And some suggest continuity obsessions among fanboyish types are on their way out! {wicked grin}
I'll belie that myself by posting again, in passing, why Shikari is NOT Dawnstar: Differences in planets, wings, attitudes, reasoning abilities, learning abilities, vocabulary range, libido, origins, societal dynamics, scope of invulnerability, hyperspace use, and essential Legion-use powers. That's just the SHORT list.
(Heroism and fortitude are not among their differences. And I'll be the first one disappointed if Shikari is retconned / rebooted / re-launched out of the picture.)
We all make exceptions ... Dawny's my sister, after all.

Sparkonly had the Light Lass abilities for a few issues and now her lightning power is stronger than Garth's.
Brainiac 5's forcefield is an internal power now.
Umbra is edgier than Shadow Lass ever was, and I don't remember preboot Tasmia ever fighting like Umbra has! Add her amped up darkfield to the list too.
M'Onel's lead serum doesn't counteract the effect of red sunlight, unlike in the Adventure run.
Dirk Morgna, as far as I know, has never exhibited womanizing tendencies.
The Legion Academy was closed down after only a short period of time, although there are Legion cadets now on Legion World. Also, this Legion never used flight belts. Both the stargate and the [/b]threshold[/b] are also new inventions. And time travel was never outlawed in the preboot, was it?
Andromeda wasn't a xenophobe, and certainly wasn't a nun, preboot.
Rond Vidar doesn't have honorary or reserve Legionnaire status now, and no relationship to Universo has been confirmed.
Doctor Regulus is currently deceased as of now.
Mano is motivated by vengeance now, not greed. At least, he was in the early reboot...

Chameleon wasn't from the high priest's bloodline before, and Leviathan is now from Mars and Karate Kid from the "Omega Colony", whereas both were from Earth preboot.
Braal and Titan being at war is exclusively reboot, while the Braal-Imsk war is a preboot thing.
The Dark Circle member planets are different this time around, Sklar was never destroyed preboot and the Brain Globes are now a G'ildishpan/G'ildan subspecies.

Proty is now Lori Morning's pet, not Cham's.
Evolvo is now in the Workforce, and not with the Heroes of Lallor.
Dreamer is the first precognitive Naltorian in seven generations, according to one of her first reboot appearances, but pretty much all Naltorians had some degree of precognitive ability preboot.

Actually, I believe that she was intended to be the reboot Life Lass. Note that even the few glimpses we have seen postboot of the Lallorian heroes, Life Lass has never been seen.
quote:Originally posted by Bicycle Repair Man: Shikari (unless you consider her the reboot version of Dawnstar, which DnA have stated was not their intention)
They lie. She is the postboot Dawnstar. DnA just said that becasue they knew Grey would hunt them down and kill them
quote:Originally posted by Bicycle Repair Man: [Violet has both shrinking and growing powers.
I'd call that a development, not a reboot change. Vi was initially rebooted esentially the same.

I would say Inferno is the reboot Beauty Blaze

But they are both fircely independent winged creatures from nomadic cultures that can survive in a vacuum and have tracking powers over intersteller distances.
If Shikari is not the reboot Dawny, I would say that she certainly precludes Dawny ever appearing in this particular reality.

"fiercely independent": Shikari is tied to those of her species far more than Dawnstar was to others of her (sub)species. That the events of "Lost" and afterwards took her away from her people, until others came to run the transport system, helped drive Shikari's character dynamics -- as much as we saw of them, anyway.
"winged creatures": Yes, they both have wings. The differences in physiology and design are considerable, though. Dawnstar could manipulate air, but didn't rely upon doing so. Shikari couldn't do so at all. Dawnstar couldn't hide her wings, Shikari can.
"from nomadic cultures": Starhaven was not a nomadic culture. Dawny's forebears migrated to a new home, and some had the abilities to make money through interstellar navigation, but that doesn't make them "nomads." (Many American Indian cultures were not nomadic. We don't know which ones produced the Starhavenites, and that was a weakness -- a lack of detail -- that hurt Dawny as a character.)
"that can survive in a vacuum": Shikari needs an exoskeleton-at-will to do this. Dawnstar did not.
"tracking powers": Dawny had tracking powers, finding again what was known about already -- and not pathfinding powers, to find what was as yet not known about. Shikari, the reverse. Subtle but distinct abilities.
"over interstellar distances": True for both, but only Dawnstar could traverse those interstellar distances under her own (hyperspatial warp) abilities. Shikari had to rely on others' creations and help, whether with space vehicles or Threshold gates.
{ If Shikari is not the reboot Dawny, I would say that she certainly precludes Dawny ever appearing in this particular reality. }
From being on the Legion team? Perhaps. (Well, until Waid and Kitson dissolve the "team.") From being in this particular reality? Not at all. Unless every race or subspecies depicted is supposed to be represented in the Legion, and we haven't seen that yet in any storylines.
