You know me, I always try to put more Legion-related games in Spaceopoly when I can. Inspired by Lance's I'm Thinking of an ANIMAL and Dave's I'm Thinking of an ANNUAL, I bring you "I'm Thinking of a LEGION CHARACTER."
Rules are just like previously. The winning poster thinks of a Legion character from across the team's varied history. Posters then have to ask "yes/no questions" to guess which character is being thought of. Any named character who appears in a Legion book or story from any reality is fair game, I figure. Hero, villain, civilian, alien, one shot... you name it (literally, har har).
I decided against having to specify which reality a character is from (like Kingdom Come Ultra Boy or Postboot Tharok instead of just "Ultra Boy" and "Tharok") simply due to how potentially complex that could be. Plus, everyone's labeling systems are a little different. But hey, if everyone wants we could add that factor. I figure there's enough characters in Legion lore as it is though to easily surpass 200 rounds.
So ... I'm thinking of a Legion character.

Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
The character did appear postboot.
He is male.
He has never,as far as I can recall, ever been depicted as having any super-powers, even on a temporary basis.
He has never been a member of the Legion.
There have been at least two stories that have made him seem possibly villainous, until mysterious circumstances were explained.

Some sort of version of her did appear postboot.
She does not have super-powers as so defined.

I take "postboot" to mean the main version of the Legion published between 1994 (Zero Hour) and 2004.
She is not from Lallor.
If by "color girl" you mean a female version of Color Kid, then no.

Rainbow Girl?
Posted by Future on :
Was this character a member of the UP Academy?

The character is not Rainbow Girl, was not a member of the UP Academy, and did not appear in the Threeboot.
Posted by Set on :
Was the character part of the Workforce?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
As the character didn't appear in the postboot, she was not part of the Workforce.
Time for a summary, perhaps:
This character is not male, a robot, or an eldritch creature from beyond. She did not appear in either the postboot or Threeboot. She uses a codename and is part of a super-team, but has never been either a villain or a Legionnaire, nor was she a part of the Workforce or UP Academy. She is not from Lallor. She is not Quantum Queen, Psyche, Color Girl, or Rainbow Girl.

Posted by Lard Lad on :
(Yeah, plus, she appeared during the Adventure era. Ugh!) Laurel Kent?
Posted by Candlelight on :
sigh I can't find my Darkseid Saga TPB, but is it okay if I just describe her? The Teacher from Sorcerer's World with the green skin and the short black haircut that Shady copied shortly after meeting her?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Not the Teacher from the Sorcerer's World (who I don't think was named), nor Laurel Kent.
Lardy is definitely on the right track, however.
Posted by Candlelight on :
This probably won't help me, but was she drawn by Keith Giffen?
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Man, I'm drawing a blank on other legacy/descendant characters! All I can think of was Oli-3 Queen (or whatever), and that was a dude!
Posted by Future on :
Hmm. Is the character from or has ever visited the 20th/21st century?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
The character was never drawn by Keith Giffen and is not from and has never visited the 20th/21st century. I'll confirm that it is a legacy character, but not a gender-reversed Oli-3 Queen!
Posted by Future on :
Is the character a legacy of the Super-family?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
The character is not a legacy of the super-family.

Oddball question, but to confirm: did the character appear in the Preboot?

The character did not appear in the Preboot.

Teen Lantern it is!

The character was not part of a super-team, but did briefly co-operate with one.
The character has a a racial adaptation/power that apparently all of it's kind has, to one extent or another.
The character would probably be considered a villain by at least one Legionnaire.

The character makes an appearance in the 5YL series, though it's not someone who first appears then.

He was revealed as having been a member of the Legion during the 5YG in the Legion Sourcebook as well as in flashback during the 5YL series.
I think he's since been used as a member of the LSV again in the retroboot.

Kid Psycho died in Crisis, Candy. That was a good guess too; I forgot about him entirely.
ok, I am thinking of a Legion character.

PS looking back, I took the expelled part to cover all of the badguys who've joined.
yeah, I overlooked Echo, too. But between Echo's alt-timeline versions, and the reformed Spider Girl/Wave, not all baddies were infiltrators to be expelled.

