The Older Legacy referenced in Ghostly Images art and flavour text (assuming the art and flavour text on this card is consistent) is not Greatest Legacy (notice the difference in their costumes).
That tells me two things. One, Older Legacy is older than Greatest Legacy. Two, the Bunker suit has been in development for a really long time, at least 2 generations earlier than Finest Legacy of our time.
I'm guessing it's the first Parsons who took up the mantle of "Legacy." It's stated in Finest Legacy's bio that the first Legacy started out in the early 1900s and Finest was born in the '70s. Maybe he'll be in a Pulp Adventure expansion as a promo?
I'm not sure early 1900s is correct. From the online bio: In appreciation for Joseph’s help on that fateful night, Paul Revere crafted a simple but stout silver ring for Joseph, engraved with the phrase, “Furthering your Father’s Legacy.”
Perhaps you're thinking of this: "… in the early 1900s the first member of the family line developed flight"
I don't think I explained my terminology very well. I was referring to the first costumed Parsons that identified as the superhero Legacy, not the first Parsons to develop powers. My apologies!
I've read a lot of the bios but it seems I missed Legacy. Explains why Joseph named his son Paul and the reason he uses the Lantern as his symbol, knew it had to do with the Revolutionary War, but not exactly how much it meant.
Ohh, a lantern, is that what it's supposed to be? Lol, I'd been wondering for ages, 'cause to me it looked like St. Stephen's Tower but without the clock face, which I knew couldn't've been right because firstly, that'd be weird, and secondly, Legacy (and the game) is America, so why have a London landmark on it, lol.
Yes, there have only been 3 that went by the name "Legacy". Our timeline that we have internally is a publication timeline as if Sentinel Comics have been published for the last 80 or so years, not a real-time if-these-characters-were-real-people timeline. Spider-man would be 64 today if comic characters aged properly.
No. Counting "Young Legacy", there have been four Legacies. Current (America's Finest) Legacy, his daughter (America's Newest), his father (America's Greatest), and his grandfather, who was the first Parsons to take up the Legacy mantle.
I doubt it, because "Oldest" sounds like a retroactive title. He might have called himself "The First" which implies he would train his son to take up the mantle (which the Parsons were probably doing generation to generation anyway), or maybe just Legacy. And if there wasn't a "Greatest Legacy" already I would guess maybe he might have even gone with "The Great Legacy" possibly tying him to the first world war.
