I use that threeboot desgination reluctantly, but I bow to the majority. 'Classic' here means as appearing in the ACTION updated LSH.
Which version of LSH characters would you want to read about most in future stories of the team? Let's also stipulate that the character would be as seen in the most recent appearance of the version chosen.
1. Cosmic Boy... ACTION, Reboot or Threeboot?

For me, it'd be reboot. He's the only Cos that I've viewed as successfully inspirational and deserving of the 'founder adulation' as he appeared in actual stories. 'Classic' would be second.

Oh, definitely Reboot-era Cos only. 3boot Cos was cute with the goats and all, but mostly a jerk. For "classic", I would take the Bierbaum's SW6 version.

definitely not Threeboot. He's worn out his welcome for years to come. I can see your strong case for Reboot Rokk. I've usually liked that version. Classic Rokk thus far reminds me of the TMK Rokk, without as much "time off" or the Imsk war. So I'm very inclined to like this version, too.
An older, more experienced Rokk makes sense in the theorized combo Legion, so I'd choose Classic Rokk there. But I wouldn't object to new Reboot tales with that Rokk.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

Would you also pick 'Classic' Rokk if he was the only Cosmic Boy for the foreseeable future? That's what I'm getting at.
There were a few SW6 versions that I'd pick, too-- and a couple of 5YL ones. But those seem out of play as far as DC's currently concerned. Maybe L3W (Legion of Three Worlds) will be more inclusive than we've been told. But I doubt it.

Classic for me.
Reboot was a bit too behind-the-scenes cocky for me--"I'll mastermind a scheme to take down the President and leave most of the legion out of it."
And threeboot took that to the extreme--"I'll mastermind the resolution to all of the legion's problems because it's all about me."
Classic Cos was more human if only because he had the Hag's mirror hanging over his future.

Reboot Rokk was definitely the first "Cosmic Boy" I ever cared about other than the 5YL version. The way he was written there, for the first time you could really see him as the center of the Legion. Yes, he was kind of arrogant, but you could see that the Legion really needed that confidence to ground everyone.
Classic was just too generic until Levitz got hold of him, and 3Boot really just took the arrogance too far.
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I vote for "Classic" Rokk because he reflected the idealism of the Legion's founding better than later versions--and he looked great in a bustier!
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

1/2 Classic, 1/2 Reboot Cos for me since I really like Rokk as the 3 time Magno Ball Champion before he founded the Legion. And I liked his Cockrum/Grell costume.

TMK Rokk. 3Boot after that, Action Legion later and Reboot NEVER.

COSMIC BOY: 4.5 'Classic' 3.5 Reboot
I'm going to start the next character, but anyone who'd like to can still chime in with their choice for Cosmic Boy.
SATURN GIRL... ACTION, Reboot or Threeboot?

I'm going to go with 'Classic' Imra. 'Cause she's a freakin' *historic* character that has *never* received her due!
I'd hope that she gets to grow her hair out, though. I'm not digging the concentration camp look.

Classic or Threeboot for Imra. Either works, but not the current Action Imra, who looks plain awful.
Oh yes, I am that shallow.

3 boot, Classic, never Reboot. But you should know that. Any Legion book with a snake is not the Legion (following Giffen).

Classic. Unless any of the others ever forced the other legionnaires to wear her image on a medallion.

I actually have a soft spot for Reboot Imra. Classic, too, but I'm going to go Reboot on this one.

Reboot Imra. As great as she was classically, she was always front and center in the reboot. As flawed and controlling as the reboot version was, I never really cared about Imra before the reboot, believe it or not. A flawed character is often just more interesting than a perfect one.
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I'd go with Reboot Cos who spawned the "Cosmic Boy Must Die" hate group. I think he was portrayed as a natural leader of the 3. Of course, I'd also pick Polestar if I had that choice.
With regards to Imra, I'm torn between the 3boot version and the reboot version. Imra was interesting during the reboot, but the tough-as-nails portrayal in the 3boot is interesting as well. I'll go 50% split on both versions.
Exnihil: Novelty, if he had a power, the obvious one to me would of course be "The Power of Grayskull"

I'll vote for the Imra that was brave enough (some might say "stupid enough") to battle the LSV while 9 months pregnant with twins. The Imra that never backed down, the Imra that was brave enough (some might say "stupid enough") to battle villains in a pink bikini once she caught wind of her reputation as an iron butt.
CLASSIC Saturn Girl!

Put me down for Classic Rokk and Classic Imra, because sometimes the originals are the best...
