I really need to get to the LCS; haven't been since Legion #1 (I dont wanna think about how much the stack is gonna cost after a few months away). But I've been wondering about how Bendis would handle Valor. It seems that Clark didn't put him in the Zone, but it's Lar; you've gotta have that "S" connection. So making him a descendant of House El seems as viable as anything else.
There's a few things to consider though, and maybe there's answers in issue 2 or 3 that I haven't read. But how detailed is the Legion's historical data? They obviously know enough to show up on Unity Day at the right time and place (give or take 30 minutes), but is it possible they know Lar is related to the El's in some way but don't know whether it's through Conner, Clark, or Kara?
What if Lar isn't an El at all? Bendis has been known to throw real wild stuff out there on occasion so what if Lar is actually a Luthor, or a Wayne....or even a Bizarro? A thousand years can change a whole lot after all. And everyone is assuming Lar is related to the Supers in some way so it'd be quite a twist if he turned out to be Damian's descendant. Triplicate Girl could've meant to finish that sentence with "....your best friend's descendant."
Dont mind me, I'm just spitballing here without even having read the last two issues.
