Chuck Taine grew up the eldest child of a large family, having six younger siblings, all hyperkinetic and more than his single parent could handle, leaving him all too often assigned to ‘wrangle’ the young ones and keep them in line.

It came as a great relief when he discovered his unusual ability to absorb and redirect kinetic energy in his close proximity, arresting the movement of one of his running siblings, and transferring the absorbed momentum into a blue rubber ball he kept handy, causing it to bounce wildly around the playroom.

When the last of his siblings finally reached the age of being sent off to school, he found himself at a loss for what to do with his own life, which, for so long, had been dedicated to helping his mother manage their family. Walking in the park, he saw an out of control airspeeder plummeting out of control into a play area, and without thinking, he attempted to draw upon the momentum of the speeder, causing it to halt in midair and settle slowly to the ground, but he couldn’t refocus the energy fast enough, and instead ‘bounced’ himself high into the air, transferring all of the downward momentum of the falling speeder into upward momentum for himself! It was exhilarating, at least until he ran out of momentum, and began falling back to the earth, but he stole his own downward momentum and transferred into the ground beneath him, seconds before impact, causing him to drop softly into a massive divot in the earth!

As Bouncing Boy, Chuck joined the Legion, where he uses his ability to stop villains in their tracks, dropping them from the sky, and transferring their own momentum to their allies, to toss them around like ragdolls!

Nice use of Bouncing Boy, Set!
I like how he's able to take the momentum to do it and able to transfer it to others as well.

Thanks! BB was one of the few Legionnaires we hadn't already done, and I always loved the 'transfer momentum' power, after seeing it put to such devastating use in the Squadron Supreme mini (where a young superhuman named Inertia transfered the kinetic energy from Hyperion's punches into his ally Power Princess during a fight, causing him to basically beat up his own teammate!).

It was also a totally kickass powerset in City of Heroes, used to drain momentum / movement from enemies and boost that of allies, the ultimate debuff / buff combo, and one of the only powersets where you didn't need to also take a travel power, since you could just steal the ability to move at superspeed, or 'superjump' by attacking an enemy and stealing their momentum!

[tangent]Inertia had an awesome powerset! Was such a waste that she was killed the way she was...off the top of my head I can't think of a single other character in Marvel or DC who has the same abilities....[/tangent]

Cool Bouncing Boy! I think he would be fun to see in combat, and we don't really have many Legionnaires with strong family connections so it would be interesting to see the Taine brood pop up as support cast

Evolvo Lad (Sev Tcheru of Inshar) has the ability to evolve various physical attributes. For example, a prehensile tail, claws, or fangs. His powers are actually quite similar to the Dupicate Boy of “our” Universe, but his powers evolve more gradually; it can take him several minutes to “evolve” Kryptonian-level strength, and he can work on evolving only one ability at a time.

Also, there is always a physical manifestation to his “evolutions”: if he “evolves” flight, he grows wings. If he “evolves” invulnerability, he grows hard, scaly skin. If he “evolves” telepathy or telekinesis, his brain and skull increase in size, and so forth.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Beast Boy (Ilshu Nor of Tartarus, scion of Evillo): Has the ability to bring any individual under his temporary mental control.
These “slaves” which he creates can be distinguished as under his control by a glowing red mark on their forehead similar to this:
_6_
6_6

He also has rapid healing powers.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Gas Girl (Tal Nahii of Phlon): She is a failed genetic experiment, created in an attempt to replicate Chemical King’s powers. Her mastery of psychocatalysis extends only to gases—but there, she is supreme.

She has the ability to alter the volume, temperature and pressure of any gas. For example, she can make air viscous, at least up to the point at which it begins to liquefy. She can draw out the air in a person’s lungs, or the dissolved oxygen out of their blood, or cause oxygen to move away from their immediate surroundings, leaving them only nitrogen to breathe. She can shatter poisonous gases into their molecular components, or create nitrous oxide (laughing gas) from elemental oxygen and nitrogen. She can concentrate the trace amounts of neon in the atmosphere, and then heat it to luminosity.

Naturally, her powers are more limited in the vacuum of space, where gas is present in concentrations of only about one proton per cubic meter.

Deep within the galactic core, hundreds of different species of energy life dwell within the burning plasma of millions of suns, a civilization older than the existence of corporeal life, and generally happily unconcerned with this, to them, recent development.

