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.
Jeepers! How many times to we have to go through this!
Kinetix was clearly intended as a postboot Cera Kesh! Not Quislet! Not Life Lass!
Did Life Lass have a connection to the Emerald Eye? No! Was Life Lass telekinetic? No! She "animated" objects, presumably by transfering part of her own lifeforce to them. Similarly, Quislet "possessed" objects; it wasn't telekinetc.
Sheesh!

Actually, it was Atom'X not Radion.
Yeah, I suspected I'd gotten them mixed up; thanks.

Particon wasn't from Xanthu, but was a member of the Workforce.
That wasn't a mistake; that parenthetical aside was meant to refer to both groups mentioned in the preceding phrase.

Nope, Pol Krinn and Dirk Morgna exist in the postboot continuity, which makes Magno and Inferno new characters.

I'd call that a development, not a reboot change. Vi was initially rebooted esentially the same.
You have a point. I was referring to the current status quo for Violet (and Live Wire, and {insert next nitpick here } ... )

Well if Pol and Dirk aren't heroes these guys take their places

Well, the "wink" was meant to indicate that I don't take this particular hypothesis too seriously, and I don't expect anyone else to, either. It's just that I still recall the stunned amazement I felt when I finally noticed the simiarities between Zoe and Quislet, not to mention the embarassment that it had taken so bloody long (over a year) for me to connect the two.
Now, if you want to hear about a pet postboot-Legion theory of mine that I do take seriously: I still think R.J. Brande could be Adam "Captain Comet" Blake, now only 99,000 years ahead of his time ...

There's a post-boot Rond?The pre-boot was the son of Universo and a Green Lantern not able to join the Legion for two reasons 1)He was banned from the United Planets,2)The Legion didn't allow anyone with a device to join

Just a thought to add in reference to character differences: Ferro Lad wasn't around long enough pre-boot to establish much other than his typical Legion heroism, but when he appeared in the "Mordruverse" he was still as brave as possible. The SW6 Ferro was a daredevil terrified of being seen without his mask. The current Ferro, aside from being a 20th century emigrant, sewed a lot, messed up a lot and hung out with Vi instead of the guys. He also addressed the idea of getting his face fixed, something never talked about pre-boot. And now it seems he's comfortable without the mask, but is stuck in iron form. There also seems a difference in his "hideously disfigured face": SW6 Andy seemed to need the mask to hold it together, like it wasn't solid. Post boot was just asymmetrical and unlike human norm IIRC. Just a thought cuz I'd like to see him show up in the new version, as long as he doesn't design their costumes. And I'm still a big advocate for a romance with him and Val.

How could make light of such an important issue!
Seriously, I think most "x" is a reboot "y" debates are pretty silly, myself. I'm not even clear what it's supposed to mean. Just because a character is introduced in the current version of the Legion that has a somewhat similar power to someone who existed in a previous version, how does that the new character a new "version" of the old? There's no more connection between Shikari and Dawnstar or between Kinetix, Life Lass, and Quislet or whoever than there was between Invisible Kids I and II in the preboot (and less, in fact, since Lyle and Jacques at least shared a name).
