22. Val Armorr of Earth, Karate Kid (" of Omega Colony) L* Karate King, Samurai, Sensei, Shogun, Tao, (" of Lythyl the Omega Colony) L* Black Dragon, Toshiaki White Crane*, Valentina Armorr L* Noriko Kashu, Princess Projectra/Queen Projectra, Iris Jacobs, Lialla L* Definitely scrutable. Blunt. Forward, open, sometimes rash, impulsive, hot-headed. He is exactly as he seems. Courageous, loyal, and bright, believe it or not. He can lead, but mostly prefers to be alone or operate with relative autonomy. He'll work with a group, but prefers many options to many orders. He can think deep, but doesn't want to - he is, in many ways, an artist! L* Here's a guy who's mentall disciplined himself to such a degree that he can give Superboy a run for his money. The problem is, Karate Kid has trouble dealing with teammates who work with and expect so much less of themselves. Well-matched with Princess Projectra, who also has occasional trouble regarding her teammates as worthy equals.
23. Hart Druiter of Myar, Nemesis Kid L* Nemesis, Nemesis King L* None L* None
24. Andrew "Andy" Nolan of Earth, Ferro Lad, Ferro, Iron Legion L* Ferro Man L* Douglas Nolan, Luiza Karamonte Nolan, Nancy Nolan L* Inferno, Violet, Dr. Mollie D'Ennum L* Being a repulsive freak of nature has given Andrew a devil-may-care streak that almost borders on fatalism. There seems to be a death wish lurking somewhere in there, and a determination to have as much fun and shake up his teammates as much as possible until the inevitable end comes.
25. Projectra "Jeckie" of Orando, Princess Projectra, Queen Projectra, Sensor Girl, Sensor (Jeka Wynzorr), Coiled Legion L* Sensor Woman L* Amb. Ganet, Hagga, King Charlz, King Voxv, Pharoxx, Prince Wyllm, Queen Kathren L* Karate Kid, Chameleon, Ultra Boy L* Was not a political admission. She is proud of her noble background and yet does not want to be separated from her friends by station. KK is a natural for her because he'd act the same before the King of Razamataz as he would with Sam the Streetsweeper. She'd say, "I'm a Princess" and he'd say, "Far out! Wanna screw?" Opposites do attract - her couth and class offsets his rowdy behavior and vastly different culture. She is somewhat lost in this technological world, he is at home. She is a mystic, he has grown up amid science - and yet, perhaps the Oriental half of Val is more in tune with Projectra's background. She is very duty-oriented, and to conduct herself in public, anyway, as a princess, is very important to her. She believes in her own nobility and that belief is the source of what courage, honor, loyalty and strength she has. L* A regal demeanor, with all that implies. Perhaps because of inbreeding within noble lines, she seems especially susceptible to some debilitating mental viruses, but Jeckie has admirably rallied back from those difficulties.

26. Tasmia Mallor of Talok VIII, Shadow Lass, Shady, Shadow Woman, Umbra, Dark Legion L* Shadow Lady L* Grev Mallor, Kahnya Natanie, Lydea Mallor, Lyrissa Mallor, Tarnia Tolarn L* Brainiac 5, Mon-el/Valor/M'Onel, Eltro Gand L* A romantic, a busybody, probably a gossip and a bright, sexy, sultry, swinging chick who is a lot of fun for Mon-el. L* She's a great hero, but also a bit of a schemer and manipulator. Has a dark side and can be a brat. All of which makes her a great partner for stuffy Mon-el, getting him to loosen up and enjoy life a little more.

27. Condo Arlik of Phlon, Chemical King L* Catalyst, Chemical Kid L* Darvon Arlik, Volta Arlik L* Invisible Kid L* Hmm. I pictured him as a rich kid who sees this Legion biz as one big, happy, nifty-neat adventure. A likeable 30th Century kid-from-the-big-house-in-the-hill who never saw hard times and approaches disaster, chaos, and destitution with a let-them-eat-cake-naivete. He is a real chin-up character who firmly believes things will work out because they always have for him. It's fun for him... to the end. L* A minor character that we never wrote and never got to use much. Robert Loren Fleming's excellent Secret Origin seems like the definitive take on the character.
28. Brin Londo of Zoon/Zuun, Lone Wolf, Timber Wolf, T-Wolf, Furball, (" of Rimbor) L* Wolf Boy, Wolf Man L* Bran Londo, Brin Londo, Dr. Mar Londo, Karth Arn*, Loni Londo, V'Layla "Nanette" Keely ^*^ Amb. Sten, An Ryd, Arna Nah, Crav Nah, Cub Nah, Mytra Nah, Ronn Nah, Stig Ah L* Lightning Lass/Light Lass, Saturn Girl, Marella Tao, Gemini, Jewel, Apparition L* Second to Ultra Boy as the Legion's leading fruitcake. He is probably as neurotic as Ultra Boy, but exclusively about his own identity. He covers his interior uncertainty with coldness and hostility. Fortunately, Light Lass is enough of a romantic to be turned on by this aloof stance. Ultra Boy thinks he knows himself while Wolf knows he doesn't. This alone makes Wolf a more palatable personality. He is the type who will make wisecracks and noise to hide his inward uncertainty. He wants their approval and acceptance. Actually, being a goody-goody Legionnaire is hard for him, because he is more of the James Bond type, just a little vicious and nasty even though he's with the good guys. I think Light Lass had to lead him by the hand to bed, but thanks to her, he undoubtedly does well there now. L* Our idea for Brin was that his Zuunium treatments were a kind of super-steroid, giving him powers, but also warping his mind. We thought the look of his Cockrum appearance was by far Brin's best and tried to establish that as his actual native appearance, but never got that story published.