Located 50,000 light years from the galactic center, the solarian life forms within the suns of the various United Planets worlds, collectively known as the Sollusineeri, are, at best, a terribly backward and provincial set of rural bumpkins, by the standards of core galactic solarian civilization, and yet they still possess an understanding of energy physics, electromagnetic wave theory and stellar fusion that is millennia ahead of the inhabitants of the rocky planets that orbit their homes.

Preferring to travel between stars by converting themselves to pure energy and riding a transportation network of quasars, forming new ‘bodies’ of fusing hydrogen upon arriving at new stars, the Sollusineeri have little use for planetary life, and the Sollus explorer Zhrekt, aka ‘Sun Boy,’ is something of an eccentric among his people, having fashioned a stable ‘body’ of magnetically-contained stellar hydrogen, and ridden a freakishly extended (and artificially generated and sustained) ‘solar flare’ to visit earth itself, the source of so many interesting radio signals, that his people had generally regarded as ‘background noise,’ and ‘no proof of that preposterous theory of matter-based life.’

‘Sun Boy’ appears as a burning sphere of hydrogen gas, having reduced himself to one meter in diameter, the better to safely interact with ‘materials.’ His ‘body’ is nearly impervious to attack, able to withstand the energy output of his stellar home, or the empty void of space, and he can generate great intensities of light, heat, or various electromagnetic radiation wavelengths, communicating by radio, microwave or lightpulse, as appropriate. With a fluctuation of his fields, he can belch forth a plume of burning hydrogen as well, burning at temperatures sufficient to vaporize steel, although he prefers not to risk damage to ‘materials’ in this fashion, or to waste perfectly good hydrogen, which he needs to survive, the hydrogen in his ‘body’ serving a structural purpose much like the water in a human’s cells.

An explorer at heart, and a bit of an iconoclast by the standards of his own people, Sun Boy is enjoying his time among the materials, considering it something of a fairy tale holiday, among a form of life that the majority of his race doesn’t even acknowledge exists, let alone would consider sentient. His perusal of 31st century energy technology does confirm his people’s condescending opinion of the state of technology among the materials, but he is delighted to discover concepts of chemistry and materials fabrication technology that his own people, with their purely energy-based technology, would never have considered.

wow i didn't realize it was that many. lol.

But it seems still the girls are the ones we all remake.
There are two thunders, Saturn Girl has been done twice, and so has shrinking Violet.

thank you Klar Ken for posting that list!


lets keep them coming!!!!

Set i love your Sun Boy. great twist and he kind of reminds me of Quislet as well.

I had just made a list like Klar's, so that I could figure out what Legionnaires we were missing! (Hence Bouncing Boy and Sun Boy making appearances, being two of the longest lasting Legionnaires that we hadn't yet gotten around to reimagining.)

Still quite a few lying around to do. Chameleon Boy, Nemesis Kid, Karate Kid, Princess Projectra, Quantum Queen, Mon-El, Wildfire, Chemical King, Polar Boy, etc.

Wi Kan Muur was dubious as to why the mysterious stranger called the Dark Man was so willing to assist him and his friends in getting their revenge upon the Legion of Superheroes. He allowed the Dark Man to give him a super power even though it cost him the use of his legs. While the others absorbed in the bad deeds of the Legion in the training vids the Dark Man provided, Neutrax, as he was named, noticed that the Legion seemed to be trying to help while doing their "bad deeds".

They had managed to take out each of the Legionnaires that they had been sent after. Neutrax noticed also that th ordinary people did not seem to fear the Legionnaires, but seemed to admire them. Suddenly everything turned black, plants began to grow up and around them, it had gotten extremely cold, and yet he could feel the heat of a fire. The next thing he bacame aware of is coming to in a Science Police holding cell with a power dampener around his neck.

Wi was a model prisoner on Talkos-Galtos. Once there was an escape attempt and the power dampener was taken off him, but Wi turned on the other prisoners and stopped the escape. Shortly after that the Legionnaires Light Lass and Timber Wolf came to see if any of the League would help them track down the Dark Man. Wi volunteered to help the Legionnaires much to the disgust of his friends. After helping the Legion, Wi had his sentence commuted to time served.

