Has Hollywood ever been seen in the PV?

If yes, what do they thinking of the Lair Legion or Super Heroes in general?

Hollywood and celebrities were staples of early parodyverse stories, from award shows to multiple rip-offs being filmed of "Titanic". None of these likely count in what currently passes for continuity these days, however... those were all back in the days when things were much more random and rarely brought up again except as running gags.

In more current continuity, there may have been a few stories or characters here or there, but it does seem like a surprisingly under-utilized aspect of the modern Parodyverse...

Well, there have been various incidents which have catapulted one or more Legionnaires into the gossip columns. Mr. Epitome dating Hallie made the press, as I recall. The Transworld Challenge team was regularly on television for the race, and Visionary had a smear campaign play out against him in the press during the "Heart of Darkness" crossover. In that regard, the Legion is likely easily recognizable as celebrities, although whether their fame more closely resembles that of politicians, sports stars, reality television personalities or movie stars, I couldn't say...

...although someone with a story idea certainly could.


Hope that helps. Others likely have more specific input to add.

What Vizh said. Mr T was a big villain, as I recall.

We've also seen that George Lucas kidnaps people (and Ewoks) from a galaxy long ago and far far away to make movies with (thanks DBS). There was once some talk of an LL movie but that may have been lost somewhere in pre-production. There was an international tour of LL: The Musical. Shep starred as Dancer in it.