This character did not appear in the Adventure era.
I am fairly certain this character DID NOT appear in the Threeboot.
This character has appeared in more than one of those three main continuities.

Her powers are not magical/mystical, nor granted by such.

Is this character... Dawnstar? (Sorry if she was a recent answer, I just joined this game and haven't checked back through the pages yet.)
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Is it Inferno?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
oops! just fixed an error I made in the last batch of answers. No Threeboot appearance. Sorry if I threw anyone off.
Not Dawnstar.
Not Inferno.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
I was thinking there couldn't be very many females who didn't appear in Adventure but appeared in the Threeboot!
Okay, let's try Infectious Lass!
Posted by Blacula on :
Hmmm. Kent's edit of his post makes my Dawnstar guess wrong since she sort of did appear in the Threeboot.
So I will instead guess... Kono?
Posted by Future on :
And I'll guess Nightwind.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Infectious Lass it is!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Okay, then. I'm thinking of a Legion character.
Posted by Future on :
Was this character ever a Legionnaire?
Posted by Reboot on :
Did they appear postboot?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
This character has been a Legionnaire, and they appear postboot.
Posted by Future on :
Did this Legionnaire also appear in the Preboot?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Yep, the character also appears preboot.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Is this character male?
Posted by Set on :
Okay, 'classic' is 'preboot' and sometimes is also 'Adventure era' (but not always). Threeboot is Threeboot. Reboot is Reboot.
What the heck is 'postboot?' Is that the classic continuity being picked up *after* all of the reboots, like what we are reading now?
As for the actual question, does the character appear in the Reboot?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Postboot is the same thing as reboot. It made a lot more sense as a term before the threeboot.
So, yes, the character appears in the reboot. Bonus fact: the character has also appeared since the retroboot.
The character is also male.

Is it Chuck Taine?
Posted by Blacula on :
Has the character ever been in a long-standing romantic relationship with another Legionnaire?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Not Chuck Taine, no longstanding romantic relationship with another Legionnaire.
Just to clarify a couple of things:
1) On the human question: if we are using the "descended from Earth people" criterion, then whether this person is such may depend on the continuity we're talking about, though in at least one version his home planet is confirmed as an Earth colony.
2) I took the "always had inherent superpowers" to be a question of whether they were born with powers or not. I believe every version of this character who has been shown has had powers, though he was not born with them.
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
I was going to say Gim, but he was born with powers in the Threeboot.
Stumped.
Posted by Blacula on :
Is it Kent Shakespeare? (I don't know much about this character so he may well have been born with his powers.)
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Not Kent Shakespeare (who received his powers from some sort of virus or something).
Hint: While this character has been a Legionnaire, it is not someone who would normally be thought of as a Legionnaire.
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
Recap:
The character is a male human, not from Earth who has been a Legionnaire but isn't currently, and isn't usually thought of as one. They appeared in the Preboot, reboot (but was not a memeber there) and retroboot. He has powers but was not born with them, and has never been in a long standing relationship with another Legionnaire. He is currently believed to be alive in the retroboot. He is not Matter Eater Lad, Superman (Kal-El), Rond Vidar, Chuck Taine or Kent Shakespeare.

Is this character older than the average age of most of the Legionnaires (i.e. older than whatever the age of the founders/first dozen or so members is)?

The character's age is never stated, but I assume the answer is "yes".

He does not.

No, not McCauley.

Derek Morgna?
Posted by Blacula on :
Does he play a role in the origin of any heroes or villains?
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
No and No.
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
To Recap:
This is a male character that has never been a Legionnaire, nor a villain. He did appear postboot, including before the Team 20/30 split, but isn't exclusively a postboot character. He can't fly unaided, and does not have powers beyond that of a normal human. He is presumably older than the average Legionnaire, and is not related to any of them (though there may be a quibble there). He does not have white hair, and to my knowledge, does not play a role in the origin of any hero or villain. He's not Leland McCauley or Derek Morgna.

Posted by Reboot on :
Is he caucasian?
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
I don't think he's ever been dead, or considered dead, BUT I am not familiar with all of the events involving him in the 5YG (think of that as a bonus clue).
He is not Caucasian.
Posted by Reboot on :
Does he have a non-caucasian skin colour found in normal humans?
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
No
Posted by Blacula on :
Is he a member of government or some sort of world-leader?
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
No, he is not.

