Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Who Should Be Legion Leader? The Official Campaign Thread!

Use *this* thread to tell us why we should all support your choice for Legion leader!

Who's our hero?
Lightning Lad!!
He can do it
He's SOooo BAD!!!

He takes point! He inspires the youngsters.. Garth took down Terra Firma with ONE SHOT!

Lightning Lad kicks major nass! Go Garth!

Tinya! Tinya! Tinya!
Fashionable and Pretty
Gets along with everyone

Who needs substance?
She's got style.

I've always been a HUGE Tinya fan... but I say it's time for Tasmia.

Starboy. He's a heavy-hitter.

Lightning Lad coined the term "Eat it Grandpa". The Legion needs to leave the advesarial relationship behind. We need a moderate face for the the UP. A new era of co-operation with the UP and the police.

WE WIN WITH WAZZO!

Hmmm...

My home town just re-elected a county board president who suffered a major stroke a week ago and spent election day in the hospital.

So...

Dream Girl for Legion Leader!!! Dream-y! Dream-y! Dream-y! A little thing like death shouldn't get in the way of a successful campaign for elected office.

Tamper is dead right here!

Its time for progress and cooperation, yet determination to stay true to the spirit of the Legion! Only Tinya could accomplish such a bridge!

Tinya--can't even focus enough to have a simple conversation--her simultaneous existence in two dimensions makes her judgement questionable at least. I'd go with Garth, but the comment that he's always off Earth is problemental. Thus the only Legionnaire who has any governmental experience is Luornu--who has already ran an entire planet...

Decisiveness without ego -- vote Shadow Lass for leader.

You say this like you think that intellectual capacity to follow briefings by staff and administrative experience and competence should be prerequisites for election. Next you'll say that real millitary service should be a prerequisite for sending soldiers to fight wars.

As for the front runner. Not only did he coin "Eat it Grandpa" his choice in the company he keeps make him the personal stooge of Delegate Ardeen. Who knows what machinations are at work in that Mother-Daughter-Garth dynamic.

Save the Legion! Stop Garth! Vote Tinya!

I think there are all kinds of narrative possibilities that would be opened up if Ultra Boy was leader.

So, here's my process of reasoning:

First, eliminate the ruffians:

<strike>Ultra Boy</strike>
<strike>Shadow Lass</strike>
<strike>Light Lass</strike>

Next eliminate the flakes/crazies/those not very good at communicating with others:

<strike>Element Lad</strike>
<strike>Phantom Girl</strike>
<strike>Atom Girl</strike>
<strike>Chameleon</strike>

Then, eliminate the "If you want be Legion leader, get a proper Legion name!" crowd:

<strike>Princess Projectra</strike>
<strike>Timber Wolf</strike>
<strike>Brainiac Five</strike>

Now, we get rid of the founders, because they're boring as leaders:

<strike>Cosmic Boy</strike>
<strike>Saturn Girl</strike>
<strike>Lightning Lad</strike>

Then, we take out the "Shouldn't these guys be dead?" group:

<strike>Invisible Kid</strike>
<strike>Karate Kid</strike>

So, that basically leaves us with Star Boy, Micro Lad, and Triplicate Girl as potential candidates. Star Boy I'm not really seeing as leadership material, and, while Micro Lad would be really cool, I'm supporting Triplicate Girl because the Legion needs a kickass chick as the leader again!

So, in conclusion, Triplicate Girl rules, everyone else drools!

EDE's analysis has a major flaw.

Shadow Lass is not a "ruffian." Yes, she can kick ass, but she has done soas a team player.

With that oversight corrected, comparing SL and TG, Tasmia is the clear choice.

I applaud the hard work of my fellow Legion Worlders! Obviously a lot of time and thought has gone into their work and their love of the Legionnaires burns brightly.
Give yourselves a round of applause, my friends. You deserve it!

The Founders have every reason to be proud of inspiring so many to such greatness. It's a wonder to behold.

This is EXACTLY the reason that Lightning Lad is a superior choice. The muscular Winathian twin is a role model of truly super-heroic proportions in every important way. His speech to the freightened youngsters in that face of doom and certain destruction gave heart and courage to the lost and desperate.

Garth's undoubted bravery and singular focus in dealing with Terra Firma in a bleak and deadly situation gave me goose bumps. THAT Lightning Lad was the hero he was born to be. THAT Lightning Lad showed supreme heart and a knowledge of battle tactics like no Lightning Lad we've ever seen.

Undoubtedly there are many Legionnaires that would satisfactorily, even admirably perform the duties of legion Leader but as it stands there is only one Legionnaire that stands above the others as a giant in attitude, guts and sheer determination.

THAT Legionnaire, ladies and gentlemen you all know well and have loved for years. THAT Legionnaire, ladies and gentlemen, if there is ANY justice in the universe and in the United Planets should be the newly elected Leader of The Legion of Super-Heroes!

The most obvious and truly the ONLY sane and valid choice for the exalted positon is...

Lightning Lad

i voted by process of elimination as well. not alot of good candidates but, i finally voted for shadow lass because she always seems to be cool and in control, unlike most of the other legionaires.

now that that comes out of my mouth, i realize she did steal soem glasses from some poor guy. thief!!! i take back my vote.

sun boy it is!

Lightning Lad would be the best choice as leader. Who else can lead a charge into battle?

The Charge of the Light(ning) Brigade!

C'mon guys and girls, you know in your heart of hearts that Brainiac 5 is the only choice - he's smart, ruthless and green! What more could you ask for?

Vote B5!

Oh really? Would you trust this man and his 'crack' staff?



Vote for the real leader, one who actually fought in the recent war. Vote for Lightning Lad!

A frightening image...

And all the more reason to repeat support for SHADOW LASS as leader. While the incident with the glasses may appear troubling, we should applaud her daring and innovative approach to breaking through the wall of incapaciting fear of her older fellow sentients. What was seemingly a minor (and harmless) prank may have started the re-awakening of spirit and energy among the galaxy's adults. What foresight! What understanding of motivation!

Her many other fine leadership qualities have been previously cited by myself: Shadow Lass! She has lots of initiative, she tried to help Jo with his powers problem, she decked Nura while Val philosophized, she's concerned about Dirk leaving, she can fight, keeping up with Karate Kid, she doesn't hold grudges (burnt beds! and she still works with Brainy even if she thinks he's insufferable), she does what's good for the group (going on patrol for p.r. reasons) and she has a good personality - none of the postboot anger, but she seems like a tough lady who isn't going to get rattled easily.

We also now know that she does not let her personal life interfere with her Legion responsibilities. Although no longer in a romantic relationship with Karate Kid, she works easily and effectively alongside him - indicating her balanced and rational approach to dealing with people.

Furthermore, her creativity and frugality in the kitchen will surely translate into other administrative functions.

If Tenzil or Chuck wins, I personally pledge photomanips for all*!

*photomanips will be of the manippers choice and will most likely involve goats in Saturn Girl's 70s one piece.

A vote for Lightning Lad is the same as a vote for the Shameless Hussy and her mother.

Just say no to Imra touching your amygdala, your mind is your own. The choice is yours. For Now...

We all WIN WITH WAZZO.

Wazzo calling Imra a hussy? That's the pot calling the kettle black. Just ask her last boyfriend Jarel and Karate Kid, who she led on. A vote for Wazzo is like voting for every girl who dumped you. Vote for Lightning Lad!
