Great Gravy! He's been registered here over a week and has yet to comment on these important characters! What's up with that?

I bet he doesn't even know who Jamm is! Or Dr. Landro's hot nurse!

Sizzling Satellites Cobie! You just mentioned one of the greatest and one of the worst Legion characters in the same post! Have you gone space-happy?

Who was Dr. Landro's "hot nurse", btw? When did she first appear?

And she just may be the greatest Legion character of them all! Definately the hottest!
Space Happy I may be! But I refuse to comment until Mark Waid addresses Banyo Fruit and what it does to posters with space fatigue!

Correct!
EDE'statement goes along with my theory that Tenzil was consistently the most attractive Silver Age Legionnaire besides Dirk and Jo. And as a strait male, I can tell these things!
Plus, we got to see one of the coolest *looking* villains ever--Meglaro! Tons of firsts!

Hmm... Mark Waid never did incorporate Calamity King, Lester Spiffany, or Infectious Lass into his Legion stories! So I guess that tells you a little bit about his opinion of them...

and why the book struggled. Even Levitz would have been a neverknown if not for an occasional reference to one of those three.

Or perhaps it was a response to the unspoken them of this thread, which is along the lines of 'I wish Waid would stop monkeying around and give us Eryk, Lester and Drura!'

Will Bendis avoid Mark Waid's mistake of not using fan favorite Legion characters like Calamity King, Lester Spiffany, Infectious Lass, and Dr. Landro's Hot Nurse?
Or is his Legion destined to crash and burn without these vital characters?

Don't Let's Be Silly.All Bendis and Sook have to do is adhere to a few simple rules. O1) Any single Legionnaire is more powerful than all other Legionnaires combined. O2) There is, somewhere in every Universe, a version of Floyd Belkin. The Floyd Belkin Disambiguation PageO3) If Matter-Eater Lad dies, the Universe dies with him. (Historically true. I will accept any counter-examples you can find.)

One of the silhouettes (#8 on Nighty's numbered pic) has only one arm is visible and actually does have the bulky upper chest profile of Floyd.... and Lester is probably the new financial backer of the team.

Lester and Flynt is kind of genius!
But, sheesh, I totally had to look up who Meyer Qayd was! It's like I've completely forgotten everything about the Legion during the past few years of not thinking about them regularly!

Once the Bendis version is up and running, I can almost guarantee there will be tons of Brainiac 5/Superboy fanfic.

I hope this new Legion has an element of fun to it, whether it's the inclusion of characters like these or just some lighthearted tone like the Reboot had. The last few versions were just too damned joyless.

[snip] Once the Bendis version is up and running, I can almost guarantee there will be tons of Brainiac 5/Superboy fanfic. I want to go along with this, even after all these years... on the condition that they age Brainy up first. That was the main thing which made me keep those fics at arms' length back in the day, though they were by far the most popular for cartoon fans. Actually I liked Brainy/Violet, too. Maybe they could all be together.

It was kind of interesting that the cartoon echoed some of the same relationship from the threeboot at the time - and I doubt that they had much creative crossover.

Well, I know DeMatteis did quite a bit of writing in the second season. But I don't know how much writing he had done for DC before that. I always associated him with Marvel: The Defenders and such.
