HA! My mastery of Imskian Modern Dance is better than YOURS, Shrinking Violet! I'm-- I'm tripping! OHHHH!
I'll be CHAMELEON KID when I become a Legionnaire!! Uhhhh!
I know you! You're TARYN LOY-- daughter of Bismoll's most brilliant scientist!
And YOU, Matter-Eater Lad, are Mister USELESS! My father found a way to divert the energy we consume to my MUSCLES-- I'm as strong as THREE MEN! Three TOUGH ones, too-- not skinny wimps like YOU! **Punch!!** And-- I was afraid I'd hurt HER!
I've PROVED you've no right to represent BISMOLL in the Legion! You should be replaced by CALORIE QUEEN!

My my! Such impolite visitors! I'm afraid you all have to leave! Let me take you to the door!
Get LOST, Super-Buttinski!
If you're all still game, we'll settle this TOMORROW MORNING right HERE!
You BET we will!
But I was only trying to HELP!
Mind your own business and quit trying to be such a panel-hog! This story isn't ABOUT you, Super-chump, despite your prominent placement on the cover! Your comic would have been cancelled if we hadn't taken it over-- so BUTT OUT.

And thus, morning comes, as it so often does...
The Six Legionnaires face-off against the 6 Super-Rejects!
You COWARD! Come and FIGHT me!
*gulp!* That's just what I'm doing! *chomp!* I'm using my HEAD, sweetie, and my POWER! To eat this flagpole, causing it to crash on top of you! Now I'll tie you up in the flag, and count on your girlish female emotions getting the best of you and making you forget to use your super-strength to escape!
SHRIeeeeeeK! My female emotions-- can't think straight-- HELP ME!
In a minute! I'm going to magnetically hurl this monument at Cosmic Boy!
Guess again, short-pants! Little did you suspect the monument is ME-- Chameleon Boy! *punch!* OoooOOH!

Meanwhile, Saturn Girl directs Tenzil to the disguised Chameleon Kid. The hapless Durlan surrenders when Tenzil threatens to EAT him! I think I would have CALLED his bluff, myself.
So anyhoo, the rejects get a nice, thorough preaching-to about how teamwork makes even the weaker guy and useless girl Legionnaires better than THEY are.
And then--
You've been chosen to run for senate, Matter-Eater Lad!
Long as I'm leaving, think about giving Calorie Queen another chance! She's quite a gal, you know. When her girlish female emotions aren't making her act all womanly.
That's the mark of greatness-- to FORGIVE and HELP your opponent! But you can FORGET it, Tenzil. Take her back home with YOU.
I love it, Lash! Now I've got to go out and buy the rest of the Archives just to compare this story to your jeen-yus.

Nice!
I'd like to see the "missing page" where Tenz is whining to Val about being clobbered by a girl and stuff!
This story is in the fine tradition of Legionnaires with useless powers finally doing something heroic right before they leave the team!

And now... the second tale in S/LSH # 212: A DEATH STROKE AT DAWN-- Uncut & uncensored! (Well, actually, Colson, Gunner and Hunk HAVE been cut from the tale, but you'll enjoy it anyway-- trust!)

The scene: SHADOW LASS has just helped NIGHT GIRL defeat 3 thugs who had the drop on her! WHY didn't COSMIC BOY have Lydda's back, you wonder? Wonder NO MORE, gentle reader!
You saved my life!
And YOU saved MINE! How did you get in such a fix? You must have realized how dangerous it was to mix it up with vicious thugs like that if all they had to do was flip a switch to weaken you!

And then Lydda goes into a long flashback recounting her origin. Her story of a scientist father who experimented on her is amazingly similar to the origin Calorie Queen gave in the book's lead tale! I guess their own childrenDO come less expensive than lab monkeys, so it makes perfect sense.
So anyhoo, Lydda moves on to earlier that day...
And today, even Rokk rejected me!
We're THROUGH Lydda!
ROKK! Please...!
I've another night off-- have we a date? NO! YOU'RE going on a mission! And I'M too much of a lazy bastard to offer to come with you!
I have a JOB to do-- and you should respect that!
Who could respect you in that Mike Grell outfit? You look like a stupid frelling WHORE. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find someone new to have sex with!
