Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Pick a Legion team!

Ooops! Quasi-simulatneous posts at this hour! Who would have thunk it possible?

Ummm, let's see now....

Next: Lady Mysa has arrived on Legion World with urgent news; a large army of mythical creatures have assembled and are wreaking havoc at the edge of the UP. Mysa knows a spell that can stop them, but she needs help breaking into a mysterious temple on a remote planet for the mystical items stored there. Pick six Legionnaires to help Mysa, and six to stall and battle the creatures until she can prepare her spell.

Now let's see how I rework this....

Mysa's 6 Companions:

1. Phantom Girl ~ Obvious choice to help on this mission. She can phase in and see what's what.

2. Invisible Kid ~ Lyle's experience in espionage will be an asset as they attempt to find the mystical items.

3. Princess Projectra ~ has a bit of experience and knowledge in the mystical arts herself. Her illusions will come in helpful in confusing whatever mystical bad guys are guarding the items during the battle.

4. Karate Kid ~ Val goes where Jeckie goes and he's the powerhouse of the team. Magic based baddies depend on spells, not might, to fight so he'll be able to take them down before they know what hit them.

5. Element Lad ~ Many magic spells depend on ingredients. Change a few ingredients around and the spell becomes powerless.

6. Chemical King ~ His ability to control chemical reactions can provide a defense against some of the mystical attacks. Combined with Jan's alchemist powers they can provide a powerful one two punch. Also he can speed up everyone's metabolism and make them temporary powerhouses if needed.

The 6 Stallwarts ~ powerhouses all!

1. Mon-El ~ Who better to the lead the defense against an army but the Legion's premier powerhouse!

2. Ultra Boy

3. Wildfire

4. Lightning Lad

5. Cosmic Boy

6. Dragonmage ~ Okay maybe not as much of a powerhouse, but Mysa has trained him well and his magical powers will come in handy here.


Next Mission: A new form of the Plague is sweeping across the Earth, Xanthu, Lallor and other inhabited world and there is solid proof that the epidemic is intentional. Infectious Lass and her people have been accused of committing bio terrorism in retaliation for the isolation they have endured! Dr. Gym'll is the only one that can prove her (and their) innocence as well as find a cure. He will need a team of 6 heroes to accompany him on this medical quest across the universe. Who is selected to join this mission of mercy?

To go with DR. Gym'll:

Brainiac 5 - obvious choice, and sometimes you just shouldn't mess with the obvious

Invisible Kid - same as the above; besides, Lyle knows a lot about biology

Apparition - she'd be immune in her phantom form and she's good at calming crowds

Ultra Boy - just try and get him to stay behind. Besides, as long as he's invulnerable he'll be fine.

Wildfire - another Legionnaire who can't get sick, and he'd be great to have around in case some villains take advantage of the situation and make trouble

Kinetix - her telekinesis should keep her safe and she's there for the same reason Wildfire is.

Now for a more straightforward mission: The long-awaited postboot LSV has arrived! Pick six Legionnaires to face twenty-four of the toughest villains in the UP while waiting for reinforcements to arrive!

Apparition - infiltration and sneak attack purposes

Kid Quantum II - have to send in the powerhouses

Live Wire - whose lightning combined with transmutation powers will give the team some long-range force

M'Onel - logical choice, really

Saturn Girl - link everyone together in chaos and override enemy minds

Star Bpy - gravity powers to keep hordes of enemies in place

Next, now that we have these six Legionnaires in place, choose the six Legionnaires that will compromise the reinforcements against the LSV!

Mainly heavy-hitters going on the back-up mission.

Ultra Boy - Muscle head.

Wildfire - Heavy hitter with better range.

Superboy - Since Jarth's on the main team, I guess he'd be eligible.

Timber Wolf - For up close combat.

Spark - Another long range threat.

Umbra - While not really a heavy hitter, her shadows can blind and disorient the Super Villians and help the others round them up.

Next Mission: While the Legionnaires and the backup squad fight the LSV, pick six Legionnaires to defend Legion World against a covert attack by the LSV Espionage squad!