I'm stumped.
Am I going to kick myself when I find out who this character is? Posted by Dave Hackett on :
Probably. Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :

No, he did not.

Was the character created by Paul Levitz?
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
Indeed, he was.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Is he a member of the medical profession?
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
Indeed, he is.

You are correct, sir. Posted by Reboot on :
Okay, it's been three hours, and EDE was online for at least two of those following his rapid-fire narrowing down. Clearly, he knows, so I'll step aside if he DOES want to do it, but at this point it doesn't look like it...
Dr. Gym'll.
Posted by Blacula on :
It's funny how, in this game, your mind provides facts to the character that clearly aren't there from the clues.
For example, for some reason, in this round I had it firmly in my mind that this was a human-looking character, and so have been wracking my mind trying to think of non-powered alien-colored humanoid allies of the Legion. When, if I hadn't had that notion, Dr Gym'll probably would have been an obvious answer all along.
So yes, Dave - I am kicking myself. Posted by Dave Hackett on :
Yes, it's Dr. Gym'll. The relative thing threw me a little as he is Variable Lad's uncle. Variable Lad was never a full-fledged Legionnaire per se, but his statue is in the Hall, so he may have had some posthumous honours bestowed.

Was this character a member of Knight Shift?
Posted by Blacula on :
Is it Inferno? (Debateable whether she was meant to be a reboot version of anyone.)

Double nope!
Summary: Yes postboot, female, Caucasian, has physically fought a Legionnaire, was a member of a team. Never a Legionnaire, nor a rejected LSH applicant, not Earthican, not a DnA character, not a member of Knight Shift, didn't appear preboot. And not Twine, the Empress or Inferno.

You mean #105. #100 was the end of Team 20. Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Yeah, this story: Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
To summarize:
This character is male, humanoid in appearance, with (I'm fairly certain) dark hair and no porn-stache. He has never been a member of the LSH. He is not a villain, a relative of a Legionnaire, or a government/political/religious figure. He wears no headgear of any kind, but there may be an association of the character with headgear.
He has powers beyond those of a normal human. He shares a homeworld with a Legionnaire.
He has never met Magnetic Kid, Tellus, Quislet, Chameleon Girl, Blok, or Dawnstar.
He appears preboot, but not in the Adventure Era, v2 (under any title), v3, v4, or a Legion-related mini-series. He does not appear postboot or in the Legion cartoon. He has appeared in multiple issues, but only one story. He did not die. He is not involved in the origin of a Legionnaire, but reference to the origin of at least one Legionnaire plays a role in the story in which he is featured.

Does this character use a codename?

This character is a Science Police officer and, therefore, uses a 'codename' in a sense while on duty. Simply not a super-heroic codename.

Posted by Future on :
It is Roon Dvron! Your turn, Blacula.

No to Kid Psycho.
Posted by Future on :
Was this character actually a "guise" for another character/Legionnaire?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Is the character associated with a super-team other than the Legion?
Posted by Blacula on :
Future - No Eryk - No(*)
(* Though, also Yes, depending.)
I should mention at this point that I think everyone is under a false assumption about something.
Posted by Future on :
Was this character a member of the Legion of Super-Pets?
Posted by Blacula on :
YES! Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Is it Streaky?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Is it Comet?
Posted by Future on :
Is it Beppo?
Posted by Blacula on :
It is !
Your turn, Future!
Posted by Blacula on :
P.S. Before he popped into my head as a character for this question, I don't think I'd ever spent more than 10 seconds thinking about Beppo.
But now that I've Wikipidea-ed and Comic Databased and Cosmic Teams-ed and just generally learnt everything there is to know about him... I'm kinda obsessed with Beppo the Super-Monkey!
And I suddenly have a craving to read every Beppo story there is. I noticed he pops up in that 1970s World of Krypton series which I've never read, so I'm off to eBay that now.
Posted by Future on :
While I too never think much on Beppo, I did enjoy his random appearances with the other Super-Pets. He's probably one of my favorites if I had to pick.
I'm thinking of a Legion character...
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Is it a male?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Has this character ever been a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes?

