Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly I'm thinking of a DCU character...

Red Tornado? He's an android, so it's implied he's male, but he's an android so, he's not really male right?

If this character were dropped out of an airplane at a high altitude, would his powers be useful in aiding in his survival?

Is it Snapper Carr?

Are they a non-organic life form?


He's been a member though.

Has this character ever transformed into a different form?



Well, he/she had a few memorable appearances but as a whole that era of the JLA was... meh.

Sorry, got super busy at work!



No, but very close!



Yes, absolutely.



No.



Hard to tell...



Technically, yes they have turned into a different form.

Is it metamorpho?

No.

Recap:
Male (implied)
Not Quislet
Has superpowers
Not usually associated with LoSH
Is a hero
Usually associated with the JLA
Not a member of the JLA
Not L-Ron
Not a Gorilla of Gorilla City (or otherwise)
Not magic-based
Does not use an artifact for powers
Not the Yazz
Not Red Tornado
Power useful when falling from high altitudes
Not Snapper Carr
Unsure if organic or non-organic
Technically has transformed into a different form
Not Metamorpho

Does this character originate on a planet other than Earth?

Yes!

Is it the Tornado Champion?

We have a winner! Congrats Eryk Davis Ester for that awesome guess!

Nice one. That clue you gave makes total sense now!

Never ever heard of the Tornado Champion so who is next on the guessing list?

Nice one Eric. And EDE too.

Hi RpBoy, Eryk Davis Ester won this round so he gets to think of the net character. All of us can guess once he does.

Tornado Champion is a tornado elemental that saw the exploits of the Justice League and decided to be a hero himself. He fought a villain called the Tornado Tyrant, but was bested. The JLA came in and defeated the Tornado Tyrant. Much later, the Tornado Champion and the Tornado Tyrant merged bodies, with the Tornado Champion taking dominant control of the mind. Seeing a vacancy in the robotic body of Red Tornado, Tornado Champion possessed him and became the heroic member of the JLA he always wanted to be.

I always thought the Champion & Tyrant were two Jeckyl & Hyde sides of a third Tornado being. Somewhere, there's a Tornado Therapist wondering why his patient has skipped another appointment...

No, they were two separate beings at some point. I love love love the crazy back stories of the heroes in the Silver Age. Don't get me started on Black Canary.

I remember him now, thats an obscure bit. Once you described his backstory it all came to me. Nice bit of nostalgia.

It always did seem a bit odd to me that there would be a Tornado Tyrant and a Tornado Champion. I guess there are good tornados and there are bad tornados

If your house is blown away, it's a bad tornado. If someone else's is...um...well that's bad too, but not quite as bad on a personal level.

And it's in those moral gaps that the Identity Crises of Tornado Town began. Or it would have done, had the Tornado Twins ongoing not been cancelled by the DC Implosion, ironically partially caused by horrible weather*.


*For new joiners, part of that may have been made up.

This thread now about the tornado elementals that would one day grow up to be Red Tornado.

At least until EDE pops up with a new question. But why just the Red Tornado? When Reddy and the Vision feel really depressed they tell themselves it could be worse. They could feel as bad as Blue Tornado.

I got wind, but it's the the beans.

If it happens when I'm in costume.
I ain't getting into no super teams.

Wow! Bit surprised to have gotten that one right!

I'll think of a new character by tomorrow!
