And post zero hour the legion still was inspired by superman legends, Later in johns Action Comics even have a Superman And The Legion Of Super-Heroes story arc
I persoanlly think the legion not only related to Superboy, But rather is related to Superboy: Kal-el.
Also the dialogue makes me feel a bit uncomfortable
No, it isn't. After Zero hour Valor was the inspiration of Legion. Threeboot had all heroes being the inspiration. Only in New 52 he was inspiration for Earth 2 Legion (No Legion on Earth prime).
That's 25 years now.
