So is she in the re-imagined universe? I think so, and I think it's a VERY nice tribute to DnA.

Maybe it will soothe some of the ruffled feathers of reboot-only fans.

That is until she has an encounter with Re-Imagined Universe Hypertaxis and evolves into Dawnstar Lass. Just kidding.

In all seriousness, I don't know what to think. I like Lash's suggestion and think it's more likely the case rather than Shikari going back to the reboot universe.

So far there's no snakes, and I'm good with that.

To be honest - I'm really disappointed in this development.

If they were going to have one reboot character survive the transition... why did they have to pick that one?!? Sorry to Shikari fans but I REALLY don't like her, her is-it-or-isn't-it-a costume, her completely unoriginal concept or her cliched personality.

Why couldn't they have picked Gates or XS or Kinetix or hell, even Kid Quantum. One look at any 'Fave Legionnaires' list will show that those characters are infinitely more popular. And, most importantly, none of themn are half-baked weaker versions of pre-existing Legion characters. I miss the Legion's original beautiful winged space-tracker, Dawnstar, and as long as we have one we are *never* going to have the other.

IMO they really should have gone with XS. A more popular character and one who's very important to DCU continuity. I miss *her* already.

Just a thought - but by Waid's own rules of Hypertime, you can't stay in a different universe/hypertimeline for long without imploding it, can you?

Also, if Shikari is in the 'new' universe wouldn't that put her at odds with the new Legion right away? She would have her memories still of what came before.

Maybe she'll be showing up in the Titans future version. Although I guess the city she was looking at was more advanced than 10 years into our future.

Where does this speculation come from? I haven't gotten my xover copy yet. Is Shikari one of the 19?

I thought it was a little loophole for the writers to use i case something goes wrong. Shikari has shown the ability to nivagate her way out of anything, maybe she will go back, get these new Legionnaries and take them back to the proper timeline?

Shikari was seperated from the rest of the Legion when caught in the timesteam. She came out alone in a city/world she did not recognize.

I got the impression she is in the "new" reality, with the WaK Legion. Time will tell.


And maybe she's exempt from the whole "Hypertime" paradox, as she is from a different universe altogether (I think DnA tried to establish the Kwaiverse as something different than a "Hypertime" universe).

{[...] I miss the Legion's original beautiful winged space-tracker, Dawnstar, and as long as we have one we are *never* going to have the other. }

It's not at all hard (even if I weren't family {g}) to agree with the first sentiment, and even with my having become fond of Shikari in her own right, I can hardly disagree with the second assessment.

WnK put Shikari where she was for a reason, and on the "see a phone on stage in the first act" principle, something about the reason will ring out eventually. Yet it won't involve her presence somewhere else in the same reality as her teammates. That would be pointless, as she could find her way to them fairly easily. (Somewhen else, that'd be a story.)

Most likely, she'll fight her way to them across realities ... or they to her ... either to resume their friendship or to rely upon one another in an hour of need. Or both? All we know is that she has the knowledge of their past (shown by her "L" belt), that the team does not, and that they've each come to value the other.

It wasn't another universe - just a bit of another galaxy in the ZHverse. The whole "Kwaiverse" bit was a misnomer.

I'm guessing Shikari's presence will play a key role in the mammoth crossover we're going to get in, oh, about four years that revisits various eras of the Legion.

The 50th anniversary issue is about 3.5 years away

There were mentions about seeing buildings from different centuries and trying to show the difference in architecture. Maybe Shikari turned up in the past and inspired the creation of the Legion of Super-Heroes. We've still yet to find out how this version started.

I wasn't sure about the month.

Gasp!!! Maybe Shikari is the Legionnaire that becomes a part of the Teen Titans!!!!

That would actually be cool! I like her, and she's already got that out of place angle to her character.

Plus, after seeing how the Persuader got sent back in time, I started to wonder if that part of the story got dropped.

It would be cool. She would have a friend in Conner and would quickly make friends with the others that she just met.

Orange Titan = Kori
Green Titan = Gar
Moody Titan = Raven
Shiny Titan = Vic
Fast Titan = Bart

What would she call Wonder Girl and does she already have a name for Kon?

I'd consider the possibility that SHIKARI might be joining the Titans EXCEPT for the confirmation that BUMBLEBEE is rejoining them, both in the comic and cartoon.

Where did you read that? That would be cool. I loved Bumblebee/Karen as a character.

There's a link to Geoff's confirmation of it on this very board, on one of the BUMBLEBEE threads I started back when the Titans crossover first began.

Thee's even a pic of 'toon Karen-- she looks great!

Really? I'm aware of her showing up, but not of her joining the team, that's the first I've heard of it, and I frequent Johns board.

I realized the "link to confirmation" was imagined on my part after I rechecked the thread.

Shikari mini-series!
