Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Still Another Person Below Me

Tough one. I pick Experiences.

SAPBM,

If you had to erase one Legionnaire from history, which one?

Oh man. I have not read enough Legion for this! But let's go 3boot and then I'll say Dream Boy. He did nothing for me or the stories.

Hey, you, down there - yes, you:
If you could drop the Legion into one of the DC "Elseworlds" (alternate universes), what sort of place/time would you put them into? (You need not pick an existing Elseworld type world but you can if you like.)

I'd drop them into the universe that doesn't have any Siegal or Shuster heirs.

SAP-BM

eww, anyhow

Who is your favorite blood relative and why?

I can't say I'm particularly close to any of them. I guess my sister, since she's my only sibling.

SAPBM,

If you could bring a fictional character into the real world, which one would you pick?

Samantha Stevens (Bewitched) Oh the fun we would have.

SAPBM,

What movie, if any, that all your friends loved, but you thought "meh!"?

The Lord of the Rings movies, and this goes for the books too. I know Tolkien was a pioneer in a way, but I just didn't fall in love with the writing or the script. Special effects were nice though.

What else...

Hunger Games (real life is too depressing already!)
Series of Unfortunate Events (too weird for me)
Godzilla (deader than dead horse)

SAPBM,

You can only listen to three songs for the rest of your life. Which three do you pick?

Lady Gaga, "Bad Romance".
Van Halen, "Jump".
Julian Cope, "I Come From Another Planet, Baby".

SAPBM,
Same question.

The Calling, "Our Lives"
Savage Garden, "Hold Me"
Bon Jovi, "It's My Life"

honorable mention - local band 6 Cycle Mind's "Sandalan"

SAPBM,

You're shipped off to Mongolia for a year. Which three graphic novels do you bring with you?

The Great Darkness Saga
Sandman vol 1
Teen Titans: The Judas Contract

SAPBM,

You able to go back in time and prevent Hitler from being born, would you do it if there was a chance that someone worse would take his place? And if you would do it, at what percentage chance would you not do it?

I'd not do it as there were plenty of others from plenty of sides involved in getting us to that point. I don;t think I could stop at preventing the existence of just the one.

Singing Along Poorly Barely Matters

Which single issue of Legion means the most to you and why?

Legionnaires Annual 2 (just slightly beating out LSH Annual 6). The L* Annual is the conclusion of the White Triangle Saga, and was the single issue responsible for making me a lifelong Legion fan. What an epic story!

LSH Annual 6 contains the origins of XS, Leviathan, and most importantly Kinetix - her origin made her my favorite Legionnaire.

HWW and I ahd a very nice discussion on those issues in the Postboot reread thread.

SAPBM,

Same Q.

Superboy and the Legion of Superheroes #212. It was the first issue of the Legion I read.


SAPBM,

If you could sit down with any world leader and try to convince them of one thing, who would you sit down with and what would you try to convince them of?

Right now I'd sit down with Xi Jinping of China and tell him to stop his military and his government from being an @ss to his neighbors (Vietnam and the Philippines are both really p1ssed and Japan's not much happier); to stop supporting that basket case North Korea, and to stop glossing over the Tiananmen Square incident. I'll also tell him that ethnic Chinese who are not Chinese citizens are frankly embarrassed by the stunts his military and his government officials are pulling.

SAPBM,

What global issue (e.g. global warming, mutant viruses, human trafficking, religious extremism) do you most want to solve and why?

Haha, what a question! I think extreme poverty is the one I'd like to eradicate most. It's just so heartbreaking knowing people can't access clean water, food or shelter. Child soldiers and human trafficking are the runners up.

You, down there!
What do you miss most from your childhood?

Living day to day, no doubt. Not knowing it wasn't normal to make a baseball out of ductape and newspaper or that wearing grey swearshirts everyday wasn't really a personal fashion choice. Not knowing dirt sandwiches were bad for you (exaggeration). Most definitely just living without being judged or with a desire to judge another.

SAPBM

Let's go the other way. What have you enjoyed most about growing older?

Relative freedom and independence and being more capable. I can drive a car, invest my own money? Travel abroad by myself...

SAPBM,

Any TV shows you would like to see revived?

Firefly would be a pretty stock answer but I was just watching Star Trek: Into the Darkness and I think I'd enjoy a tv version of that.

SAPBM

Do you watch more over the air tv, cable or subscription type tv or internet movies and shows? What's your favorite?

Hm, I'm not familiar with which shows only air on TV, vs. those which only air on the Internet, if that's what the question is about. But in terms of format, I much prefer those you can watch over the Internet. It's more convenient, I don't have to worry about taping shows, and it's easier for me to pause/rewind whatever.

SAPBM,

Say you only had time left to take one more trip before the world ends. Where would you go?

Nowhere. Home is where I'd want to be.

SAPBM

What would you say is your best non-work related skill or talent?

Cooking. I'm terrible at baking, and am too lazy to follow recipes precisely, but I'm told I have a good taste for flavor and a good idea of what ingredients would go well together.

SAPBM,

Which of the four classical elements (air, earth, fire, water) do you most identify with and why?

Fire, duh. No but seriously. I don't know why, but I've never really identified with air or earth at all. Water is the only other contender and it's just a bit mild for me, I think. Thus: fire.

To the user below I:
Which of the elements on the periodic table of elements do you most identify with and why?

Carbon. Cause I'm made of it

(I'm an air person myself, I've always wanted to fly, and feeling the breeze on my face is one of the best feelings for me. Water is next, I love swimming and just lying in a pool of water. Fire's cool, I've never identified with Earth though.)

SAPBM,

You have to make soup with only 3 ingredients (besides water, salt and pepper). What 3 ingredients do you use?

Probably a can-opener, a pot and a bit of milk because anything I cook from scratch is going to taste like boiled water, salted to taste. On a limb: tomatoes, river clams, celery.

SAPBM

What's your favorite food from a tree?

Tomatoes, clams, celery. Sounds like a good combination, BB!

Fave food from a tree...

Do peaches grow on trees? They're my new fave fruit. Besides eating them as is, there's a chicken in peach sauce dish that I make occasionally. It takes a while, but it's worth it; the sauce becomes nice and thick if slow-cooked and the juices seep into the chicken meat. Mmmm.

SAPBM,

You are allowed to have one superpower, besides omnipotence or magic. Which one do you pick?

Today, I'd like the power to give everyone the superpowers they want.

It would be interesting to see the shape of the world change...from my bunker.
