I assume this is Elseworlds because of the adult Thom Kallor who may be from an alternate future, even though it's supposed to be the post-ZH Star Boy? How are you going to categorize the current JSA series - Elseworlds, post-Infinite Crisis, and/or pre-Crisis? -- Omnicom 15:33, 19 January 2007 (PST)

Basically, and this may sound slightly contradictory, my thinking is that:
  1. Only Legion stuff counts. The stuff may be perfectly in-continuity (as these issues are for Jack Knight, or the Adult Legion was to E1-Superman), but they're only here because of their Legion content, so it's by the Legion content they get rated by era.
  2. Anything relating to the future of our characters, from any era, is Elseworlds until/unless the ongoing timeline catches up to it. This is purely on the subjective timeline - these issues may be in the 21st Century past, but they're in Star Boy's future, so they're Elseworlds; whereas stuff in Thunder's 90th Century future is in her personal past & present, so it's not Elseworlds but post-ZH.
On JSofA, I don't want to make the call. I don't know the details, and from the limited amount I DO know there's not much detail yet anyway. My first thought would be that, unless Thom's taken from his End of an Era vanishment, it's an alternate Thom = Elseworlds (and, even then, there's the merge with SW6-Thom to take into account, since he wasn't one of the ones to vanish early), but that's just my first inclination. Need details to be sure. - Reboot (SoM) talk page 16:02, 19 January 2007 (PST)