The character is female and has never been a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Does she have superhuman abilities?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Has she ever been a villain?
Posted by Future on :
The character has superhuman abilities and has been considered a villain.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Has she ever been a member of the Legion of Super-Villains?
Posted by Future on :
She has not.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Did she appear preboot?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Did she appear postboot?
Posted by Future on :
She did appear preboot!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Kent's question above
+
Did she appear in the animated series?
Posted by Future on :
She did not appear postboot, nor in the animated series. She COULD HAVE though to the latter...
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Did she have an entry in Who's Who in the LSH?
Posted by Future on :
She did!
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Did she first appear prior to Superboy (vol 1) 195?
Posted by Future on :
She did not.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Is it Flare?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Is it Lady Memory?
Posted by Set on :

She appeared in the Preboot but not in the Postboot or animated series. She had an entry in Who's Who in the Legion of Super-Heroes. She is not Beauty Blaze, Caress, Flare, or Lady Memory.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Is it Mentalla?
Posted by Future on :
It was not Mentalla.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Is it Starbright?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Ooh, good call. I'll guess Starlight!
Posted by Future on :
Ding ding ding! I was thinking of Starbright!
She was one of Starfinger's groovy go-to girls. While she didn't appear in the animated series, she certainly could have! Starfinger seemed, at least visually, inspired mostly from the version that Starbright and her partner Starlight worked for.
Your turn, Kent!
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Okay, then!
I am thinking of a Legion character.
Posted by Future on :
Has this character ever been a Legionnaire?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Did this character appear preboot?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
This character has been a legionnaire, and has appeared preboot.
Posted by Set on :
Is this character, in preboot continuity, currently dead?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
This character has never been depicted or described as definitively dead in preboot/current continuity/ies, as far as I'm aware.
That's the best I can say based on a confusing question, and my lack of having read most of the past year of stories.
Posted by Blacula on :
Has this character ever been in a romantic relationship with another Legionnaire?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Is this character male?
Posted by Future on :

The character is not male.
The character is from Earth.
The character has been in a romantic relationship with another Legionnaire.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Is it Insect Queen?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
since there were 2 IQs, pre and postboot, I could make you differentiate... but I won't.
Yes, Insect Queen. Lana specifically. Who technically might be presumed 'currently dead' but hey, it is comics, and for all we know she's in suspended animation somewhere.
go, EDE!

Nope. Not Starfinger I, II, or III (was there a IV? If so, not him either).
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :

Nope, not the Time Trapper.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Pulsar Stargrave?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Nope.
Posted by Blacula on :

Posted by Future on :
Was this character in the postboot?
Posted by Blacula on :
Future - Yes.
Posted by Future on :
Was it Omar Magz?
Posted by Blacula on :
It's not Omar Magz.
Posted by Future on :
Ooh. Wait. Was it Eviseratronic?
Posted by Blacula on :
The one, the only...
EVISCERATRONIC!!!
I wondered if the fact I'd said he had no superpowers might throw people. I wasn't sure what to write there but decided that since his powers most likely all came from the gem, the answer was no, he didn't have any inherent superpowers himself.
Over to you, Future.
Posted by Future on :
I completely missed the villain answer and guessed Omar. Silly me! Of course Evisceratronic would have been the obvious answer.
I did like the follow up on that otherwise 'random, poor Sci Cop' from early in the reboot. I also liked his equally quick dismissal as a super villain.
Thinking of a Legion character!

I was always under the assumption it was yes/no questions, but I also swiped the concept from two other threads so I'm not the definitive expert. I'd say whatever the majority decides works.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
I'd vote for sticking with yes/no.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :

- Never been a Legionnaire - Postboot only character - Not male - Not part of a team - First appeared after the Team20/30 split but before DNA run - Debatable as to whether this character is a villain - No innate powers
Posted by Blacula on :
Just to get the timeline straight - this character didn't first appear before the Team 20/30 split, didn't first appear during the Team 20/30 split, and didn't first appear during the DnA era.
Therefore they must have first appeared in the Gail Simone story?

