LYLE BRAINY GO GO GO
Hello! Can you talk about the relationship between Querl and Lyle. I haven’t read the legion series yet but I saw a comic panel of Querl kissing Lyle on the cheek! WHAT IS GOING ON! :)
:) :) :) Querl thought bae was gonna die and was glad he din't
The Legion #27
Please meet the Post-Zero Hour Legion of Super-Heroes that stars a huge cast, including canonly gay (confirmed by writers) Lyle Norg and canonly queer Querl Dox.
Their first meetings began in 1994 where they at first had a bit of a rivalry (but both had deep respect for the other, it was never hostile) going on because they are both geniuses with some overlap in interests. Querl is Brainiac 5 with difficulty expressing his emotions and Lyle is a genius biochemist who is deeply repressed and also has difficulty showing his real self.
It took time but in the final issues of their run they find close "friendship" with each other that the writers (Abnett and Lanning) intended to be romantic but were told 'no' because it was the early 2000s.
Regardless, they got away with showing what they did.
The Legion #26
If you have the spoons I highly recommend reading the PZH run, it is long, over 200 issues including the closing series, but it is so worth it.
Bonus bc I did NOT plan to have this many

Summary:
"A makeshift drive, a makeshift lab, and a makeshift hope that he had to somehow pull from deep within himself and believe at least partially that a solution would be attainable. Until then, he parodied himself as the 12th level intellectual genius that always had a solution and an answer.
Except… He had no answers.
He had no solutions.
He had nothing to provide except the guise of hope."
Garth approaches Querl with a favor and discovers some things about his Coluan teammate he never expected, and Querl comes to terms about the feelings he has towards Lyle, a person he is certain he is never going to see again.
