...well, feel that brisk winter air. Perhaps it isn't the best time to go on a soul-searching journey through the woods, over the hills and into the distant, thus-far undiscovered lands of Legion World; but then again, perhaps there is no better time.
The MMB is changing and the changes have thus far been subtle. But soon, they may grow more...severe?

So, Mr. Cobalt...is this vision quest or whatever intended to help you discover your inner gayness or something?

Uh...not really Clive. I hope that wasn't something you planned on.
I've caused too much destruction on Legion World lately and thought it best to get away. And also to get some better pespetctive on current happenings on Legion World. Care to provide some? You've expressed several...interesting points of view in the past.
Also, this gives us a good oppurtunity to explore these hills nearby the city. They've been nigh impenetrable in the past but that job was largely left up to rank and file Security Officers.

Is it the soul that needs searching Cobes? Or simply our parts in the story? My story begins far in the past you know, farther than you probably suspect.
(montage page) When I was little I remember being a tool of powerful people, I remember being a star, merchandised, published but I had no control. As a young adult I used those small powers to become the tool user but my career was short and I was soon canceled. I was left in limbo but for the occasional college journalism paper or nastalgia revival.
I returned in strength in the LMB as a member of a super hero group then a group leader and a brief flirtation with super villainy.
Now though my powers have developed far beyond their original scope. Sometimes I fear they're going to destroy me, the spin is too powerful. I've crossed time and space, I've even traveled across universes under my own power to meet Superboy.
I'm afraid my past is far away and lost to me. I don't know if I even have a future.

Ah, nothing like explorin' the frontier. Even if it is some wacky alien world hundreds of years in the future.
'Course, being the expert tracker I am, I can tell others have been down this path before. And may be watching us from over those yonder hills. Best keep my dagger ready just in case.
I wonder if that Raging Bull fella has anymore of that chewing tobacco?

"interesting points of view"?!?! Whatever are you referring to, Mr. Cobalt?

Tomahawk, the people who have been down this path were here only an hour and thirteen minutes ago. I'm sure they haven't gone far.

I have the distinct feeling I'm being watched... Though I haven't seen anyone else there's still an uneasiness, a feeling that Big Brother is nearby.
whirrrrrrrrrrrrr What was that?!? It felt like something went right past my head! The lights of the city still seem far away no matter how fast my pace becomes. My breathing is becoming labored, in part due to my sense of being watched, and in part due to the increasing grade of the hills. It'll be dark soon. Perhaps this wasn't such a good idea after all...

Hm? It appears our comrades, who were right behind us, have drifter farther off. Could it be that the hills want us to be lost? Is it some allegory for Legion fandom? Or is it just really confusing hills? Either way, I like the girls from The Hills.
Clive, what I meant is that you have a unique point of view. First you were a robot and now a human being; you also have the POV of someone 'new' to the LMB and Legion World, yet have just experienced a term as deputy leader so you've got some experience. And the one person you were closest to, Lard Lad, is now the person you hate the most. I'm curious about some of your thoughts on various other people, situations and trends on Legion World.

Hello good citizen! I'm the legendary poster Cobalt Kid and this is my merry band of friends! We're exploring these hills while I make undergo a journey of deep self-analysis after a recent brouhaha with an old friend now turned deadly enemy.
Er, how you end up in these hills? And do I know you from somewhere?

Here ya go. These days, I prefer myself a good pipe smoke. Mind ya, all this tobacco's carcinogen-free... a benefit of coming from the 31st century, where everything's bigger and better.
Do y'all see that red flicker, in the distance yonder? Looks like someone else has struck camp up ahead... I'll go on ahead by myself to check it out, just in case they're hostile.

Funny, my time spent as a robot is becoming more and more of a distant memory...as if it were all a dream.
But in any case I have a mish-mash of memories passed down to me from that time and from the patchwork donors of my soul. And immediately, upon my birth, I noticed how much darker the LMB and Legion World have gotten in recent times compared to their early days.
Oh, it's not just the conflict--there've always been threats to deal with that are potentially universe-threatening--it's deeper than that. The innocence seems gone. And that is what is at the core of my plea for morality...a burning desire to recapture the innocence of the LMB and of Legion World.
It's not that the LMB were ever paragons of virtue or anything, but there was always such joy in their undertakings, whatever they may have been. Now, it just seems all empty and shallow.
And, honestly, the harder and deeper I look into the history of it all, I can't help but think it all ties in to my father and all the baggage he's brought with him since his excursion into the Dark Oval.
In a way it's not so much about the man who rose from the dead being an imposter--it's about the man who returned from the Dark Oval being an imposter! Can you honestly say that the man who murdered Hrykos and Mordra (yes, I know he did it) is the same man who co-founded the LMB, was its first leader and was a principal architect in making it great? Can you?
Has he brought anything but pain back with him since he returned? Is he not at least partially responsible for every conflict that has happened since?
This chaos-bringer cannot possibly be Lard Lad! I just can't reconcile the two!
What do you think, Mister Cobalt? You know him better than anyone! Do you honestly feel this is the same man who had been one of your closest friends?
