Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Doom Patrol -- Create Your Own Team

It would be cool to have dopplegangers of Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern and Batman from each era but there's not quite enough ...

also ... with this round I missed out on John Stewart, Metamorpho, Vixen and some other cool peeps. (could move Black Canary to the 1st WW2 era I guess to make room).

I had a similar idea back when Hypertime was still out there. A group of characters abandoned by continuity looking for a way home:

- Silver Aged Katar Hol Hawkman
- Kristen Wells Superwoman
- Fastback
- Grell-era Princess Projectra
- Helena Wayne Huntress

Ooh, add in Donna Troy, who's like the poster child for 'looking for my continuity.'

A 'Forgotten League' full of people like Moon Maiden, Air Wave and Amazing Man could be fun.

OKay, I'll try one.

The Legion of Super-Overpowered Heroes

R’E’L / Ariella Kent
Composite Superman / Joe Meach – Reformed
Sir Mixyezpitelik of the Anti-Matter Universe
The Phantom Stranger
The Spectre
The Radiant
Wally (from P.A.D. Supergirl)

Ha!

Also, the Legion of We Don't Really Understand Their Powers And / Or Will Portray Them Inconsistently / Or Will Change Them Without Notice

Wildfire
Star Boy
Light(ning) Lass
White Witch
Chemical King
Glorith
Chemical Kid

I'm curious about a space team (s) right now! Marvel or DC!

Here's a rough sketch

Marvel:

Binary / Ms. Marvel
Vance Astro
Warlock
Phastos
Darkstar
Xorn
Yondu
Human Torch Jim Hammond

Kind of like a space Avengers.

Marvel

Hercules
Mantis
Swordsman
Moondragon
Jocasta
Quasar
Photon
Starfox

ALL NEW ALL NOW JUSTICE LEAGUE 3016



1. Chameleon (Taking Martian Manhunter's place)
2. Ultra Boy (The Wonder Woman of the team)
3. Andromeda (Superman)
4. Dragonmage (Green Lantern)
5. XS (Flash)
6. Brainiac (Batman)
7. Dawnstar (Hawkwoman)


woot!

Members of my second draft pick:

Dev Em (Supes)
Duplicate Boy (Wonder Woman)
Comet Queen (Flash)
Quantum Queen (Hawkwoman)
Neon (GL)
Rond Vidar (GL)
Karate Kid (Batman)

Computo, Gear or Quislet could be a new style of Martian Manhunter or take the role of the brains like Batman

I'm still keen on the above team!

Also this ^ still rules!

I'll approach from a different angle -

If I had to pick 7 members to restart the Legion after the team breaks up and goes into an apocalyptic future:

1) Kid Quantum II (good powers, and she has leadership chops)
2) Saturn Girl (determined, people will listen to her, and the powers)
3) Kinetix (I'm biased, but she is also one of the most versatile ranged attackers and defenders, and this will be a good outlet for her desire to help others)
4) Brainiac 5 (duh)
5) Chameleon (versatile, smart, one of the best symbols of interspecies cooperation)
6) Gates (oh the places you could go... and having HIM, one of the greatest skeptics, come back is a big feat)
7) Andromeda (no more power vacuum here!)

I was going to put Cosmic Boy and Live Wire, but decided to leave them out for greater power variety!

Seven, eh...?

I'd pick

I love the Satellite-era League, and would love to see a lineup that used those members *minus* the 'Big Seven.'

Green Arrow (financier, nominal leader)
Black Canary (hand to hand specialist, trainer, field leader, effective leader)
Hawkwoman (melee combatant, alien tech supplier)
Atom (team scientist)
Elongated Man (plus Sue, team detectives)
Firestorm (also partial team scientist, thanks to Stein, team heavy hitter)
Red Tornado (other team heavy hitter / powerhouse)
plus guest-appearance by;
Zatanna (mystical support, occasional member, pops in for supernatural threats mostly)

I found it amusing that Green Arrow (wealthy backer), Black Canary (tactical leader), Elongated Man & Sue Dibney (investigators), Hawkwoman (tech supplier) and Atom (scientist) were all covering roles that Batman, *by himself*, traditionally covered.

I skipped Hawkman, because the team was big enough at 7 (plus Zatanna, in the Phantom Stranger-esque role of showing up with portents of doom role). Having Black Canary, Hawkwoman and occasionally Zatanna as members of an eight person group made it a bit less of a sausage-fest than the original 'Big 7,' which only had Wonder Woman to represent the super-ladies.

Seven Legionnaires? Oy. So hard. Will have to think on this...

I've been playing around with an idea for a NEW BROTHERHOOD / UNCANNY AVENGERS / ASTONISHING X-MEN TEAM.

They all seem conceptually similar now.


