LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES IN THE 31st CENTURY #7 (12/07)
"No Boys Allowed"
ROLL CALL: Bouncing Boy, Lightning Lad, Phantom Girl, Saturn Girl, Superman, Triplicate Girl

BITS OF LEGIONNAIRE BUSINESS: In the 31st century, the Amazons have settled on New Themyscira, formerly Jupiter's moon Io. They did a great job of terraforming.

Circe turns the boys into pigs: an echo of how she treated Odysseus' crew in The Odyssey.

In Superman #165 (11/1963), and adult Saturn Girl masqueraded as Circe. In ancient Greece, the real Circe turned a centaur bowman named Biron into Comet the Super-Horse, member of the Legion of Super-Pets. In the Giffbaum Legion, the director of the Earthgov police was named Circe, but whether she was supposed to be the same as the ancient Circe was never clear.
