this is the impression i got from the designs .... i think this will be a great new take on the character !!!

they also refered to him as .... the young mage !!!

But how would Dawnstar get around the naming convention? Angel Lass?
the idea for Dawnstar only really featured in that teaser image, i don't think we'll be seeing Dawny, just yet ......

Young mage, eh? Well, as long as he's not too powerful. I'd prefer he be more on the alchemical side than the sorcerous side. But I guess this squashes any ideas about seeing the White Witch or Dragonmage. I guess I can live with that. Still, it all sounds interesting.

Barry mentioned that Element Lad could be drawn towards Princess Projectra because they will have more "regal" backgrounds !!!
and also Brainiac will not always get on with Dream Girl !!! because he'll be in his lab for 3 days working really hard on something and DG will come in and say, don't worry about it, you'll get it done [ i've "seen" it, etc .... ]
these type of comments will drive Brainy mad !!!
all sounds cool, doesn't it ???

It sounds like Waid and Kitson have really thought this out well and are really working hard to give each team member a distinct personality. That should really be fun. Love the sketches by the way. Will you have them framed?

Element Lad as a mage with a regal background drawn toward Princess Projectra?
Uh-oh... my cautious optimism is being transmuted into pessimistic dread. Can't say I like *any* of those possibilities...
... though this is better than insane pseudo-god with unexplained 'merge' powers or young hero abandoned by a callous team to drift in space for eons.
I'd *much* rather see White Witch and/or Dragonmage if there needs to be a mystic character. I find this much more off-putting than Star Boy's change in skin color.
Sigh... first Waid all but absented Jan from his own origin at the beginning of the reboot and now a 'reimagined' Jan that might as well *be* Doctor Fate.
Two steps back.
I liked the potential interplay for Dreamy and Brainy, though.

Fly Girl?
Where's Greybird? I hope he didn't pass out from shock...
As for Jan being regal, I think there's always been something regal about him. A kind of quiet confidence. Maybe it's because he was Legion leader when I started reading.

Have we seen InvisiKid's costume yet? His outfit in the preview struck me as "plaincloths"... he'd just jumped out his bedroom window, after all.
Dirk was blond in the preview, but we've heard of problems with the coloring so far, most notably Shadow Lass.
And anybody else notice how much the inker changed Garth's facial features? He looks worried or something on the printed page...

Have to say I'm a bit wary as well. More because of his origin than being anti-mystical mage. I know it'll sound like I'm just pining for the preboot, but Jan's origin story was one of the richest of the era. He's one of those last of his kind heroes and he had the misfortune to watch his race killed, which was worse than Superman's fate. Then his interplay with Roxxas provided some brilliant material especially for Giffen. I was very disappointed when I saw a lot of that wasted with the post-boot.
I know, no one wants stories re-told, but I felt there were plenty not told to begin with.
