CALLING THE ROLL OF THE ONE-LETTER-OFF LEGION:

LIGHTING LAD: theatrical lighting designer Darth Ranzz was on his way to a spectacular career designing lighting for holonovels and Nix Olympia musicals when a mysterious accident involving an old-fashioned Kleig light and a machete claimed his right arm. Unfortunate in his choice of doctors, he wound up with a malfunctioning robotic arm which could shoot lightning bolts.

He's very popular with the Legion ladies whenever they make public appearances.

SATURN GIL: Imsa Ardeen. Fish-headed, human-bodied telepathic girl with a blonde '60's 'do'.

COMIC BOY: Rokk Kring. Devoted fan of 20th/21st century comic books and action figures. A weird gas storm on his homeplanet affected his collection of figures, which he foolishly stored near a window. They fell into bed with him, and he was irradiated. Somehow, he gained some of the powers of the figures the toys represent.

Includes super-breath, weak magnestism, talking to insects.

ELEMENTS LAD: Jan Array. His planet is inhabited by beings who bond with the forces of nature. As a youth, he is learning the basics of all the forces. At some point, he'll have to choose which nature-force he'll permanently 'become'. He might also choose to remain an eternal youth, though that'd be choosing substantially weaker power (in his people's view).

Anyone else? Good luck with Phantom Girl and Triplicate Girl. I had no luck with either.

TRIAL: Luornu D'Argo - Daughter of the famed Luxan warrior, has inherited her father's hyper-rage and acts as a Justice while fighting to suppress it

Cool. Farscape in the Legion. There oughta be a Zan (spelling?)/Chlorophyll Kid hybrid.

SHRINKING VIOLE - Salu Digbé - From a planet settled by French Baroque musicians, she has the power to shrink period instruments.

STAB BOY - Armed with a sharp knife, Thom Killor comes to stabby stabby @#%$ing stabby until all the foes of the Legion are permanently stabified.

or the non-violent version:

STAT BOY - Blessed with the power of super-numeration, Thom Kalcor can calculate the exact physical statistics for anything he sees! All in easily convertible SI units, of course.

SIN BOY -- Locked in a confessional booth by the evil Father Regulus, Dirt Morgna was irradiated by the Holy Spirit and emerged with the ability to take people's sins upon himself and cast them into the fires of Hell. A living beacon of Holy Light.

DRAM GIRL -- Nausa Nal (okay, that's two letters) possesses the ability to cure others of motion sickness.

SUPPERBOY--Alter Ego: Call him anything you want, but don't call him late for dinner.

Re: Saturn Gil.
Isn't her real name Ima Sardeen?

Briniac 5-- While attempting help his friend from becoming a walking furball there is a horrible accident in the lab.

Shrinking Violents -- Look out its the Brainiac Emergency Squad unleashed from the microsphere. And he just told them that you're the guy who puts the best products on the top (unreachable for short people) shelf when they go on sale at the supermarket.

MON-ET -- Lars Gand, a French painter who spent 1,000 years in the Impressionist Zone and can paint anything at super-speed.

And now, to answer Mystery Lad's challenge in his initial thread:

PHAT TOM-GIRL -- Tinya Wazzup, a native of the extra-dimensional world, B-grrls, where all the girls are pretty hot and tempting but like to climb trees and jump in puddles.

Phat Tom-Girl. Perfect, HWW.

Ima Sardeen? I wish I'd thought of that, baycent!

All the others have been fun, too!

LIGHT GIRL and NIGHT LASS.

Hilarity ensues when Ayla and Lydda switch powers, bodies and Krinns. Will Ayla finally get revenge for that concussion Rokk gave her years before? Some advice Rokk, you'd better stay out of the dark. PLUS: Lydda and Pol???!!!??? But isn't she married to...

Regrettably, NOT A DREAM, NOT A HOAX, and NOT AN IMAGINARY STORY!

Now you've gone and done it, Mystery Lad:
you've got me thinkng (somewhat) along the lines of this latest posting.
See for yourself what damage you're to blame for.
