1. Name unrevealed, but “Sandy Anderson” was given as her name in the first timeslip story (Legion of Super-Heroes v4 #92) and all the characters’ names were close to their real ones, so that will be used until a better name is supplied.

Analysis Notes
General Only 5:2-5 are dealt with here.
5:3 This scene presumably appears only shortly after the Legion left the 20th century, as Inferno has not discarded items from her belt pouches, nor has she apparently acquired any clothing aside from her costume.  (Makes one wonder how a homeless superhero gets by, although Inferno presumably still sleeps in the mall and probably steals food there at night.)
5:4 It is questionable how much English Inferno is even able to read.  She is hardly the type to have made an effort to study ancient, non-Interlac alphabets.
5:5 Inferno’s attitude here is definitely in keeping with that displayed in her other appearances.
