hi all,
Our Legion Idol in 2024 pitted Legionnaires of all eras, in a contest to rank them all, until we got down to one winner. There, the Legionnaires had to compete against versions of themselves, and it was fun to see, for a given Legionnaire, whether the Preboot version would be most popular, or the Reboot one.
For this Idol game, let's switch it up. Now, we are a group of writers, and we have to form a team of 25 Legionnaires in a completely new reality.
Our starting point - a list of "unique" characters. That is: Preboot Saturn Girl and Reboot Saturn Girl are both Imra Ardeen, so they occupy one spot on our candidate list.
1) Because we're forming a new team, I've also added various other super-beings (think: Subs, Academy Students, Heroes of Lallor, Wanderers...) I've drawn the line at beings who are good, or at least anti-villainish. No out-and-out villains. Thus, Mekt's group from the Threeboot are in, but the Fatal Five are out. Legion rejects are here - even though they've been out and out villains - because they did try out.
2) This may be controversial, but I've also added a few non-powered good guys: you will see Shvaughn Erin and Gigi Cusimano on the list.
But hold on! Some Legionnaires had very different powers between 'Boots! So, we will make an exception for those. A Legionnaire will have multiple entries, for cases where a version of them had significantly different powers. OR where they had significantly different powers through their history.
Examples:
Ayla Ranzz has had lightning powers AND anti-grav powers (and even light-based powers in Superboy's Legion)! So Ayla Ranzz gets three entries on the list.
Violet normally only shrinks; but in the mid-Reboot, she got growth powers. So she gets two entries.
Kinetix with her psychokinetic powers vs. Kinetix as terrorform will get different powers.
To avoid the list getting too long, here's the fine print: "significantly different" powers does not consider cases where the expanded powers are a natural extension of past powers.
Reboot Invisible Kid was able to - with effort - make up to two others invisible. He was also able to "layer" his invisibility; making his skin/organs invisible, and showing only his skeleton. I would consider these as natural extensions of his power.
In 5YL, Color Kid used his powers to make disorienting auroras. I'd argue this just shows finer control of his powers, and is not a new power-set.
However, late DNA-era and Superboy's Legion Tasmia both had tangible darkfields. I would argue this is much more different than casting darkness, so should get a different entry.
I also have Black Witch and White Witch as different entries, as I think the magical bent is different enough.
OK, there is a bit of wiggle room here, so I will post the list first, and give it a couple of weeks for folks to weigh in and discuss!
I've generally used code names.
