Round 12 is over, and seven more characters are tossed into the rift, probably never to be seen again (for the rest of the game, anyway). This has been the hardest round yet for many voters.
Poor MONSTRESS gets deleted with 6 votes; but at least she made it farther this time than she ever did before.
5 voters decided to send LIFE LASS back to Lallor; both Kinetix and Quislet can do what she can anyway. DRAGONMAGE was junked because, hey, everyone knows Ultra Boy should be the only Legionnaire associated with green dragons. CRYSTAL KID should curse the fact that his entire Legion tenure lay in the 5 Year Gap; he didn't even make it into the Academy this time around. And STONE BOY seems to be the eternal substitute.
4 characters tied with 4 votes, and this has been the most important tie broken by previous round votes so far. But those votes declared that COMPUTO and GEAR had both better pack and move away to Warworld or something. (Now that's a love team I'm surprised I haven't thought of before )
And so we have the Final 50 characters, all of who have a pretty good chance of making it into the Legion:
Andromeda Apparition/Phantom Girl Bouncing Boy Brainiac 5 Chameleon (Boy) Chemical King Chlorophyll Kid Color Kid Cosmic Boy Dawnstar Dreamer/Dream Girl Element Lad Ferro (Lad) Fire Lad Gas Girl Gates Infectious Lass Insect Queen II (Lonna) Invisible Kid Invisible Kid II Karate Kid Kid Quantum II Kinetix Kono Lamprey Leviathan/Colossal Boy Live Wire/Lightning Lad Magnetic Kid (Pol Krinn) Matter-Eater Lad M'Onel/Mon-el/Valor Nemesis Kid Night Girl Nightwind Polar Boy Princess Projectra/Sensor Girl Quislet Saturn Girl Shrinking Violet Spark/Light(ning) Lass Spider Girl Star Boy Sun Boy Supergirl (Kara) Timber Wolf Triad/Triplicate Girl/Duo Damsel Ultra Boy Umbra/Shadow Lass White Witch Wildfire XS
This is a very interesting list. Some observations I've made:
Only 40 of the characters are "real" Legionnaires; that is, Legionnaires whose memberships have been depicted in the actual comic book for a somewhat significant period of time. Of the remaining ten, 5 are 5 Year Gappers (4 of those being Subs), 1 is a Sub, 1 is a Heroine of Lallor, 1 is an Amazer, 1 is an Academy student and 1 is a villain/traitor.
More equal opportunity in the Legion: 23 of them are female, 5 are from racial minorities and 10 are distinctively alien in appearance.
Unsurprisingly, 35 of them had their origins in the Adventure Era; 8 had their origins during and around the Levitz issues, 5 are postboot characters and 2 were created during TMK.
Just some boring observations
Well, be prepared for qite a few bring back rounds involving these top 50 characters. For now, please vote for 4 to go, and I'll be back on August 30. Thank you all very much for playing!
