Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Welcome to Legion World. Introduce yourself, why don't ya!

Can't have enough football fans.

Welcome DK.

Your location? Is giving the county pretty much the way down there? Been a long time since I've even been through NC. Had a job interview once in.... eh, I forget. It'll come to me. Hickory? yeah that's it. Hickory.

Welcome to legion World.

Welcome to the gang DK.

I hope you are here to stay, it's a pretty cool place.

Lurked for 2 years. Joined, still lurking. What the heck, tonight I decided to introduce myself.

Name: SherylR (what I used at dalnet Legion chat, lo those many years ago)

Age: 52

Location: Bellaire, Texas. Bellaire is the biggest little city within the Houston city limits

What you do: Registered Nurse. I also am the editor and the owner of The Collector Times, but that's my rathole of a hobby I pour money into, rather than a money making concern.

Legion info: Hahah! I started reading with Adventure 300...it hooked me at age 5, and I've been reading ever since. My favorite Legion artist of all time is Mike Grell, although Barry Kitson ranks a very close second, and I loved Dave Cockrum. Writers? Levitz, of course, and I also loved Keith Giffen's writing. I loved v3 and v4. Detested the first reboot with a passion, yet I am really enjoying the current run, warts and all. There's no Legionnaire I actively dislike, but if I had to pick favorites, it'd be Saturn Girl and Brainiac 5.

My oldest daughter is a Legion fan, too. I gave her the reboot title when she was about 14 or so and asked her to read it and so she could tell me if it sucked or not. She initially LOVED it, and like a good little Legion fanatic, went right back into my collection, and read everything from Adventure 247 on. So we do kinda stand out, being the mom/daughter Legion fandom team. I've made her a couple of Night Girl costumes: One is the silver age version, and the other one is the Grell costume. She's worn both to Comic Con International and to various Texas conventions. The year Barry and Mark attended Wizard Texas, my oldest daughter was wearing the 1950s Batwoman outfit, if that rings a bell with anyone. It was at that con that Barry told my daughter about this message board, and she told me about it. I've been lurking every since.

Amusingly enough, my husband, the I-don't-read-comics-I-read-real-books guy, loves the Legion cartoon. We watch it together every Saturday morning.

My youngest daughter is the rebel...she makes hers Marvel!

Anyway, I'm glad to be here. Hopefully I'll post periodically, now that I've decided to break the ice.

Welcome to the community QD. Glad you finally posted. It sounds like your household is chock full of Legionny goodness. That's really cool.

If you love Night Girl, I love you! (Imra & B5 are pretty good too.) Bonus points for being a nurse.

The SA Batwoman outfit is one that seemed to me like it shouldn't have worked but did anyway. Have you read The Nail, by the way?

Please feel free to start a thread with costume pictures, if you and your daughter would like.

Hi Sheryl - or QuietDarkness! Great to see you coming out of the lurking darkness. Do you do the beehive hairdo for Night Girl?

Hi QD! Welcome to Legion World. Glad you de-lurked and decided to post. Now that you've taken the hardest step, I predict you'll be posting up a storm in no time at all!

Hi QD glad you decided to post, we love more people to join in and have fun.

Welcome, QuietDarkness and an official Texan "Howdy, neighbor!" to a fellow Houstonian (yes, I know Bellaire is an independent city)!

Always good to have another Texas Legion Worlder on board.

Welcome to Legion World, QD.

Yvonne Craig lives in my breath-takingly oversized pantaloons!!

Hi. I'm new here. 38 year old married engineer from Rochester, NY. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to visit here, it'll depend on my workload and such. It looks like a great site, though.

Question for lizrdprnce. Do you post at the DC site under the same name?

Hi Insaniac5!

Welcome. I used to be a 38 year old married engineer in nearby Syracuse.

uh,

Now I'm a 49 year old single sometimes teacher in Toledo, but hey!

Alternate timelines and all that.

You know what they say

"all work and no legion world makes..."

Hope to see you joining the nuthouse. Bring the wife.

Hiya insaniac5! Welcome to Legion World. You'll find that posters here are among the friendliest and most knowledgeable on the net. So make yourself at home and have fun!

ell, there have been as many incarnations of this thread as Legion message boards, but thanks to Gary and Scott, we've all found a terrific home here at Legion World.

I thought it would be a nice idea to start this thread up again, so that we can get to know all our LW friends and family, both old and new.

Here's some of the standard info that people have included in the past -- but please feel free to tell your fellow Legion Worlders as much or as little as you'd like.

Welcome to Legion World Titan Lad aka cpsm1092 aka CP.

Now you must go to the Limerick thread in Spaceopoly and write a limerick (just kidding. But feel free to try one if you wish)

Hi CP, welcome.

I think we have to add a new line on the "age poll."

Don't mind us "slow-typers" and join right in.

So, what version of Legion do YOU like best.

Sorry.

I really like the 2005 remix series that is going on right now, I just starting picking up DC again so I don't know awhole lot about the Legion but I am interested in them.

Welcome, Titan Lad!

Glad to have another Texan on board. I'm in Houston. We have several members in the Lone Star State.

Welcome again.

Aw cool, alot of my family lives in Houston so I visit there often.

What you do: Customer Support

Started collecting with S&LSH #217, but first exposed to the Legion with the Timber Wolf/Tyr issue (can't recall the #)

Always favored Phantom Girl and Shrinking Violet (I like brunettes), but always had a soft spot for Supergirl when she was with the Legion. Of the guys, I like Ultra Boy and Timber Wolf, and Cosmic Boy, because magnetic powers seemed so cool to me back in the day.

Favorite eras are the Cockrum/Grell period. Enjoyed the Giffen period, at times, especially the Great Darkness Saga. Favorite artists are Swan, Cockrum, Grell, some Sherman, Immonen, Hughes, Sprouse and Moy, in no particular order.




This is what Singularity would look like. He has the power to warp space-time so he can teleport or bend space to deflect energy, stuff like that.