Once released, Wi was contacted by Brainiac 5 who wished to examine him to try and determine how the Dark Man had given him and his friends their powers. Brainiac 5 determined that Neutrax didn't actually negate super powers but just blocked the nerve signals for the person's brain. Wi could, theorized Brainiac 5 block the nerve signals of anybody, thus shutting down their body. While there Wi helped the Legion when some super powered terrorist were making multiple attacks around Metropolis.

After this Wi was offered membership in the Legion, which he accepted. Wanting to put his past behind him, Wi dropped the code name "Neutrax" and instead took the code name "Block".

Ooh, great one Quis! I've always loved the League of Super-Assassins! Showy powers, dynamic personalities, a great group!

He's got a great power, too, one eminently suitable for use as a hero, shutting down the powers of villains (or even knocking them unconscious with a look).

i love this version of "Block". Great job Quis!!!

A man of science his whole life, Lyle Norg was obsessed with the transmutation powers of the Tromians after their demise. He tried various ways to try and duplicate their ability; from ray guns to gauntlets and power rings. But nothing worked. He even went as far as to try and create a serum that would grant him the same abilities. However, it just made him sick for a month.

After recuperating Lyle was still obsessed with learning the secrets of transmutation. Lyle began to search the galaxy for answers. Studying various races that had some form of transmutation from Dularians who transform their bodies, to Gas Girl of the Heroes of Lallor, never being able to crack the code. Finally his search led him to the one place he never thought he would go. He journeyed to Zarox aka Sorcerer's world. Thinking he might find the answers he needs here.

After several year's of studying Lyle learned researched every article of magic he could get his hands on that dealt with transmutation. but because he wasn't a natural magic wielder it was harder for him to practice said magic. Till one day when he entered into a dark agreement with the Dark Lord, Mordrue. He promised Lyle the gift of magical transmutation in exchange for his absolute servitude. Lyle agreed and instantly he was bestowed with the power he had long sought. Because of his extensive research his capability with his new found powers was more than even the great Mordrue expected.

Mordrue began to expand his empire with Lyle being his right hand man. Lyle did his best to try and have his conquest be more diplomatic than hostile take over. But if Mordrue commanded him to use his abilities then so be it. He subdued many an adversary before Mordrue finally came into contact with the Legion.

Lyle was forced to battle the Legion using his skills to create a knock out gas, as Mordrue wanted them alive. He wanted to try and persuade them to join him before he destroyed them. The legion of course refused his offer and fought back. using his two favorite weapons the Emerald Eye and Lyle the legion was almost defeated. But Lyle, couldn't stand by and watch him kill them. turning on his master Lyle did his best to by the legion some time to recover.

Mordure reminded him that what he gave he can take away as well and instantly Mordrue tried. But he failed. the magic had bonded so well with Lyle because of the use of his own knowledge about magic and physic allowed him to actually transform the spell to be irreversible. but he also was able to channel the spell back at Mordrue, leaving him virtually powerless. He retreated with the aid of the Emerald Eye before he could be completely de-powered.

Lyle was left behind and he was ready to turn himself in for all the crimes he had committed over the years. But the Legion saw what he did for them and felt the deserved a second chance. Lyle Norg joined the ranks of the Legion as Alchemist.

Sun Boy being an energy being is a great idea, and I really like the twist of Neutrax being a hero in this incarnation as Block (clever and logical application of the name too!)

Magno: On the planet Braal, Dyrk Magz was born during a particularly vicious solar flare. The flare disrupted electronics across the globe, in some cases permanently. It also affected the Braalians themselves with their natural affinity for magnetic phenomena. Some people were lucky enough to experience nothing more than a migraine which lasted a few days, and a temporary disruption of their magnetic abilities. Other unfortunate Braalians were hospitalised. Dyrk's own biomagnetic field was irrevocably altered by the flare; he would never develop the control over magnetic forces which everyone else on his world took for granted.

Dyrk's parents subjected him to any kind of treatment they could over his childhood years to try and restore his powers, but to no avail. Dyrk himself eventually learned to live with his disability, and planned on leaving Braal to join the Science Police as soon as he turned 14. He figured there was a whole galaxy of sentients outside his own planet where he would just be considered another normal young man, and he couldn't wait to experience it.

Dyrk's parents could never accept his lack of power easily as he learned to though. A week after his thirteenth birthday, they subjected him to the last experimental treatment he would ever undergo; metagene therapy. The hope was that stimulating his metagene in specific ways would endow him with artificial magnokinesis.