1. Scarlet Witch (Leader)
2. Quicksilver
3. Polaris
4. Sunfire
5. Legion
6. Frenzy
7. Dust



They seem a bit more redeemable than other "bad boy / girl" X-men like Gambit. Although Wanda's done a lot of bad, she's also done a lot of good.

Maybe this team is all about redemption, and old fashioned X-Men plot.

I would like to get Siryn or Banshee in there. Maybe Mirage as a regular illusionist.

Ooh, Frenzy and Dust are total favorites! Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and Polaris on the same team is also cool. They've not gotten to interact as much as they should, whether or not they are related this week. Sunfire, it's about time he became a real contender. Same for Legion. I'm not a huge fan of Legion, but it's long past time he got to join a team.

I really like this team; I'm with Set in that Wanda, Pietro and Lorna should interact more (also, Wanda and Pietro need to be re-retconned into being Magneto's kids again)...Sunfire and Pietro on the same team would be an interesting clash of personalities, they're both pretty insufferable for different reasons.

If I was gonna change anything, I might switch Legion and Dust out for Magma and Empath; Legion is SUPER powerful for a team, and I just have more of a connection to old-school Amara than Dust...ALTHOUGH....add Blindfold to your 7 and I'd be happy too - love me some Legion and Blindfold

I like blindfold too.

I have an ok idea for a new Excalibur.


1. Captain Britain
2. Psylocke - maybe back with her Captain Britain super suit, not that she needs it.
3. Spider Woman - I fancy her as the head of Hydra or a faction and using their resources to fight crime.
4. Black Knight
5. Druid II


With Captain UK and Rick, Meggan and Tangerine and tons of back up characters like Tom the psychic ex of Betsy Braddock being in the background.

And possibly a Commonwealth team:

1. Thunderbird Neal Sharra
2. Lifeguard
3. Slipstream
4. Karima the Omega Sentinel
5. Red Lotus


I'd like to arrange a Europe team but having trouble thinking of a good mix:


1. M
2. Darkstar
3. Maybe Dust


Chamber, Pixie, Siryn and Madrox could fit in somehow.

Any ideas?

I've been toying with Avengers teams as well:

A back to the six member team:

Black Panther as leader. The team could be based out of Wakanda to take advantage of all their high technology.
Mantis. I would concise her powers down to ninja with complete control over her body, she can control her molecules, phase and teleport but skip the energy powers and plant control powers. Pre celestial madonna stuff.
The Lady Sif. She's the heavyweight. She hasn't been an Avenger either.
Machine Man.
Living Lightning.
Talisman. I would take her powers down as well, she can control spirits of the elements. and do some magic. not like all the magic.


.....


A few substitutes I'm thinking of are Crystal instead of Talisman, and maybe Dr. Samson instead of Sif. Spectrum for Living Lightning. But generally I like the newness of members of the first line up.

I really like your team, it is a nice balance of power and personality.

I will try this:

Cannonball- Leader 30 years is a long time to wait for A-List Status
Sersi- She is an immortal and a lot of fun.
Ms.Marvel (current)- Her stretching powers are fun and she has a good personality.
Iron Patriot- Sent by the government to "babysit" but legitimately enjoying the experience
Firestar- She fits the bill for elemental and her past with the Hellions would make for good nostalgia for longtime readers.
Hawkeye (Kate)- A young and popular character

Future Avengers (based loosely on the originals)


1. Huk (Cho)
2. Victorious (Victor Mancha) in lieu of Hank Pym
3. Cloud 9 in place of speedy Wasp.
4. Horus in a Captain Marvel Shazam way in lieu of Thor.
5. Prodigy, team leader instead of Captain America and the smart guy like Iron Man.
6. Nico sorceress supreme.

I also had an idea for an interim X-Team between the original five and the introduction of the Giant Size X-Men with characters that were around.


1. Havok
2. Polaris
3. Sunfire
4. Darwin - could've been around.
5. Banshee
6. Wolverine - part time
7. Astra - Could be after she fell out with Magneto and the Brotherhood. Or is a double agent. Or isn't quite that bad yet.

This segway team makes a bit more sense out of the incorporation of Banshee, Gunfire and even Wolverine, who were at odds with the X-Men, into the second team. This team could show how Prof. X earned their trust rather just randomly showing up and asking them to rescue the original 7 on a dangerous mission. It also allows Astra to have some screens time since she is a retcon.

I had to look up Astra, but I liked this one as a transition team. Better than the plucking them out of the Mission Impossible files approach.

Thanks!

To add some ladies to the roster, there's also Sage/Tessa, Sway and Petra, from the 'pre All-Different' era. A team of lesser-seen X-Men with Havok, Polaris, Sunfire, Banshee, Thunderbird, etc. would be kind of cool.
