Enough already.

Jarth - a combo of E. Lad and Live Wire.

Wildfire - a combo of Blast-Off and AtomX

Apparition - a combo of Phase and Apparition

Violet - a combo of Shrinking Violet and
Leviathan

Kinetix - transformed by Hypertaxis

Sensor - transformed by Hypertaxis

Cub - transformed by (unknown forces)

Ferro - stuck in his iron form

It's getting harder and harder to recognize our
Legionnaire icons. It makes me long for the old Adventure Comics days when the biggest transformation was Matter-Eater-Lad getting fat for awhile.

Though generally I am all about and fully in support of Transformers, I have to agree.


White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So... many... possibilities.

Agreed! Currently, the KINETIX and CUB plots are torquing me off the most!

Didya see Cub in the SF3003? Jeez, he practically looked like a pre-teen. I HATE that! Cub is going to end up being DnA's biggest mistake.

As for Zoe, I hope she returns to normal during the CREDO storyline. Her transformation really sucks because DnA seemed to have SUCH a great handle on her zippy personality in LWORLDS # 1 and her early pre-hypertaxis THE LEGION appearances.

I know it would mean another transformation but I wish they would make another person fat for a while.

I pick Saturn Girl.

OMG, what would the shameless hussy do if she couldn't use her body to get a man? Oh wait, nevermind, she'll just use mind control...


Touch the magic...

Transformations are the cheap route to characterization, or to something distracting from its lack, for lazy writers. We haven't had this much of a wave of them since TMK, and that was more a matter of fanboyish pyrotechnics -- "Let's see how many characters we can trash or mutilate!" -- than avoiding doing the work of character-trait building and nuance-shaping. These last tasks are what DnA have shown themselves to disdain.

"Jarth" nauseates me. I really can't discuss it further. Except to say that it's a sign of cannibalism -- it destroyed the end of DnA's own earlier wannabe-epic storyline. I'd say any of the already minimal chances of a "Legion Lost" trade paperback have thus now evaporated.
