Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! If instead of the White Out, how would you have...

resolved the SW6 and adult Legion mess? Just curious if any possible solution could have made sense and saved the Legion's 30 years of history and tradition.

I always believed the SW6 batch were brought into the series because the older, maimed Legion wasn't selling very well. Of course, the "creative" team couldn't resist whacking off a bunch of them for its shock value moment.

The best way I could see resolving the issue was to play the Time Trapper card and have one group sent away - either the SW6 back to the past (in a title called Legionnaires) or the adults moved forward in time (to a title called The New Omega Men). And nary would the two ever meet again.

That was Keith Giffen's plan from what I understand in some ways. I remember somewhere mentioned that he wanted the adult Legion to become the Omega Men.

I wouldn't have minded the kids being sent back in time. Their attitudes always felt much more 20th century than 30th century anyway.

I would've still merged the temporal duplicate, but continued the story using the merging like an Ian Karkull energy type excuse to keep the older Legionnaires youthful and vital!

I like your idea, EDE, but would it apply to characters like Computo, etc who didn't have a duplicate?

Some Legionnaires age, others don't?-- could be cool.

I like that new white-out that doesn't get all gummed up and stuff. I need good white-out 'cause I like, make lots of mistakes and stuff.

I like the idea of some merging (and staying youthful) and others going on to becoming something else. I can see Jo, Kent, Kono, and others moving on, while a reconstituted Legion could work on remaking the future.
