A list of ideas I came up with for like, alternate reality Legionnaire pin-ups, like they had in Legion of Super-Heroes #100, and I'd like some feedback and suggestions, please.
Princess Phoenix: Projectra as the Phoenix Force's host. This would be her Threeboot incarnation, given the new spin that Jim Shooter gave on her powers, giving her the ability to tap into the backbrain, or id, of individuals, and gaining new strength and senses from the leftover ids of all those who died on Orando. Imagine it, a spoiled, vengeance-minded princess, now the avatar for the personification of psychic energy. Why stop at destroying the United Planets and the Legion, when she can destroy the universe. And why should she stop at that as well?
Thom the Barbarian: Star Boy as barbarian hero with Dream Girl as concubine. A dungeons & dragons spin on Thom's Pre-Crisis, older counterpart, wearing a loincloth matching his star field outfit, and a sword that can cut through gravity, while also reeling from the memories of the first person he killed in self defense. Although someone suggested against the idea of Nura as a concubine, and Thom being a meak, mild-mannered barabarian. I think that works.
Ally the Werewolf Hunter: Lightning Lass as Buffy-style werewolf hunter with TW as her 'Angel'. Ally watched her older sibling and twin brother murdered by a pack of werewolves when she was little, and ever since she's been a delinquent. Years later she learns that she is the "Anointed", to wipe out werewolves. Shrinking Violet's her Willow, and Brainy's her Giles.
Phantom Girl and her emerald dragon, Jo: Tinya in a white-Shadowcat outfit with Jo as Lockheed, a little dragon with a hoop earring. Inspired from a picture of an alternate Shadowcat who wore a blue version of Tinya's uniform.
Teen Legion: If the Legion started in the 21st Century and the Teen Titans in the 31st.
Morningstar: Dawnstar in colonial America. From the same colonial-era universe I had imagined with versions of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, Dawny would be an aid, partner, or sidekick towards this world's Wonder Woman. She gained her wings and powers when she was blessed by the native Gods her tribe worshiped, before the white man tried to wipe them out for being "sinners".
Live Wires: Legion as punk grunge rock band.
Lydda, Mistress of the Dark: Lydda in an Elvira role, the host of a horror comic. Delivering jokes and narrating stories alongside Konk, the floating head living inside her crystal ball. I mean, Lydda's already got the hair for it.
Mirror, Mirror Monstress: Monstress is "normal" and everyone else looks like the Hulk. This can also be used for a Legionnaire power-switch issue, with Monstress gaining someone else's power and they getting the Hulk treatment in return.
The Invisible Kid: Lyle as one of those direct-to-video kid's movies from the 1990s as a boy who turns invisible. You know, he tries to make it for the science fair, tests it on himself, then decides to mess around, not realizing he can't change back yet. Of course it involves the girl, or boy, he's got a crush on, helping his parents fix their marriage, screwing around with the local bully, and messing up some thugs, yadda yadda yadda...
Lover's Lane: Jo and Tinya as the lovers in the infamous "Hook" urban legend. This doesn't have to necessarily be an alternate reality, just a dream, or nightmare, or it really could happen.
Sumo Timber Wolf: Kinda self-explanatory, though 3Boot style Brin would work best. Same wild hair, clawed hands, toeless boots, and somewhat psychotic disposition. Only, y'know, fat, now with a bulky physique to go with his strength and to add an unexpected bonus to his agility, turning him into a three-hundred pound, rampaging berserker with the acrobatic skills of Batman. Also kind of my way of evening things out after what I did to Jo in the try-out fics.
Nightmare on Naltor Avenue: Dream Girl against Freddy Krueger. Something of a crossover, actually, with Krueger attempting to infiltrate Nura's mind, making it the first time he's ever invaded someone's mind with the power to see the future. What kind of effect could it have on tomorrow?
Lightning Siblings: Garth as 1940s style Indiana Jones explorer and Ayla as "good girl" secret agent, inspired from a JLA story written by Grant Morrison, the two go up against their albino older brother, an agent for the Axis, and his girlfriend, an esper who gained psychic abilities from alien tissue implants.
Emerald Dragon: Ultra Boy as a 1930s pulp comics hero, who frequently fights a femme fatale named the Spider. He dates socialite Tina Wallace, not knowing she's also a hero, the Apparition.
The Alchemist: Inspired from the Elseworlds JSA: The Liberty Files, where in the 1940s the heroes work for the government under names such as "The Bat", "The Clock", "The Tornado", "The Star". This one is Jan.
The Gardner: Chlorophyll Kid under Liberty Files heading, I wanted the name to still sound dumb since he's a Sub.
The Shadow: Yes. Shadow Lass.
The Esper: Esper Lass. I wanted to throw a villain in there.
School Spirit: Featuring Rainbow Girl as a student in a secluded, haunted boarding school.
Ferro Lass: Female Ferro Lad from the gender-reversed earth.
The White Witch: She's indeed white, from a Nazi-variation of the Legion called the Axis of Super-Heroes, from the world of Earth-10. Inspired by today's recent issue of Justice Society of America.
Super Wolf: Based on one of the alternate Supermen from Final Crisis. Kal-El if he'd been raised by the Londos, an amalgamtion of Timber Wolf and Superman, with Marella Tao as his Lois Lane.
Dr. Doxenstein: Brainy as Dr. Frankenstein, Lyle as his hunchbacked servant, Jo is the Monster, and an amalgamation of Nura, Andromeda, and Kara as Elizabeth.

