BITS OF LEGIONNAIRE BUSINESS:
In all former Legion continuities, Nemesis Kid was a villain. It's interesting to see him in action as a hero (and a fine job he does, if I may say so.) His powers are slightly different this time around. In the past, Nemesis Kid has the ability to gain whatever powers he needs to defeat any one opponent. (Thus, he was usually defeated pretty handily by Duo Damsel.) Now, he has the power to neutralize his opponent's powers. In this way, he's something like Neutrax.
In this issue, the Legionnaires are ignorant of Nemesis Kid's origin, but speculate that his power might be magic-based. In former continuities, he gained his ability from alchemy.
Mordru's attack is ingenious: he uses his magic to eliminate Interlac, thus turning Earth into a real-life Tower of Babel.
