Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities superpowers

Due to their remote origins all the legionnaires have simple superpower like superstrenght, fireblast, mental blast..ecc...all power that have been used and abused in all the following comics.
I was looking for some healing power, but no one legs have them.

do you know some character (of lsh, allie or enemy) with healing power?

I don't know it, but is there any healer in dc universe???

Didn't Reanimage of the Wanderers have some sort of healing power? One that worked at least on himself...

Kind of odd that there are so few healers in the DCU (I can't think of any others off the top of my head)... and I can recall a number in the Marvel Universe without even trying.

Raven from the Teen Titans was a healer. Not sure if she still is though.

Mordru had a grandson who was endowed with healing powers. But after refusing to join Mordru he was killed, his power absorb by the wizard. Legionnaires #48.

Izaya, during the Great Darkness, used his power to heal all injured Legionnaires.

The inhabitants of the planet Seeris exhibited the ability to cure all physcial problems. Adventure #379.

And Stu, you are right about Re-Animage. Originally Immorto, he changed his name to Re-Animage when he developed the ability to heal others.

I recall a healer on Apokilyps (spelling malfunction! aargh!) during the JLA/JSA/New Gods x-over 20-some years ago.

Now that Elfquest is being reprinted by DC, Leetah sort of counts, I guess.

Although not an innate power, I recall one specific Amazon in charge of using the Purple Ray.

As I understand it in the Legion Sourcebook Kent Shakespeare was credited with being the Legion's medic. Not as a super power but as a learned skill.
Otherwise they always seemed to depend on Brainiac 5 to whip something up whenever they needed it.

Kent, in an RPG that Caroline and I play in, has the ability to use his blood to heal. Sort of like Arcangel (Warren) in the X-Men was able to do for awhile. Or does Warren still have that power?

Mysa could always do a healing spell if prepared...

A Green Lantern ring should be able to help heal and has in the past, but sometimes doesn't. But then the powers of a GL ring have always been depicted with great inconsistancy.

Speaking of superpowers, is there a power not represented in the Legion that you would like to see? -or have we exhausted every power there is to have?

Well, we fans have seemingly always shown the uncanny "survive yet another Legion reboot and still understnad most of the continuity" ability. That's gotta count for something.

On a more serious side, I'd like to see "Earth Manipulation" like Terra of the New Teen Titans or Marvel's Terrax the Tamer (herald of Galactus) had.

Returning to Luca's original question, we saw Terrorform Kinetix heal the mortally wounded M'onel with hypertaxis energy after he was shot by R'as Al Ghul. R'as later healed the mutating Sensor with some of gentech wizardry that was beyond even Brainy's ken. In Legion Lost, Element Lad/Progenitor healed B5 of a hidden brain lesion and restored Live Wire's arm. I suppose it's possible that the reimagined E-Lad could have healing powers in his new mystical/magical bag of tricks, though it's unlikely.

thank you to all of you! I have to study the Wanderers a bit!!! ^_^

Are you sure it's the New Gods cross-over and not the 'Journey Into The Microcosmos' to rescue the Atom story that you're thinking of here Kent. It's just that I remember a woman in that Micro-universe who was a healer (I think her name was Sister Moon or something) but can't for the life of me remember anyone from that New Gods story who was.

As for missing powers in the Legion - there are loads!

I'd like to see a weather controlling member one day. Storm Boy?

An underwater specialist person. Lamprey?

A teleporter was long overdue before Gates joined.

A healer would be great.

I echo the call for the earth-mover.

A plant/vegetation controller. Chlorophyll Kid?

Someone who can freeze/slow down/speed up time for limited periods. Kid Quantum?

A member who can speak to/control machinery. Gear?

The variety in super-powers is what makes the Legion great IMO. I *definitely* do not want to see any more merged power characters a la LeVIathan or Star Boy with his gravity increasing and decreasing powers of the reboot.
