I voted for lightning powers, because of what they mean to Ayla?s growth as a character during the Levitz era (which is ?my? era). I started reading Legion with LSH #262, and I found Light Lass to be one of the least interesting characters. When she regained her lightning powers, she was more self determinative, more fierce, as if her personality was suddenly infused with lightning itself. Her growth as a character (for those of us who read the Legion during the Levitz era) started with her leaving Brin before any power change, but really began to bear fruit with her return as Lightning Lass. For me, her lightning powers literally represent her empowerment, and that is why I prefer them to light powers.

Why are you laughing at me? It's unkind, as well as puzzling!
