With or without whips?
I mean with whips sure. Without whips? Naw, they're just HUSSYS!!!!
I mean really, why did they need her to go to the 20th century to meet up with the teenaged (TEENAGED!) Superboy? It was so she could shake her moneymakers and seduce him. Can you not read into the obvious?
(Wonder what the Wonder Womwn board would make of this thread)?
Hmmmm idea for threads ala "Whose line is it Anyway."
Discuss Legion in the style of the Wonder Women/GL/Marvel board.

She's definitely strong -- she was able to manipulate an unconscious Rokk into pretending to be her boyfriend against his will and strong enough to create a false Tinya from her mind that Jo could bed every night. She's not a shamless hussy ... not at all....

Your solidarity in defense of sisterhood is admirable FC, but can't you see this shameless hussy is dragging the rest of you down??

All this anti Imra feeling is a little surprising. She is after all the reason the legion was formed. If Garth and Rokk hadn’t been lusting after her on that rocket ship, they would never have started talking. If they hadn’t been together whilst leaving the ship, and close to the sexy blond, then they would not have been able to save RJ.
Imra is not responsible for the reactions of others. To quote Jessica Rabbit, she’s not bad, she’s just drawn that way.
I always saw Imra as the unobtainable beauty. She was the one all the boys fancied but because she was seen as a bit stand offish, (and if you could read the minds of 16 year old boys would you want to spend any time with them?) the boys, typically, turned her into the problem rather than themselves. She became the ice queen, the tease and in a more modern parlance, a hussy.
Irma is none of these. She is single minded, assertive, and knows what she wants and is prepared to go for it. In the work place women who act like this (in fact who act like men) are often called various unflattering names as some form of male self preservation reaction. Just look at the names Maggie Thatcher was called! When a similar, male, politician may have been just as unpopular but his policies, not his masculinity, would have been challenged.
So enough with the shameless hussy talk already. If you want to have a go at someone, what about that teenage (and for a long time single) mother Apparition. Not only is she promoting underage sex and pregnancy but she has on a number of occasions placed her child in danger. Where are social services when you need them.

In Tinya's case, it pays to have connections. No social services call for her!
I don't hold teenage pregnancy against her, after all - she is taking care of the little blighter now and she never left him alone. Timber Wolf allowed him to stray into danger, but you know how you turn your back for an instant and *poof* the kid is gone.
You want a shameless hussy, I think Glorith would qualify. No shame at all and very tacky lingerie. I actually can't think of another female in the Legionverse who has so much shamelessness and hussiness in her. The other bad girls were fairly shameless in their approach to law-breaking; the new Emerald Empress is just sort of psycho, the old one tried to seduce Superboy - but it was pretty amateur stuff on the hussy scale. They just don't cut the s.h. mustard.
As for the men, Rokk's black camisole certainly qualifies as shameless but what choice did he have? As was said, he was drawn that way.
Look at Sun Boy - a shameless hunk if there ever was one and yet how do they remember him in the 5YL story? "Good old Dirk - he sure enjoyed a party!"

I realize this thread is tongue in cheek (sort of), but this is simply not accurate. Tinya was married when she became pregnant. Her husband supposedly died, leaving her with no choice but to give birth to Cub alone and face the prospect of raising him likewise. That's not the same thing as as "promoting underage sex and pregnancy." (It's not even certain if she's still a teenager at this point.)
As for placing Cub in danger, have I forgotten something? I don't remember this, apart from Cub's misadventures aboard the footstep drive ship. Tinya, of course, was unaware of his special abilities at that time.
Re: Saturn Girl. Imra made some bad choices as leader (her prolonged impersonation of Tinya being one of them), but I don't think this necessarily makes her a shameless hussy. It just means she used poor judgment.

What? "No choice"?? "Shameless"??? It's a highly functional design, as well as good-looking. (You do need to keep up the ab crunches, I'll admit.) And it doesn't have to come in black, either ...
Try calling Dawnstar a "shameless hussy," and our brother (have you met Greatfire?) will unleash some flamin' whoop-ass on YOU!

Well, sure - they look good but who's going to vouch for their behaviour? And I still don't understand what holds the guys' camisoles up - unless it's clear plastic laces.
I don't think anyone would ever call Dawnstar a shameless hussy - except Ina, Jhodan's apprentice on Kol, but you know how kids are.
Huffy maybe, but not a hussy.
