Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes We Must Discuss Legion Members for the Anniversary! (Rapid Fire!)

Calm and enthusiastic. Compared to Devlin, Kono and Celeste, his introduction was a bit more abrupt. But he was likable. His relationship with Ivy and his bedside manner made him seem older and more mature.

Next:

Veilmist

Khund teleporter, liked Jo, didn't wear much.


Next up, Chameleon Girl

Interesting supporting character (though how she didn't end up in jail is a head-scratcher), but not a great Legionnaire. Levitz used her sparingly and not to great effect and Legion Lost bungled her with a confusing and frustrating subplot.

Next up: Quislet

Interesting power, but not all that useful as the matter it possesses crumbles.

Carefree, its origin story showed surprising depth.

I never found Quislet to be particularly likable but I was not annoyed by it either.

Next:

Apparition

A bit snooty but her heart was in the right place, had trouble with boys, also had trouble with her origin, not as tough as her mother.

Next up:


Old Iron-Butt herself, Saturn Girl

Hard-headed, knows what's best, not about to let you tell her she can't do something. Underneath very caring and selfless. Extremely capable and formidable, which tells us how strong Garth's confidence must have been. An amazingly powerful and skilled telepath too.

Next:

Postboot Magno

At the time had a story all mapped out where he became a villain, Crushed by the loss of his powers, and the jealousy of Rokk returning to buddy up with Garth, he tries desperately to get new powers. He eventually ends up with transmutation powers instead, but they drive him mad. Voila: Reboot Cosmic King.

Next up: Tellus

Artists never agree exactly what his looks are, bit of a cypher personality wise though generally a lost child in the hi-tech UP, good hearted, brave, naive, ripe for manipulation by the Dark Circle.


Next: Cosmic Boy!

The noble leader who often lets his pragmatism get in the way of his friends' best interests. Ultimately loves the Legion and his friends and is loyal to them to a fault. Also has a darker side that doesn't often get shown and suggests a deeper character beneath the surface.

Next: Invisible Kid II

Easygoing, with surprisingly strong convictions. A bit unsure at first but grew in confidence. The random French was a bit hokey but endearing. Made the most of a not-so impressive power.

Next:

Brainiac 5

Super smart, super aware, knows no-one on the team really understands what he can bring to the group, probably keeping a blog that can only be accessed by Coluans about his adventures amongst the idiotic who let him off with his outrageous experiments, likes strong blondes with low life expectancy, needs a decent tailor urgently, probably going to lead the universe towards utopia once he stops docking about trying to make his teammates understand basic calculus and starts working towards his true potential.


Next up Light/Lightning Lass

A very caring individual in all Boots who also gets impatient with nonsense. She will support you, but once you start acting too childish or petty she will so let you know.

She used to give her all for others, but she learned to put her foot down when it was getting to be too much.

Next:

Polar Boy

Badly let down by Sun Boy who got his rejected.
Polar Boy would form the Subs, who frequently worked extremely well together.
Badly let down by Giffen, and turned into a comedy character.
Became leader only to not be a particularly effective one, being a little in awe of the Legion he had admired for so long.
Sun Boy would then be Polar Boy's bestest friend, presumably laughing all the time.

Next: Kono

Sneaky, mischievous, does care for her teammates but has a funny way of showing it. Definitely not someone who would have fit into the Adventure Era team, and likely not the Postboot team either. But a breath of fresh air. And one of the most potentially powerful Legionnaires too.

Next:

Dragonmage

yep. i liked him. i thought his name and powers and personality were cool.

even if they kept slapping on the stereotypes ... didn't slow my roll for him.

post boot version seemed like a wanker ...


Next:


Rond Vidar

Rond. Smart guy with better EQ than Brainy did. Well-adjusted despite being Universo's son. I welcomed his becoming a Green Lantern. Mordru's torture of him was just TERRIBLE. Him and Laurel getting married was a surprise and one I did not see coming, but then different history and Laurel is NOT Supergirl.

Postboot Rond had less EQ. Faded away after a while, but was interesting as an adult associate of the Legion.

Next:

Infectious Lass


I liked Postboot Dragonmage a bit more. Less stereotype-y. I think he'll have a place in my fictional continuation of the Postboot Legion (just as Spider-Girl, Mentalla, Nightwind, Particon, Polar Boy, White Witch, Infectious Lass have found places )
