Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Which Legion World would you like to be from?

Probably not my choice, but I've always had a strange fascination with Tharr.

Tharr seems a bit too hot for me. Someplace like Starhaven sounds nice. It depends whether or not you have to fly to get around.

Uranus!

Are you sure this counts, pervert?! Uranus has no natives and no one lives there.

It would depend a lot on what time and which "version" of the Legion... for example, I can think of some times I'd really really really not want to be on, say, the Moon...

But at its best, probably the future Earth. It seems to be a hub where people from all over the galaxy come--which means that like modern cities might have a Little Italy or a Chinatown, there would probably be enclaves of foreign species where I could go and try out some delicious alien food or buy some knickknacks. Technology and medical care available seem to be at least good if not excellent. Less crime than other major planets like Rimbor. If I really wanted to leave, then I'm sure there'd be ships landing and heading off to the edges of UP space all the time. And most importantly, I know how the bathrooms work on Earth.

But the pre-ZH Winath sounds really nice too. Good weather, farm lifestyle, lots of nudity... I could relax there for a while.

Actually, LSV member and co-daddy to Mekt Cosmic King was said to have been from Uranus in the Silver Age.

Actually it was Venus Lash, not Uranus.

Lovely and inviting as I'm sure Uranus is, Lash, I believe the Silver Age Cosmic King was actually from Venus; I seem to recall the panel where he reveals his newfound powers to his homeys and they banish him, saying, "We Venusians consider transmutation...Evil!"

Tho I may be wrong; this is from memory and my LSH books are currently boxed up as I'm in the process of moving.

There are human colonists on the moons of Uranus. They were known to use micro-disks as books. See Adventure #337.

Well, poo. No pun intended.

That's okay Lash. The memory is the first thing to go.

No I think Cosmic King was supposed to be from Venus in the Silver Age, He was exiled for transmuting elements which was considered a very crime.

Guess I should read to the end of a thread before posting

Jillikers! Now that we've established that Lash won't get to live out his transmuter-bigotry fantasies on Uranus, let's get back to the topic at hand!

Quit being so bossy!

There! I've started another topic about Uranus!

If the only thing it's famous for is micro-disks, I'll pass on Uranus.

Better to come from Colu. Then I'd be a whole lot smarter than I am now.

So how did Element Lad get a visa?

Actually, as I recall from WWitLSH, Element Lad had to have a special permit from the U.P. to even use his powers on Earth. Transmutation was apparently looked at with suspicion on many worlds.

Since when does playing with electron bonds cause nuclear reactions?

I don't think it was nuclear reactions which were the issue. If you recall, Tromians placed little value on gold because it was soft. Not so on Earth. A naive young Tromian could easily skew the market in a big way if there were a sudden influx of gold - or any other precious metal. If I had to guess, Tromians were probably socialists because there was no reason to barter for things that you could create on your own.

Looking at it this way, Trom does sound like an interesting place to live, but only if you're a native. Otherwise, despite my previous mention of Starhaven, I think Winath is the place to be.

The question is "Which world would you like to be from?", not "Which would you like to live on?"

You are free to assume you are a native.

Of course, in Trom's case, odds are pretty overwhelming that you'd have been killed by Roxxas if you were from there.

Ah, but you didn't say which era! I could be from Trom 100 years before Roxxas.

Anyway, Winath probably still wins out, though I don't know if I could stand having someone who insists on following me around everywhere I go.

Actually, that post wasn't related to the prior point about visas and suspicisions. I was looking further down, and whoever wrote the bit about his powers clearly did not have even the most basic understanding of chemistry.
