From email we received from Dan'l Danehy-Oakes on 16 March 2006:
I notice that your Big List only mentions one member of the "Legion of Super-Heroes." Several others have pretty clear religious leanings of one sort or another...
Lightning Lad (Garth Ranzz; a/k/a Live Wire) and his sister, Lightning Lass (Ayla Ranzz; a/k/a Light Lass and Gossamer) practice the nature religion of their native world, Winath, though not devoutly.
