They were definitely buddy buddy in his origin story, but there's no tangible proof they dated. I'm sure they were great flirts or childhood friends or some...uh...third thing.

Firstly, *SQUEALS* I LOVE your new avi!

Now didn't Ayla misunderstand Gim's intentions and slap him for what she thought was an untoward pass?

KID QUANTUM (James Cullen, Soul of Antares)
Computo II (Danielle Foccart) SW6-era flirtation

Gim and Ayla were investigating the tunnels together looking for Mordecai. I think Gim had dropped a few lines or Ayla said something that could be misinterpreted.

Either way, when Gim heard a low growl in the tunnel, he assumed it was Ayla and brushed up against her. "Gee Ayla, I didn't know you felt that way."

"Gosh, Leviathan! I *DON'T* feel that way!" she adamantly replied, until Gim turned away and muttered how stupid he was. She calmed down and tried to apologize, when they were attacked. Later, after Ayla was captured, an injured Gim returned to the battlefield against orders to try and save her.

If Ayla had any feelings toward Gim, they were ignored for that issue because the creature Mordeci ALSO had a crush on her. Gossamer's involvement was mainly being captured, finding Mordeci's love letter, and then escaping to defend him against Gim & the Legionnaires. She did help Gim out of the tunnels though, but it looks like they just stayed friends.

Kid Quantum I's bare entry is incredibly accurate. I thought he would have flirted with someone postboot before he died but no such luck.

Gim was moping about something or other (I don't recall what exactly) and Ayla started trying to re-assure him by telling him what a great guy he was, which was mis-interpreted as described by Future.

BRAINIAC 5 (Querl Dox), BRAINY, B-5, BRAINIAC 5.1
Supergirl (Kara Zor-el/Linda Lee Danvers) Adventure-era object of his affection

(Laurel Gand, a.k.a. Leala Linder), ANDROMEDA, TIGER ROSE, SISTER ANDROMEDA
Brainiac 5 (Querl Dox) Adventure-era Supergirl admirer; v4 retconned to be a Laurel Gand admirer; SW6 versions dated; postboot Andromeda admirer
Chameleon Boy (Reep Daggle) retconned Adventure-era seduction during the Girls' revolt story
Rond Vidar, common-law husband of Laurel Gand during 5YG (daughter Lauren)

Dr. Chaseer was a scientist at the Time Institute (I believe) who Brainy rubbed navels with during the Levitz-era story "Brainy's Lucky Day!" (One of the best titled Legion stories of all time, I might add). I don't believe she was ever seen after that story, so it seems to have been a one-night stand.

Besides v3 #30 ("Brainy's Lucky Day!"), Dr. Chaseer had also appeared in v3 #16, where she comments on how sad it is for Brainy to mourning his lost love (Supergirl) 1000 years too late.

Explain the postboot Atmos to me. Should I list him as an admirer of Andromeda's?

ULTRA BOY (Jo Nah), EMERALD DRAGON
An Ryd, pre-Adventure-era girlfriend
Phantom Girl/Apparition (Tinya Wazzo) Adventure-era couple, engaged during 5YG; SW6 versions dated; wife in Adult Legion stories (son Ronn, daughter Arna); Superboy's Legion versions dated; postboot dated & married (son Cub)
Spider Girl (Sussa Paka) v4 rebound woman while Jo mourned Tinya; postboot versions dated
Ginny, v4 rebound girlfriend
Saturn Girl (Imra Ardeen) postboot, posed as his missing wife during Legion Lost and shared a kiss
Princess Projectra, wife in Another Nail

I don't recall anything to that effect. Did they even meet?

For Jo, there's also Ginny, another v4 girlfriend.

He was also married to Projectra in the recent Another Nail Elseworlds. I believe they had kids as well, but someone else will have to confirm.

Atmos and Andromeda have never met, save for the every-character Jiminez pin-up.

I've seen a postboot poster on some thread that I can't recall.

It listed the entire cast (before Legion Lost) and had color-coded lines which denoted crushes, friendships, ill-will, etc.

Wasn't there an Amazer/Workforcer who had a crush on Andromeda? Perhaps Atom'x or Blast-Off, if not Atmos?

Here's a link to The Legion Relationships Poster (1997)

Thanks for the link, Eryk, but the only image that comes up for me is a Tripod logo. No image of the poster. But, if you & Future say I'm misremembering, I believe you. I'm weakest at postboot lore anyway.

I added in the Jo stuff. Eryk I didn't read Another Nail. Were any other Legionnaires/couples in the series?

STAR BOY (Thom Kallor), SIR PRIZE
Xynthia, Adventure-era girlfriend
Phantom Girl (Tinya Wazzo) Adventure-era 'seduction' during the Girls' Revolt story; v4 rumors of a past fling
Dream Girl/Dreamer (Nura Nal/Nura Schnappin Nal) Adventure-era couple or did it start in the Action-era?; postboot couple; wife in Adult Legion stories
Yvyya Val, wife in v4

Didn't Vi take part in this story as well? If I'm remembering correctly she shared Invisible Kid with one of Lu's bodies. I can't remember why she didn't get a man of her own, though. Foreshadowing of v4's Vi, perhaps? Also, why wasn't Gim in that story?

Apparently you can't link directly to it. Go
here and scroll down to the poster link.

Vi helped Lu by giving her the chemicals that allowed her to shrink the three males. Not sure why she didn't participate. Maybe because she'd just hooked up with Duplicate Boy a couple of issues before?

Thanks again for the poster link, Eryk. It lists Atom'x as having unrequited love for Sister Andromeda.

I also picked up a love nugget between Spider Girl and Radion.

I think you're misreading it. The light green line from Atom'x to the Kid Quantums which indicates their co-membership in the Amazers crosses the darker green line from Brainy to Andromeda, indicating a crush.

Really? Did I misread the Spider Girl/Radion relationship too? It kind of hurts my eyes looking at that poster for too long.

D'oh! I'll switch alts and edit Atom'x back out later. Willikers!

No, I think the Spider Girl and Radion attraction is real.
