* Bouncing Boy of the ''LegionOfSuperHeroes'' is far too absurd a character for modern audiences (except in [[Series/LegionOfSuperHeroes the cartoon]]). He did, however, return following the Zero Hour reboot as the Legion's unpowered janitor/mechanic. This didn't stop the writers throwing in references to his previous identity including skill at pool (specifically shown to be due to knowing how the balls will ricochet; at one point, he fights off a villain by bouncing pool balls off the walls at them), a fondness for the soft drink Gingold (the main ingredient of which, in concentrated form, gave Elongated Man his powers; and BB's origin involved drinking an experimental formula thinking it was soda), and finally his role as pilot of a self-designed, spherical spaceship, which travelled in a series of short hops and was called ''The Bouncing Boy''.
