Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! The Gim Allon Support Thread!

I've been posting in Blacula's Gim-support threads for as long as I can remember--I've demanded Gim and Dirk back for some time!

I can't wait to see Gim in the new series, he looks like he's going to kick ass! Space-rawking indeed!

The only time I liked Gim was in the 5YG, when he becomes an SP. That really seemed more in character with his personality. Gim always seemed to me to be a soldier more than a super hero, and that wasn't always a bad thing. I haven't read post-boot yet, as I am building an entire run from LSH # 1 (Levitz-Giffen) to the present. I hope to have it done by Jan.1.

Also, he seemed to be portrayed as being of French descent, so it would be a hard G, I believe.

I also went with the soft "g" in Gim. As for "Ayla"...ok, maybe I'd better skip that one.

Gim and Dirk were fairly good friends in the preboot, right? I know there were about four of them who played D&D (these two, Cham, and Thom), but I thought these two stuck together. But I might be *gulp* misremembering.

Funnily enough, i always pronounced it like the g used in 'gimme'. so, instead of it sounding like JIM allon, it sounds like gim allon.
