I use that threeboot desgination reluctantly, but I bow to the majority. 'Classic' here means as appearing in the ACTION updated LSH.
Which version of LSH characters would you want to read about most in future stories of the team? Let's also stipulate that the character would be as seen in the most recent appearance of the version chosen.

For me, it'd be reboot. He's the only Cos that I've viewed as successfully inspirational and deserving of the 'founder adulation' as he appeared in actual stories. 'Classic' would be second.

Oh, definitely Reboot-era Cos only. 3boot Cos was cute with the goats and all, but mostly a jerk. For "classic", I would take the Bierbaum's SW6 version.

definitely not Threeboot. He's worn out his welcome for years to come. I can see your strong case for Reboot Rokk. I've usually liked that version. Classic Rokk thus far reminds me of the TMK Rokk, without as much "time off" or the Imsk war. So I'm very inclined to like this version, too.
An older, more experienced Rokk makes sense in the theorized combo Legion, so I'd choose Classic Rokk there. But I wouldn't object to new Reboot tales with that Rokk.

Would you also pick 'Classic' Rokk if he was the only Cosmic Boy for the foreseeable future? That's what I'm getting at.
There were a few SW6 versions that I'd pick, too-- and a couple of 5YL ones. But those seem out of play as far as DC's currently concerned. Maybe L3W (Legion of Three Worlds) will be more inclusive than we've been told. But I doubt it.

Reboot was a bit too behind-the-scenes cocky for me--"I'll mastermind a scheme to take down the President and leave most of the legion out of it."
And threeboot took that to the extreme--"I'll mastermind the resolution to all of the legion's problems because it's all about me."
Classic Cos was more human if only because he had the Hag's mirror hanging over his future.

Yes, in that case I'd pick Classic Rokk.

Reboot Rokk was definitely the first "Cosmic Boy" I ever cared about other than the 5YL version. The way he was written there, for the first time you could really see him as the center of the Legion. Yes, he was kind of arrogant, but you could see that the Legion really needed that confidence to ground everyone.
Classic was just too generic until Levitz got hold of him, and 3Boot really just took the arrogance too far.

I vote for "Classic" Rokk because he reflected the idealism of the Legion's founding better than later versions--and he looked great in a bustier!

1/2 Classic, 1/2 Reboot Cos for me since I really like Rokk as the 3 time Magno Ball Champion before he founded the Legion. And I liked his Cockrum/Grell costume.

I'm going to go with 'Classic' Imra. 'Cause she's a freakin' *historic* character that has *never* received her due!
I'd hope that she gets to grow her hair out, though. I'm not digging the concentration camp look.

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Classic or Threeboot for Imra. Either works, but not the current Action Imra, who looks plain awful.
Oh yes, I am that shallow.