Linked missions. I like!

Invisible Kid - He should be prepared for any tricks the LSV's Espionage Squad might pull.

Shikari - I'd like to see any of the Squad memebrs try to get past her.

Chameleon - one of the best counters against enemy Imskians and Durlans

Gear - his ability to monitor LW's systems will be very helpful

Gates - to teleport to the site of any infiltration fast

Kinetix - this team's muscle; it's unlikely any of the LSV Espionage Squad members will be able to counter her powers

Next: While the original six and their reinforcements take on the LSV and the above six defend LW from the LSV Espionage Squad, pick six Legionnaires to guard UP president Winema Wazzo, her cabinet and RJ Brande from the LSV Assassination Squad!

This is getting tough! Gonna have to start calling in Cadets pretty soon!

Okay, to stop the Assassins:

Sensor - Her illusions can create a false set of targets for the Assassins to hunt.

Brainiac 5 - Force-shields!

Violet - She's the muscle of the team, and can also shrink to be sneaky!

Triad - Her ability to be in three places at once lets her guard multiple cabinet members at once.

Cosmic Boy - Magnetics would be good to pluck weapons out of the Assassins' hands.

Ferro - He can throw himself in front of the President and shield her from harm with his metallic body.

Next Mission: With most of the Legion busy fighting off the LSV who's going to handle the break in the Metropolis Hydro-Electric Dam? Pick a Legionnaire who's not busy and a team of five cadets, subs or other allies to repair the Dam!

LEGION OF THE DAM!!!!!!!
Who the heck isn't neck-deep in super-villains?

DREAMER had the sense to get out of the path of the coming LSV and went to save lives, bringing some cadets for on-the-job training.

COMET QUEEN has the speed to get to anyone trapped by the breaking dam, and could potentially have heat-related comet powers too

BABBAGE has the need to prove Roboticans care about humanity, the robotic sensors to find the areas cracking, and the strength to make a difference.

POLAR BOY might be timid, but his ice powers are a natural for containing water.

FLYING FOX has the moxy to save the day, if we only knew what he was capable of.

ANDROMEDA returns to add her mighty Daxmatie powers to the heavy lifting and welding efforts.


NEXT MISSION: Somewhere Over the Rainbow! Ulu Vakk needs the Legion! The brilliant young physicist (noted for his innovations in studying and inventions in radiance and light) needs a Legion team to help fend off an alien invasion. His latest invention - using light to cross dimensional barriers - worked, and now an invading fleet from Oz have come to Lupra. The scientist, whose exposure to the cross-dimensional barriers has given him unique abilities manipulating the frequency of light (ranging from simple color-alterations to total darkness to stunning light bursts to lasers), evacuated as many as he could before coming to the Legion. Pick 6 Legionnaires to go with the new Color Kid to fight Oz's Wicked Witch and Wizard and their armies of Munchkins and Flying Monkeys.

lol Andy about Flying Fox...

Ok, for this Legion of OZ....

White Witch - who else to go toe to toe with the Wicked Witch

Timber Wolf- Flying monkeys, whatever!

Wildfire- Munchkin, whatever!

Star Boy- Flying monkeys? where are they?

Quislet - just along for the ride...

Dream Girl- just cuz she wanted too

NEXT MISSION: Legion Forever!
All along the time stream, the timeline is being invaded by the forces of Glorith. To stop her, the Time Trapper must send a team of Legionnaires (former, present, and future and from any timeline/dimension) to battle her. Which TEN will form his team? Why will he chose them and who will lead them on this mission that will affect all their realities!

TEAM BREAKDOWN: 6 Legionnaires any era or team(duplication ok but give a reason), 1 Legion villain, 2 support staff/character, 2 cadets/reject/other heroes -You can pick from any version of the Legion or L.E.G.I.O.N (hint!) and from anyone even remotely associated with the Legion!

