Action for me - Especially since this comes after she got her Lightning Powers back, stopped moping and showed some spunk.
I liked the reboot Spark well enough, but she wasn't Ayla.
And the less said about Threeboot, the better.

LIGHT LASS/LIGHTNING LASS: I really like all three versions about equally (reboot slightly less than the others two) but I'm really enjoying the unique uses Shooter is portraying for her anti-gravity powers so, if I can't have an amalgam of the three, I'll take 3boot Ayla.

I'm taking Reboot Ayla as the pre-Crisis version seemed a little whiny and a drama queen. Spark was just so fun and perky! I think we saw more Moy Tongue with her than anybody else.
Threeboot Ayla...just not comfortable with her sleeping habits. I'm not condemning her, but it makes her seem like she's incomplete without a man.
Sparky all the way!!!

This will probably be the hardest choice, for me. I've liked something about all the dream girls (though it took a little while to discover what for reboot Nura).
ACTION- Too many reasons to list, but I think the real reason I'd choose this version is because of that tantalizing mention of a connection to The Dreaming.
REBOOT- Khundish-trained with starfields that appear in her eyes when she gets a vision... most believable (to me) romance with Star Boy, budding friendship with Saturn Girl. There's a lot to like about this character. She also never had the somewhat haughty attitude that early Nura sometimes had. True, she began as a narcoleptic- but was a sweet character besides that.
THREEBOOT- Supremely confidant, Naltorian commando trained, playfully manipulative (twisted Brainy around her finger like an expert). Interesting visual, if one that's seldom been fully manifest.
I'm going with ACTION. I'm really curious about what the heck is going on with The Dreaming. She may not have Khundish or Naltorian commando training, but she's Karate Kid approved!

Action Legion, though 3boot is building up nicely these days.

DREAM GIRL/DREAMER: Action, Reboot or Threeboot? Ah, you make it so tough! OK, I'll go with Reboot Ayla, mainly for the cuteness factor. As for Dream Girl, I'll have to go with Reboot as well because of DnA. I thought the ditz-turned Khund strategist was interesting and a nice way to grow a what was an almost useless side character into a main player.

Dreamy's been portrayed well in all 3 Worlds, so it wasn't cut-and-dry for me. However, I've gotta go to the version who blossomed and flourished under Levitz (except for the Atmos thing). She's the blueprint for all the others.
ACTION Dreamy.

It was exactly the "Atmos thing" that decided me against that version of Nura. That being the case, I'll give the nod to the 3boot precog that was able to out manipulate Brainy.

Tenzil... I'll sign up for the sex-changing version (eventhough it was only a virus) so that's one for Action. Notch 1 for the cartoon version as well.
E Lad is tough. I liked 3boot, and appreciate the sacrifice he went through to be the progenator. Well, put me down for Reboot.
Dreamy - I didn't like the cartoon version... but found her interesting in 3-boot and reboot. Still, she was the anchor in Action and I liked how GJ wrote her, so I'll go with that.
Exnihil: Novelty, if he had a power, the obvious one to me would of course be "The Power of Grayskull"

Dream Girl's a tough choice. Action Dreamy was only interesting for a very brief period while she was leader. Her personality grated on me, but at least it was entertaining.
Reboot started out lame, but the Khund training (Legion Worlds had some great stories) made her much more of a threat to be dealt with.
3boot was the absolute best thing about this version until Waid stupidly killed her.
It's close, but I'm going with Reboot.

Action. Too many reasons to name: Confident Leader, deceptively smart, sexy and manipulative. Bring that Dreamy back.

Can it be DEAD? That's how I like Karate Kid. If not, then 3boot. Or Countdown. Or whatever.

If it were up to Giffen, this vote would be for 'dead, deader, or deadest'.
Thankfully, it's not.
Action Val was resurrected from the dead through means yet unrevealed, only to be killed again in COUNTDOWN. Will that stand? Will the same version be re-resurrected?
We don't know. A vote for Action KK would be a vote for such a plot twist.
Reboot: We didn't get to know this version of Val all that well. He's the most calm and collected. And he can swat Daxamites from the sky. And hear heartbeats from five miles away. When the reboot ended, Val had struck up an interesting possible relationship with the Persuader's Daughter. I'd like to see that explored.
Threeboot: Dated Shadow Lass in the past. Has or had a crush on Phantom Girl. Recently spent the night with Light Lass (to glowing reviews). Trained Ultra Boy. More hotheaded than reboot, a focused leader. Currently disappeared in mysterious bubble with Triplicate Girl.
I'm going with Threeboot. More than any version, he's fulfilling the role I like best for Karate Kid. That of combat tutor for other Legionnaires. I liked his focus as leader of the most recent team mission, too. Though he gets points off for abandoning it, those points might be 'earned' back depending on the nature of his new mission.

I'm gonna go with Classic/Action because I loved his costume, his relationship with Jeckie, his noble spirit and his dramatic death. Wouldn't mind at all if he were not-dead again.

Yikes!! I am behind the votes!! okay time to catch up - Element Lad - Reboot - I may be in the minority - because I was waiting for a long time that the writer to make him the most powerful member of the Legion ever! Finally DnA came on and made him the most powerful member as I have always believed and speculated that Element Lad would someday be like that. Although I was saddened by his turning into a villain and an exaggerated death (don't know if he will appear in L3W). Despite his early appearance as spacey guy...I am still voting for him. Light Lass - Pulse, Spark, Gossamer, Lightning Lad, etc...geez she is the only one I know who has more code names than any heroes and villains together....perhaps that is why she is the most endearing Legion character than anyone - equally interesting in all three versions - spunky, smart, spiritual, savvy...she was at the best when she and Vi were together. I was so mad that Geoff Johns did not make her stay with Vi in Action series...instead of that, he put her back together with Timber Wolf! argh! meaning no gays in the Legion in the future? that's only thing I am very disappointed. Anyway, as for the voting, hmmm...I like 3boot the most. Tough call. Dream Girl - again, similar to Ayla...alluring and smart. I like threeboot the best. Karate Kid - Action or reboot...either holds an admiration from me...action KK had his own series which I liked. I vote.....Reboot. now I am catching up!
