I'm assuming i'm allowed to have any characters I want? XD In that case I will take this list and substitute the ORIGINAL Invisible Kid for Triplicate Girl and Karate Kid for Supergirl. Otherwise...I could dig it.

You can do whatever you like. even add a Wolverine or two.

XD Sir, I believe I shall pass on that one. There is more than enough Wolverine to go around without my adding to it.

lol

1) Andromeda
2) Gates
3) Gear
4) Invisible Kid (Lyle)
5) Konk!
6) Kinetix
7) Kid Quantum (Jazmin)
8) Particon
9) Sensor
10) XS

Let's see:

1) Proty II
2) Neon
3) Infectious Lass
4) Calorie Queen
5) Kono
6) Bouncing Boy
7) Triplicate Girl
8) Power Boy
9) Gravity Kid
10) Questar

great teams!

I have another idea ... if they are going to JLA the LSH ...

why not have ...

1.Superboy
2.Supergirl
3.Rond Vidar Green Lantern
4.Dawnstar
5.XS
6.Cham
7. Brainiac 5

in wacky adventures each month where they rescue planets ... and have a new supporting cast of crazy alien Legion of Super Heroes back up cast members each month!

a revolving cast of 5ish back up members!

I LOVE THIS IDEA. YES. And I can indulge my love for the Rond/Brainy love affair friendship while I'm at it. I AM ALL FOR IT.

A "Satellite Era Legion":

1. Superboy
2. Karate Kid
3. Shadow Lass
4. XS
5. Rond Vidar
6. Lamprey
7. Biron the Bowman
8. Shrinking Violet
9. Dawnstar
10. Tyroc
11. Elastic Lad
12. Nightwind
13. White Witch
14. Element Lad

Who is Nightwind? I mean who does she represent. <a Hawk>

also Biron the Bowman? he he

I think I prefer Shikari to Dawnstar for my original JLA list.

Nightwind for Red Tornado.

ah of course. but now you get an extra spot for a Hawk. and Cham for Martian Manhunter?

Well, MM quit before the Satellite Era.

Yeah, I wasn't sure what to do about the extra Hawk.

Timber Wolf ...

If we can use members from previous version then I'd take Brainy, Jo and Tinya out. The ten I'd like to see are:

Timber Wolf (every team needs an animalistic character)
Duplicate Damsel (Mother hen, determined, flawed - great stuff!)
Harmonia (love her snotty attitude and versatile abilities)
Dream Girl (my fave legionnaire, now if only she would put on something other than an ill fitting silver swimsuit)
Chameleon Boy (increasingly a legionnaire I like, he's the detective of the group)
Gates (snotty socialism is a rare personality trait so it's always fun to see him)
Tellus (The group needs telepathy and an alien - Tellus fits both so here he is)

And -

Thunder - the group needs physically powerful members and she is a match for Mon-El. Now all she needs is a personality. I reckon the Ancient Shazam Mage incorporates the recipients of the magic lightning with the whitebread personality as a fail safe against creating another Black Adam. Think of the fun having Mary Marvel on the team would be - Nura and Brin would hate her innocence while Lu would go all mother hen on her. Internal conflicts (so long as it doesn't come to blows) are staple soap opera material.

Gear - another character who was woefully under explored. He could be as useful as the Engineer in the Authority. Somehow I see him as a distant, almost autistic character with this utterly amazing ability. Fun to watch others integrate with and more fun to watch him cut loose and kick ass.

Kid Quantum 1 - James was a narcissist and wouldn't it be fun watching him and Nura competing for the 'look at me' title? And without him being the uberpowrful character Jasmin turned into his abilities could be expanded a little so they were very useful.

Anyway, that would be my dream team of ten.

I've surprised myself that Brainy, Jan, Shady and Jacques aren't on this list.

Only ten? Torture, man!

I've thought long and hard about this, and...

1) Kinetix - Non-negotiable for me, but she adds a very strong altruistic attitude, plenty of sass, and her powerful telekinesis gives good long-range offense and defense

2) Gates - But this time with more action than talk, I want to see Gates really push the Legion to get involved in development (e.g. medical missions, knowledge transfer sessions to poorer planets.) Teleportation is also one of the most useful powers a team could have.

3) Saturn Girl - Although Tellus is more versatile, I find Imra more powerful and she has a much stronger personality. Telepathy is a major strategic advantage

4) Wildfire - This major hothead might actually end up playing the role of peacemaker on a team with such strong personalities. Anti-energy blasts and general indestructibility (if his suit blows, he can just get a new one) cement his status as a powerhouse

5) Brainiac 5 - The team will never get boring with him around. Amazing intelligence and forcefield powers make him a major asset both on and off the field.

6) Chameleon - Despite his "alien" nature, he makes a good "glue" to this team as everyone's friend. Shapeshifting allows him major versatility in a variety of espionage AND combat situations.

7) Polar Boy - The underdog who made it into the big leagues. His ice powers make him a good backup long-range fighter who can non-lethally take down opponents, but more important is his heart, optimism, and belief in the Legion.

8) Shikari - Pathfinding is more useful than we think - no criminal can hide, no lost person will go unrescued, and so on. Armor skin and speed also make her a good close-range combatant. Curious personality and status as a 2nd Galaxy visitor can help us explore this strange new world through her eyes.

