Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread XLIII - Uninspired Sequel to an Uninspired Event

Didn't he get dedded at the start of a JSA series?

It's kind of fascinating just how much traction the "Dr. Fate" concept/legacy has had, considering he had one of the shortest GA runs of any of the JSA members.

and on the flip side, the Spectre was soon elevated to a very powerful spirit of vengeance type, so has had little involvement with the JSA since!

Well, Doctor Fate has such a cool looking helmet...seriously, it might seem like a minor detail, but I think it's major.

Hmm... perhaps he would have lasted longer in the GA if they hadn't switched helmets on him!

I agree, though. He has a pretty memorable look.

The Spectre definitely benefited as well by them going back to his early GA stories for inspiration. By the end of his GA run, his series was very similar to Johnny Thunder, with him serving the "Thunderbolt" role to Percival Popp, the Super-Cop!

yeah, Doc Fate's design is one of my faves for sure!

I didn't read it but I couldn't understand the appeal of changing the helmet out for a knife (sword?) with the post Zero Hour Dr Fate.

It was the edgy period. Kinda like giving Cable and everyone else massive guns

All that steroid abuse, leading to anatomical issues elsewhere, over compensated for with massive guns. Guns so big, that even more steroids were needed to lift them, perpetuating the cycle. Our local community centre has a support group for '90s characters twice a month. It's a real shame for them. It's summer, but it won't be long before we'll be having a donate a jumper campaign, to keep underclothed 90's female characters warmer when the weather cools.

I hope they learn how to walk properly, without overly straining their backs

It turns out that '90s characters don't have the correct structure to walk. They lurch and shamble in a desperate bid to stay upright.

Maybe that's why there were so many telekinetics among them. only way they could hold themselves up

You see that so often on the covers. Everyone thought they were leaping forward screaming their rage, but actually they were falling and calling out "oh no, not again!"

That's why they were gritting their teeth so much! in anticipation of the pain!

Send $20 a month to provide telekinetic support and bandages for poor, forgotten '90s characters. Send your payment to Image Comics...

Now I also understand why they had all that body armor!

All the headbands contained alarms connected to support services.

Probably exoskeletons too to prop them up

They could all train up to become Mandroids. Or Persondroids as are now.

Or they all get those little floating cars like Professor X had in the first X-Men toon

Battles would become like floating Dodgems

Don't let Crash Kallor join the battle...

Crash Kallor. Close pal of Crash Bandicoot.

In the Funny Animal universe, most likely

When I was first reading the Legion, I didn't have any appreciation for the super pets. That would be based on references, and Who's Who. But on actually reading the stories, they are whimsical fun.