Lodestone Lass: Lodestone, from the Doom Patrol, as a member of the Legion.
The Incredible Burning Man: Inspired from a 1960s movie "The Incredible Melting Man", Dirk Morgna is an astornaut who, exposed to some weird, space radiation, is now slowly burning alive.
Violet and the Beanstalk: Violet is Jack, well, Jaclyn, and Colossal Boy is the Giant. Ayla can play the role of the Harp, and Gates is the Golden Goose, Insect, Bug, whatever.
Unfinished Aria: Based on an idea for an Elseworlds, Brin's feral side is the Phantom of the Opera, Aria Campbell, a.k.a. Gemini, is Christine, and Brin's more human side is Raoul.
Legion of the Bat: Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, and Lightning Lad are inspired by Batman instead of Superman.
The Blok: Blok is cast as the Golem from the infamous 1920s silent film.
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Legion of Street-Fighters: They have a member called Karate Kid, for God's sake this crossover/re-imagining is PERFECT. Val is Ryu, and Brin is Ken.

Awesome. I'd go with Duo Damsel as Mary Ann over Vi though.

Well, I originally posted it in a forum for the cartoon, and Brainy plus Vi equals BIG in those forums.

(Edited for punctuation and sentence structure. I don't know why I bother but well, it bothers me sometimes.) sigh
This stuff is like reading someone's stream of consiousness! Besides a lot of rueful smiles, you inspired some actual smiles and a couple of outright laughs!
1. The Projectra you want to use is the wrong one. To begin with, the Phoenix Force is chaos and the instrument of the creation of life. A humanoid form may not be able to control/contain it and it may get careless about details, like the Asparagas People, but it's not really a force for death of everything, like Darkseid. PPPrime is way too negative, I think. Shooter made her with no redeeming qualities, imo. Phoenix has to have those or she's not interesting because she's too primal/big. So, I'd go with the Naga. Sensor is a good being who's been ripped from herself and then twisted into something she dispises, her world lost to her even before her universe was destroyed. Cham is really all she's got. That could be a powerful dynamic, I think.
2. Nura as Throm's concubine doesn't work for me either. If you're going to do something so 'Edgar Rice Burroughs', go all the way and make her his queen and ruler, imo.
The rest of my comments are in a random order:
3. Quislet the Snowman is my favorite and made me !
4. The Blok - Terry Pratchett has a golem character, perhaps 2, one of whom is controlled by the major city Mayorsort. The other, I think it's not the same one but I'm not sure, is an officer in the city police/guard.
His golems are major scary. They don't rest, they don't eat, they don't need air, they don't have emotions (sort of, this IS Terry Pratchett, after all.) Worse then Lore on Star Trek, because of their motivation and absolute coldness. That could be a very powerful story, too.
5. Legion of the Bat - this has been talked about before and I love the idea. The possiblities are endless. 'The Blok' could fit in there, either as a hero or a villian, or it could change back and forth.
6.Legion Club - this could be so funny, that's why I'd use the Subs instead, or maybe the Lallorians.
7. Lover's Lane - how does a psycho kill or even terrorize someone who's invulnerable or non-touchable? I don't know.
8. Lydda, Mistress of the Dark - very interesting idea! I like it. Maybe she could do it as a side job or hobbie!
9. Phantom Girl and her dragon Jo - that's a great idea but I'd want to see a Tinya and Jo who were totally unique, not look-a-likes of any ONE duo. There are so many to work with, so many to combine to come up with something all of your own.
Well, those are my favorites or what stood out to me most!

