I decided to start a thread which would be about those unnamed members of the Legion Academy. Those dozens of unnamed cadets who appeared during the Silver Age, those unnamed cadets from the Reboot Legion, the United Planets Military Cadets of the FYL, and those unnamed applicants with their own unique powers and appearances...
*"Balm" or "Oceangirl": The green skinned woman who, at first glance, you would believe had water or sea-based powers, but turned out to have super-speed. *"Herculean Lad" or "Olympian Lad": That big, blonde, peach-skinned fellow who sort of resembled Hercules. *"Tank": The big red and yellow fellow with the small, purple head. *"Box" or "That Floating Box Thing That's Sort of Like Quislet and Computo Combined" *The Skreaks
I haven't started a new thread and ages. So who wants to pick up the ball?

And here they are, including the infamous Floating Foxlike Creature Boy (who Chris Batista once described as a Rocket Raccoon homage prior to Rocket's revival under Giffen & DnA):

Um.... not to argue with you Kid Quantum 2, but I think there are 21 trainees there.

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

I don't know if it's the same-same costumes everyone has on, but the robot dude (Babbage?) is the only one that jumps out at me from that scene.
The hopefuls from the Baxter series #14, on the other hand, seemed much more distinctive and intriguing to me.
'Tiger Girl,' Energy Boy and 'Flotsam & Jetsam' seem potentially cool, as do backgrounders like Westerner and 'Urk.'
I've always had a soft spot for Visi-Lad, too. (Or his googly-eyed Marvel counterpart, Peepers / Occult, of Mutant Force / the Resistants.)

quote:Originally posted by Chris Batista: Stone Boy for sure. I always meantfor Blok to be his own charcter. Thought it would be cool if this Stone Boy had some kind of power over earth matter.
And, remembering that...
quote:Originally posted by Chris Batista: I want everyone to keep in mind that there was very little time to create these characters. It would have been nice if they had all been mapped out in advance. I tried to get a few classics in there for the fans but the book had to get done. I'm glad that they were received well in spite of the rush.
...here's some other ones he mentioned and gave ideas for in this thread (I've left out ones that he had no ideas for, and snipped a couple of mentions of characters that had already been rebooted in significant roles, like Mysa)...

"I think she... may have been immensely strong due to her manipulation of her mass.
"May have been Reflecto...Did'nt want him to look like every other caucasion Legionaire."
"My tribute to Rocket Racoon, Pakrat from Atari Force and Starfox. He would be very fast and incredibly agile. Like trying to catch a squirrel. Fun loving prankster but very feral when cornered. Never gave him a name. Any suggestions?
Never had a name but was definetly going to be aquatic based. Got that shark/dolphin hybrid look.
May have been a valley girl Negative Man. Similar powers without the drawback of leaving your helpless body behind.
"reptilian speedster. Needs containment suit to harness powers. Powers would not be the same as XS's powers. Would'nt need to run to access speed.
"Inspired by LiveWire(superman animated series.)but with spectral powers."
"Brilliant Psionic. Mental processing can manifest psionically. Who says Brainy is the only smart one."
