He deserves it for being one of the best writers and designers on Legion World.

For what he got for me at comicon, he is beyond awesome.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

He let me pass him in the Legion Hot 100. I am undeserving. While my posts are mostly inane, his are certainly "ane"...and funny too.

Twas Exnihil that warned us all about the dangers of Cadbury Creme Eggs™.

He was one of the first people I told about my wife being pregnant with our first baby (incl family and close friends)!
Plus, we met before he even joined LW!
He space-rawks!

He introduced himself to me in San Diego in '08 and somehow used his amazing powers to wipe that meeting from my memory. Honestly, I feel awful that I don't remember it. A lot of people who were not at that point active posters introduced themselves to me while I was staffing the LW booth.

<waves hand dismissively in slight embarrassment> Oh, go on, you guys! No... seriously... go on!  Thanks for all the kind words, everybody, but, if anything, it's how awesome this place is that I think really brings out the best in people, both creatively and in community building. This might sound uber-corny but (as I suspect is true for most people here) when I was younger I read about this fictional Legion and just fell in love with the concept of a large group of tight-knit people who epitomized both diversity and teamwork, and who, through their very relationships, helped to make each other better people. They were so much more than a team... they were a family. When I found you guys, I realized "The Legion" wasn't fictional at all. Before I get all misty, I suppose I'll just add my own "Exnihil awesomeness" anecdote by mentioning that I do have one of his kidneys. <checks again> No... no... I mispoke... both of his kidneys! Awesome.

Exnihil is more awesome than Chuck Norris. He's just more humble about it.

Hiya, Fanfie. A right back. So, I told Mrs. Nihil about this thread... I will assume her laughter will die down shortly... at least I hope so... sustaining that for three hours straight can't be healthy.

Ex, how did you like that list at the bottom of page 1 of things that make me proud to have been born in Philadelphia? Other than your special mention, of course, which I imagine you loved.

I don't like Ex because he reads my mind, and then puts my thoughts in much better words than I would have.

Did you ever hit Jon's Bar and Grill on South Street (former home of Larry Fine)? The enormous "Larry" mural is alone worth the drive. But... Scrapple? Really... Scrapple?

I walked by Jon's the last time I was up in Philly. It looked awesome. I don't know yet when I'll get back to Philly, but when I do I'll stop in for sure. As for Scrapple...grease is the word.

Mayavale is glad to see this thread celebrating his dear old friend Exnihil, who once saved his life when he was nearly thrown overboard during a sea storm!
Now, some might say that he was merely preserving my existence because he knew he might later need someone to sell into slavery in case he encountered hostile pirates, which is what later happened, but I believe this incredible foresight only proves how remarkable Exnihil really is!
I LIKE IKE!!

I wonder if we could start a campaign to rename the Philly cheesesteak, "The Exnihil." Or we could just build a lunch special around the name by serving the sandwich with a dirty martini and a rerun of Doctor Who.