Wellington was portrayed (IMHO) as an unfortunate victim of the Dominion who obeyed them or would be executed, much as Colossal Boy was forced to join the LSV or his parents would be killed. Ultimately, the Dominion's threats were confirmed when she stepped out of line and they assassinated her. I apologize for any ambiguity.

I think the lesson we can take from all of this is that it's generally best to just assume that all politicians are villains.

Is it Magno Lad?
Posted by Blacula on :
^ Yes it is! Whom I obviously thought had come back in the Reboot as Magno - until I researched him and found out they had different real names.
On the one hand it seems like a missed opportunity on the Reboot writers' part to re-introduce a Preboot character, but on the other hand I guess they just didn't want to stack reader opinion even further against poor Dyrk when he already had the shadow of Rokk hanging over him.
And ultimately, I really liked the heroic journey Dyrk went on, which may never have happened if the writers had just fallen back on Cort's Preboot characterisation if it had been him in the role.
Anyway, over to you EDE.

Okay, then. I'm thinking of a Legion character.

Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Only in the sense that one might consider the entire Legion part of the "Super-family".
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Has this character only been a Legionnaire in an imaginary story or adult Legion story?
Posted by Reboot on :
When you say they "debatably" appeared in the Glorithverse and postboot, did you mean they appeared in stories like End of an Era or Lgs #61/LSH #105?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
For the reboot, no. There is a character who someone might think is a reboot version of the character, ala Magno and Magno Lad.
For the Glorithverse, I kind of mean something like that. There is a definite appearance by this character in a multi-Legion crossover, though it is not clear whether the version is from the Glorithverse or not, but might be argued to be.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Is it Calamity King?

There is, of course, reboot CK homage Doro!

Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
This character has appeared elsewhere than the reboot.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Did this character join the Legion during the 5 Years Later period?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
There are several potential semantic issues with that question which could leave any answer open to dispute.
'Join' can mean 'first join,' or (re)join for the umpteenth time.
the five years later era can refer to the 2994-5 era from the characters' points of reference, or for any story published during that era from the readers' point of reference.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
but in general, most people would likely not describe this character as having joined during said era.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Did this character's membership with the Legion coincide with the 5 Year Gap, and ONLY WITH the 5 Year Gap?

I'm not sure how that happened.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Not Cosmic Boy.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Thanks! That's why I guessed Kid Quantum - adventure-era retcon who didn't actually appear. No worries.
Is it Lightning Lad?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
But since my error early on threw off so many guesses from you and Future, I'm giving it to you anyway, Ibby, for pointing out my error.
It was going to be Mon-El.
Go, Ibby!

Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
No, she isn't.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :

Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Yes, it is! you're up!
Posted by Blacula on :
(Can someone please remind me who Trudy Trusoe was again?)
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
She was a reporter. Trudi Trusoe wasn't her real name - it was Hannah Wells.
She appeared in:
Legion Worlds 1 (reading the news) Legion 6 (Kinetix saves her from the hypertaxis wave, only to get terrorformed herself. Dammit!) Legion Secret Files 3003 (interviewing the Legionnaires and touring Legion World) Can't remember the issue #s, but Gail Simone's four-parter where we learn she's really Hannah Wells. Trudi used to magnify the negative in her dealings, but decided to be true to herself and be a more responsible journalist after being inspired by the Legionnaires.
Posted by Blacula on :
Gosh - I have no recollection of that character whatsoever.
But if it's her fault that Kinetix got hypertaxised then I hate her immensely! Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Maybe we can retcon it so that it was Trudi Trusoe who got terrorformed, and all this time Kinetix has been stuck as one of those little ball-seed thingies!

The LSH version is also a robot, and unlike other versions cannot pass for a present day human with the right clothing.