SW6 Valor:An inspiration for the Legion,brave and strong Valor stands by the Legion in any form
WaK Lightning Lad:Okay I just like the costume
Levitz Bouncing Boy:A true hero who uses strange powers and still conquers evil
Vril Dox II:The grand manipulator could play a large role as the not so good leader.
Post-boot Timber Wolf:The nose that knows.Fairly strong
Original Phantom Girl:Just to have a real rookie to the big guns
The rejects/cadets:
Post-boot Dragonmage:Just to have a jerk with cool powers
Pre-boot Polar Boy:A good leader but still learning to become a great hero
Support Staff/characters:
Post-boot Chuck Taine:Mechanic and the driver of the Bouncing Boy[/b]
Silver Age Marla:An observer of time-travel adventures also in charge of new recruits
Legion villian:
70's Calorie Queen:Just for that villian

Next mission:The SW6 Legionnaires only!The SW6 Legionnaires discover themselves in the new reboot world and are captured six escape to find help!Which six escape?

SW6ers:

APPARITION - she can easily slip away before they take her out

SHRINKING VIOLET - ditto

CHAMELEON - ditto, plus being the most experienced one of the group they'll need him to lead

DRAGONMAGE and SATURN GIRL; intially they're both captured, but Imra uses her telepathy to wake Dragonmage up and he uses his magic to get them both clear.

ANDROMEDA - they couldn't capture her, so she regroups with the others and they hatch a plan of action.

Next: The Legionnaires are all stuck in the timestream! Brainy has found a way to get them out using a combination of Kid Quantum's and XS' powers, but first they have to follow Shikari's trail and rescue her, because they'll need her pathfinding ability to get back home. They obviously can't bring too many along, so aside from Brainy, Jaz and Jenni, pick [b]three Legionnaires to come along. And remember, they don;t have any idea what it is they might face![/b]

Saving Private Shikari!

M'Onel: Having no idea what they're walking into, it's always a good idea to have someone like Lar along. He's versatile enough to handle nearly any situation they may face.

Cosmic Boy: A leader and natural tactician, Rokk's another one who would be good to have along regardless of the situation.

Wildfire: If Shikari's gone missing, just try to keep him from coming along to find her!

Next Mission: Funeral for a Friend. Monstress' remains are recovered from the Kwai Galaxy. Pick six Legionnaires to serve as pall bearers in Candi's Memorial Service.

Next Mission: Funeral for a Friend. Monstress' remains are recovered from the Kwai Galaxy. Pick six Legionnaires to serve as pall bearers in Candi's Memorial Service.

Kid Quantum & Star Boy as fellow Xanthuians
Umbra, Saturn Girl, Chameleon Boy, & Ultra Boy who were with her on that last misson.

Garth would want to but given his current appearance, stays away.

Next Misson: Pick six Legionnaires to form the core of a new Legion in another universe.

Starting over:

COSMIC BOY - we need him to lead the Legion to greatness yet again. He's done it twice before and I'm sure he can do it again.

SATURN GIRL - has traditionally served as a rallying force for the team and makes great backup for Cos. Her telepathy will also be essential.

LIVE WIRE - again, I'd rather not mess with the classics; he makes a great counterbalance to the other two founders and the Legion could always use an energy-caster.

BRAINIAC 5 - The Legion just wouldn;t be the same without him, and I think they wouldn't be half as successful without his brains.

M'ONEL - his power is a major asset and he'll be able to inspire all those other Legionnaires to join up that much faster, assuming the Valor legend survives

SHRINKING VIOLET - not so obvious (I wanted another gal to keep Imra company) but she can be the one to build the Espionage Squad from the ground up in this continuity. Besides Cham I personally feel she'd be the best choice. (sorry Tinya and Lu...)

Next: Pick the next six Legionnaires to join these six in their new Legion.

Just for the record I want to post MY next six...

CHAMELEON - to back Vi up in all those hush-hush matters, plus he's versatile and helps loosen the tension in the group

ELEMENT LAD - so the people of Trom get wiped out a few years earlier, but Jan's powers make him one of the most important Legionnaires ever

KINETIX - yes, I'm biased, but she does bring a lot of power and personality to the team and she deserves a second chance, sprock it!

