frown Yeah, Zoe's telekinesis could have opened up those acid pipes, and Gim wouldn't have had to have sacrificed himself.

I'm still hoping that her last line in Legion of 3 Worlds - "Leviathan?" - meant she saw him in her final moments. And that they live on as a pair of ghosts, like Ralph and Sue Dibny.

Or that her powers plus Prime's heat vision opened up a wormhole that shunted her to a parallel universe where Leviathan is alive and well, and they're just waiting for their teammates to chance upon their reality.

Was that her last line? I'd forgotten that. Kinda weird that Geoff Johns would just throw that line in there like that. In the last few pages of the book he just created a whole new story that's begging to be told.

I loved Lo3W (and Superman & the Legion) so I really would have liked to see Johns carry on telling stories about the team - and then maybe we would have gotten a resolution to that Zoe/Gim sub-plot? So long as all reference to Zoe's hyper-taxis form were dropped and never mentioned again. Talk about character-ruination! I've never seen writers screw up a character as badly as DnA did with her and that development.

I liked Johns' work on JSA, so I would have loved to see him take a crack at the Postboot Legion. I agree, that "throwaway" line generated so much buzz.

Leviathan was a character who wasn't totally likable personality-wise (his picking on Gates and Star Boy was understandable, but a little annoying; he was loyal but a bit of a bully - see Chameleon), but he was flawed AND interesting. He wasn't my favorite, but he did add lots of flavor to that era. No offense meant laugh

And I agree 100% on Kinetix! DNA took away her personality, which was probably the best thing about her character. Second best was her unique look and love for fashion. All gone because of Hypertaxis. I wouldn't have minded so much if her transformation had only been temporary, but... And it's a shame, DNA showed they could write Zoe's personality well.

I have a feeling that the Hypertaxis effect will have been spent by the time Zoe is sucked out of Mysa.

55 Legionnaires remain. Postboot jumps again, this time to 44% of the game. 25% is now the Preboot, 13% is the Retroboot, 9% is the Glorithverse, 5% is Superboy's Legion, and 4% is Batch SW6.

This time, we're voting for 1/5th of the game to leave! That's right - vote for 11 Legionnaires to go and we'll eliminate that many. The round will end early Sunday, October 9th EST.

Alas, poor Zoe... Kinetix frown

Good for Blacula, though - Leviathan escapes another round!

I wonder where Reboot is? It's not like him to miss a round.

So Future... are we voting people back in any time soon? tongue

As usual, I was waiting till the end to try and pick my battles. Unusually, I fell asleep before I could vote smile . At least we only lost three.

[It nearly happened once before, but that time Future was *really* late in totting up the votes and I still made it in under the wire wink ]


My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I admire your dedication, good sir!

And if it makes you feel a bit better, I checked the voting totals. Your votes wouldn't have saved Kinetix or Element Lad - only way would have been to sacrifice Andromeda, Shikari and Brainiac 5.

And yeah, Postboot still going strong. High five!

I would suggest that if we do, it should only include characters eliminated SINCE the last vote-back round, not everyone!

Originally I was going to, but with how long the game will go on for I've decided to just leave it as is.