Is it Lori Morning's father?
Posted by Blacula on :
quote:Originally posted by Invisible Brainiac: Is it Lori Morning's father?
IT IS the infamous Ronald Morning! He who beget the brat that ruined the Legion-verse for some time!
Now during my background check for this character I came across some info that floored me -
I've always assumed he first appeared in the issue he died in, but according to Wikipedia he actually first appeared in a 1989 issue of The Atom (I assume it must mean Power of the Atom since that was the only Atom series published in 1989), which makes sense when you realise that that series was also written by Tom Peyer!
Since that series was pre-Zero Hour, that means Lori's Dad was technically a Preboot character - making him one of the few Legion characters that existed unchanged in both 'boots!
Interesting bit of trivia, huh?!
I actually have that Power of the Atom series waiting to be re-read so when I do I will keep my eyes peeled for the man whose daughter made me drop my favourite book for a while!
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
And who would have thought he'd have appeared again AND ruined the Legion so? He really is a great villain

Posted by Blacula on :
So who was this character? I'm totally blanking on female Green Lanterns (or, heck - any Green Lanterns) that appeared in the Reboot.
Posted by Reboot on :
Cary Wren. She was a homeless descendent of Kyle Rayner who appeared in Green Lantern #97-99 when Kyle got thrown into the 30th century for a Legion guest-appearance, and had Kyle's ring for most of #99.
Posted by Blacula on :
^ Ohhhh. No wonder it didn't ring a bell - I've never read those issues and know nothing about Cary Wren. Will have to track them down one day to complete my collection of Reboot Legion appearances.

I'd mark it as for completists only. The Legion don't do a whole lot that's memorable.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
^ Even in battle, most of them just wound up getting their @sses kicked. I think only XS had significant panel time.
Anyway, just confirming that Reboot did indeed get this round. over to you Boot!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Wasn't that the story with Particon and Radion as members of the Amazers?
Posted by Reboot on :
I think that was Legion of the Damned/Widening Rifts actually - certainly for Particon. Radion.... well, writers kept getting Radion and Atom'X mixed up for some reason (Legends of the Legion: Star Boy did it too - and in flashback, so there was no excuse. Namechecking Radion as an Amazer in Starman #49-50 might have been an editorial correction though, since Atom'X was "dead" by that point). I don't think the Amazers were anywhere near the GL arc, which bounced between Earth and where-Oa-once-was.
Anyway, there is a Legion character of which I am thinking.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
IIRC, the issue which showed Radion and Particon as Amazers was Starman 49-50, which guested Star Boy and Umbra alongside Jack Knight and Mikaal Tomas. The Amazers appeared briefly.
Legion of the Damned implied that Radion and Particon were still Amazers. They weren't seen again after that, though.
Did your Legion character exist in both the Preboot and the Postboot?
Posted by Reboot on :
To be fair, where Radion & Particon were left post-Workforce and with the Amazers losing Atom'X & Monstress after Mordru (not to mention KQ2 quitting not that much later), joining the Amazers was a perfectly reasonable direction for them. The only notable points are (1) that screw-up in LotL where Atom'X was called Radion and (2) the fact that neither appear with the Amazers in LSH #102.
quote:Originally posted by Invisible Brainiac: Did your Legion character exist in both the Preboot and the Postboot?

