CAPTAIN LIGHTBULB: The teams founder and leader, originally created as a throwaway character in "Hot Summer Nights", he proved so popular that he returned in "Doom of the Super-Heroes" with his own team. Basically, his power is to come up with ideas, which causes the giant lightbulb he wears on his head to light up. Plus he has a special device in his speedos which protects him from retcons, reboots, and the like. IIRC, he's also the last survivor of another universe that was destroyed in one of the crises.
KID PRIME: Briefly served with the Light Brigade before joining the LMBP proper. His tenure with the LB corresponds to his tumultuous relationship with Captain Lightbulb. He has the power to bring cartoons to life!
BOY OF 1000 FACES: Powerless, harmless, bumbler Eryk Davis Ester was made a member of the Light Brigade as a result of his super-disguise talents. Unfortunately, the only disguise he could really pull off was Captain Lightbulb. Eryk is also notable in that there seem to be numerous clones/alternate versions of him running around. Recently, by absorbing the various clones into himself he has become a power mad cosmic villain. His exact relationship to Lardlad is unclear...
THE FLASHER: Wear an overcoat and nothing else. Blinds opponents by revealing his stuff.
ANTLER LASS: Most notable for her large rack.
ROBOTWOMAN: Gentile Southern Belle trapped in the body of a mechanical woman!
DORMANT DAMSEL: The heart and soul of the Light Brigade, and though she has been in a coma for as long as anyone can remember, she proves herself one of the most valuable members time and time again. Recently, she met her soulmate Coma Lad, and the two have been dating.
NOBODY: A gay, mini-version of EDE who is invisible and intangible, though he becomes visible and tangible when he needs to poop and stuff. Has apparently been absorbed by EDE.
PORT-A-JOHN: Originally conceived as a sort of Dr. Who-type character with a mystic porta-potty taking the place of the Tardis, he was revealed to actually be a traitor and a spy.

Thanks EDE! Flasher was the one I most interacted with (get your minds out of the gutter, you perverts ~ we we're a team during some of the more crucial moments in Doom of The Super Heores! )

Hmmm... Would have been handy a day ago.
Thanks EDE.

Yuck! Boy of 1000 Faces became a cosmic madman? Pooh to that!!! We'll have to rectify that ASAP!
He had the funniest origin ever. Which story did it appear in? He dressed up like Capt. Lightbulb and everyone was all, "Jeepers! You must have super-disguise ability!" "Let's call him Boy of 1000 Faces!" and Boy of 1K F was flabbergasted at their idiocy...
pure hilarity, I tells ya!

Oh, and I guess Coma Lad officially joined the team prior to my Dormant Damsel/Coma Lad story...??

It never occurred to me before, oddly enough, but I guess the Light Brigade are the LMB's version of the Subs!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Actually Lardy, and I've heard Lash mention this, which is where I get it from, the LB is the LMB's version of the Doom Patrol!
(I'm in b/t bars, so please forgive my lack of posting and responding to PMs...barely able to get these sentences out )
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
for reference, and to update sometime.
And, for the record, the Light Brigade is the Doom Patrol crossed with the Wanderers.

Blackout Brigade Counterpart is Flashend. FLASHEND: Wears a conservative Japanese school uniform and has white hair like most anime villains. He has the ability to manipulate darkness (one of those "Green Lantern powers but black stuff" characters)
