Interesting pairing, as I have strong feelings on how these two have been handled post-boot.
On the one hand, I finally liked Gim. He really came into his own characterwise. Basically a good guy, kinda thick and stubborn, but always wanting to be the best and do the right thing. His death, more than Vi's "Eye"ness, signalled the beginning of the reboot's decline for me.
Umbra... Shady was always a favorite of mine. I was happy to see her reappear... but UMBRA?? So why did she have a big frickin' "S" incorporated into her costume?! I loved her new "darker" personality, until she became a one-note character. It wasn't until DnA got ahold of her in LLost that I started warming to her again. I can't WAIT to see issue 24!

Wow! I just realized that, postboot, Gim and Tasmia have never met. I don't know why, but that just seems so odd considering how long they both served in the preboot with everyone else. Come to think of it, have the two really ever interacted or had a scene together in the preboot aside from meetings and team gatherings?

It also stands for "Sexy!" Rrrow!

Actually Gim and Shady would make an interesting pairing. There both essentially warriors, but of very different sorts. Gim is the ultimate "loyal soldier", the by-the-book star-of-the-academy kind, while Shady is the "planetary champion", the lone symbol and representative of her people, the chosen-by-her-birthright to train to kick ass.
I don't know... I find it kind of appealing in a way...

Hmm, that could make for some interesting scenes, especially the first time Tasmia decided not to follow orders. I think they'd both need to lighten up a bit before anything romantic could happen, though.

I'm impressed that this topic about Shadow Lass and Colossal Boy has turned into a discussion about Leviathan and Umbra. It's times like this when the preboot seems ever distant.
I think Umbra would be annoyed by Leviathan's power. Like she'd prefer a man who was powerful at his regular size. I conversely think that Gim would be very attracted to the exoticly beautiful Tasmia.

You're right Dean - SL & CB are two different characters from Umbra and Leviathan. I didn't even notice what I was thinking!
Shadow Lass is fixed in my mind as an attachment to Mon-el/Valor - but it could have been interesting to have Gim consoling her after the loss of Mon-el (if Yera wasn't in the picture) - even back then, two very different personalities. But he had an odd mix of loyal puppy-dog and strength that she might go for.

Why is that, Thriftshop? Do you think it indicates some deep-seated aversion to grumpy blue women and really, really tall guys?
