This Is Exactly What It Was Like For the Menendez Brothers

Her parents are awfully supportive for what is quite possibly the dumbest idea Lana has had this week. Besides, isn't Lana already Insect Queen? And a reserve member of the Legion? How many superheroes can one meddling redhead be?
You just gave me an idea for a new super-group, the Legion of Lana Heroes: several irritating young women, each one taking on one of Lana's super-identities. Kinda like "Slingers." (Remember them?)
Annoyingly, the adolescent fanboy in me is actually excited by a concept that can basically be described as 'Slingers meets Smallvile'. For some reason, years ago, I thought an entire team of Spider-Men was a really awesome idea (four times the angst, and in different flavours!).
So, let's see... we have Insect Queen, Gravity Girl, Super-Lana (from Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane no. 21)... Maybe an unpowered Lana could be the leader, like a bobby-socks version of Mina Murray from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And one of them (Insect Queen?) could actually be a guy in drag, just to mix things up a bit, and to court the gay dollar. A Bizarro-Lana could always be trying to join the team by telling everybody how stupid and ugly them is, and how she hates them, which the other Lanas won't recognize as the Bizarro equivalent of shameless brown-nosing. Every issue could end with Bizarro-Lana crying because they won't let her join, saying how she am so happy that she want to live, and all the other Lanas laughing at her, thus preserving the unrelenting tradition of jerkiness established by the original Legion.
Wow, I'm giving this way too much thought.
Needless to say, it's a comic I would read. Entire series have been built on so much less.
And one of them (Insect Queen?) could actually be a guy in drag,
Jimmy Olsen, obviously.
Actually, I assumed there would be The Legion of Jimmy Olsens, who would be The Legion of Lana-Heroes arch-rivals. Having said that, I like the way you think; keep thinking outside the box!
So to speak.
I'd suggest the two of you get started writing that puppy immediately if it weren't for those darn copyright laws! Maybe "fanfic"--?
Jimmy Olsen as Insect (Drag) Queen!
