Truth be told, I wouldn't have thought about bringing in the rest of the LMB if it weren't for the body of work the rest of you did.
One thing my Dark Oval co-writers particularly shine at is creating new characters! Peebz' Drinking Buddies, Dev's extended Em family and Angdar Fel, Lardy's Lard Knights and the Taylors, Cobie's Space Knights Templar, Tempest's shades, and so on...

i love that Brainy and Shikari and Wildfire are your faves because i feel like i had the hardest time writing them. lol
Hi Omni,
I echo what Ex said - I love how you stay as true as possible to the voices and histories of these Legionnaires. I think you've done a great job of keeping it as a continuation to the series.

*blush* Thanks Omni! I am about to post the first part of a multi-parter featuring the League of Super-Assassins..
I agree with the other commenters (commentators?), you have done a great job of giving everyone in your Legion their own voice, and they are all recognisably the postboot Legionnaires as distinct from any other version too!

Neutrax and Lazon are fun to work with, powers-wise, although Titania and Silver Slasher seem more potentially interesting, personality-wise, and Mist Master just seems like a jerk with no redeeming features...
Supergirl's overconfidence, and unpreparedness was intriguing. Individual character arcs (such as Supergirl learning that she's not on vacation in the 31st century, and that things need to be taken seriously, and coming back for a much more competent second showing) are hard to write in a 20 page story (especially one featuring twenty protagonists and at least a half-dozen other main characters!), making fanfic like this a great place to explore such things!
I particularly like how Mon-El dealt with the same threat, using his keen intellect, and yet also taking quite a risk.
I'm looking forward to the next installment!

I'm really glad Supergirl's attitude is coming across! I am consciously trying to show that she and Superboy aren't just gender reversed versions of one another and that they really do approach their time in the 31st century in very different ways...
And one of the things in general I am really enjoying about writing these characters is thinking about the different ways they would approach the same problems...Mon-El, Ultra Boy, Superboy and Supergirl shouldn't be interchangeable just because they all have more or less the same powerset, so it's a fun challenge figuring out ways to show that.
re: Bouncing Boy, I touched on this in the War of the Fatal Fives thread, but I reckon Chuck deserves a lot more respect than he gets. His power is physically formidable, and I imagine teaching at the Academy would really have honed his tactics and ability to work as part of a team..

Bouncing's often portrayed as more of a tactical power. Like a billiard's player, it's all about setting up the angles, and having to be aware of everything around your target, since, once you get really moving, the course is fixed, so to speak. (Of course, Chuck also has a Flight Ring, and can adjust his bounces on the fly, allowing him to put some impossible 'English' on his bank shots...)
Speedball was used similarly over in the New Warriors, using his powers to disorient others and set them up for 'big gun' teammates like Nova or Namorita to take down.
It's a cool power, and, to me, gives Chuck a bit of a 'working man's hero' kind of feel.

But no luck with that link, though - even logged in to FB. I think you might have the permissions set incorrectly on it or something, because I only get a "content is currently unavailable" message.

Yeah, there are photo album permissions that let you share with either everybody, just your friends, or a category called "only me" that hides it from everybody but yourself. Your album probably just defaulted to that last category.
(Although why FB would have a category that lets one post pictures that nobody else can see makes no sense to me... like a lot of things on FB. )

Thanks, Dev. I loved Columbo growing up and when I think, "rumpled detective" there's just no other voice I can hear for that character.

I'm really looking forward to that conversation when my wife reads my story:
She - What are you doing writing romantic fiction about some cute asian girl?
Me - Oh, don't worry, hon. It's really just some fifty-something guy from Rhode Island.
She - That doesn't make it better!!!
