There have been multiple versions of the legion over the years. So i thought it might be fun to take the familiar and turn it on its ear.

whether its different power sets, origins, gender, ect. how can you change the Legion?

I'll start.

Monstress- she's still the sweetest and nicest person anyone's ever met. but her powers are being able to conjure monsters from other dimensions. when conjured they lose all sentience and she has completely control over them. but if she loses focus, she loses her control over them as well. if she's knocked out they can return to their dimension(s). able to conjure two to three at a time.

origin: she was exposed to threshold technology, when it was in its infancy and untested. the energy out put from it caused her to form a special relationship with dimensional doorways. at first she could just see them and then she learned she could open then enough to conjure the monsters.

Legion: she joined the Legion after the lost Legionnaires returned from the second galaxy.

Planet:Xanthu.

Thunder- she's still a member of the the Shazam family. but instead of being from the 90th century, she was born in the 30th century.

she was accepted into the legion as a legacy member. her powers qualified her more than enough. but with her powers being a duplicate it made it harder for her to gain entrance till, the legacy status was written in.

she met the legion during the battle with Mordru. He was about to absorb Binderaan and her for that matter because of her magical properties. He almost succeed till the Legion intervened. Weakened by his attack, the magic of Shazam was almost extinguished. but to help protect it, she used her connection to the Rock of Eternity to have it blow up and scatter its magic to the far ends of the universe. now she's on a quest to restore the rock.

Catspaw: The Dominators' experimentation of April did not turn her into a feral cat, but instead unlocked her mutant power. Much like Karma from the New Mutants, Catspaw is able to take complete control of another being's body and they become her catspaw.

The new Monstress and Catspaw are awesome character concepts!

It always kind of bugged me that Catspaw would take that name originally as a Legionnaire considering that's kind of exactly what she was intended to be; this way removes the uncomfortable connotations.....then again, Danielle Foccart named herself after the psychotic robot that nearly killed her and a bunch of Legionnaires, so go figure... [Razz]

How about a new Chameleon Girl?

Unlike the Legion's Chameleon Boy, Chameleon Girl isn't Durlan and she can't change her shape. She is one of the Guriini, an evolutionary offshoot of the Gordanian race. The Guriini are relative newcomers to the interstellar stage, having spent most of their existence living peaceful lives of isolation and hiding from the more aggressive Gordanians' attempts to enslave or kill them.

Like the Gordanians, the Guriini are reptillian. The Guriini are bred more for stealth than war however. They are generally slightly shorter and more slender than humans. They are amazingly agile, with prehensile tails and the ability to cling to almost any surface. Like an Earth chameleon, their eyes are bulbous and able to focus independently, giving them 360 degree vision. While they can't change their shape, they can change color...this is an autonomous response triggered by strong emotional states rather than anything they can usually control consciously though. When frightened, they will blend into their surroundings; when enraged, they will take on violent red and orange shades to appear more intimidating; when despondent, they will wear more muted colors, and so on...

The Guriini in general are more than happy living on their own arboreal world with very limited contact with the rest of the galaxy, though a few of the more adventurous among them have journeyed out into the UP. Chameleon Girl is one of these adventurous souls. Just like Chameleon Boy she took her name in reference to her similarity to an Earth chameleon, though ironically she had never even heard of Chameleon Boy until she arrived at Legion Headquarters for her tryout...

Next up...
Dream Girl - is a dream walker. she can enter peoples dreams and learn information from them and retain the information. but she can not interact with their dreams. she must also be asleep herself to do it.

She never got to join the Legion due to her always having to be asleep in order to enter peoples dreams. she joined the Subs instead and has become a valued and steady member. She has learned hand to hand combat and the use of various weapons. But she prefers to stay and coordinate from the Subs headquarters as their top tactical officer.

her relationship with Starboy still flourished as he could not resist her beauty and charm.

Dawnstar - still a winged Anasazi from a colony named Starhaven, Dawnstar's mutant body generates generate light in great quantities, and she also possesses limited empathic powers, allowing her to sense emotion, and, to a lesser extent, influence the emotional states of others, heightening or dampening their own current feelings.

Typically, she blinds an evildoer with a dazzling burst of golden light, and then concentrates on amplifying their sense of confusion and uncertainty, as they stagger around sightless, sometimes inciting full-blown panic attacks!

While her wings are capable of bearing her aloft, she finds Earth's gravity cumbersome, and is quite thankful for the assist of her Flight Ring!

An intensely spiritual person, Dawnstar has not yet fully come to grips with the fast-paced and physically combative nature of Legion membership, being more of a diplomat and spiritual advisor than a brawler, and once reacted poorly particularly to an attempt to grapple and restrain her, broadcasting light and her own fear in all directions uncontrollably. Embarassed by this reaction, she has been spending extra time in the gym, practicing martial arts, less for the combat benefit, than to acclimate herself to the immediacy and intimacy of hand to hand conflict.

That would have been my first choice for 'Amp Girl' to give her the power to give not just herself, but also others, a 'super-adrenaline boost' that makes them stronger, tougher and faster, temporarily, followed by a hard 'crash.'

Star Boy - astrophysics student Thom Kallor thought he'd hit the lottery when he beat out thousands of other applicants for a chance to intern in R.J. Brande's stellar fusion program.

Unfortunately, a flawed containment chamber cracked during the initial testing, and Thom was sealed in the lab during the breach by security measures meant to protect the research team.

It took almost a year to bleed off the excess energy that took root in the young intern, but a trace lingered, and now, as Star Boy, able to generate dozens of basketball sized spheres of solar plasma and direct them remotely, he has joined the Legion of Super-Heroes.

So far, Monstress is my favorite. I love that power! (It reminds me of an old Alpha Flight character named Laura Dean, who could call up a 'Goblyn' from another dimension to protect her.)