*Mrs. Bouncefire: Bouncing Boy in disguise as a British nanny. *Creep County: An idea for a horror comic with the founders as the hosts. Imra's the Fortune Teller, Garth's the Farmer, Rokk's the Miner. *Legion of Amazon Heroes: All female Legionnaires, all with an amazon makeover. *Legion Force: A mixture of Legion and X-Force. I know, it scares me too. *Legion of Super Mario Brothers: Rokk's Mario, Pol's Luigi. *My Wife the Mind Reader: 1950s sitcom with Imra as a telepathic housewife. *Two Thousand Super Maniacs: The Legion of Super-Villains recast as the gruesome, inbred inhabitants of Pleasant Valley from the cult 1960s horror film "Two Thousand Maniacs". *Legion of Stained Glass: The Legionnaires in stained glass window portraits, like the ones in churches. Not the KH ones. *Legion Con: The Legionnaires attending a comic con, much to the shock of most of the DC writers and artists. *King Chameleon: Cham is King Kong. *Legion of Kirbies: One Kirby for each Legionnaire. *Invisible Violet: Another combined Legionnaire, Vi with Jacques. *Catscomputo: April with Danielle. *Plaid Witch: Mysa with failed applicant Plaid Lad. *Ultra Blok: Blok and Jo. *Matter-Eater Phantom: Tenzil and Tinya. *Triplicate Sun: Lu and Dirk. *XS Bomb: Jenni and failed applicant X-Bomb Betty. *Sensor Command: Jeckie and Command Kid. *Eyeful Esper: Esper and Eyeful Ethel.

There was an 'Image Legion' thread in BITS some time ago. It was kind of fun to think about, in a head-hurty way.
quote: *Legion of Stained Glass: The Legionnaires in stained glass window portraits, like the ones in churches. Not the KH ones.
I love this idea. Heck, I've always wanted to get one of those cheapy 'make your own' kits where you back them up in the oven and play aroudn with making some stained-glass-style art.
Posted by Candle on :
The stained glass idea reminded me that I once had an idea for an Andromeda's Book of Hours. They were big in the middle ages and were illuminated manuscripts set like a daily or monthly calendar and devotional. This was when Laurel became the nun.
Each page was devoted to a Legionnaire, starting with Valor, her hero and kindred.
They would have a picture on one side and an illuminated manuscript/story/personal info on the other. The picture would show the Legionnaire doing something in daily life - for a superheroe, of course.
Love the stained glass idea.

Sensoress of Earth-1950
Originally conceived as a mermaid version of Sensor, she is rather the result of toxic waste in a swamp. She began life as an ordinary snake until the water she had been inhabiting became contaminated with nuclear run-off from a lab. The snake mutated and began developing a human like appearance as it grew in size to that of an ordinary teenage girl. Shocked and disgusted at it’s new limbs and appearance, the snake attempted to live as it did before but could not adapt. Hiding in the swamps as human scientists began studying the effects of the waste on the natural flora and fauna she started to speak the English language the more she listened to them. However, she started becoming more agitated as she slowly became more human, growing hair and no longer shedding her skin.
Imagine an ordinary snake slowly mutating and growing, it’s top half developing into that of a teenage girl. It begins to grow two rows of teeth, and sickly pink-purple hair atop it’s head. It moves awkwardly with its new arms as it isn’t really sure how to use them, and confused to the breasts it is now developing. It also isn’t use to the increase in weight and height and finds moving on its belly much harder than before. It’s also much more hungrier than before, and confused at the words it is able to pronounce.

White Witch of Earth-10
Mika is Russian-German considered to have a “racial handicap” as her birth father was a leftover of the Communist Russians who had assimilated too perfectly into the utopia run by Overman. Considered a cripple by just about everyone, she ran away one day and was taken in by a coven of witches who specialized in Teutonic magic based on runes and Norse mythology. After years of practice she went back to her sister and family, becoming a thorn in the side of the Third Reich by becoming a sometimes ally for Uncle Sam and His Freedom Fighters. But she doesn’t say if she is truly repulsed by what the Nazis have done to the world or simply wants revenge for how she was treated as a child.
Her appearance is solely based on Lady Mysa but with the 3Boot White Witch’s outfit. She wears a red choker around her neck with a jewel bearing the clockwise Buddhist swastika, the opposite of the Nazis swastika. Her outfit also consists of a black corset and a white dress. She evokes an image of a silent film femme fatale rather than an actual witch, but she still bears the tattoo mark on her cheek. Maybe she would carry around a cigarette with one of those long holders ala Cruella de Vil. She’s not evil but carries a sense of pessimism and annoyed arrogance aimed at the world. This belies an honestly genuine want to change the world.

