Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Still Another Person Below Me

Comic books written by Mark Millar.

SAPBM,

If you had to choose between a fancy/schmancy "graphic novel" and a humble little digest-format comic, both with the same page count of 96, which would you buy?

Hatred and cruelty.

SAPBM,

For one month, you can only communicate with one person. They will carry out all tasks for you that require you to speak to someone else. Who would this person be?

Invisible Brainiac. I will make him work

SAPBM,

The Fantastic Four’s powers are based on the four elements - earth, air, fire, and water. What 4 DC heroes would you use for the 4 elements as a super group?

Now I'm scared

Earth: Terra III (young and idealistic)
Air: Cyclone (legacy, brainy though not completely in scientific sense)
Fire: Fire (more experienced, some black ops/government experience too)
Water: Tsunami (has the most experience)

Also a nice multi-cultural / multi-ethnic team.

SAPBM,

you're given a free six-month tour of religious sites around the world. But you have to choose one religion (i.e. if you choose Catholic, you only visit Catholic churches). Which one do you choose?

Buddhist. (Just being shrewd here, as I know it would match up with most of the places I've always dreamed of seeing.)

See All Places, Be Marvelous

How's the weather over there right now?

A lot of countries with Buddhist majorities are stunning (Thailand, Myanmar... Nepal has some great Buddhist ruins too)

It's cold and windy, but thankfully not raining. Boy, I'm tired though. was thinking of having some wine on my apartment building's rooftop but I think I will doze off soon.

SAPBM,

what are you most looking forward to this coming weekend?

My great nephew Alex’s wedding. It will not be a red wedding

SAPBM,

What was your favorite tv show when you were a kid?

Scooby-Doo Movies. I thought it was hilarious that they had so many guest stars from both real life and other cartoons.

SAPBM

What are you most looking forward to in the fall?

Halloween. Every year for the last few years, I've meant to go out in costume, only to lose my nerve. Perhaps this year will be the one?

SAPBM,

What's your favorite 1970s horror movie?

Carrie.

I haven't watched movie. But Carrie, I could relate to her poor outcast status. and being punished for not doing anything wrong, but simply because of who she is...

SAPBM,

Single favorite comic book issue of all time?

Of all time? Wow.

Well...the first one that came to mind was New Mutants Annual 2, where Cypher and Warlock are the last heroes standing against Mojo. Beautiful Alan Davis art, and my girl Amara comes off really well. Also, Chris Claremont's story is more relevant than ever in this age of messed-up former child stars. So...yeah, New Mutants Annual 2.

SAPBM,

Favorite comic book (could be a single issue, a mini-series, or a run on a monthly series) drawn by Alan Davis?

Alan Dvis has had some beautiful covers for the Reboot-era Legion, but I can't think of a single interior he drew (I may be wrong).

I'll go with JLA: The Nail. I thought it had a nice message to it. And it did show how important Superman is as an inspiration. Now, whether his importance is overstated is another debate entirely.

SAPBM,

Favorite single Legion issue, mini or story?

Going to be controversial here.

LSH v4 #38 "Requiem" from 5YL era

Whatever you might think of the increasing death and destruction in the 5YL period (and this was certainly one to cap it off, topped only by the final End of an Era with the whole universe going) I found the execution of this story extremely well done. Made me cry. The followup issue showing how everyone tried to deal with the trauma was also brilliant.

Uplifting? Not really and yet what I found of the darkness of the 5YL era was that sometimes that was when the Legion shone out the most.

SAPBM

Favourite Legion story you didn't like but admired how it was done?

I'm tempted to say LSH v4 38 as well. I thought that the destruction of Earth came out of nowhere. On the other hand, I admired how it did make me feel (I cried!) and how well it was executed. And if I remember right, the issue even alluded to how much of a surprise it was, and how crushing it must have been; freeing Earth after a long struggle only to have it literally blow up in everyone's face.

Another one was the DC One Million tie-in, which came after Zero Hour and before the Threeboot. I didn't quite like the story because it was a bit too "weird" for me. And I wasn't too happy about how some Legion worlds/species evolved 1 million years in the future. But, I did appreciate the boldness and creativity, and the story itself was done pretty well. I guess what I didn't like about it was seeing how the Legion's legacy was not as strong as I had hoped.

Same comment about LSH v4 Annual 7, the Legends of the Dead Earth tie-in.

SAPBM,

Same question.

I wouldn’t say the whole story but the death of Sun Boy in the last Legion series. It makes sense that in a crash someone would die. Phantom Girl turning coward does not.

SAPBM,

Who would you cast for Lightning Lad, Cosmic Boy, and Saturn Girl?

Lightning Lad: KJ Apa
Cosmic Boy: Darren Criss
Saturn Girl: Bryce Dallas Howard

SAPBM,

You can have the powers of 5 Legionnaires or Legion-related characters EXCEPT Duplicate Boy, the Kryptonians or the Daxamites. Which 5 would you pick?

Princess Projectra
Phantom Girl
Gates
Blok
Saturn Girl

SAPBM,

Same question

Kinetix (never have to buy new clothes or furniture again as I can just repair / alter the ones I have; let me lift heavy objects etc...)
Veilmist (teleports like Gates, but with a much easier to control power as she teleports discrete objects rather than anything in a teleport disk)
Computo (extremely useful as technology advances; can do much of my work for me and keep me hidden; can be used to break into the tech industry and earn me $$$$$!)
Princess Projectra (when combined with Gates' and Kinetix's and Computo's powers, would let me travel anywhere! also useful for everyday chores)
Triad (added to the above, would let me keep a day job and secret identity while traveling around too )

SAPBM,

If you could have any job in the world, what would you choose?

I like the one I have now. It isn’t mindless, but not too taxing. I get to use my customer service skills. And at quitting time I can leave it behind.

SAPBM,

Super strength, super speed, invisibility, telepathy, flight, etc.are powers lots of people would like to have. But what silly, weak, kind of useless super power in a comic would you wouldn’t mind having? (It has to be a power a character actually has. No making up a power)

Matter-Eater Lad's (or Calorie Queen's)! ability to eat anything. Ok, let's go with Tenzil so I don't have the strength.

I would never go hungry again; and I could save tons on food. And I'm guessing that Tenzil's power comes with the ability to not get any sort of disease that is orally transmitted too, and maybe some other immune system perks. Hm, story idea...

SAPBM,

Same question, cause it's a great one.

Well, it is a character I created, but I created him here over 10 years ago: Time-Teller Lad's power to tell what time it is anywhere in the universe.

SAPBM,

What the heck. Same question.

Arm-Fall-Off Boy in the version where he still had control over the arms when they left him. (i think one of them could do that, or am I thinking of someone else?)

Yesterday I had to crawl under the house to check the floorboards. Imagine how much easier it would have been if I could have just sent one of my arms with a phone/camera and watched the result on a screen while waiting outside.

SAPBM,

Same question.

I would go for Triplicate Girl?s power. I could go to work and lounge around at home at the same time

SAPBM,

If you could be any wild animal, which would you want to be?

I would be an eagle. Always wanted to fly.

SAPBM,

You will be on quarantine for a year. someone gives you an unlimited amount of money to buy only 5 items at the grocery store (but in any quantity you want). Which 5 do you buy?

Diet Coke
Meat trays of ham, turkey, and roast beef
Apples
Chocolate cake
French fries

SAPBM,

You have one week to live. What would you do for the week?
