Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly JSA/JLA vs. Legion

Kinetix doesn't have to rely on gadgets. She rips Courtney's belt off and wrests her cosmic rod from her hands.

Next:

Huntress vs. Triad

Huntress. Triad is great, but Huntress had decades under the tutelage of Batman and is used to multiple opponents.


Next:

Projectra vs. Raven

Giving it to Raven, who can probably see through illusions using her empathic powers.

Next:

Bart Allen vs. XS

Bart had his own title and then a bit of time in the Flash costume. XS switched universes thanks to one writer only to sit doing mosaics by the next. So it would nearly always be a Bart win.

However, Jenni has dressed up as one of the rogue's gallery that beat Bart to death in one of DC's more pathetic, pointless and terribly reasoned episodes (matched by his return). Bart is traumatised, allowing XS to win.

Next:
Sun Boy vs Power Girl

Kara has a lot of experience and a boat-ton of powers. Even if Dirk switches on the red sun radiation, I'm sure she can find a way to beat him.

Next:

Mister Terrific (Terry) vs. Karate Kid (Val)

It depends if Giffen is writing it.

Seeing another possible Nemesis Kid moment, Val changes tactics.

He tells Terry about how tough it is being an outsider on Orando. Having started his career almost killing himself Sloane once again become s the best at everything. Including suicide. A win for Val!

Next:
Martian Manhunter vs Proty

Telepathic shape-changer vs. telepathic shape-changer. J'Onn invites Proty in for a plate of Oreos and milk.

J'Onn wins due to niceness.

Next:

Hawkgirl vs. Shikari

All paths lead to a mace in the face from Bird Non-Legion. A win for Hawkgirl, who summons the fortitude of various incarnations to see her through a bruising encounter.

Next:
Maxwell Lord vs Lester Spiffany (remember Lester's superpower of self absorption )

Lester Spiffany uses all his money to hire telepathic bodyguards to beat Maxwell Lord up to a pulp.

Next:

Atmos vs. Firestorm

Ronnie falls in love with Atmos' buff physique and rude approach. As a jock, Ronnie knows all about underarm odour and finally he's met the man with a solution. No armpits!

It looks as though it's going to be an easy win (and date) for Atmos. But Professor Stein's mental power offsets Atmos' will control ability. "I beat up Hector Hammond! he screams as Firestorm phases out of Atmos' blasts and transmutes a vault around his foe.

It's a win for Firestorm and a win for Ronnie and Atmos who have been steadily dating for months after the fight.

Next:
Writer pet favourite Karate Kid vs writer pet favourite Faith

Wow. Firestorm just turned gay! but is he really gay or is this all bisexual Atmos' mind control at work?

Giffen takes the reins and makes Karate Kid die horribly after being ripped apart by Faith. At the last minute, Giffen is pulled off the project but no other writer had enough time to come up with a plausible way for the martial arts expert to beat someone who does not even have to touch him to win. Faith wins.

Next:

Fire vs. Inferno (Sandy Anderson)

"Let's see if you can have the powers of the Green Flame," says Fire as she changes her flame form. Poor Inferno opens her mouth for a hard as nails retort only to ingest the gaseous Fire. Inferno combusts from within, scattering across the arena, giving the victory to Fire.

It's a messy job for the clean up crew but an unexpected B-B-Q treat for the human eating sentients in the crowd.

Next:
Neck breaking Princess Projectra vs neck breaking Wonder Woman

I guess you didn't like Sandy much.

Wondy has been fooled by illusions before. Wasn't Batman's master plan to keep her fighting an illusory battle until her heart gave out? Projectra uses the same tactic to tire Wondy to exhaustion. She does not even have to use her neck breaking power.

Next:

Kole vs Crystal Kid

I don't think I've read too many issues with her. Was that when there wasn;t a Sun Boy around (which makes her a bit of a stand in- even if the circumstances were different) But like the Genie thread like/dislike doesn't cross my mind.

Nicely done with Wondy/Jeckie. It wasn't until I posted it, I wondered if it was more balanced that I would have first thought.

Kole seems a little insecure at being in front of a big crowd. Crystal Kid loses no time at all in hitting on her. 20 minutes later Kole is selling Crystal Kid Chip mementoes outside the arena. A win for Kole (whose non crystal powered flight helps a bit here)

Next:
Bruce Wayne vs Lyle Norg

She was created in the Postboot before Dirk Morgna was reintroduced, so she could be considered a stand-in

Thanks re Wondy and Jeckie.

Hmmm I would still give it to Batman, who is probably a better fighter and must have some sort of gadget against invisible foes.

Next:

Aztek vs Monica Sade

Aztek is an interesting character. Designed by the numbers just the way Conway would have done it. But with some decent left field backstory and a future that may have already been decided.

With Morrison also writing JLA, there was every chance that the character would become a writer's pet. But it went the other way. Aztek did very little. Conway's Firestorm was similar. I never felt the character overwhelmed the stories and COnway dropped him from the league too.

Sade, on the other hand, was closer to writer's pet material. Cold blooded killer who doesn't kill Bounty. A teleporting assassin who gets lots of good lines (making a very long story even longer). It was a nice fight though, and Sade vanished in the multitude of cast members, so it didn't come to anything.

All of which is me wittering away...

I call this one a draw. Sade is clearly winning, but Aztek gets a phone call from Lex Luthor half way through and blows them both up, and the front two rows of the arena crowd.

Next:
Converted Amazo (form Rock of Ages) vs Composite Superman (well, has Legion powers)

Ah, collateral damage...

Legion powers > JLA powers, methinks, especially if we expand to include every Legionnaire ever. Composite Supes.

Next:

Etrigan vs. Dragonmage

Well, this is an easy win for the demon form hell. The other guy's just a raw kid...

..but uh-oh! Etrigan's just used the word "orange" at the end of a line. This is going to be a ...oh, he can't find a rhyme...

Dragonmage's Puberty Blast kicks in, unexpectedly teleporting The Demon into a dualist worldview of an afterlife.

Victory for Dragonmage!

Next:
Vixen vs Chameleon Boy

Does Vixen need to actually touch her totem thingie to access her powers? If so I can see a way for Cham to restrain her...

The hard part for Vixen is Cham is a shapeshifter and blunt force attacks won't really hurt him.

I'll just give this to Vixen who channels an electric eel and shocks Cham into submission or something.

Next:

Blue Devil and Zauriel vs Wildfire and Dawnstar

Wildfire'n Dawny. They just outclass BD, though BD's more pure "fun".

Next:

Bouncing Boy vs. Elongated Man!

I'm not sure how they could hurt each other. I think Ralph could restrain Chuck though, while Chuck could not do much back. Of course, Chuck could still knock Ralph out...

Chuck for me, maybe he uses his flight ring to levitate Ralph

Next:

Blok vs. Tasmanian Devil

Awwwww. lokkit the fuzzy bear all growly and clawy! Aaawww

>Thunk<

ummm... growly bear's a little flat now....


Win for Blok!