Super Lass of Earth-11
To put it simply, a gender-reversed Conner Kent from the Earth home to Batwoman and Superwoman.
Lynda “Lyn” Kent, or Lyn-El, is a clone created from the DNA of Laurel Kent, Superwoman, and Alexandra “Lex” Luthor. Originally calling herself “Supergrrrl” during the turbulent 90s run by Carly Kesel and Thomasina Grummett, Super Lass spent some time in Hawaii, where she dated reporter Tony Moon, before he was killed by Armand “Mondo” Spence, the son of Dr. Paula Westfield, the scientist who was originally believed to be Super Lass’ original. She started Young Justice with Bonnie Allen, Impulse, and Tina Drake, Robin. Once her life was handed over by author Jess Johns, Lynda’s look was overhauled and she adopted a black tank-top bearing the “S” shield and blue jeans. Originally sporting short hair ,Lynda let it grow, but then cut it off when her mind was taken over by Lex and she almost killed the Teen Titans and her boyfriend Casey Sandsmark, Wonder Boy.
Super Lass’ tank-top resembles both Wonder Girl’s look and the top that Supergirl wore during the 70s.

Lightning Flash of Earth-37
Inspired from the combinations of Teen Titans with Justice Leaguers, this is a combination of the Earth-Prime Lightning Lad and the Golden Age Flash. Garth Garrick? Or Jay Ranzz? The reasoning behind this is that the Earth-Prime Legion began as a youth movement, and some of their members have demonstrated an appreciation for ancient Earth culture.
His costume is based on a similar design from when Jay Garrick was de-aged during the Sins of Youth crossover. Sporting a red tank-top, the lightning bolt design is actually from Garth's regular outfit, with two lightning bolts near the shoulders. He still has the Mercury helmet.
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Some others that I haven't typed the proper summarization for yet.
Bouncing Butterball: A DC/Marvel combo of Bouncing Boy and Butterball from Avengers: The Initiative.
Centaur Gazelle
Fullmetal Element Lad: Jan dressed up like Ed Elric.
Lightning Labrador: From the Just'a Lotta Animals Earth. A labrador version of Lightning Lad.
Lightningstrike: A DC/Marvel combo of Lightning Lad and Thunderstrike.
Lightning Wing: What if, through some odd way, Lightning Lad had been stranded in the past and became Batman's partner?
Super Blok
Super Saturn Girl: A combo of Saturn Girl and Supergirl. Part of a bunch of combos of people who would count as last survivors of their world.
Super Element Lad
Telekinetic Girl: Remember that issue of Legionnaires where some of them were put in a false 1940s? What if Zoe was one of them?
Vision Girl: A DC/Marvel combo of Sensor Girl and Vision.
...
Legion Shogun
A variant of the 3Boot Timeline, in the future the Legionnaires embody certain forms of Japanese combat, mainly samurai, ninja, and sumo, but since they are a rebelling youth group they don't adhere to the set hair styles and clothing, this keeping their regular hairstyles and adopting outfits which bear their symbols.
Cosmic Boy - Samurai: Rokk's ability is magnetism control, so wouldn't he be best suited in a role that involves swordsmanship? He could be seen as the leader, the one everyone looks to. Imagine the scenario in the 3boot used on this Rokk, but he returns a few seconds later, only three years older, war-torn and grizzled, and a much better swordsman. He might even have a kid with him.
Saturn Girl - Ninja: Her powers are mental in nature. She can shield her thoughts and read people's minds. Imra's demonstrated she's a powerful foe when it comes to her abilities, such as the time when Universo attempted to take over Earth by using mass hypnotism. Who would be better suited as a ninja, a role that requires stealth and mental prowess, then a telepath?
Lightning Lad - Sumo: His powers are pretty much destructive in nature, the power to generate electricity. There's no stealth there, so Garth would be better suited for a, well, larger role, as a sumo. And, he is a farm boy. They do tend to have large body types that mix muscle and fat. It'd also cause a bit of oddness in his romance with Saturn Girl as it magnifies the "opposites attract" thing. A ninja and a sumo.