quote:Originally posted by Reboot: To be fair, where Radion & Particon were left post-Workforce (snip)
joining the Amazers was a perfectly reasonable direction for them.
I'd always felt that Particon would have made a decent Legionnaire. She had helpful energy powers (though ill-defined); besides the energy lance, I'm sure at least one panel showed her shooting energy bolts at Mordru, and Mysa mentioned that Particon helped deflect Mordru's final blast. She also performed well against Mordru, being the only non-Legionnaire besides Monstress who emerged uninjured (Blast-Off and Atom'x dead, Radion's face partially destroyed, Kid Q 2 and Dragonmage gravely injured, Mysa's magic spells not working properly).
Posted by Blacula on :
I really liked Particon but not as a Legionnaire.
A) because of the power lance (I am an originalist when it comes to the Legion Constitution haha); B) because I like the idea of the Legion universe having a wealth of interesting and heroic characters that aren't necessarily Legionnaires (I am a BIG fan of both the Amazers and the Work Force if you couldn't tell); and C) I feel the Legion was already crowded enough at that point - the writers started jamming way too many members onto the team way too quickly in the Reboot IMO - and she would have just taken attention away from all those other characters who were being neglected.
Re: the Green Lantern cross-over - I've just looked at the covers over on the Grand Comics Database. And who should I see front and center on one of them but the hated LeVIathan! I think I'll pass on tracking them down.
---
Back to the game - is your character from Earth?
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
^ She didn't do much in the crossover. Spark, Comsic Boy, Ultra Boy, Live Wire and XS had much more panel time
Re Particon, I was always under the impression that her lance was a manifestation of her innate powers. I can recall instances where her lance would appear out of nowhere, and I never saw a handle or anything that would indicate it was a piece of hardware.
Posted by Blacula on :
^ I always just assumed it was an external piece of hardware but it's been forever since I read those issues.
I must say though, that if she did have the power to summon/create those energy lances then that makes her 100 times cooler in my eyes.
I really like the idea of an energy caster who has to summon their energy in a specific form instead of just generic blasts (a la characters like Wildfire or the Lightning twins). I know Marvel has Psylocke and her energy knives but I can't think of any DC characters that can do it so it seems pretty unique to me.
Posted by Blacula on :
quote:Originally posted by Invisible Brainiac: ^ She didn't do much in the crossover. Spark, Comsic Boy, Ultra Boy, Live Wire and XS had much more panel time
You mean she just stood around in the background being inappropriately giant-sized for no reason?
At least the Green Lantern writers were up-to-speed with her post-power theft characterisation. Posted by Reboot on :
Back on-topic
quote:Originally posted by Invisible Brainiac: Was your character a Legionnaire in the Postboot?
Nope.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :

Re energy characters summoning their powers in a certain way, good point. Well, Zauriel has a flaming sword, but it's still an important distinction - it just happens to be a sword on fire, but it's not an innate power. With Particon (IF my interpretation is true), then you can't ever disarm her
Re Violet - I think you and I agree, though, that Titans/Legion Universe Ablaze was even MORE horrible about having Legionnaires stand around and be useless. Even when they were actually doing something, they were mostly useless!

I should add a clarification to "no alias/codename" - this character did give herself an alias/nickname once.
Posted by Reboot on :
Are they a sci-cop?
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Yes!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Is it Shvaughn Erin?
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Yes it is - hence the phrasing of my reply, "This character WAS female."
The nickname I'm referring to was her calling herself Liaison Lass in LSH v4 Annual 6.
You're up, Eryk!

In that case, yes, this character is Caucasian. Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Jeepers! Is anyone going to take this?
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
I was waiting for Reboot to answer!
Posted by Reboot on :
...fine, fine. I'd better do it before the PMs start flying, huh?
Could it be.... VIOLENCE QUEEN?! (Admit it, you just liked the name )
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Violence Queen it is!
I came across her name in the Legion Help File, and a wick search suggested she'd never been mentioned at all on LW!
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
So, Reboot, did your chosen character appear in both the Preboot and the Postboot? Posted by Reboot on :

I could post a picture, but I think you'd be disappointed - while she's pretty violent (including putting a guy in a headlock at one stage!), her costume contains no royalty-themed imagery whatsoever!
quote:Originally posted by Invisible Brainiac: So, Reboot, did your chosen character appear in both the Preboot and the Postboot?
I wasn't thinking of a Legion character yet!!!!
...
Okay, now I am.
Nope.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
IIRC, Violence Queen was the one among that villainous quartet who came closest to actually killing someone!

Yes, but it's unclear whether they're inherent.

Nope!

Posted by Reboot on :
No
(Summary: Postboot, not Preboot, has super-powers but it's unclear whether they come from a device or they're inherent, not male, not Strobe Boy)
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Has she ever sought LSH membership?
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
If a space cruiser was leaving Metropolis, could she leave her feet and catch up to it before it left the atmosphere and screamed silently into the icy depths of space?
Posted by Reboot on :
quote:Originally posted by Kent Shakespeare: Has she ever sought LSH membership?
Yes.

While I can only find a reference to him *working alongside* the Subs in the Legion of Substitute Heroes Special rather than joining them, I can't find anyone else who fits the other clues and might be counted as a Subs member - is it Matter-Eater Lad?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
It's not Matter-Eater Lad. And I'm not so mean as to count "acid spit" as a ranged power.
Hint: the character in question appears on the cover of Legionnaires #43.
Posted by Reboot on :
