Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Vote early, Vote often!

I voted for the underdog.

That's not a very nice way of describing Timber Wolf!

Close, but no.

Whoops. Counting Fail by me. Still seems lower than I remember though. I'd like to see some new (or old) females on this team but I'm not too keen on expanding the membership past the 25 limit (since we hardly get to see most of the members we do have) and am not keen on losing anyone. It's a catch-22.

Hey wow, I didn't even realise Garth and Imra weren't there! I guess they're off raising the kids? I'm okay with that.....I liked when Cos, Imra and Garth all took on senior advisor roles and left the active team way back when. I did notice no Star Boy, so I guess Thom is still in the 21st century?

I voted for Ayla. While I agree with the sentiment that Tinya has been around long enough she deserves it, I think Ayla has had way more interesting character development in all the Legion's incarnations, and I think she would organically make a really good leader without it feeling forced.

It kind of bugs me that we have Cham AND Yera in the team...I think making Yera an actual team member was a silly move. It's okay having two lightning wielders at the same time when half the team fire energy blasts of some description or another anyway, but having two shapeshifters kind of dilutes both of them IMO. I would much rather see Yera as support cast, or a reservist at best.

I'd actually like to see Night Girl and XS there in the place of Yera and Earth-Man if we're still sticking to the 25 member limit, and if we'd had Night Girl I totally would have given her my vote!

So, so far PL has dropped:
Blok
Bouncing Boy
Duplicate Damsel
Lightning Lad
Matter-Eater Lad
Night Girl
Saturn Girl
Starman/Boy
White/Black Witch
XS

Garth and Imra were shown as part of Cos' 26 on the monitor board in #4 but Yera wasn't, so even since then the roster has changed.

Of the dropped members only Tenzil, Blok and Mysa rated an on-panel mention. Sad.

OOOOooooo, I get to go vote now. I'm so excited! LOL
I'll be back to comment on my thoughts later.

Remember, the results will only impact things by at least issue #8 or 9 at the very earliest. I suspect you're looking at the roster Paul will have by then, so plenty of time for Garth and Imra to take a leave on-panel, etc.

I voted for Tinya.

Adding to what rouge said, Blok and Mysa were dropped by... Johns(?) - whoever it was that was writing the back-ups anyway. And Star Boy has been off this team and in the 21st century with the JSA for a looooonnng time now. So we can't actually blame Paul for any of those dismissals.

Well Thom still has a big question mark on his status, as he was with the others at the end of the New Krypton stuff but we never actually see them return, so we don't know who comes back and who doesn't. But as far as I know, Thom hasn't appeared in JSA or anywhere else in present-day DCU since then either.

i voted for Quislet...so it would be a very creative storyline if that happend...and yeah i think Thom's in the 31st century probably getting treatment for his schiopherina...that and Paul doesn't know what to do with him...yet...and i'm all in favor of them doing away with that team member limit...i understand its used to keep the writer from having to write for every person who could fill the legion...but there's nothing to say the whole team has to do every mission while everyone is present.

Back to the election, anyone have a list of leaders up until present? Seems like I should know where to go to find this, but haven't been able to so far.

thanks

Based on the list in the Encyclopedia Galactica forum:

Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl (2x)
Brainiac Five
Invisible Kid
Ultra Boy (1/2)
Karate Kid (1/2)
Mon-El (1/2)
Ultra Boy (1/2)
Mon-El
Wildfire
Lightning Lad
Dream Girl
Element Lad (2x)
Polar Boy
Sensor Girl
...
Cosmic Boy

I followed your advice as well EDE, Paul did say about the election, he wondered what the readers will do to him this time?

I can't think of anything better than electing his favorite Legionnaire, Tyroc!

How long has it been since there was an election that was decided by fan voting? Was there such an election during the reboot era, or am I remembering wrong?

There was one election during the reboot era, which Invisible Kid won. Before that it was Sensor Girl at the end of the Baxter era.

Ugg, I remember that Invisible Kid debacle. He was elected, then within mere issues resigned to run the Espionage Squad and let Saturn Girl take over. Huge cop-out from the writers there.

I voted for Sensor Girl. I'm proud of my decision!

I voted for Tyroc simply to give an underused Legionnaire some time.

i dont know who to vote for, i would vote for sensor girl but she has that hideous mask i do NOT want to see more of.

can't we see some platinum curls!

Interesting early reactions. Earth-man and Mon-El are getting the most action in the comments on the DCU Blog. Gates and Tinya are leading early over at Omnicrom's poll. Legion World Facebookers seem pretty split, but Gates has three mentions there.

I even sullied myself to check the DC Message boards and Shady has a lot of support, but lobbying for Gates continues there as well.

how are you guys voting twice i tried and was denied

I voted for Tinya!

I think this (as in all things) will come down to fashion. Which means Polar Boy will dramatically cast the deciding vote. As of right now the 25 members fall evenly into two camps:

SLEEVES:

Brainy
Cham
Colossal Boy
Cosmic Boy
Dawnstar
Earth-man
Element Lad
Mon-El
Shrinking Violet
Sun Boy
Tyroc
Wildfire

SLEEVELESS:

Chameleon Girl
Dream Girl
Gates
Invisible Kid
Lightning Lass
Phantom Girl
Quistlet
Sensor Girl
Shadow Lass
Tellus
Timber Wolf
Ultra Boy

With Polar Boy being half and half.

As long as each faction rallies behind one candidate, it will be down to Brek to decide if the future of the group favours the right to Bare Arms or not.
