quote:Originally posted by Exnihil: Rocky, a quick (and possibly silly) question:
For the categories: "Legion World locations" and "Legion World institutions"... what is the difference?
Are "institutions," to your mind, physical buildings while "locations" are just general geographic areas? Or are "institutions" those entities that have governmental hierarchies, like the Office of Security and the Rookery, while "locations" would include both geographic area and businesses, such as Cafe Cramer and SHAKES?
(PS... if this message falls on the bottom of the page, could you quote it so it carries over to the next?)
I'd thought about that.
The Office of Security isn't so much a physical office as it is an entity. When I was classifying it "locations" didn't seem quite right.
I think perhaps having "Legion World institutions" as a subcategory of "Legion World locations" might make things easier to understand. I'll take care of that right now.

I figured they were yours. It's all right. I'll get Old Dutch the Super-Cow after you next time!

So I put together a history of the LMB Leadership as a page today. I wasn't sure how to put in a link to the list of leaders (if there was a place that would be more appropriate from a format perspective).
I plan to add a few more things to the entry. Probably including some redirects (such as 'LMB Leader' and 'LMB Deputy Leader').

Cobie, I added a link above your intro paragraph, just following the precedent set on Wikipedia for similar articles like "President of the United States".
I like what you did with the latter part of the timeline (it makes way more sense that some of the more recent storylines couldn't have all happened in a single year so the extention of leadership terms is a natural fit).
One quick note though about years 8-9: Although the "Thyme Crime" began during Faraway's admininistration, it definitely ended during Lardy's. One of the key plot points was that Lardy leading the team was necessary for Phineas's defeat, as he was the only member that had been imbued with enough chronal energy (during his time on Marzal).

Cobie, a quick question. One of the links in the YK article I'm writing refers to an evil robot son of yours called "Uranustron 5". Is that the same character you have listed as "Robot-99" or did you have more than one robot son?

Regarding Thyme Crime, I added in a sentence to show it was still ongoing when Lardy was elected.
As for your question, Robot-99 = Uranustron 5. What keeps happening is I keep forgetting what I call the evil robot and give it a new name. So, er, pick which one you like better and you're welcome to change it.
Rocky, I was going to put up a write-up for the Legion of Former Deputies, but since you were the creator, I thought you might prefer the honor!

No, no... have Silver Age letter cols taught us nothing?

Clearly, "Uranustron" is merely an honorific, bestowed by the criminal community upon only the most evil of time-altered cyborgs. Robot-99 is only the fifth of his kind to recieve such an honor - Ed

So I've decided that Question Lad's homeworld is in Sector 1417 (same as Korugar). That makes me wonder, what Sector is Legionworld in?

So I've thought about this on and off, and I think Legion World is in Sector 2815. This makes it in relatively close proximity to Earth, and the Graxos system has a humorous (if sometimes dark) side to it that fits in with Legion World. Alot of Legion Worlds are unmapped; but we don't know much about Sectors 2816-2825 so alot of the United Planets could be there.
What do you think?

Its canon that Legion World is far away from Earth (see wiki on Earth and Great Migrations). But if your assigning a sector number to it, you probably have a lot of leeway.
Abin Quank is the GL of the LMB verse and I think we've established he's the only one. So there is no Corps, just Abin (much like Kyle Raynor was the only one). The Corps was destroyed centuries ago.
