My Notes
  Timber Wolf is not one of my favorite characters, not sure why that is. As a kid I was confused by his sudden change in appearnce from normal looking to a more animalistic, wolf like face. Writer Paul Levitz would later change his face back to normal using 30th century plastic surgery. I can not recall any standout story with the character either, but as I am re-reading my seventies and eighties Legion books I might come across one and will update this post.

Next Time Superboy 198
