This was a very interesting game. I had no idea the postboot still had so many fans around here.
I think it's testament to the fact that one of the postboot's greatest strengths was its focus on characterisation that these three are left.
Two totally new, very interesting and instantly classic characters and one superb polish of an already very good but long ignored pre-existing character.
I love the preboot and (most of) the postboot equally but these three are in my top 5 of all Legion characters ever.
It's hard to choose one above the others but I have to go with the headband so -
1. Gates
2. XS

I was rooting for Cos as well... Anyways, I'll vote for just one:
Invisible Kid (Postboot) - I liked him, but thought he was too "white bread" (and I don't mean that in a racial way) during the postboot. I'd be happy with either XS or Gates to win.
Exnihil: Novelty, if he had a power, the obvious one to me would of course be "The Power of Grayskull"

I actually would have been happy with any Legionnaire winning from the last five rounds or so. I'm 100% happy with who looks to be the winner even though I'm voting against them. I owe Jenni. Without her, I wouldn't be a Legion fan.
Gates
Invisible Kid
As for votes, it's fine if you want to post just one. But I rather you hold off on posting over editing a second in. The reason being, much like previous rounds, is that I tally votes as we go. And even when I hold off and do it all at once, people have slipped changes in before I got the post up and gotten in a huff about it. So to avoid confusion and reworking that could happen either way, I prefer people to stand by their posts once they post them.

I'm only going to put in that one vote. I'm not going to vote for a 2nd person...

Well, it's fairly clear Lyle is going to win now, so I feel alright voting against him. Lyle (postboot) & Gates are two of my top three male Legionnaires [Cos (postboot, natch), being the third; with Spark, Umbra & Triad being the female top three in no particular order - I was really quite annoyed the round Ayla went out on a (particularly narrow, IIRC) tie-break]. Jenni's not one of my favourites, and while I most want Gates to win from the three finalists, I'm happy enough with Lyle. So, the votes:
Invisible Kid (Postboot)
XS (Postboot)

And we have a winner!
With 9 votes against her, XS takes third place. 8 votes leave Gates in second place. Our Legion of Three Worlds Survivor is ... Invisible Kid (Postboot)! He only had 5 votes against him this round and 21 previous round votes.
I hope everyone has had fun, even though this game took time and we had some missteps. I like the insights we learn from such games about characters in the fandom eyes (from who remains or how long/short their stay is).
Would people be opposed to other survivor games in the future? Let me know.
Novelty had a great idea for perhaps taking this concept a step further, and voting for which iteration of each Legionnaire was our favorite (Adv era, v2-v3 preboot, TMK, SW6, Reboot, Threeboot, Toon, Elseworlds, etc). Each round would include a different Legionnaire. Let me know what you think about that.
Thank you all for playing!

Firstly - Yay, Postboot, Zero Hour, PMS, Archie Legion, whatever you call it victory.
As to continuing this game for different versions of each character, I'm whole heartedly in support of it. I'd suggest going in the order of membership based on preboot, then characters introduced postboot, then threeboot (are there any new 3boot chars), then anim. I'd be willing to help with the organisation of such a task.
The other things I'd suggest is that the end of each "round", the next character is picked and everyone gets to add their suggestions so that we have all possible versions of the character before the round for that character (aka next round) starts.
Exnihil: Novelty, if he had a power, the obvious one to me would of course be "The Power of Grayskull"

wow, I am sorry I missed this game! It looks like it was really interesting.
I'm surprised no version of Brainiac 5 made the top 10, but I'm pleased that Postboot Legionnaires did so well.
Go XS,Gates and Lyle! I very pleasantly surprised to see a top 3 of all Postboot Legionnaires.
Great job, Future!
