Reboot Comet Queen
First Appearance: Legionnaires #43 (vol. 3) December 1996 Status: Hero Real Name: n/a Group Affiliation: Legion Academy Home Planet: n/a Height: n/a Weight: n/a Eyes: Hair: None Special Abilities and Powers: n/a
A character resembling Comet Queen appeared at a try-out for Legion membership. She was seen later in the series as a cadet in The Legion Academy. No details were given regarding her name, history or powers. Confirmed as Comet Queen, not merely "resembling" in SF&O #1. She was never seen to be a student at the Legion Academy on Warnabros, but she was a member of the Legion Cadets program on Legion World. [Additional, there's only been one volume of Legionnaires. And, copy-editing-wise, why capitalise the "The" in "the Legion Academy"? That's reserved for something like The Hague, where the "The" is part of the name. Also, I think we can safely say her eyes were yellow and that she could fly! ]

I'm sorry for coming late to this party, but thanks to everyone who's contributed thus far.
This is obviously not going to happen this year as a published book. Just not enough contributors here and in the art thread.
That said, I would like to continue this and make an online version. But, I have to disagree about the separate versions. I always think that's more confusing than it needs to be. When you read about Batman or Superman, they don't break out each version of the character as separate and distinct. They present them as a character and discuss the various interpretations. Each article should be an overview of the character with distinct incarnations being mentioned, but not a separate version of the same character.

Nighty, I agree that having one single version simplifies things. However, some characters have ENORMOUS difference between evrsions. How do we treat that? Maybe have a separate section for "Alternate Versions" and just mention the major differences in said section (e.g. for Wildfire, the Alternate Versions section could touch on the Postboot version being an amalgamation of 2 characters; for Element Lad, the Postboot version's section would touch on the whole Progenitor thing while the Threeboot would mention his power limitations of only transmuting things he touches and causing changes that only last 60 seconds).

As an example of my suggestion above, check out wikipedia's Dazzler article. Towards the bottom, there's a section discussing the various alternate versions. I think that's a decent compromise that would please fans who grew up with the Postboot or Threeboot Legions, as opposed to the original Preboot version.

KID QUANTUM II FIRST APPEARANCE: Legion of Super-Heroes (vol. 4) 82 (July 1996) STATUS Hero REAL NAME Jazmin Cullen GROUP AFFILIATION Legion of Super-Heroes PLANET Xanthu HEIGHT 5ft. 8in WEIGHT 145 lbs EYES Amber HAIR Black SPECIAL POWERS/ABILITIES Kid Quantum II can control quantum fields that affect time and matter. Objects in her fields can have time around them accelerated to the point of decay, or decelerated to the point of being placed in stasis. She can also fly without a Legion flight ring.
Jazmin and her brother James had always been competitive, even as children. So when James was killed in action as the Legionnaire Kid Quantum, her first reaction was anger at the shame he had brought their family. She also resented the Legion for failing to save his life.
She studied biophysics and risked her life to amplify her own quantum powers, so she wouldn't have to rely on a power belt to boost them like James did. This earned her a spot on Xanthu's Uncanny Amazers.
Her attitude towards the Legion would slowly change after she learned that Prefect Lamar of Xanthu did not appreciate James' death as an act of heroism. She further warmed up to the Legion after working alongside them to defeat Mordru, and then again when Star Boy and Monstress helped the Amazers defend Xanthu against invading aliens. She was accepted into the Legion after she asked to join.
Kid Quantum II, alongside Element Lad and Wildfire, used their powers in concert to try and close the Rift threatening the galaxy during the Great Rift Disaster. Although they were successful, they and some of their teammates were sucked into the rift before it closed. Guilt-stricken at not being fast enough. Kid Quantum II was overjoyed when they encountered Element Lad again and would not entertain the idea that he had changed into the Progenitor. She only reluctantly fought against him after he had killed Monstress.
Upon returning to U.P. space, she was nominated for Legion leader by Cosmic Boy. He cited her strength of character and fierce belief in the Legion's ideals. She began a relationship with him after that.
During the invasion of Darkseid, she was shown using her powers to travel through time. It is unknown if this is an expanded function of her abilities, or if it was a function of the time upheavals happening then.
