Its a nice shot of the team .

Well you got zoomers out there thinking everyone older is a boomer.

Sadly, my feeling is that is mostly it for them. That, or they're just there to be saved by the "real" heroes, the League, making their big comeback.

I don't think Williamson will use them that way. It seems like Alan is taking the lead in an upcoming issue.

To be fair, some of the second generation legacies like Jade or Jessie Quick should logically be baby boomers

You mean they should be in their late 50s or older? Mid-1940s (post WWII) to +/- mid-1960s is when people thought of as "baby boomers" were generally born.

Considering the characters were introduced in the early eighties when they would have had birth years in the early sixties, there is some backing for the idea. If the JSA is locked into pre-WW2 birthdates, the idea that Infinity would be locked into a time as well. Of course, who knows what DC is going to do with the relative ages (if anything)?

Yeah, seems to be the case with how Williams has been handling the event so far.

True for Jade. But not Jesse, she was introduced in the 90s and thus would have had a 1970s birthday originally.

Infinity Inc's origin is broken and needs fixing though, as yes, that generation as well as Jesse Quick, are now too young to be the children of the All-Star Squadron. It was already a stretch when Jesse debuted around 30 years ago.

Instead of NEW JL, looks like they may put Superman's Son and Damian and Yara with the JSA instead.

This is based on . . . what?

Just a wild guess (though you make it sound like a possible FACT), or is there actually a legitimate source for this thinking?

From reading Dark Crisis.

I wish DC would just Captain America them and have that be canon - They go into some kind of limbo in 1951 (maybe Ragnarok, maybe with some of their wives, whatever), come back "20 years ago" (sliding further and further into the future as time marches on) and decide to retire, settle down and have kids, then reemerge later on in life as a team because of some Crisis that motivates them to get back together. That way the Infinitors / Legacies stay young (twenties) and the JSA stays both grounded to WWII and older (late 50s ish) but not unnaturally old.

Too early to tell. But to me, Superman is TOO powerful to have 2 of them in one Universe.

[Digifiend]

But Jon's the sixth one with that powerset, not the second. Don't forget about Conner, Kara Danvers, Karen, and Kenan. Heck, because of Karen, Jon would be quite redundant on the JSA.