29. Drake Burroughs of Earth, Wildfire, NRG (" AND Dirk Morgna's remains), Atom'x (Randall Burroughs of Xanthu) AND Blast-Off (Jahr Drake Ningle of Earth), Fire Legion L* Energy Boy L* Prof. Vultan, Squire Burroughs, Zera Vultan L* Kerri Wong, Dawnstar/Shikari, Lamprey, Nightwind, Shikari L* Bleah. How dull. A hothead, yes. A bright but juvenile person (?) who is dull, dull, dull. L* He always seemed like the flattest, most 2-D character of the lot. But in a way, he was the perfect character to take the role of the inevitable upstart, the loudmouthed newcomer who just doesn't understand or respect the greatness that proceeded him. I liked him a lot more as the traditional hero of his original couple appearances, and he was on his way to being one of my all-time favorites, until they came up with the Marvel-inspired hothead business.

30. Troy Stewart of Marzal, Tyroc, Scream of the Devil L* Echo, Sonic Boy, Sonic Man, Sonik L* None L* Computo II L* Another painfully 2-D character and an anachronistic one to boot. During the Giffen run, he blossomed into a powerful, dedicated presence, a voice of experience.

31. Dawnstar of Starhaven, Dawny, Bounty, Shikari (Shikari "Kari" Lonestar of the Kwai of the Second Galaxy) L* Bumblebee, Dragonfly, Locator Lass, Locus, Pathfinder, (Thera Shayla of Thanagar) L* Mist-Rider, Moonwalker L* Wildfire, Jhodan L* She came across mostly as Marvel pretension with not much real personality, but we tried to deal with her as a hero who was, at once, aloof and troubled, cocky and vulnerable.

32. Blok of Korlon/Dryad L* Stone Boy, Stone Man L* Brik, Strata L* White Witch L* Naive, mixed up, but with a good heart. Seeking answers that were beyond his comprehension.

33. Jacques Foccart of Earth, Invisible Kid II, Evanesce L* Command Kid, Command King, Negation, Occupant, Skinwalker, Tenant L* Danielle Foccart, Francine Foccart L* Infectious Lass L* Had all the tools, but was slightly lacking in self-confidence, so everything he accomplished took a toll.

34. Mysa Nal of Naltor, Hag, Xola Aq, White Witch, Jewel, Lady Mysa (of Zarrox the Sorcerer's World) L* Amethyst, Witch Girl, Witch Woman, (" of Zerox/Tharn the Sorcerer's World) L* Kenz Nuhor, Kiwa Nal, Norak Kun, Nura Nal, Yvyya Val L* Blok, Mordru, Timber Wolf, Dragonmage L* Mysa has difficulty achieving her full potential as a sorceress because the ultimate source of her power was her love for Mordru, one of the most reprehensible despots of all time. This has left her with a fragile psyche and an ongoing desire to minimize and avoid conflict.

35. Brek Bannin of Tharr, Polar Boy L* Coldsnap, Frostbite, Icecap, Icicle, Polar Man, Sub-Zero, (" of Tharn) L* None L* Stiletta, Styx L* He's sort of the eternal freshman among all the cool seniors. Just doesn't quite have the self-confidence and accomlished manner that would allow him to come off as a full-fledged big man on campus. But he tries harder and wants it more than anyone, making him a far more valuable member than many of his teammates would care to admit.
37. Pol Krinn of Braal, Magnetic Kid L* Axis, Cobalt Kid, Cosmic Boy, Cosmic Man, Cosmos, Gauss, Lodestone, Magnetic Kid, Magnetic King, Magno, Magno Lad, Polestar, Repulse L* Dyrk Magz, Ewa Krinn, Gen. Moss, Hu Krinn, Kort Grezz, Lev Magz, Loomis, Omar Magz, Pol Jath Krinn, Pol Krinn, Polla, Repulse, Subofcr. Collazo, Trin Magz L* Polla, Lightning Lass
