Bless the shameless hussies!
Y'know, I'm liking Imra more and more.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Unless you are talking about the paternal aunt Imra was named after. She was a hussy! You should have seen her at the wedding hanging all over the best man!
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
She just can't win, can she?
If she's not a shameless hussy, she's the resident ice queen. poor kid.

KP's just torked 'cause Imra's hussiness ain't doing him no good.
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Well, Lightning Lad, all I can say to that is, do you realize that all through the year you were lost, she was pshcyically cheating on you by impersonating Tinya and having a sexual relationship with Ultra Boy? Just because it was psychic sex doesn't make it any less real... I'm sorry, but someone has got to wake up and smell the ozone here!
And now that she's back in our galaxy, she and Jo are continuing the deception by not telling Tinya what went on in the Kwai galaxy! Sure sounds like the acts of a shameless hussy to me!
Of course, love is blind...
= SHAMELESS HUSSY
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
It's not helping me out, either. Maybe I should get torked off too.
Posted by Tromium Crystal on :
To make matters worse she's now having dream sex with Garth. Why can't Imra just have real sex for a change? What the hell is wrong with her?
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
OK, we'll compromise: She's an Ice Hussy.

Not just sex but IMAGINARY SPACE-SEX!
Me? I like my hussies good and shameless.... those shy, demure hussies are a buzzkill...
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Lately, she's more of a homeless slushie - I'm starting to feel sorry for her.
Didn't you ever do something that, in hindsight, was in poor judgement, then you try to fix it and you make things worse? Then some cosmic villain kidnaps you and imprisons you in a mind control chair? That happens to me all the time. So I guess I understand Imra, to some extent.

I'm not going to say for sure, but I would just like for you to consider that it MIGHT be because she's a shameless hussy!

Is there a male counterpart to "Shameless Hussy" - can't think of one, maybe Lothario, but that's become a bit obscure. Even "Don Juan" and "Tom Cat" have a certain flair to them, offsetting the moral condemnation.

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?

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.... Posted by Kid Prime on :

Posted by Faraway Lad on :
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. Posted by Fat Cramer on :
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.

[Fat Cramer] {[...] As for the men, Rokk's black camisole certainly qualifies as shameless but what choice did he have? }
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!
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
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.
Posted by Omni Craig on :
Imra is not a shameless hussy!
And I'm not sucking up to TPTB on this board either. Garth has always been my favorite Legionnaire for three reasons: 1. Lightning is a really cool power! 2. Things don't always go his way 3. Hot blonde wife in pink bikini and disco boots. I'm sorry... <PC>His beatiful, capable, intelligent wife!</PC>
She is a strong female character, who is sometimes poorly written by men who are either afraid of a strong capable woman, or don't understand them. There's a reason most female comic book characters, heroes or villains are in bathing suits, and it ain't always their choice of fashion people. Think "geeky artist who can't get a date" (my apologies to the geeky artists who can get dates).
As someone else said earlier, she went from Ice Maiden to Shameless Hussy. There's no in between?
That was always my biggest frustration with the Lois and Clark TV series, and why I couldn't watch it even when I tried. They couldn't portray Lois as a capable woman with intelligence and beauty. She was fluctuating between helpless victim and headstrong idiot. And a woman produced the show for crying out loud!! But I digress...
Anyway, lay off on the Imra bashing. She's had a rough year. Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Amen!

if so, then there's three possibilities:
1. puritanism. we as a society still feel the need to put down women who fit this definition.
2. obsolescence. even though no longer taboo, the word lingers on, just as lime is no longer used in stage 'limelighting.'
3. connotation. Feces and s--t may have the same definition, for instance, but carry different impacts. The definition may be accurate, but the use doesn't. You don't use s--t in a scientific paper, and you don't use the word feces in the 'hood.
In any case, we have to look at the double-standard:
How would we judge a guy doing similar things?

If he had a steady girl who was loyal to him and loved him without question, I'd call him a shameless hussy, too. For example, Rokk was a shameless hussy that night he dated Sinde. Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :

Check out how popular Imra was in the early days, and how Uncle Mort blatantly tried to destroy her character!

Posted by He Who Wanders on :
What issue is this from, Eryk? What dastardly deed is Mort talking about?
Posted by Kid Quislet on :
That was the infamous "bad brownie" issue where Irma was baking while guarding the HQ, as the boys were off on a mission too dangerous for a girl, and she accidentally added salt instead of sugar to the brownie batter because she was too busy scheming of a way to impersonate Supergirl and secretly steal her mer-man boyfriend Jerro, just to make Garth jealous and piss Kara off. Not one of the Legion's best moments, but it had a breakout scene for Element Lad when he later changes the salt in the brownies to a sweeter derivative of hashish. Was it Adventure #314B?
