quote:WAID SEZ: That said, the three founders have been, are, and will be playing a role. “They’re vastly important,” Waid said of Saturn Girl, Lighting Lad, and Cosmic Boy. “Indescribably important. But that doesn’t mean you’ll be seeing them. After that, we’re still pinning down the membership, so even we’re not 100% certain. Okay, okay--Brainiac 5.”
Yes, we have twenty-plus members on the team
OK, I'm not sure what to make of the "doesn't mean you'll be seeing them" other than that they are members, but we won't see each member every issue.
Still, if we pick say, 25 characters, which ones would you like to see in Waids new version?
01. Apparition 02. Triad 03. Invisible Kid 04. Chameleon 05. XS 06. Spark 07. Violet 08. Kinetix 09. Star Boy 10. Gates 11. Ultra Boy 12. M'Onel 13. Umbra 14. Sensor 15. Ferro 16. Karate Kid 17. Kid Quantum II 18. Wildfire 19. Shikari 20. Dreamer 21. Timber Wolf
Pretty much the current, active cast...minus Superboy and Gear (and Gear simply because there wasn't enough room). As little change as possible, please.

Not to be a nitpick...but there may only be 1 confirmed member so far:

This statement sounds to me like the 3 founders are important to the team and subsequently the stories, but not necessarily active members of the team.

others? My picks... (using classic names since that is what Waid used for the above)
5. DAWNSTAR (just to make Grey happy) 6. TYROC (just to make me happy) 7. PHANTOM GIRL 8. TRIPLICATE GIRL 9. COLOSSAL BOY 10. INVISIBLE KID 11. CHAMELEON BOY 12. SUN BOY 13. BOUNCING BOY 14. SHRINKING VIOLET 15. ULTRA BOY 16. DREAM GIRL 17. STAR BOY 18. XS 19. GATES 20. KINETIX 21. WILDFIRE 22. KARATE KID 23. PRINCESS PROJECTRA 24. NEMESIS KID 25. SHADOW LASS
This is what proper fans do they hope and they care for their heroes of course we think that Garth,Rokk and Imra will be active members

My caring and hopes for the characters has nothing to do with their membership status in the team. They can accomplish just as much outside the LSH as they can within. The flight ring does not make the lad (or lass) who he (or she) is.

5. Element Lad (Jan) 6. Invisible Kid (Lyle) 7. Sun Boy (Dirk, possibly with a new name) 8. Umbra 9. Dreamer 10. XS 11. Shrinking Violet 12. Chameleon 13. Star Boy 14. Triad 15. Ferro 16. Gates 17. Timber Wolf 18. Spark (who uses her light lass powers again) 19. Gear 20. Wonder Girl (a Titan now travels to the 31st century on a rotating basis-- for a while). If not, Andromeda.
Ultra Boy and Apparition depart to concentrate on Cub... Dev-em named to replace them.
Zoe and Shikari depart to find the best use for Zoe's remaining hypertaxic energy (they'll be back...)... Dawnstar is their replacement.
Karate Kid retires from the field, but stays around as team trainer. He chooses Projectra as his replacement (and for other things...).
M'onel decides to wander for awhile, brings in Tellus.
Sensor leaves for 'integration therapy', followed by a stay on Orando. She sponsors Chlorophyll Kid.