9) XS - One of the characters who really grew during her time with the Legion. Super-speed provides a major tactical advantage and ensures distance is not a factor in battles and in all sorts of other missions.

10) Kid Quantum II - Versatile time manipulation powers and strong kickass attitude while still being a good team player. Also very strong-willed.

Others I heavily considered were Karate Kid (close-range combat specialist who can ensure that enemies immune to powers are never a problem); Element Lad (under Levitz was one of the most dedicated of Legionnaires, and nobody can dispute how amazing his powers are), and Andromeda (extremely versatile powerset and extremely likable personality).

Stats - 5 male, 5 female. Half the team is undeniably "alien" in appearance. Having XS, Shikari and Chameleon prevent the team from specializing too much in long-range combat.

I love this team!

I think Harbi's team is a good one for exploring some woefully ignored characters too. Thunder, Gear, Gates, Tellus, Harmonia... wonder what else we could learn about them.

I've got to say its really interesting to see how many people have chosen Gates for their team, considering when the Reboot was going on so many people seemed to hate him. lol

My ten would be

1.Kinetix - (agree with IB!)
2.Gates (a fav of mine!)
3.Brainy (reboot version). - find him to be more interesting and not as much of a jerk.
4.Saturn Girl. ( I just can't imagine a Legion without her. She's so powerful and a strong female character.)
5.Star Boy -
6.Andromeda -(before her nun days.)
7.Crystal Kid - i want to see what he has to offer.
8.Catspaw - always felt she was underdeveloped.
9.Ferro
10.Umbra

Since picking a ten person Legion is a) an impossible task, and b) at cross purposes with the point of this property, I'll attempt to spin it around a story (using Preboot/Retroboot characters only) -

Legionnaires left to defend the United Planets:

1. Bouncing Boy
2. Dawnstar
3. Dream Girl
4. Lightning Lass
5. Mon-el
6. Shrinking Violet
7. Sun Boy
8. Tellus
9. Triplicate Girl
10. Tyroc

Legionnaires wandering lost on the other side of the universe:

1. Colossal Boy
2. Computo
3. Dragonmage
4. Invisible Kid II
5. Lamprey
6. Matter-Eater Lad
7. Nightwind
8. Polar Boy
9. Princess Projectra
10. Shadow Lass

2 comics. 20 characters. 10 males. 10 females.

Love these line ups!

I haven't done this in a while. Let's see if I've changed my mind about anything. XD

1: Saturn Girl (Reboot) - Preferably later in the series when she was stronger, more assertive, and less whiny. Her characterization in Legion Lost is probably my favorite.

2: Invisible Kid (Reboot) - Other than being my favorite character, this version of him was COOL. A spy at 14? A genius? A bit of a smartass? LOVE IT.

3: Cosmic Boy (Reboot) - I like Rokk. I don't care if he's a stick in the mud from time to time. I like his ideals and his morals and his strength of character. He's the Legion's rock.

4: Dream Girl (ThreeBoot) - Dream Girl was probably my favorite character in the Threeboot. She was sort of a strange mix of kickass and half-flighty.

5: Brainiac 5 (Reboot) - Again, another obvious pick. But this version of Brainy was a much more likable character while still maintaining the traditional snark and attitude that made him Brainiac 5.

6: Kid Quantum II (Reboot) - I loved Jazmin from the moment she was introduced. She got even better after Legion Lost. Her powers were pretty nifty and she herself was a likable female character, which I find a lot of people can't seem to write.

7: Shikari (Reboot) - Okay, yeah, I know most of my picks are reboot characters. SO SUE ME. Shikari was just a fun character to me. Somehow she came across as being sweet, yet bold. And, to be honest, I like her way better than Dawnstar.

8: The White Witch (Any Incarnation) - There always needs to be a spellcaster in the Legion, and Mysa is my pick.

9: Karate Kid (Reboot) - For whatever reason, I really liked the spiritual take they had on Val in the Reboot. He seemed noble and thoughtful. Not to mention I love any character who can kick that much ass.

10: Chameleon (Original or Reboot) - Man, did I hate the Threeboot version of Chameleon! But the other versions were awesome! I like shapeshifting characters, as they're always super useful.

Honorable Mentions: Apparition, M'Onel, and Sensor.

I decided to choose a new ten ... based on ten Legionnaires who could pull this one out. By that I mean ten that could save the universe from the current storyline.

1. Projectra. HLIC. Not even Dream Girl has killed two villains and ruled a planet.

2. Brainac 5 (Always key)

3. Chameleon (Espionagerific and he got the band back together in the 5YL)

4. Superboy (I liked Kon El. He comes to the future, after a long absence, to help save his pals.)

5. XS (She was awesome in LOTD)

6. Element Lad (He's a legend)

7. Polar Boy (inextinguishable newbie spirit)

8. Violet (She will punch her way through Validus if need be)

9. Computo (key to defeating Tharok. Brainy's secret weapon. She'll be even more pissed if Jacques dies.)

10. Dragonmage (Mysa is likely to die, and a bit of magic could just swing things in the LSH's favor)


Shikari and/or Ayla would be great too but I went with XS. I almost added Kid Quantum II but went with Polar Boy and XS for plucky characters.
