Chameleon Man, Sun Man and Color King were among those who were absent on mission[s]." Although Invisible Kid (or whatever name he may go by now) is not mentioned by name, we know that he was not visited by Superman or shown as deceased and so, like Sun Man and the others, he could very well have been "among those" who were away on missions. NOTE: It is entirely possible that Lyle was not shown as an adult member because DC Comics didn't know what to call him; "Invisible Man" would have harkened to the villainous character from H. G. Wells's novel by the same name. Appeared In: Not applicable For information concerning Invisible Kid's super-hero career, click here. Star Boy

There is no indication that Supergirl remained a member of the Legion or that she ever continued a career as Superwoman. Outside of imaginary tales or dream sequences, the Silver Age lore has never shown the actual future of Supergirl. Based on Linda's constant desires to lead a normal life, however, the events shown in the imaginary tale of "The Amazing Story of Superman-Red and Superman-Blue" (Superman No. 162) could shed some light on her future whereabouts. In that tale, the two Superman recreated the planet Krypton, calling it New Krypton, and enlarged the city of Kandor on it. Supergirl expressed her long-held desire to live on a Krypton-like world and went to live there, thus giving up her career as Earth's super-heroine. Though she had lost her powers, Supergirl remained an honorary Legionnaire. In real continuity, we know from an editor's note in Adventure Comics No. 356 that the planet Rokyn was "settled in the 20th century by survivors of Krypton, when the bottle-city of Kandor was enlarged" and so it is possible Supergirl joined them there as she did in the imaginary story.