TRIAD - our efficient friend gets brought back to the fold, and for good reason; she's the glue that helps hold the team together

XS - her speed is an asset (besides, M'Onel is the only other speedster on this team ) and she can help hold the team together too

GATES - I couldn't decide between Invisible KId and Apparition, so I came up with a sort of compromise - Gates may not be a scientific genius but he's a creative thinker whom I believe is a genius in his own right, and his teleportation can be just as useful as Tinya's phasing.

Special mentions:
Invisible Kid, Apparition, Bouncing Boy, Umbra and Ultra Boy

Actually IB, my idea was that 6 Legionnaires go off to start a whole new Legion, the others remain to continue the Legion in our universe.

So modifying the idea, here are the six Legion Powers the first six would look for in new Legionnaires:

1) Karate Kid style fighter
2) Polar Boy climate control
3) Kinetrix matter/energy manipulation
4) Gates teleportation ability
5) Dawnstar tracking ability
6) Blok type strength & invulnerability (can't have too much of those attributes)

New Mission:

You have won the "Hang with six Legionnaires" contest. Who do you pick to hang with?

Oops! My bad...

Hang time!

INVISIBLE KID - when I was in elementary school I always thought Lyle was the coolest!

KINETIX - You really think I'd give up this opportunity?

VIOLET - I have a thing for shy girls (even though they're a pain to get close to )

XS - she's just so fun and friendly!

KARATE KID - I could learn a few moves from him, and maybe we could go get some sushi or something

GATES - Think of what a fun conversation we would have!

Next: Glorith has attacked all the Legions from all time eras - and now they're all ten years old! Which six Legionnaires do you babysit while Rond Vidar looks for a cure?

You do realize you've just placed these children in the hands of a mad man?

BWA-HA-HA!!!



LEGION OF IMPERILED KIDS!

Imra Ardeen - she needs to learn to share, and she could use a spanking, especially BEFORE her mental powers grow to the point where she just fixes people's opinions and memories

Tasmia Malor - the original goth girl, just as brooding talking to shadows at 10... my favorite kind of kid - cynical, dry, smart

Drake Borroughs - he deserves some time in his own body, right? besides, if he acts up, i can always tell him "if you're not a good boy, you'll body will blow up when you get older!"

Lyle Norg - mischievous and bright, Lyle was probably a real fun 10 year old ... besides, i think it would be good for him to see (in a non-sexual way, of course) an adult gay man who is out and relatively sane, ambitious, all that stuff, just in case he's never seen it or been aware of his options

Reep Daggle - what are little durlans made of? probably a lot of xenophobia -- it would be cool for him to get a chance to hit it off with his buddies when he's 10 ... maybe make a friend

Troy Stewart - because i miss him, even if he already earned the nickname "cry of the devil" by his 10th birthday

How much trouble could they be? Did Rond lock the multi-lab? Oh... Um... what Computo? Not us. Nope.

Where is that Rond?

NEXT: Remember the Titans! The Titans??? A new planet is being investigated for entrance to the United Planets. Preliminary reports indicate astounding cultural and technological exchange potential, so every galactic empire wants to extend an invitation to New Tarturus (whether by hook or crook, some people). The people of New Tarturus lean towards Earth, as they worship and celebrate the ancient Earth myths about Titans (and insist the Titans are still with them). Send 6 Legionnaires who are familiar with the legends of the Titans (both Greek and 21st Century Heroes). Make it a good balance of diplomacy (for the official talks), physical prowess & skill (for the unofficial negotiations - the gladitorial games), and sneaky (to keep a cautious eye on the activities of the Khund, Dominion, Dark Circle, Farrion, Apokoliptian, Thanagarian, Otherdimensional, Lythyl, Lallor and Gil'Dishpan delegations).

Oooh, I like!

