That link to Gail's story is an interesting idea, Far.
I was thinking of something a little less reasonable - like Invisible Kid is really a Dominator who had plastic surgery. His parents are Dominator sleeper agents and this is what he's really rebelling against....

Are we still looking a human-seeded worlds? Or are we supposing that the changes over the last 1000 years are so vast that basic functions have changed (as opposed to just the addition of powers or traits like twinning)?

Great, great interview, possibly the best one yet on the new Legion series.
After this, I'm more optimistic than ever. For anyone who wanted to hear Waid being plain honest about LSH continuity and where he's taking the series, check it out.

And does this seem to contradict Waid saying before that HE went to THEM to anyone else?
So what you're basically telling us Reboot is that you'll never read another new Legion story again!
Because if this relaunch is successful, then that's you left behind forever and if its not, then that's the Legion dead (in all likelihood).
Either way, your days with the Legion are over it seems.
P.S. I don't know how you can call something you haven't even seen yet (and refuse to) "half a loaf" especially when all the wonderful things we've been hearing about it (IMO), and that Barry has shown us, make it seem in my mind much closer to being a "sumptuous three course meal". And you know what, since everything DnA did after Lost was nothing more than dogfood anyway I'd take that "half a loaf" any day.

You haven't read many of my posts, have you? I've said explicitly umpteen times that I don't expect to ever buy a new LSH comic again. Go on & check. I'll wait.

Reboot, last thing I heard was that Waid was offered Legion rather than sought it out. And with a name like yours it's hard to believe you can't get behind reboots.
To some degree, I get what you're saying, but I really haven't seen "my" Legion for over a decade now. To me, this new version looks more promising that what we had over the past decade.

I'm glad to hear that the focus will not be on the villain-of-the-month. To me, that was boring. I'm looking forward to Waid focusing on the heroes, as he stated. What a concept - a comic book where the main characters aren't in life-threatening danger every issue. Maybe someone has finally realized that there's more to a story than the fight.

I'm actually heartened by the comparison to the Schwartz-era Silver Are reimagining. Truly, these are NOT going to be our father's LSH, and rightly so. Also, I think the very LAST thing Waid would do is resurrect the snake. He's not THAT suicidal!
And SoM, I'm starting to think that you're just enjoying all the attention you're getting by being the ultimate Anti-Legion force on Legion World. How very diva of you.

Heh
I'm being 100% honest on my feelings about this, although, staying on the full-honesty tack, I've been more vocal because many disagree with me.

The problem with Universo is that no one has come up with more than one plot for him -- he controls the world/universe EXCEPT for SOME Legionnaires, who have to use their wits to defeat him.
It's a fun story, but it's been done 3 times now.
I'm surprised he didn't say Mordru or Time Trapper, too.

I'm not fond of the Mordru story lines, but I do think Time Trapper has a lot of mileage left in him. I don't think his story have ever been satisfactorily explored.

... alarm bells! Who's he talking about?
Hmmmm, dare I say the dreaded "P" word and risk getting banned??.... no, I think not
