Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Recent Legion-verse sightings in DCU proper

If nominated, I will not run, if elected I will not serve.

I think I heard that somewhere.

You should at least agree to naked-thumb wrestle* Set for the Leader spot before you withdraw from the race. That's the kind of spectacle that always brings in the paying crowds.

*<span style="font-size: 11px;">Only your thumbs have to be naked. You can keep the rest covered if you want.</span>

What about the other guy?

Well, it wouldn't be a fair fight if only one person's thumbs were au naturel, would it?

Can't we just shoot each other like they did in the olden days?

Only with Super-Soakers.

So I bought this M80 off of eBay for nothing?!

Oh well, I guess I can save it for brother's report card day if he gets a bad grade in Spanish.

I always thought the Espionage Squad could include whoever Cham (or Lyle or Jacques or probably Tinya or Vi, too) decided was needed for a mission. Ayla and Shady and Luornu have been members for a mission here and there, though I wouldn't think of them as full-fledged Espionage Squadders. Well, maybe Lu.

So, I don't think that these are necessarily the 'new' Legion Espionage Squad members. Though Jeckie and Tellus would make perfect additions. This Jan's got that detective streak, remember. Personal attainments/talents other than powers might be reasons to induct a Legionnaire. Who knows how Tenzil's developed in this timeline since the last time 'we' knew him? That would be- what- just after he was cured of his madness?

And Quislet always did go wherever he wanted. I can well imagine him just showing up and announcing "I'm in the Squad, too!" out of the blue.

Tyroc and Dream Girl are still missing, I see. At least from the cover and from the end of Superman's most recent issue.

No one's mentioned Cham's uniform, I don't think. I like what we can see of it on that last page. It harkens back to his ADVENTURE uniform quite a bit.

Matter-Eater Lad has apparently changed his shirt between issues.

Sensor Girl... oy. From the neck down, it's OK. Even the boob window (I prefer peekaboob)- this *is* Projectra after all.

One of the following elements could stay-- high collar, mask, crown. The rest have got to go.

Not fond of the blonde hair, either. Have we seen Jeckie in this version with her head bare, wearing her hair naturally? I don't have a memory as to its length or style. I think she should go with that. Unless there's some reason we don't know about to preserve her anonymity when with the LSH. Which wouldn't apply in the 21st century, anyway. Or at least not without a heck of a story behind.

Sensor Girl: the whole uniform is a tremendous step down for me, distractingly so. The boob window beyond stupid.

For Jeckie - Remover the mask and cover the boob window and it might be passable. The tiara thingie might be okay if it wasn't for the mask.

No news is good news?

I like it. I've always preferred to see costumes that are uncomplicated and that don't leave acres of skin exposed-- no matter who's wearing them. The colors are good, too.

yeah especially With Tyroc and Dream Girl....

I like Chams new outfit at this point...from what we've seen. Practical, functional, and looks like clothing more than sprayed on latex.

You realise there's a few weeks between the two scenes you mentioned?
Between the Legion revealing themselves and Superboy showing up, it's mentioned that Mon joins the Justice League.

Huh. Dream Girl has always been one of my favorite characters. I have no idea whether Levitz has any plans for Tyroc, but it would be cool if he did. I always thought the character had a lot of potential, and that the explanation that voice powers don't make for good writing in a soundless medium was... pretty damn silly.

Anyone notice the name of the Gotham City art dealer murdered by an Azrael in the Batman titles? One Leland MacCauley...

Discussed in this very thread

Jeckie's costume changed in the weeks after their reveal to Lar.

In the Smallville meeting, she has red sleeves and forearm gloves. The cape collar is smaller and those garter looking discs on her thighs are a silvery blue rather than gold. The area on her chest looks different, too. It's black rather than white.

I personally, like the crown but I don't see why she would have it if she's still hiding her identity as Projectra for her power's sake.
Don't hide it and then allude to it, at the same time.

I've ALWAYS hated the red and white mask, all the way back to when she originally had it.
Her mouth and chin should be uncovered, at the very least, imo.

The main problem with Tyroc was the deux ex machina aspect of his power. Banshee of the X-men also had sound based powers and seems a little bit more believable, at least to me. Ditto Black Canary's canary cry.

I agree, Quis. But a skilled writer can "power down" the character to avoid that kind of problem. Happens all the time.

well Tyroc was pretty written well somehow just before the Zero Hour....too bad they did not spotlight his last showcase.

just like Mysa as Jewel where she said "final farewell and being free of Mordru.".

If Tyroc's powers were transitioned from purely sonic screams to more vibrational manipulations, it would make sense that he could generate a 'sonic' attack that set something on fire, or caused it to freeze solid, or made it explode into little pieces, by running up and down the vibrational frequencies until he hit the right tone or whatever.

But he'd still be not very useful in space.

Technically, Polar Boy's ability to generate intense cold and freeze moisture in the air should be equally useless in space, and Sun Boy shouldn't be able to generate flame, with nothing to burn in the interstellar vacuum (and I suspect that Lightning Lad might not be able to fling lightning without atmosphere to contain the ion trail, and we won't even get into how useless Cosmic Boy would be in a future were 99% of the local materials aren't ferromagnetic...), but it seems that the Legionnaire's powers generally just 'work in space,' whether they should or not.

Actually, I'd be fine with one or more Legionnaires being unable to use their powers in space. It's about time that Saturn Girl got company in the 'crap, it's robots, I wish I had a gun!' sub-Legion of characters whose powers don't *always* work.

Fighting in space really isn't something that the Legion does very often, anyway.
They mostly just travel through it from one place to another.

I think sound manipulation is a wonderful power.
Supergirl stopped seismic powers with a whistle and Conner called Krypto with one.

Heck, my TOOTHBRUSH knocks the cilia/flagella off the bacteria in my mouth.

They've had sonic showers on Star Trek for ages.

A lot of things can be done with sound without having the power level be on a Blackbolt level.