COSMIC BOY - 20th century history buff and THE diplomat of the Legion; if needed he can flex those muscles for the games too

SATURN GIRL - everything she needs to know about legends she can learn through telepathy, she's diplomatic (when she wants to be) and she can pick up any sneaky vibes from other delegations

KARATE KID - for the physical prowess; not sure how much he knows about 20th century myths but he's a fast learner, and he's already demonstrated he knows quite a bit about the Titans heroes

TRIAD - her triplication is a great asset here; she can study her history thrice as fast and her three selves can take turns competing at the games

VIOLET - she mentioned an ancient Imsk legend about the Medusa once, so she should be fairly familiar with mythology too. She's there for the espionage and as a backup for the games

INVISIBLE KID - he has a lot of knowledge stored up in his head, is a spy-extraordinare and can use some of that training for some of the games too, plus he's a skilled diplomat! What more do you want?

NEXT: Remember the supposed Vyrgan pandemic from the Ra's al Ghul arc which turned out to have been Ra's "butchering" Gates' people? Well, all the surviving Vyrgans have finally been returned home and the damage to their world fixed - but the battle's not over yet! Vyrga has joined with Cargg, Winath, Earth and several other UP worlds to smack Ra's with a big old galactic lawsuit for all the damage he's caused! Now, it might seem like a sure win, but remember that Ra's has a whole bunch of lawyers who've gotten him out of the stasis tubes before. Pick six Legionnaires to ensure that this lawsuit is won! Make it a mixture of good speakers, researchers, detectives, data organizers, and even some spywork if you want.

SPIDER GIRL... could give background info as a member of the Workforce. Either Brainy or Lyle could turn on the charm to sway her to their side.

DIRK MORGNA... could use the resources of his father's companies to ferret out corporate intrigue.

Oops! I left out Gates and Triad! Hmm... I like this six, though... so I'll say Gates and Lu presented conflicts of interest.

NEXT UP: Six villains have been accosting Legion teams on various missions... but only to engage their attention. It seems these villains have a just cause! Which six villains might've banded together for a 'noble' reason and which six Legionnaires would be sent to aid them, while simultaneously keeping eyes/antennae/minds open for any hint of duplicity?

The Beginning of the Legion of Reforming Villains?
They take on the informal group name of The Lightning Bolts and work together out of a common criminal past. Some do it for repentance; others need a specific mission, or even a place to belong. This time, they're heading to Antares to protect the Proteans from the Emerald Empress and her new Fatal 5 (consisting of Flare, Caress, Khundish teleporter Veilmist and Titania). The Lightning Bolts generally have 5 core members with a rotating 6th for missions (due to the often transient and necessarily discreet nature of the membership).

Lightning Lord - Mekt is the leader who banded weveryone together (he's a little embarassed that the other tease him by calling their group The Lightning Bolts). After intensive therapy, Mekt has acknolwedged his feelings of isolation and rage on Winath. He's trying to live up to the example of his siblings. A good, dependable leader - always on the lookout for his colleague's unique needs and temperaments, and considerably more soft-spoken, allowing actions to say it for him. He feels particularly strong about this mission, feeling like he owes the Proteans something.

Spider Girl - Sussa's been there from the start for Mekt. They're the best of friends, though her party girl exterior contrasts sharply with Mekt's stern quiet. But when you've been through as much as they have together, you learn to enjoy the differences and appreciate the history and trust. Though she's gone 'legal' (in the greyest possible sense - she hasn't been caught for anything), Spider Girl is still a master thief, and her whirling highly agile super-strong stretching hair ensures she always has the right tools: for attack, defense, infiltration, disguise or seduction.

Ron-Karr - potentially the most reluctant villain in the world, Ron-Karr is learning from Sussa and Mekt how to use his powers more effectively, including stretching his 2-d form and using body as a razor (similar to a paper cut); Ron-Karr's chief resource, his mind, helped him get an early parole by doing lots of repair work and even helping out on some new passive weaponry for prison guards; he's looking forward to learning more from the Proteans about shifting his shape

Silver Slasher - a beautiful whirlwind of metal singing through the air tearing apart anything in its path, the Slasher fights the psychotic rages the Dark Man brainwashed into her through Martian mental disciplines; her teacher, a mysterious hooded figure no one else has seen, arranged for her release into Mekt's custody; he must know a lot of people for that; Silver Slasher tries her best, not wanting to disappoint. For this mission, Slasher wants to try to reach Titania with sense or her extraordinary sharp strong fingers.

