Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Possible new members for LSH

More females yet in the Legion, I say (the definitive characters' names are in caps).
First, I would tweak the Substitutes: Night Girl, Stone Boy and Fire Lad could be "merged" with SHADOW LASS, BLOK and WILDFIRE, respectively. Earlier stages in the latter's personal stories, maybe?
I would also merge Antenna Lad and (ANN?)THEENA (the perfect support staff/permanent monitor duty member), CHLOROPHYLL KID and Ivy, Color Kid and RAINBOW GIRL, "gender-bending" them all (think Pro fem, if you must).
Double-Header and GEMINI would also be merged but here the plot would thicken itself. Besides being an hermafrodite, s/he would be the perfect Legion plant for the Scorpius Gang, at least as good as Porcupine Pete/DARTALON would be for the early on Legion suspectful (and earlier established) Wanderers, Karate Kid II/ECHO would be for the LSV, and Monica Sade/BOUNTY entity would for the League of Super-Assassins. Comet Queen/QUANTUM QUEEN would be a nice guise for another Wanderer to wait upon the occasion to avenge her former comrades' murder: think Quislet's powers applied to a suitable-because-durable bio organism until the right Mad Controller comes into her majesty's cross-hairs). The latter four would get to keep their original genders.
Ron-Karr and Grinn, from the S.U.B.S. phase would stick to villany but Kono/LIGHT LASS and Devlin O'Ryan/REFLECTO II could also be added to the ranks.
But my first choice would be Infectious Lass, even if her name is so awkward. Maybe as DUO DAMSEL (a quite-skewed reference to the Malady-Remedy dichotomy of her powers)?

Other characters whose "merging" (which has already been done: Danielle Foccart-COMPUTO, anyone?) I envision - due to the fact that I imagine it as a good way to slightly compress the Legion's humongous cast while actually maintaining most of both it's history and story elements in case a new reboot actually gets underway would be BOUNCING Boy/MATTER-Eater Lad, Ferro Lad/GEAR, Tyroc/INVISIBLE KID II and Quanto/QUISLET.

Glue Guy: Can make people stick together.
Mirror Mistress: Can make almost identical copies of other people. The problem is they take backwards, Zatanna backwards.

Kid Cthulhu: An unholy, squid like demon from another dimension filled with horrible xenoform alien monsters. He likes surfing and checking out babes on the beach.

King Sumo: Extreme durability, strength, and agility for someone of his, uh, size. Also an amusing story behind his tryout, involving Ultra Boy.

Iron Maiden: Sentient robotic worker girl with design similar to an old iron maiden. However she moves slowly and has a habit of dragging her feet on the floor.

The Bowel Buster: Only let in because his handwriting is so horrible people read his name on the registry as "Blood Bruiser".

Somebody with power over friction / coefficiency would be tres cool. Wave one hand, and everyone is stuck to the ground. Wave the other hand, and everyone is slip-sliding away!

Focus really hard, and the increased friction between a person's moving body and the air around them causes the air to ignite into flames!

I see Iron Maiden as the robot from Metropolis.

Kid Cthulhu sounds fun. Sort of a hideous squamous Thing Man Was Not Meant To Know, but with the personality of Quislet or Lagoon Boy.

It might be fun to give him limited reality-warping powers. Nothing too outre (and nothing that affects another living being), but able to cause someone's gun to melt like taffy in their hand, or even sprout tentacles and start grappling their wrist, having transformed into a small squid-like beastie!

Could somebody please stop that man from saying "friction" so much?

Oh you mean Futura? I got the idea for Kid Cthulhu from Cham's look during the "Emerald Legion" facade, and one of the unnamed Sinestro Corps members.

I would like to see a Sentry type character in the Legion.

The Superman who is rendered impotent by his own mental frailty.

Lamprey and Nightwind!

Yes! And Laurel Kent and Crystal Kid, while we're at it!

I guess that purple-skinned Power Boy they were always hanging out with could come, too...

(But not Comet Queen!)

Sometimes, while playing online games, I wonder what a Legionnaire version of various fantasy classes would look like.

A Necromancer would be right out.

Cosmic Boy - "Okay, uh, Zombie Girl, what can you do?"

