The list of celebrities that have helped the LMB is actually pretty long, so I’ll only include the most important. Before I do, I’ll say that there were a plethora of celebrities appearing in “Hot Summer Nights” and even “Doom of the Super-Heroes”, more than I’m going to list below. Some would even be snuck in (most famously was Lardy sneaking in one without anyone noticing). Here’s where we stand:

Catherine the Great – Catherine the Great (and her horse) is actually a full-on recurring LMB villainess that battles them from time to time. She first appears in Year Three (in continuity) and had some fights there, and appeared sparingly since. This stems from the Emessage Board, where you could post under any username without giving an email or password—which caused these types of names to appear repeatedly. Catherine the Great began to appear repeatedly, most often used by Lardy (of course) and almost developed an LMB type persona (horse jokes of course ensued). I added her to my LMB continuity timeline to present a new foe for the era where Seahorse and Stu were leaders, since there was so many new members and so little tag stories, and it fit nicely into the era of the Emessage forum.

Dr. Albert Hoffman – Dr. Hoffman is a real life scientist from the 1930’s, who is most famous for accidentally creating LSD. I found this out in LMB Year Three and created the character as my alt ID for the Phineas Board during that era, which was subsequently one of the ones deleted by the moderator when Lash and I famously went on a rampage. Upon coming to Legion World, I created an origin story for The Pious One and Dark Conan (my other alts) to explain where Cobalt had been throughout the years of his comings and goings, and in doing so, combined the characters of Dr. Albert Hoffman and the Pious One. Thus, Dr. Hoffman is Cobalt Kid’s arch-nemesis, and is responsible for his many disappearances and leaving the LMB, physically mentally torturing Cobalt Kid, ensuring that Cobalt Kid will never live to raise his own children and that most would be demons, robots and future world conquerors, and causing a rift between him and Space Tart. Dr. Hoffman is currently believed to be dead following my own Onevision “The Tale of Dr. Albert Hoffman”.

Elvis/others – many other celebrities were used in “Return of Dev-Em”, and then the Ongoing Tag Story, and then many times since, and almost always they turned out to be none other than Madrox the Multiple Durlan. During the opening parts of “Return of Dev-Em” things got really confusing right away, so I came up with the idea to write it all off as being a bunch of Durlans—but even better, one Durlan who could clone himself, thus creating a villain that could fight the entire LMB. Madrox the Multiple Durlan subsequently appeared in almost every tag story since, usually for a post or two before some kills him off, which makes it even funnier, since he can keep coming back because its easy to write it off as a clone dying. Abin particularly has found this amusing and you can see Everyday Girls’ response in the latest Halloween tag thread regarding Madrox. Madrox also serves to explain away random celebrity appearances that don’t stick for whatever reason.

Frankie Muniz – As I mentioned, many celebrities appeared in ‘Hot Summer Nights’, but one celebrity in particular has made it into LMB lore. He first appeared in Hot Summer Nights, not only as a guest-star but a full-blown LMBer! For a few panels he helped out in a mission, but then he ended up dying, making the ultimate sacrifice (killed by Lucifer Lass and the One Called the One). Normally these things would have been forgotten, but this was not so: Frankie’s statue was shown being seen erected in “Doom of the Super-Heroes” under the name “Explosion Reversal Lad”, which was then given to him as a moniker. Thus, Frankie was an LMBer who died in battle. Now, we’ve decided that all LMBers that are not actually alts but story creations are designated the title ‘Honorary LMBers’ to make sure they are differentiated from actual posters and alts, so that is how he’ll be remembered. His origin and first meeting with the LMB have yet to be revealed, as well as if this was the true Frankie Muniz of one thousand years before.

Gary Coleman – Another LMBer introduced in ‘Hot Summer Nights’ was actually Gary Coleman, and like Frankie, was not only a guest star, but an actual member! Like I said above, this now makes him an ‘Honorary Member’ of the LMB. However, like Frankie, he two was killed in “Hot Summer Nights” by the One Called the One and Lucifer Lass (or at least by things caused by them), and most assuredly has his own statue. He never has received a codename as of yet. Ten points for someone to name him as long as it’s funny!

Cher – One character that’s a bit more fleshed out, despite only a few posts, is Cher. Cher first appeared in “The Day Legion World Stood Still” (Spring 2004) and was revealed to be the actually Cher we know today in our own time. She also exhibited the powers of teleportation, low level spell casting, and wielding a soul sword. Basically, Cher is like Magik of Marvel New Mutants fame, only its Cher who wields the power. She hasn’t appeared since, but its established she’s an ally of the LMB (not an Honorary LMBer).

Dollyputo – I spoke about Dollyputo on page two, but needless to say, she’s the combined personalities of Lucien Lad, Lash Lad and Dolly Parton, in computer form that can materialize as a hologram. She’s the LMB’s computer, and thus an LMB ally (not Honorary Member). First appearance in “Return of Dev-Em” (Fall 2003), and subsequent appearances here and there, most prominently in “The Day Legion World Stood Still”.

Roger Moore, Samantha Fox and Dolly the Sheep – All members of LMB lore, introduced in Numf-El’s Onevision-like story in the “Ongoing Tag Thread”, who met Numf and Harbinger as they traveled through Scotland. After this adventure, LMB Adventures Magazine hired them all as part of their staff, which stems from Abin enjoying these characters so much, he added them to his interludes which involved Eddie Tor, Trixie, etc.

Am I missing more? I feel like I am, but I don’t have time to read through the timeline.

The following note was inserted by Abin, Just becaue he CAN!

(Yep, you forgot Dusty Baker, who was an integral part of the "Stupid Friggen Giant Ants" story and the immortal JSMBP Story in the Ongoing Thread)

You meant to say "Help me!" to EDG, but instead mis-typed, "Help my". Without missing a beat, EDG said... "My? You mean My Whee Fem - my long lost Korean-Phillipino friend who doesn't shoot well, but is great with knives? Of course I'll help her!"

Just awesome.
