From Starhaven;
Over the ten centuries humanity has spread across the galaxy, dozens of ethnic groups have sought out places where they could celebrate their unique heritage, and the Anasazi of Starhaven were certainly not the only group of First Nations peoples who ended up far from the planet of their birth.
Starhaven, the first of its kind, often served as a gathering point for colonists from First Nations-settled worlds, becoming a cosmopolitan mecca of sorts, for people who shared a Native American heritage.
And so it comes to pass that two of the most celebrated 'native' heroes of Starhaven are not Anasazi by birth. The hero duo of Hue & Cry consist of Pachu'A, an albino Hopi man with light and color manipulating abilities, and Iztali, a Meztizo woman with the ability to increase, diminish or change the frequencies of sound in her presence.
While Iztali has the wings shared by many native Starhavenites, and is able to enhance her flight speed through the use of harmonic vibrations to create a slipstream of air that accelerates her flight, Pachu'A does not have that modification, and prefers to travel by sky-cycle, using his own unique ability to drain away the color of his appearance, rendering him all but invisible, while leaving him with a colorful palette of absorbed light to use for their heroic exploits.
[I always loved how Marvel's Cloak & Dagger took a catchphrase term and used it as the name of a pair of superheroes, and wanted to come up with a similar duo based on a phrase like Smoke & Mirrors or Night & Day or Shock & Awe or Sturm & Drang or Rock & Roll. Hue & Cry was a bit more esoteric, but fit for a team that had powers like those of Color Kid and Tyroc.]

I am a big fan of that naming convention for pairs when it works well with the characters; Hue and Cry sound really cool, they would have a great visual together too!

As ideas go, Hue & Cry kind of sprang out of nowhere. I'd been thinking of duos based off of catchphrases (a la Cloak & Dagger) and this thread and that I hadn't come up with any Starhavenite heroes and BAM, chocolate in my peanut butter...
I thought it was a bit odd that I'd come up with a Hyrkraian hero before one from Starhaven!

Delin Hianna - one of the few people who instead of developing Cryokinesis to combat the heat of Tharr, she developed the ability to manipulate heat and flame as well as cast a sun flare. she uses her manipulation powers to increase the strength and intensity of her sun flare. But its range isn't very far. she is able to cast it up to 3 meters. When she manipulates its heat intensity it can grow a bit bigger as well. she also has a scorch touch, which she is able to do because she can manipulate her body temperature.
however, she can not leave the planet. this is one of the downsides to her abilities. since she is a being of heat manipulation, she relies on the heat keep her systems going. If she left Tharr, she would freeze to death as their would be no heat for her to absorb and redirect. Even in a transuit, which can replicate whatever environmental needs she could have can not replicate the amount of heat she needs to survive.
As a youth she was recruited into a government run training program. the government sought to put her abilities to use for the betterment of their world. As their sole hero on planet, she has come to be a shining example for all those who are different and have similar abilities as hers.
Even though Polar Boy, is renowned and their most famous hero, the government still supports and promotes Delin as their premier super hero, she is Siharra.

So if she left Tharr, she'd look like the reversed version of Mr Freeze.

Delin is a cool name. Definitely part of the fun of coming up with Legion-ish characters is coming up with whacked out names for them, in the style of 'Reep Daggle' and 'Salu Digby.'
I like how her powers come with a drawback, restricting her to Tharr (or requiring her to wear a 'pyro-suit,' as Shining Son noted, the reverse of Mr. Freeze's 'cryo-suit').

When you think about it, she's probably one of the few on Tharr who are comfortable there (the rest of the population tend to bundle up in fur-trimmed thinsulate, don't they?), so the restriction is less onerous than to others Tharrans.

H'lven is an arboreal world located in sector 1014, home of a race of sentient rodent-like creatures nicknamed Monks for their resemblance to chipmunks.hile the Monks are the dominant species on the planet, there are other intelligent races on H'lven that resemble anthropomorphic versions of moles, foxes, bears, and eagles. (source Wikipedia).
A strike force on this planet that fights against greedy corporations on a global and interstellar level that are slowly ruining their planet. the team is made up of one member from all five species of this planets population.
Chomper - a mutated chipmunk, whose grown 5 feet in height from the standard Monk, which is 2 feet tall. he gained super strength and durability, like Matter Eater Lad, he can chomp threw anything. due to his increase in size, he isn't as nimble as other Monks, to be able to fly from tree to tree; he uses hover discs to get around. he also has a shorter tail then most Monks.
He was Once your average Monk named V'li and he worked for McCaulney Industries. They had recently come to H'lven to mine for Verilium; a new element that had been discovered. it was used in the process to create a power batteries for a new starship drive McCaulney industries were developing. He was a minor in the Southern Hemisphere of H'lven. One day there was a cave in and he was stuck underground for almost three days. during this time the radiation from the Verilium seeped into his mining suit which only could filter out the radiation for 30 hours at a time. the radiation changed him. most would have died but he some how absorbed the radiation and it enhanced his racial traits. He was freed by one of his future teammates. He spent months recuperating in a hospital and after some rehab he found his strength and durability increased. He began fighting against McCaulney's intrusion. As McCaulney's agents became more forceful, their was a war that broke out over the Verilium and that is when Cho'per formed his strike force. As the battle with McCaulney wages they do their best to liberate the southern hemisphere from his influence. The rest of the planet is under the assumption that isn't a war. but Cho'per knows that it is.

There is nothing about this that is not amazing. ^_^

Thanks Raz! I've been doing a bit of research trying to find other planets that could possibly still exist in the Legion's time period that we never see much of!

Enwa is a planet of yellow-skinned humanoids with large eyes designed to help them function during the long Enwan night.
The mysterious heroine known as Catseye had a sister who, along with her Terran lover, were killed by White Triangle terrorists (this is canon, check Legionnaires 27 for details!). Catseye used her special ability to reflect light with her eyes and tracked down the four Daxamites who ravaged Earth and destroyed Trom, punishing them severely when the Legion stranded them on a red sun planet (Legionnaires Annual 2). It was said that when the SPs finally picked them up, all 4 had become gibbering messes of themselves. They do not sleep well even until now.
In addition to being able to cast light beams from her eyes, Catseye has impressive acrobatic and physical combat skills. Her light-reflecting abilities range from gentle ambient light to full-on lasers capable of tearing through metal. Catseye has made it her mission to track down all members of the White Triangle who were involved in terrorist acts - especially the ones who murdered Trom.