Zombie Girl - "Brains... Oh, sorry, uh, I can stop bad-guys by sending a bunch of rotting ghouls to eat their flesh!"

Cosmic Boy - "Rejected."

Zombie Girl - "Don't you want a demonstration?"

Cosmic Boy - "Rejected. Rejected! REJECTED!"

But a character based on a Paladin would be pretty spiffy.

Crusader - possessed of an excess of positive 'life-force-energy' that she can channel into healing herself or others, or to enhance the physical abilities of herself or others. By causing a disruptive surge of excess life-force in another person, she can even 'smite' them!

Or a Wizard;

Conjuror - capable of creating magical gateways and portals that allowing him to transport himself and his allies around, and also forming 'micro-portals' to hostile regions (such as deep space, the hearts of stars, deep oceanic trenches, etc.) essentially 'teleporting' in destructive blasts of fire, cold, etc.

Or a Druid;

Maelstrom - her connection to the 'world-force' allows her to control animals, grow and animate living plants and manipulate the weather. Outside of earth's biosphere, she is mostly powerless, although she can adjust, over time, to an alien biosphere, and begin to use her powers on the native flora, fauna and environment. As such, she remains the sole permanant member of the Legion Home Guard, on permanant assignment to Earth. This has led to one of her less-than-diplomatic teammates, leaving on a space-faring mission, to refer to her as Monitor-Duty-Lass.

Any attacker faking a space emergency to get the Legion off-world so that he can raid their Headquarters is in for an earth-shattering surprise...

The Druid is pretty interesting, not just from the power perspective, but the Earth-bound nature. It takes the idea of the Talokian planetary protector to a different level. Other planets could have similar characters and develop some sort of Legion auxiliary/outpost network.

The idea lends itself to a twist as well, imagine a Legionnaire whose power is limited on a planetary surface, because he/she taps into 'dark matter' or something that only exists in the vacuum of space. Out there, they have awesome cosmic power. At the HQ, they need a Flight Ring just to get off the ground, and back to the source of their power...

It's kind of a 31st century version of Aquaman, with a teammate who is potent in their own element, with space being the special environment, instead of underwater.

Having both a planet-bound and space-limited character on the team would feel derivative, so I'd only want to include one of them!

I wrote a letter, in the days before the net, proposing a space bound teen character for the Legion.
sigh

She never showed up.

And Gates IS the Conjuror.
At least, his powers could be expanded that way.

Send it to BITS of Legion Business, care of MLLASH. Maybe she's show up in the Uncanny Excellents with the rest of the fan-submitted not-quite-ready-for-prime-time players!

Good point!

Would it be alright if I provided the bio for a character I created who interracts with the Legions.

Super-powered potential Legionnaire like the various Rejects, Academy students, Reservists, Subs, Honorary members, Wanderers, Theena, Ron Vidar, Dev-Em, etc?

Or non-powered supporting character like Dr. Gym'll, R.J. Brande, Shvaugn Erin or Gigi Cusimano?

Either way, go for it.

She's a little of both, actually.

Ebony Dent of Earth-22, 17, daughter of supermodel Allison Dent and Golden Age hero Neon the Unknown. Born with a photographic memory and orphaned at the age of one, then adopted and raised by supervillain Marcie Cooper, the third Harlequin. Trained in all forms of combat and taking college level homeschooling courses by age ten. Ran away from home at twelve when she learned what Marcie had in store for her. Found a home with Suzy Black, the Black Orchid, in Viceroy South Carolina, up until age fifteen when Marcie found her again. During this time, Ebony became pregnant. The confrontation ended in Marcie killing Suzy, and Ebony's unborn child, until she died when the roof caved in on them.

Ebony spent the next two years working as a vigilante in Metropolis, operating under the radar with the title "X", taking care of crime and keeping herself uninvolved with the rest of the metahuman community. The name X may or may not come from the X scar on her stomach. Her motivations are that she is tired of watching crime and murder occur as the metahumans do nothing but fight one another out of sheer boredom.

She, and five others, have recently become pawns in a grand scheme being orchestrated by a cadre of villains led by someone named End of the World, as well as her stepmother, revived by a red lantern ring. She's been thrown into the world home to the animated Legion for reasons unknown, other than because it's the one world where Marcie Cooper does not exist, and she wants to leave her mark.
