Lots of Dragon Age. Lots of ASOIAF and/or Game of Thrones. Lots of Star Trek, both TOS and Abramsverse. Lots of politics. And lots of cats.

There are a lot of words on this page, but I’m focusing mostly on the fact that Brainy is insisting that Lyle (Invisible Kid) is the only one who is smart enough to be trusted. And the fact that the art here is lovely, again.
And after poking around on wikipedia I found out a few really interesting things about him; “Following the Zero Hour Legion reboot, Lyle Norg was still alive and serving with the Legion. As well as a brilliant chemist, he was also a professional spy at a very young age. He invented the invisibility serum while in Earthgov Intelligence’s spy school. Rather than his scientific aptitude resulting in his getting on well with Brainiac 5, they had more of a rivalry going on. While Querl was more intelligent, Lyle had more imagination, being quicker to see unexpected applications for discoveries.”
AAAAAAND
“According to The Definitive Guide to The Characters of the DC Universe (2004), he was in a homosexual relationship with Condo Arlik. This, however, was never confirmed in the comic book itself and a follow up creative team never went through with this storyline.”
:(
(Brainy and Lyle were in a homosexual relationship but they weren’t allowed to confirm it)
The evidence is pretty compelling for them.
But it’s still sad we never got to see IN COMICS Lyle’s relationship with Condo. But the writers did what they could for him, in particular Legionnaires Issue #59
This entire issue was a fun domestic buffer issue where everyone went on dates. We did not get to see Lyle’s actual date or who he went with, only that he did, and it was an established relationship.
It really hits you that Invisible Kid was a character they wanted to make gay, but couldn’t, so that part of him had to be invisible. But we got small hints all through the series that he’s not interested in girls.