Calorie Queen - The brains behind the entire operation, Calorie Queen used her family's extensive UP connections to build this group up; her charm, enhanced strength and terrifying digestive abilities make her a flexible team player in any situation. A constant diplomat, Calorie Queen knows success with the Antares/Fatal 5 situation would be the perfect thing to handle the UP and Science Police doubters.

Persuader - The greatest mercenary in the galaxy, complete with his fiersome armor and devastating Atomic Axe. Though he appears slow, dense and brutal, Persuader is amazingly quick, a master in a many combat forms, and easily able to cut to the center of any problem. He's got an odd code of honor, and he's angry to be passed up as 6th or 7th choice from the Emerald Empress after all his loyalty. He's only there until the mission's over.


The Legionnaire Backups/Parole Officers:

Chameleon Boy is the leader of the espionage squad and easily able to scan the convicted felons for evidence of crimes, as well as being amazingly flexible in a fight. Besides, Reep has impeccable credentials with the Proteans.

Invisible Kid can follow perfectly, and he's got a wider notion of right/wrong, hero/villain than most of the Legionnaires so he could be impartial with the 'villains'.

Phantom Girl is a senior Legionnaire; she's seen more than most. Her powers lend themselves to following any lead, and seeing the way in-between supposedly fixed positions.

Ultra Boy is not letting Tinya go alone after these villains. Besides, his street smarts and ultra-energy powers are ideal for prying and big fights (whether with the ex-villains or with Antares' attackers).

Tellus might look scary and weird as a humongous floating lizard-fish, but his telepathy will give the most honest feedback about motivation and actions; in addition, he's about as non-judgmental as any Legionnaire gets, being in another species altogether from humans.

Blok is perfectly qualified to keep tabs on this group; he's a reformed criminal himself. His great strength and invulnerability will also serve the team well, in assistance or war.

NEXT MISSION: Running Labyrinth! There is a hidden world in every prison, the unseen Oz where prisoners and guards are in constant exchanges. At Labyrinth, it's gotten out of hand and word is out. The Science Police Chief wants to handle it subtly, but is unsure of how far the problem reaches and which staff and prisoners are involved (Universo alone could have the entire prison in his hand), so that leaves the Legion. Send in 2 Legionnaires to pretend to be guards, 2 to pretend to be inmates, and 2 to be maintenance/support staff. Tell us who the Legionnaires are and what part they've created for the mission. Be effective, discreet, and mindful of the dangers involved in Labyrinth (on every side of the fields).

Labyrinthine intruige:

ULTRA BOY - preboot Jo was a clever actor with lots of street smarts. He'd be perfect to play the part of the shady, amoral guard.

MAGNETIC KID - to play the part of the young, noble, somewhat naive cop; and while nobody suspects him, he's actually ferreting out some clues. He may be inexperienced but he should've learned enough from Rokk and the Academy by now to play his part effectively, plus Jo's secretly got his back.

CHAMELEON BOY - how could you leave him out of this one? Cham would make the perfect inmate, and the fact that he was once incarcerated in Takron-Galtos gives him an added bonus. Plus he can shapeshift when nobody's looking and play multiple parts as an inmate.

SHRINKING VIOLET - she's tough enough to carve out a niche for herself among the female inmates, and she can do a little sneaking around too. She's clever enough to play her role effectively.

BOUNCING BOY - gets called out of retirement to help out on this mission. Chuck's perfect as the maintenance guy because despite being friendly he's low-key - the type nobody would suspect is doing some sneaking around of his own, plus he's been out of the public eye long enough that he wouldn't need a disguise to be virtually unrecognizable

SATURN GIRL - not exactly one of those who easily fades into the background, but she can use her telepathy both to scan for sneaky thoughts and to give inquiring minds a gentle "push" to forget all about her being there

Next: Mordru awakens again! Once more, Lady Mysa has a plan, but she needs the Legion's help -this time finding a sacred spellbook lost in a dark, ancient mystical library, full off shelves and shelves and dusty old books. But these books are dangerous, and opening the wrong one could lead to disaster! What's more, the creepy old librarian is lurking somewhere in the library, and rumor has it that it ain't human! Pick six Legionnaires to accompany Mysa - four to help her find the book and two to corner and "persuade" our otherworldly librarian to give them the info they need. Be careful, though, cause the librarian's bite is definitely worse than its bark!

