hamilton.

So the author of my favorite sci-fi novel is let off the hook!

THIS also makes interesting viewing—tho it is, of course, frustrating to see later appearances of Malice treated as a whole with mine. Mine was intended as a one-off.

Yeah, Sasha makes great video essays ('vessays'?). I haven't watched this one yet but plan to.

She's done a few on JB's stuff over the years. Always insightful.
