Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Random LSH panel discussion

I'm picturing Rhino from the movie Bolt saying "Rhino is awesome!!!"

Set -

Those were the first of the mutant kids stories, weren't they?
She wrote more of those under various 'Pegasus' titles, I think.
I love Le Guin and Norton, too.

Norton was fun when I was a child because she wrote a lot about people/girls and animals with powers.

With McCaffrey, I love her Dragons, especially the Dragon Singer stories.
You should read them, and then write a Legion of Dragon Riders story!

Jo (Emerald Dragon), Val (son of the Black Dragon) and Xiao (Dragonmage) kinda have a dragon-rider theme going on already. That could be interesting.

Add in some other stuff, like Tasmia speaking to a shadowy dragon deep below Talokk VIII and challenging it to learn it's ability to breath forth clouds of darkness, and you could probably squeak a few other Legionnaires into that theme.

(Of all the Legion femmes, Jeckie, Tasmia and Mysa have the most mystical feel, and, IMO, would work best with draconic imagery. I could make Saturn Girl or Dawnstar work as well, but it might feel a bit forced. Violet, Tinya and Lu, I got nothing.)

But no, I save Dragon Legion for someone else. I have enough plot bunnies breeding in my head!

So, back on topic, that white collar thing on Vi's neck looks like a bandage.

Was Mon like totally giving her a super-hickie?

Was she attacked by a vampire?

I love the Dragonriders of Pern books (The White Dragon's my favorite) and always thought a rider/dragon pair would be fun in the Legion, popping into the LSHs reality from between.

Hmm- which would be the Legionnaire- the dragon or the rider?

Set- McCaffrey's dragons aren't mystical in nature at *all* and, in fact, are one of the best examples of the depiction of the biological life cycle of a 'fantastic animal'.

I also thought a matrix worker from Marion Zimmer Bradley's DARKOVER series, a 'goblin' from the PLIOCINE EXILE series by Julian May and, more recently a Knight Aeris, Flora, or Pisces from the Codex Alera series would make good LSH candidates, if all fictional realms could crossover into the 31st century DCU.

Hey- Sherlock Holmes appeared in BATMAN, so why not?

Oh, I know, I've read the first couple trilogies, but visually, I think the more 'mystical' Legion ladies would look best on dragon-back, visually.

In the Pern series, it's the ones with Telepathy and Empathy who are able to impress.

The Dragon Singers impress the little, original dragons, before they were genetically enlarged by humans.

Almost anyone could impress them.
And they wouldn't be so disruptive to the Legion concept.

I would have given the early Vi a small fair that would give her some self-esteem, a pair of greens, a brown and a blue.

Then, maybe, Lar would flirt with HER!

I kinda like Ayla's poufy hair there.

Ultra Boy's hair, on the other hand, ick, he looks like the lead singer of Creed...

Just proof that teens in any era can be asses.

And we laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed!

Now that's just mean.

I would think they would insulate the entire clubhouse against "monitor-snooping".

There's no one more likely to roll their eyes and laugh at you behind your back, usually so you can hear them, then teenage girls.
sigh

They're kinda cute though.
The three of them rarely looked better in that era.

Is it really them or aliens?

In my experience teenage girls are the most scariest thing in the world.

I learned this back when I was a teenager, and am currently reminded as a father.

and

That's really them! They were pretending to fall for Jimmy to help him impress Lucy Lane!

Jimmy's being kind of bossy ... Dirk and Jo should've dropped him off in the stone age ...

Yeah, the girls were actually trying to help...in their own weird Mean Girls way...one thing I'll say for Silver Age DC, as much as it made EVERYONE really horrible people a lot of the time, that kind of fits teenagers interacting..

Those three girls look like they belong to the IBTC (the only defense that teenaged boys have against teenaged girls).

I guess this was before Shady... the personalities seem much more like Tinya and Tasmia than Ayla and Imra

It occurs to me that Jimmy is in an awful big hurry to get away from his adoring female fans, now that his elasticity serum has worn off...

Indeed.

If there isn't a Legion by-law about using your super-elasticity to impress the ladies, there should be!

A rare Imra as part of the girls moment! Only when its in the service of Superman or his Pal, I guess.

They probably all secretly like monitor-snooping.

Anyway, I'm betting that saferoom is actually the ladies' bathroom.
