Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Great novelists (dead or alive) write The Legion of S-H

John Cheever takes on a new "Adult Legion" story. They have achieved galactic respectability, drink too much and wonder where the excitement went.

Jane Austen fills in for one issue. By the end, everyone is married.

Brainiac 5 in the hands of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle solves all of the Legions problems, whilst investigating addictions first hand and learning the violin. Oh, and making everyone else look like complete morons.

ummmmm

HST penned a threeboot version of Legion on the Run before he passed away... Believe me profem was the least of their problems on that 'trip'.

And Chameleon Kid kept changing into a bat for some reason...

"Space-Lillies in the Upside-Down Rocket"

V.C. Andrews takes on the Legion, as the Super-Cousins finally give in to their throbbing biological desires!

Ooops, you said "Great" novelists. Sorry about that.

Herman Melville returns to life to write "Bartleby the Super-Scrivener of Space!"

Or something like that...

Hemmingway's Legion:

Everybody goes to war, beds nurses, fall in love with nurses, get dumped by the nurses, and go home after the war and do a lot of fishing.

Well, I had a synopsis for William S. Burroughs' "Naked Legion", but it's probably best not to go there.

Kafka writes about the new Legion Tryouts, which become an impossibly convoluted process of red tape, beaurocracy, exams and waiting. Oh, and they turn into bugs for no discernable reason...

I've always thought Karate Kid should've been rebooted as a giant grasshopper!

We may just have stumbled upon a way to bring back Gates....

Dickens would write "The Legion of Super Orphans", in which all the Legionnaires are orphaned. Brainiac 5, Shadow Lass, Princess Projectra, Dream Girl and Sun Boy are involved in quests to receive their inheritances. Element Lad, the Ranzz triplets, Ultra Boy, Phantom Girl, Invisible Kid and Gates live underground, committing crimes for the pickpocket king, Roxxas. Everyone else works in horrible, soul-numbing conditions that display the inequities of a smog-covered, class-riddled future.

Tenzil, Chuck and the Subs get lots of supporting exposure... emphasizing the comic side of their nature(s).

The kindest girl, Ayla, dies. Identical twin cousins, unexpected relations, sudden reversals and surprising connections appear every other page.

Dostoyevsky would write 'Angels in Hell' featuring Legionnaires with hidden addictions, loves that strike like vipers, clinging unto death, tortured souls slogging through misery to still accomplish something that's good-- even if it's a twisted reflection of good.

The 'Angels' would be servants to the state, waging a quiet, slow revolution from within the frameworks of society.

Mark Twain would write 'A Kansas Rafter in Tomorrow's Court'.

Clark Kent even sounds like Huck Finn in a way, doesn't it?

Frank Herbert's Legion. Brainiac 5 and Dream Girl's prescient-mentat child is the Kwizatz Haderach. Triplicate Girl is a series of gholas created in the axotol tanks of the Durlan Face Dancers. Shameless hussy Saturn Girl has "sexually imprinted" half the male Legionnaires.

Louisa May Alcott's "Tiny Little Women" examines the lives and loves of Salu Digby and her three sisters on war-torn Imsk.

In Emily Bronte's "Winathian Heights", Garth and Ayla Ranzz are struck by lightning as they wander the moors in search of their brother Mekt. Pathological obsession, death, revenge and just plain bad luck are the underlying themes of this timeless gothic tragedy.

In Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Hussy", a time-displaced wench in a pale scarlet bikini mentally manipulates the inhabitants of a Puritan village, and is forced to wear an emblem on her chest.

Tromium, you've probably offered the best three so far, IMHO!

JRR Tolkein's "Legion of the Rings" has hobbits Chuck and Salu venturing deep in to Oa to destroy the evil lord Ganthet's magical weapon.

Meanwhile the once-fallen warrior prince Val must pursue is destiny and defeat the forces of evil, aided by his love, the elf princess Projectra, the elfin archer Jan, the warrior-dwarf Brin, the sorceress Mysa the Grey, and two more hobbits, Tenzil and Brek.

Mary Shelley's "Computo" was outright horrifying, especially when Brainy chases the robot monster obssessively after it kills one of poor Luornu.

James Fenimore Cooper's "Legion of the Mohicans"

Rokkeye, a white man gone native, pals around with Native American chief Brandgachgook and his son Reepas, the last survivors of their tribe.

En route to Fort Ticonderoga, they meet a soldier of the United Kingdom, Garth Heyworth, and his fiance Imra. Together with Rokkeye, they prevent Brandgachgook's assassination.

At Ticonderoga, they ally with Colonel Durgo and his identical triplet daughters, Alice, Cora and Luornu, to oppose the Huron foe Magua the Merciless, who is beseiging the fort on behalf of the Khundais, the UK's foes. Magua also wants Col. Durgo dead for his own revenge, and his daughters for chattel.

Dan Brown's intergalactic best seller "The Legion Coed". UP Cryptographer Rokk Krinn stumbles upon a Legion Constitution, the first clue in a mystery that extends from the Legion Clubhouse Trophy Room to the Lightning Rings Plantation and Gorilla Nebula and beyond - with more twists and turns than a Legion Flight Ring, and an ending more amazing than Sir Prize and Miss Terious!

Here are some of the rave reviews:
"Brilliant." - Sun Boy
"I couldn't put it down!" - Light Lass
"Mildly thought provoking" - Brainiac 5
"Yummy" - Matter-Eater Lad
"I can't read..." - Timber Wolf

KQ-

Co-ed or Code?

One word says a lot about how the mystery unfolds...

No typos here - gives the novel more possibilities, don't ha think?
