Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Legoin election...Legion Academy Series!!!

You've convinced me, Matthew. I was torn between Ayla and Tinya. Your arguments make sense. Count me in PG column.

Have they put the election rules out yet?

If they allow write-ins, we could always vote for Condo or Lyle. That way, they would have to bring them back.

The voting is via a url so I suspect it will be voting buttons which means no write ins and I can't vote for Night Girl.

You're probably right.

Alas.

I will definitely vote for a girl who has not held the office yet. Not sure which one yet. Would love to vote for White Witch, but I don't suppose she's eligible.


Would also love to vote for Duplicate Damsel. She could assign several mission teams and then accompany each one of them. Unfortunately, I don't suppose she's eligible either.

If it turns out that I can't vote for Tenzil, my vote will most likely go to either Phantom Girl or Tyroc.

Phantom Girl because she's one of the early members who've never been leader, and I'd like to see how she handles it.

Tyroc because well.. I really want to see him shine!

I'll probably vote as I've always done in leader elections: for Mon-el.

I like the way Levitz writes him and I wish he'd use him more. Being leader would force his hand in the matter. A term at the fore-front of LSH would also go a long way to wash the taste of Robinson's run with Lar out of my mouth.

Not that I wouldn't dig Tinya as leader too.

legion academy...Dare I hope for Laurel Kent to be there!!! dare I! dare I!

oh now rhino Tinya's had personality...

Snobby, Bitchy, Toward Blok and Timber Wolf

Lovey devoted towards Ultra Boy

Gossipy Co-Cheerleader like with Shady

If Sensor Girl exposes Earth Man as a phoney/villian (as I hope she will) then she will get my vote.

I'm not sold on Phantom Girl as leader though. Luornu deserves it more than her, IMO.
As Deputy Leader Tinya could "get her feet wet" and then maybe see if full leadership is something she wants, or can handle.

We don't really know it's a guy. Red herrings are replete on comic cover advance teasers, and a female form could easily fit into the blacked out space.
The second statement I can agree with.
The third I can hope for.

Phil Jimenez did an interview a couple days ago about his Legion work:

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=28889

Lots of great info!

- 15 page back-up in Legion #6
- Nightwind, Lamprey and Crystal Kid
- Plenty of new students Jimenez is designing
- "Duplicate Girl"? Maybe that's a mistake... though I kinda like it better than Duplicate Damsel

I'm very excited for next week!

^ The part that seemes like a mistake to me was "their teacher, Cosmic Boy". Huh?!? He must have meant Bouncing Boy right? Unless Chuck has kicked Rokk out of the Legion and taken his place. That would be pretty cool.

Mandalla!?!? Westerner!?!? cool!! I really somehow wish that Phil would consider some of Steve Lightle's creations such as two flying Pisces fish, the red tigress, etc.

Yeah it sound like maybe Phil was getting a bit too excited talking about his gig with the Legion and Paul and got all mixed up.
Unless hmmm.... OMG .... NO, it CAN'T be .... Rokk has stepped down as leader and so has time now to teach and shape the minds and powers of the future generation of Legionnaires!!???

Nah, I'm wrong.

There might be some precedent with the fact that Cos was briefly the leader of the Academy-based Legion of Substitute-Heroes team...

I actually hope that was what's happening...and not a mistake. Lu, Chuck and Rokk with the Academy would be cool.

Isn't there supposed to be some momentous decision Cos is to make soon? If so, could this not be it?

It all fits. As would Comet Queen as the "long time Academy fan favorite".

^ She's definitely the fan-favourite... unfortunately. She's not this fan's favourite. I'm not gonna let that spoil my excitement for this series though.

I still cannot believe we are getting a Legion Academy series(!) drawn by a top-tier, A-list talent like Phil Jiminez(!). It almost seems like an April Fool's joke. So excited.

Comet Queen's name seemed conspicuous by it's absence, but I had no idea she was a fan favorite.

I kinda projected my dislike for the character on to everybody else, I guess...

Laurel Kent and Nightwind seem the two most commonly mentioned.

Comet Queen was never my personal favourite either.
I'm not sure where the allegation of her being a top favourite came from anyway!?
I much prefer seeing Power Boy and/or Laurel Kent take the spotlight in this new series.

I was kind of wishing Laurel Kent was the returning fan favorite myself.

Wasn't Laurel a Manhunter? I'm hoping this has been dropped from continuity. Although with the announcement that no descendants from Supes or Bats will be featured, I'm not gonna bet on her showing up.


If she does show up maybe she's a relative of Kon el. and here's hoping we get Kono and Kent Shakespeare.