We know: Cosmic Boy Saturn Girl Live Wire Brainiac 5 (hope they keep the force field bonded to him)
My list: 4. M'Onel (most important figure in history + 31st Century Superman = wow.) 5. Gates (one of my favorites) 6. Chameleon (as important as Brainy to have in any incarnation) 7. Spark 8. Element Lad (I'll be mad at Waid if he doesn't bring Jan back, since there's nothing more drastic than a reboot anyway) 9. Kinetix (A great character, it'd be a shame if she didn't stay... especially to leave her the way DnA have! 10. Apparition 11. Ultra Boy (even though his powers are redundant) 12. Invisible Kid 13. Supergirl/Kara-Zor El 14. XS 15. Umbra/Shady 16. Timber Wolf (keep the new look) 17. Triad (What can I say, I'm sentimental. Definately not vital to the type of team DnA were building, streamlined and full of powerhouses. But vital to mine.) 18. Violet (keep her with both powers, keep Gim dead) 19. Karate Kid (He can beat Daxamites) Kid Quantum II (one of the things I liked about DnA's run) 20. Dreamer (and either kill Thom or send him to the 21st Century) 21. Superboy/Kal-El (Waid could if he wanted to! I'd accept Kon-El too. 22. Sensor ( think the powers are more interesting than the character, although keep the royal origin) 23. Shikari/Dawnstar (I just think her powers are important to the team) 24. Dirk Morgna (he's better than flame-casters... he's radioactive!) 25. Matter-Eater Lad (you know you want it!)
Honorable Mention: Ferro (I like him, but his powers are kind of weak, and the continuity change might be messy with his 20th Century origins) Gear (kind of interesting) Thunder (I think it's somewhat cool to have a Captain Marvel family character in the LSH) Wildfire (actually, I don't like him at all, I'm just mentioning him because I know it's a somewhat glaring oversight not to mention him. Am I the only one who doesn't like this character at all? The only cool thing about him is that Antimatter is cool.)
What do you think? Are my favorite characters safe? Do Gates, Kinetix, XS, and KQII have a chance?
Just to get the fanboys all tripped-out, I'd open the series with an arc concentrating on these 25 Legionnaires:
1. Calamity King 2. Infectious Lass 3. Matter-Eater Lad 4. Calorie Queen 5. Insect Queen 6. Chemical King 7. Tyroc 8. Princess Projectra 9. Dawnstar 10. Satan Girl (Andromeda) 11. Sun Boy 12. Quantum Queen 13. Dragonmage 14. White Witch 15. Catspaw 16. Quake Kid 17. Nemesis Kid 18. Absorbancy Boy 19. Spider Girl 20. Crystal Kid 21. Night Girl 22. Polar Boy 23. Stone Boy 24. Kent Shakespeare 25. Comet Queen
This would be a 3-issue arc or so, just long enough to geteveryone in a tizzy; the last few pages of the storyline would reveal that the Legion as a "movement" has grown to HUNDREDS of members and the LAST page of the arc would be a splash shot of the return of the "regular" Legionnaires from some mission.

I like Lash's idea, but I honestly have no idea how anyone will fit all those characters into a regular series. But it's a great dream...
My picks: 1) Live Wire 2) Cosmic Boy 3) Saturn Girl 4) Brainiac 5
5) Kinetix (back to human form!!!) 6) Chameleon 7) Violet (both shrinking and growingh powers) 8) Invisible Kid 9) XS 10) Triad 11) Umbra 12) Kid Quantum II (I actually like her powers) 13) Gates 14) Wildfire 15) Apparition 16) Ultra Boy 17) Sensor 18) Chuck Taine (w/ bouncing powers) 19) Dreamer 20) Star Boy (full gravity powers) 21) Shikari 22) Spark 23) Karate Kid 24) M'Onel 25) Timber Wolf
As close to the current line up as possible, since I'm in love with this incarnation of the Legion.
Honorable mentions: Ferro Dawnstar Gear Andromeda Sun Boy White Witch Element Lad (if they can pull a resurrection off) Polar Boy Spider Girl Night Girl Nightwind Crystal Kid Infectious Lass Dragonmage

I could do it, IB! It IS possible, using the old "Levitz-style" of writing!
My next arc would feature the "regular" Legionnaires heavily and subsequent storylines would blend all of the characters while slowly introducing even MORE Legionnaires!
Of course, I pity the artist who would have to draw this series... poor guy/gal!

Drawing from various eras, and in no particular order:
01 Blok 02 Bounce (Chuck can absorb or generate kinetic energy, enabling him to stop a speeding bullet or bounce off walls) 03 Brainiac 5 04 Chameleon 05 White Witch 06 Cosmic Boy 07 Supergirl (Kara) 08 Dreamer 09 Triad 10 Alchemist 11 Tellus 12 Invisible Kid 13 Karate Kid 14 Live Wire 15 Gossamer 16 M'Onel 17 Apparition 18 Polar Boy 19 Projectra 20 Saturn Girl 21 Shadow Lass 22 Violet 23 Star Boy 24 Inferno (Dirk Morgna) 25 Ultra Boy

Saturn Girl (the iron butt) Cosmic Boy (the early-reboot leader) Lightning Lad (ala Adventure Era) Element Lad (the thoughtful Adventure Era one) Shrinking Violet (as she is now) Sun Boy (the take-charge early Adventure Era one) Colossal Boy (pre-boot version) Wildfire (the hothead) Invisible Kid (current version) Brainiac 5 (current version is fine)(And why does he get included automatically and no one else?) Shikari Triad or Triplicate Girl Timberwolf (the early Levitz version) Sensor Girl (not Sensor, Sensor Girl) Mon-el (any version where he’s not gone half the time)
That’s really all I need. Fill in the final five with whoever you want.
