I really like Brin's personality, too. He's changed a LOT.

At first he was kinda quiet and sad. He spent most of his time with Ayla. He had his lotus fruit addiction, which I know messed with his Zuunium treatments.

He got all feral somehow, but it seemed to wake him up. He was more active, more intense, more passionate.

He got rather serious again, and complained of pain and of wanting to be alone again.

Then he got his surgery to restore his human features. He was happy, enjoying his Legion buddies and splitting from Ayla.

He got a bit goofy then, hanging with Blok a lot, being a little like the clueless type.

He honored his friend Val's request on Lythl. Felt good about that. Started dating again.

Went into a good zone with the Legion.

Then we move into 5YL and he changed even more. At that point, he wasn't Brin anymore. Not really.

I find that Timber Wolf works best when - as in the Levitz era, or under DnA - he's a bit of a doofus.

I actually don't like the doofus portrayal of TW at all. I actually think he should be one of the smarter Legionnaires.

What defines the character for me is the conflict between loner/pack instincts. On the one hand, he embraces the Legion as his family; on the other hand there is a constant feeling of alienation, like he doesn't quite fit in.

My favorite characterization of Brin was during DnAs run, when he's , altwith his pack and protecting Tinya/Cub.
I also liked his 'angst' during the TMK era.

I never think of him as a doofus, either although he's sometimes been portrayed as clueless.

That's more Jo 'the Jocks' stick ~ either real or pretend.

Cham's changed a lot over the years, powerwise, really.
And it's usually
confused .

To me, Giselle seemed to be a total knock-off of Timber Wolf's abilities, and probably his soon-to-be replacement in issue #52 or #53. (Not holding breath to ever see that, however...)

As far as duplication of powers in the Legion, there are quite a few, but how large of a Legion could you possible have if everyone's had to be totally distinct from all others? The numerous Kryptonian/Daxamite heroes always bothered me a little (except in the large group battles) because they can easily dominate the remaining members, but otherwise I think a small overlap lends itself to some interesting scenarios (how heroes with similar strengths react in different ways to a situation - Superboy vs Wildfire was classic) and team cohesion.

They just do it to annoy me. [scowl]

And as long as I'm facilitating the descent into free-form griping, I also hate it when she-Durlans are depicted as having hair.

Point taken. But just keep this thread on topic, its my 'beef' that Timber Wolf brings nothing different to the Legion powerwise. I know someone here said to the effect that Brin had 'super-acrobatics,' which sounds cheesy even for me who loves all things Silver Age. With the case of Gazelle, her specific power was conscious metabolic control, meaning she can heighten her physicality and lower it to a death-like state. So she's reasonably distinct powerwise. Just needs a new codename.
