Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Legion Trivia 2

Thank you!

I am taking that as confirmation, BM. Ok, another easy one...who was the third Legion leader?

Invisible Kid?

Brainiac Five.

If we are counting terms separately, then Saturn Girl.

KK, I was counting terms separately, mostly because I can't rememeber who was leader after Imra - who was also the second leader. Take it, KK!

What gift did Supergirl give to the Ambassador of Taltar?

Hint: The Ambassador's name was Thora and she had a Liza Minnelli hair cut.

Hint #2: This was the first story where Vi had Gim's power. She refered to herself as "Colossal Girl."

A charm for her bracelet?

Yes! Go, Lance's realm.

OK, here we go...which Legionnaires have been in love with machines?

Pffft. Tough one. And it kind of depends on what your definition of 'love' is.

There was Brainy with his Supergirl robot, although he didn't know it was a robot.
Sun Boy and Laurel Kent, although I wouldn't call it love.
Do we count Light Lass first meeting Timber Wolf as the Karth Arn robot?
Dawnstar, if Wildfire counts as a machine, but I don't think he does.

I hope I'm not missing anything ridiculously obvious.

Actually, the only one I had in mind was the Brainy/Supergirl-bot romance. Making Laurel Kent a Manhunter is something I have tried to suppress, and I don't think the other 2 really count. Take it, Matt!

Oh! It's to me!

Okay.

Let's say there have been six in-continuity Legions over time:
- original pre-Crisis (up to COIE)
- post-Crisis (COIE up to where Mon-El takes out the Time Trapper a few issues into 5YL)
- Glorithverse (5YL up to Zero Hour)
- SW6 (from their release from the Dominion's chambers up to Zero Hour)
- reboot
- threeboot

There is a short list of Legionnaires who have been active members of all six of those Legions. Name them.

(There's one Legionnaire who I'm not sure whether to count him/her as an active member of one of the Legion versions. So what I figure is, I'll count any answer as correct that has all the other Legionnaires right, whether or not this Legionnaire is included. Does that make sense?)

Oh, and I'm not going to say yes-or-no to individual Legionnaires. You've either got the list entirely correct or not.

If this takes a while and you need a hint, I'll reveal how many Legionnaires we're talking about here. But not now.

If I understand the question right:

Chameleon Boy
Brainiac Five
Ultra Boy
Element Lad
Light Lass
Shrinking Violet

You seem to understand the question right. But your answer is not quite correct.

Saturn Girl
Cosmic Boy
Lightning Lad (by any other name...)
Phantom Girl
Triplicate Girl
Chameleon Boy
Colossal Boy
Invisible Kid
Brainiac 5
Ultra Boy
Star Boy
Light Lass
Shrinking Violet
Element Lad
Karate Kid
Projectra


I think that's it. And Mon-El was the other you were considering?

EDE's list was much closer than yours.

In fact, I was wondering whether to just give it to him, since the part where his list doesn't match mine rests on a very nice point, involving my definitions of the boundaries between different Legion versions and just when one can consider the Legion to be an active group at all. I think I'm on firm ground, though.

Cosmic Boy
Chameleon Boy/Chameleon
Brainiac 5
Ultra Boy
Shrinking Violet/LeVIathan/Atom Girl
Lightning Lass/Light Lass/Gossamer/Spark
Element Lad/Alchemist

That's right. (And Mon-El was the eighth; I don't think he was an active member of the 5YL Legion but there are those who do.)

There are those who think Mon-El was an active member of the 5YL Legion? I'd like to know their reasoning. While he occasionally appeared in the TMK issues, he certainly wasn't a member of Cham's and Rokk's team (didn't wear the jacket - and boy, there's a piece of Legion Merchandising I would have loved to see from DC Direct), and I don't think he appeared at ALL after Giffen left except the Jamm Bloodlines Annual and End of an Era.

In any case, it's my turn for a question:

Which member of the Legion was able to stop people from burning to death on Mercury?

I originally thought it was Shadow Lass (WOW!! I remember that nightgown thing she wore that 1st night while visiting Mercury), But although I couldn't readily locate my back issue copy, I remember Sun Boy having something to do with "saving the day" in that issue. Although I didn't start collecting until 1980, that was one of the issues that got me hooked!

Sorry, here's my question (hope it wasn't already asked) who said and to whom was it said..."At least I'm trying to get something Lightning Lad gave up voluntarily, how about you pal?"

Must have been Element Lad to Timber Wolf.
