I think Cham would be excellent, especially if they tuned in to some of the fighting skills he displayed in the first LOST series, other boot that it was. sigh
This Tasmia is always trying to compensate for her emotions, or letting them run away with her to really be a sound commander, imo, though. I'd vote for Umbra in a heartbeat, though.

She is also my least favorite and I can't understand why anyone would vote for her....unless it is a poll about which member to kill. I would not mind that at all as Jo needs to be more defined than just the second half of Tinya and Jo. There are lots of possibilities for Jo without her.

*tears up* I want the Reboot legion back!! I WANT IT!!
I feel kind of bad. I don't put nearly as much thought into who I vote for. I just vote for my favorite characters. *blush*

Phantom Girl or Duplicate Damsel this time.
I like this current version of Phantom Girl, so I'm sort of voting for a favourite too. Tasmia's just kind of emotionally messed up these days.
Lu could be replaced by Thom at the Academy and whip the Legion into shape. Plus she takes no crap from Brainy. I suspect Tinya would go easier on him, given the Secret Origins new backstory. Always dangerous to go easy on the green kid.
Set
There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Ha! True. He's trouble.
My favorite thing about Tinya is her general nice-ness.
IMO, too many male writers decide that, to make a female character 'interesting' they have to make her be aloof or critical of others or catty or otherwise an unpleasant person (or take it a step further and make them an alcoholic or whatever, like Carol Danvers / Ms. Marvel and Theresa / Siryn from X-Factor, which worked for Tony / Stark, but isn't a magic bullet to make a character 'interesting.')
Male characters can be happy go lucky, like Spider-man, or 'boy scouts' like Superman or Captain America or Shazam/Captain Marvel, but female characters have to be 'edgy' (and by 'edgy,' too often the male writers make them seem bitchy, instead) to be considered 'interesting.'
So it's nice to have the occasional female superhero who, like Captain America or Superman or Spiderman, doesn't have a ginormous chip on their shoulder and comes across as a nice person, who is a hero because she wants to be a hero and not because she needs to 'prove' something.
Lu, IMO, has been recently portrayed as increasingly snippy, hypercritical and in-your-face argumentative, and I don't remember that being part of her characterization. Again, IMO, it's not making her 'edgy' or making her character seem 'deep' or 'real,' just kind of making her seem kind of unpleasant to be around (when Jiminez used Night Girl to contrast her blowing up at the Academy students, it was at least two female characters reflecting different reactions, but now that it's Chuck always being 'the reasonable one' and providing the constrast it feels like the old 'women are too emotional to be in charge' trope).

This Tinya seems less cliquish than her pre-boot self and she is nice. She could be a peacemaker; I see Mon-el in that same role, for different reasons: his legendary history, although not Valor-grade, puts him somewhat beyond the other legionnaires.
Lu has been shown to be contentious lately, except for that scene where she put Glorith to bed. Comments from Chuck indicate that it's largely an act. Perhaps she isn't that well suited for the Academy - she's there because of her husband. She's not my first choice for leader, but I wouldn't mind seeing her back in the Legion and send Thom to the Academy.

Reboot Chameleon and Umbra were great, although the present Cham is quite good too. Present Tasmia, ehhh...
Agree with the posters who said this Tinya is much more pleasant (and with good leadership potential) than the Preboot one!
