Star Boy has been around since 1961. :-) Originally he had all of Superboy

and race swaps. Apparently he's been insane since the 2006 version which is
well after I stopped reading the Legion.

 
Hmm, don't recall ever having heard of him. If he was just in Legion
books then that might explain it.

Wiki talks of storylines where he visited the 20th century, but, yeah, I

I just didn't have the money to buy more than a rare comic book when I
was young enough to really want to read them. Then as I got older I
was more into reading science fiction books. So the only comics I've
read in decades were those that JMS joined in on.

Jessica Cruz has only been around for 10 years, long after I stopped

Good reason to remember the character.

Again, good reason to remember. Cosplay being one of the few reasons I
would ever want to attend one of the conventions. (Not a fan of so
many people crowded into one place.)