the V.I.R.U.S. (remember V.I.P. the one starring Pamela Anderson?) - with Infectious Lass as Spy leader, with Rainbow Girl and Night Girl. All Sub females fatales!
Gim and the Giant Peach: heh...yeah a movie with a Giant Peach (Gim sounds like James -- kind of. heh)

Londo's Run - Timber Wolf on the run with Marello Tao

Reading your idea of Tinya is Mary Ann gives me an idea for a Halloween piece.
"Jo: Tinya I thought we were doing a Grease themed thing!
Tinya: That was before I got stuck changing all of Cub's diapers when he had Rimborian Magenta Fever. So Brainy's the professor, and I'm Mary Ann."
But, which IK would be the Cousin? Lyle or Jacques? Because Jacques wouldn't look good with a bowl cut, at least, in my opinion.
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Someone on DeviantArt suggested that in my alternate Earth of samurai, ninja, and sumo Legionnaires, Element Lad would be better as a shaolin monk then a buddhist monk. And he's right. Of course, why not both?
How about if Jan started off as one when the Legionnaires came to his world to recruit him, non-violent and highly spiritual, at peace with nature, and fat. Not gross, obese, blob fat, but fat. With a buddha belly tattooed with alchemical symbols and no desire to fight. He initially rejects their offer for membership as he doesn't wish to use his powers, the lost of the Trommites, for violence.
The Legionnaires leave, and some time later Jan gets attacked by a psycho Roxxas with the intent of killing the last of Trom, Jan is barely able to hold him off. He's able to use his transmutation abilities for excellent defense, and he isn't necessarily hindered because of his weight but because he doesn't know how to fight. The defenses aren't enough to stop the calculating, genocidal maniac as he just. Keeps. Coming. But, in terms of a deus ex machina, the Legionnaires return after hearing that Roxxas was going to Trom.
Jan decides to take them up on their offer when he realizes there are more people like Roxxas out there, and agrees to rigorous training to learn how to defend himself and others, and to sharpen his body to match his mind. When the training is over, he's in amazing shape. Ripped. Not sculpted and bulging with muscles and abs, as if he were on steroids, but still no longer fat and not resembling anything close to a sumo. He's thick, built like a rock. But not lacking in his gentle demeanor, and maybe a couple of more tattoos on his shoulders.

Imagine going from a cold blooded creature to a warm blooded one. Think of the idea of complex thoughts developing and the mammalian hormones of a teenager coursing through her body.
I thought that Sensor's change into a Naga worked because Sensor already had complex thought and speech. Her breasts weren't topped with nipples so they were more form than function and she remained cold blooded.
There was magic in the mixture, too.
I tend to think that a science based Sensor that developed on her own in a swamp would go insane and either kill herself or die from the incompatable changes happening within her.
One way to mitigate the problems might be if she were helped by a mentor. I'm thinking of Swamp Thing's daugther, Tefe(?) or perhaps, Devil Fish. If it were Devil Fish, she'd be a lot less humanoid in her actions, imo.
I could see Lamprey and Cham stumbling upon her during a training exercise, too. Between them, Jeckie could be shocked back to life and Cham could change to help her stablize, emotionally, mentally and physically.
Mysa could then be brought in to use morphing magics to bring the transformtion into a finished place, with Cham continuing to change as a reflection of Jeckie. Drura might be brought in with Brainy, to help, too, depending on how the radiation worked to bring about the changes.
If she were crazy enough and hurting enough, she might attract an Eye, who might finish a change it's way and have a unique host, too.
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Well I kind of imagined this Sensoress as from an Earth where heroes and villains are amalgamated with movie monsters, like that one pin-up that was in Legion of Super-Heroes 100.
You're right though, I don't think she'd have nipples, the boobs would be more form.
Hmm, the idea of a mentor for how she's changing, that's a very good idea for a story in mainsteam comics.
Kill herself? Maybe, if or when her thoughts started becoming more complex to the point of human sentience, when she finally stops becoming an animal in her mind.
Thank you for the input Candle. I really hope it didn't sound like I was shooting you down.

The breast idea just comes from the reboot Sensor's looks after she changed. Yours could certainly change to a totally mammalian lymbic system and produce milk for her young if you want. She's your creation, after all.

I want to start giving more thought to Sensoress, actually, in case Ian Dorian is going to be at a con in a couple of months.
Do you like the changes I made to Monk Element Lad?