Dangerous Reading!
(a team made of Legionnaires we probably won't see for awhile)
Searching with Lady Mysa:
Kid Quantum is observant enough to keep an eye on Lady Mysa (who has never played it completely straight with the Legion before) and her all-purpose quantum bubbles give her the time and power to handle most situations.

XS might be a touch impatient, but her superspeed gives her the best chance at finding the needle in the haystack.

Shikari could find 'the way' to the correct spellback; her speed and fierceness will come in handy if there's any problems.

Gear can produce any mechanics from his body, including multiple eyes to cover as much of the library as possible.

Dealing With the Librarian Menace:
Sensor may hate her human/snake hybrid body, but her aggression, superstrength and mental abilities make her ideal to 'corner and persuade' any sentient.

Timberwolf is the rookie who took on the Fatal 5 successfully; his feral prowess and rough background make him a natural at intimidation tactics.

NEXT: Before the Crisis, There Was Earth-2! In the space between worlds, a Controller builds a new Omega. The Legion tries to attack the creature and the Controller, but fail. Dream Girl has a vision: another Legion is needed to prevent disaster! Dream Girl, White Witch, Projectra, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy hold a seance to open the gateway: 6 strangely familiar heroes step out. In the spirit of the Earth-1/Earth-2 nostalgiac-with-a-twist counterpart names, tell us who the 6 Earth-2 Legionnaires are and what they can do.

Strangely familiar, yet not at all!

Thunderbolt - is this a foreshadowing of the current Jarth situation? It seems that Earth-2's Garth also died and was resurrected after beating Zaryan the conqueror - but his body turned bright pink after his revival! He still has his old lightning powers, though.

Saturn Queen - on this Earth, Saturn Girl and Saturn Queen are one and the same! A shocking twist; but she combines Imra's telepathy with Eve's more dangerous super-hypnosis.

Magnetic Kid - it seems that on this Earth, Cosmic Boy was the Murran traitor and Murran spy Magnetic Kid was the original Braalian founder!

The Hag - this Earth's Mysa hasn't been restored to her youthful form yet.

Miss Terious - and on this Earth, the mysterious Miss Terious is a real sentient! But she's taking her time revealing her powers.

Pharoxx - and on this Earth, Jeckie is the villain and Pharoxx the hero. He has her illusion powers, though.

Next: Whoops! A warp hole has opened up in Metropolis! Ambush Bug is back, and he's brought Bugs Bunny and company with him! The whole Earth's been turned upside down by their antics! The Legion has a plan, but first they need to send [b]six Legionnaires to keep chaos from completely erupting on Earth, two to guard the Thresholds and make sure none of them reach Legion World, and six more to go through the warp hole and find the source of the problem![/b]

Here's the team I would pick:

Earth Control:

Kid Quantum II - her time powers may be the only ones which can work on those loony characters

Saturn Girl - their minds may be totally screwy, but she can still shut them down

M'Onel - should be invulnerable to falling anvils, exploding bombs and Martian ray guns

Sensor - even cartoon characters will be affected by her illusions

Star Boy - to counter falling anvils, plus his powers should be able to affect them

Live Wire - his new transmutation powers should help out a lot

Legion World Bouncers:
Gates - if anyone tries to get through he can teleport them back out

XS - to work in tandem with Gates; she can catch and hold them long enough for Gates to teleport them out of there

To Infinity and Beyond:
Shikari - to find the source and get the team back home again

Invisible Kid - a menace of this type needs a creative solution, and Lyle's the man for the job

Umbra - she's probably the only Legionnaire who could actually scare Bugs Bunny and co.

Chameleon - to tag along as a surprise weapon

Wildfire - anything and anyone he blasts probably won't die anyway; you know how cartoon characters are
