Yeah! Thanks EDE. I don't remember ever seeing his "real name" except in the stories where Jacque Foccart was President of Earth and Troy was Vice Prez. That was COOL!!

Yes, the cartoon has really been a dream come true. There's not even one episode I haven't loved, so I'm sure the creators of the cartoon will think of something brilliant if/when they decide to bring Troy Stewart back.
Thank you for the welcome, Yellow Kid. Actually, I registered about a year ago and posted a little, but didn't really have the time to actually participate in this incredible forum till now.
While Sun Boy's, Element Lad's and Tyroc's powers would be perfect for the visual medium, -Tyroc could even become more popular than ever - I wonder how Dream Girl would be handled. I think if Nura were featured in an episode it'd be a really strange, wonderful, science-fiction-y one.

Tyroc was my vote, although my first two choices would be to see a little more of the already introduced Legionnaires. We've only gotten a small taste of M-E Lad, Star Boy, and Ultra Boy. Let's see a little more of them this season, as well as Cosmic Boy and Ferro Lad and Colossal Boy, then see Dream Girl and Wildfire and Element Lad and the others 'til now just shown on the monitors introduced in the second and third seasons.

I'm glad you got your vote in, L.A.D. I like Blok, too.
Here are the final results of the poll, in order of placement (#of votes in parenthesis):
Element Lad 30% (11) Dream Girl 27% (10) Sun Boy 14% (5) Shrinking Violet 14% (5) Tyroc 14% (5) Blok 3% (1)
This is only a guess, but I wonder if the fact that Blok's powers are pretty straightforward (big, strong, unmoveable guy) could account for his lower number of votes? Perhaps there's some curiosity about how the other listed Legionnaire's powers will be depicted in animation.
Maybe his 'communicates with sentient silicon-based life' ability will come in handy... or maybe the animated creators will expand on that facet of Blok.
Have the names Dream Girl and Shrinking Violet been voiced on air yet? I know they've both had cameos, but I don't recall their heroic names being uttered. I know E-Lad, Sun Boy, Tyroc and Blok have actually been said.
Thanks for voting, everyone!
Any suggestions for another cartoon forum poll?

By the way I voted and posted in this thread you'd think I was a major Tyroc fan but in reality I cared very little for him in the book (all those years ago). I'm extremely excited about the cartoon and want to hear what they all sound like. I'd LOVE to hear Blok's voice and see what they have planned to do with the his "lesser power".
I just can't believe that I'm looking forward to Troy Stewart's appearance...but I am!

I voted for Tyroc but that's because I LOVE him in all his elf boots and chains glory! And I agree with others that the animated medium is the perfect place to see him shine.
Blok would've been my second choice as he's a big fave of mine too. I can't wait to see a few more alien looking Legionnaires like him and most especially Gates!