Six months of painful procedures later, Dyrk did indeed develop a power. That power wasn't magnokinesis though. Instead he found that he could magnify the powers of anybody else in his immediate area for as long as he concentrated on them. He decided to try out for the Legion instead of joining the Science Police and chose the name Magno both to describe his magnification power, but also as a darkly humorous allusion to his lack of magnetic powers.

Magno can use his power to help his teammates by enhancing their own powers. He has also taught himself to apply his power offensively by abruptly increasing an opponent's powers beyond their own ability to control; for example, sending Saturn Queen into catatonia once when she found herself bombarded with every sentient thought across Metropolis simultaneously. Aside from his new power Magno is also one of the better hand-to-hand fighters of the Legion, and has excellent lateral problem-solving skills honed by a lifetime of compensating for his lack of magnokinesis back on Braal.

Solon Darga is a skilled and wealthy master assassin. Although notorious throughout the United Planets, his true identity is unknown to all but a small cadre of trusted associates.

Raised in Otaku Colony on Bgztl, Solon was trained at an early age in the Way of the Ninja, a legendary school said to date back thousands of years.

His weapons of choice are two custom-made Katana, which he has named Himitsu and Shizukana. Made of platinum-iridium alloy, they are twice the weight of steel, but with an edge honed hundreds of times thinner than a human hair. In today’s terms, the metal for the blades alone would be worth $120,000 or more. The value of the workmanship is incalculable.

Although he will take contracts on any species, he specializes in Terran-descended humanoids. Due to his knowledge or their physiology, he is particularly effective.

Like all Bgztlrs, he is able become an intangible phantom by moving himself slightly out of sync with our dimension. Through a greater effort of will, he can project himself into the Phantom Zone, becoming both invisible and intangible, or return completely to his other-dimensional home of Bgztl.

His assassin's garb is not strictly black, but a dark forest green, which actually blends in more effectively with deep shadows. He is, however, seldom seen at all.

After secretly tracking his target, he will choose an opportune moment, and suddenly attack. Stepping out of the Phantom Zone, usually directly behind his prey, he will already be brandishing one of his katana. With a single downward stroke, targeting the left shoulder, the left arm will be instantly amputated, and the subclavian artery will be simultaneously severed. As the victim's heart pumps out the life-blood, death occurs within seconds.

But by that time, Solon Darga has already disappeared back into the interdimensional interstices.

Those who find the corpse are struck with awe and fear, for they know that another contract has been successfully fulfilled by that infamous, mysterious assassin known only by his alias, a name spoken only in whispered dread: Arm-Fall-Off Boy.

That's very cool, raz. The power to sense or manipulate powers themselves (to nullify them, amplify them, etc.) is a pretty rare one, over all, being kind of 'meta,' but definitely one of my favorites.

Thirteen years ago Orando joined the United Planets. The entire Orando royal family had traveled to Earth to take part in the welcoming ceremonies. All 367 of them, plus a veritable army of servants. During their stay there was many parties, both public and private. Ji Daggle remembers one Orandan Countwho was quite young, handsome, and charming. She did not regret her dalliance with him, even if he did leave with the rest of the royal family. And she never regretted her son, Reep, born 9 months later.

Ji discovered her son's ability when he was just three years old. She had been reading him a bedtimes story and playfully said "Who's my monkey?" Reep replied "I am" and seemed to change into a monkey before her eyes. Ji cried out is surprize. When she did Reep turned back into himself. Wanting to know what had happened, Ji took Reep to Medicus One. There the famed xenobiologist Dr. Gym'll examined her son. After an exhaustive battery of tests, Dr. Gym'll theorized that Reep had inherited the illusion casting power that some of the Orando royal family had. Both Reep and Ji tested positive for the meta-gene.

As he grew, Reep practiced his illusion casting, but he could only seem to cast an illusion around himself. He could make himself look like anyone or anything at all. However he still retained his mass and shape. So even though he could look like a tiny mouse, he could no more crawl through a tiny mousehole than when he looked like himself. Growing up, he was popular in school amusing his friends by really imitating the teacher. He also got into pulling some pranks using his power.

When he was 11 an new group made it's debut in Metropolis. It was the Legion of Superheroes. Reep saw how they used their powers to help people and thought that he could do the same. It also didn't hurt that he saw how popular they were. And so he tried out with his super-disguise power and was accepted into their ranks 2 years later. He choose the code name Chameleon Boy.

