Bechdel Test: Legion Secret Origins

Sorry, I was hoping to have a more regular posting schedule but I've had a lot going on personally, including the death of my mother.  

I didn't want to skip this limited series which came out right around volume 7.  It was pretty unforgettable except for the gorgeous Chris Batista art.  It was six total issues, all written by Paul Levitz.  So how did it turn out?  

That's correct.  Not one issue of this series passed the Bechdel test.

My notes:

This series had very few female characters.  The precog whom I'm not sure had a name, Saturn Girl, Triplicate Girl and Phantom Girl.  What would have changed it is actually: just making one of the other characters than the Naltorian was working with a female.  There wasn't really a reason Levitz couldn't have made another of the characters female.  But the lack of female characters meant it was be more difficult to have two females have a conversation for the Bechdel test. 

Triplicate Girl barely had any dialog.  There is a conversation between her and Phantom Girl in issue 5 and what do they talk about?  Ultra Boy.  And Superman.   Any incidental characters were also male.  

Not much more to say here.  If we are keeping track of Levitz as a writer, he has 10 passes out of 30 issues, making him overall at 30%.  Volume 6 will be next.