Cutest. Superhero. Origin. EVER.

Love it!

Trinity: half Daxamite / half Carggite

Brimstone: Son of the Demon

Light Lass: Ayla Ranzz, light based powers like Superboy's Legion version.

I like Light Lass's asymmetrical star emblem and her infectious smile and enthusiastic pose.

A Nightcrawler / Etrigan mashup is very cool. Does he speak in rhyme? Teleport in fiery explosions? Seems fun.

Trinity has some serious shoulders going on! She looks buff, and, being presumably at least a little bit invulnerable, depending on how much Daxamite power followed through, the space-bikini is more sensible than it would be on others. (Alternately, one of her might be Daxamite strong and tough, the second able to fly and use heat vision, and the third have the super-speed and super-senses, making her three *different* heroes in one!)

The belt pouch thing makes me wonder if Carrgites naturally triplicate anything they are holding, or only special 'Carggite cloth' items and have to purchase three different copies of other items (so that if she had, for instance, a flashlight and a medical kit in those pouches, she'd have to buy three of each, and when combined into a single person, the 'extra two' would 'go away' to wherever her second and third bodies go).

I think I'd prefer that to the 'triplicates items held' secondary power, which could get crazy if she picked up, say, the Atomic Axe, or the Miracle Machine...

The Trinity and Light Lass are used/unused designs by Adam Hughes, the Brimstone is a Dave Cockrum Frankenstein work.

Sometimes two universes spin into a near-synchronicity, and parts of them bleed into each other, forming new potential, composed of fragments of possibility that have leaked from the different quantum branes. These sorts of events usually end without fanfare, as whatever multiversal dance the universes dance spins them away from each other again, and these strange combination potentialities vanish like morning dew.

But sometimes something is simply too beautiful to die, and leaps fully realized from the hazy void of ‘could have been,’ to one of the very real universes that it bled through from, becoming as real as any other creation of that universe.

So it is with Anetsi Nallock, also known as ‘Dreamlocke,’ a beautiful and athletic human woman of Asian descent, remarkable for her incomparable precognitive gifts, her mastery of martial arts, her platinum-blonde hair and her silvery ‘ninja-bikini.’ Able to psychically foresee and counter the offensive and defensive tactics of her foes, she seems to effortlessly sleepwalk through pitched combat with multiple armed foes, dismissing most fights as ‘like reading an old familiar book.’

Her most striking tactic is when she focuses her precognitive talents into a shimmering multicolored lash three meters in length that can connect and transmit her awareness to a distant foe, overwhelming them with images of potential futures and pasts. She calls this her Cassandra Coil, ‘the focused totality of my precognitive abilities,’ and those struck by it are paralyzed by the sudden rush of awareness, viewing and experiencing a dozen alternate possibilities, from times in the past when they narrowly avoided harm or even death (only now seeing what *could* have happened if the car had not swerved and missed them, or the ice had broken and they plunged into the river and drowned), and also possible *futures* in which similar grisly fates lurk one wrong choice away from becoming very finally real. In theory, Anetsi doesn’t *have* to focus on terrible fates, and could indeed use her Cassandra Coil to guide someone through more pleasant alternatives, or even help train or prepare people for adverse futures by showing them all the possible ways they can avoid unpleasant possibilities, but she has little training in such matters, and finds that it is ‘easier’ to force premonitions of doom on those she imposes her precognitive gift upon.

The experience requires her full attention, and so Anetsi rarely uses her Cassandra Coil in the middle of a pitched encounter with multiple opponents, although even a fleeting brush with such dire possibilities can overwhelm some and leave them wracked with doubt, particularly if they ‘foresaw’ the potential of suffering great harm, or even being killed, in the present encounter! Even when this is not the case, those she afflicts in this manner can sometimes have fearful flashbacks months or even years later, upon encounter a situation in which they have ‘foreseen’ their potential death, causing them to freeze up and, quite ironically, perhaps even come to harm, in their hesitation, resulting in a self-fulfilling prophecy!

[Hey look, another riff on Dream Girl! With a dash of amalgamization! I love Amalgam characters!]

wow you did a great job Klar Ken with Arm Fall Off Boy! he sounds like a great assassin and actually scary for once!
