Just to keep track of them as Head of Security (and for writing tag-team threads), what exactly is your power? Some people have real powers (i.e. Super-speed), some a bit more goofy (i.e. pulling things out of people's asses).
Cobalt Kid's power is magnetism, and all the various facets that come with it (including flying, creating forcefields, using it to enhance strenght, moving faster, etc.).
Space Tart had the power to pull objects out of people's asses.
So what are the rest of your powers? I can't remember them all anymore...
Lash, do you still have reality warping powers?

I'm not sure if Lucien Lad has gathered any new powers over the last couple of years (he probably has, but what the hey) but his powers come from a link with the Glam Force (minda like the speed force only *much* more chic) which means he's terribly glam and fabulous all the time. OK so it's a vague power at the best of times but it did mean that he was able to break free from the hold of Beigeseid.
Plus he has nostalgia powers as well which means he can warp reality and time. I think that power has always been a little uncontrolled but it's been focussed through other people in the past and I seem to remember some wholesale restructuring of the LMBP headquarters during the summer once when he wanted it to be Christmas. Although possibly that was when he was still the Queen of Diamonds and a member of the LLB. I forget. Posted by STU on :

Princess Crujectra has powerful illusion abilities that affect all five senses. She also has extremely limited precognitive powers (sort of like a "Spider Sense", really). Her powers are rounded out by limited tactile telekinesis, which she primarily uses to augment her strength and durability.
Crusader has strong telepathic and telekinetic abilities.
Foxy Roxy had the ability to shape shift from human form to a humanoid fox form and finally to full fox form.
Maxx (Crusader's boyfriend) is a sorcerer.

Vee has the power to vary the size of anything, be it himself (shrinking or growing) or only parts of himself (use your imagination) or anything else (i.e someone's feet, a chair, etc.
Doesn't sound like much but he could shrink someone's lungs so they couldn't get enough air in their system and pass out; he has widened a crack in a wall and turned into into a spare bedroom at the Villa; he could grow dust motes into insurmontable obstacles.
His power is limited only by his creativity, but it does take a toll and can leave him exhausted if he tries to do too much in a short period of time.

Basically, Outdoor Miner can negate distance. If he's been to the place he wants to get to, he can just appear there. Or reach out and pull something off a shelf that's actually light years away from where he is. He can do this for other people as well, but it's painful, and he tends not to do it much. At this point, he's still learning about what he can do.
He can also drink tremendous amounts of alcohol without adverse effect.

Fat Cramer has nine lives, one of which has been used. She is a deceptively gentle-appearing assassin: she stalks, catches, tortures and kills.

I have a marked preference, however, for sitting at the bar in LMBP HQ and making either cynical or pompous asides about the action taking place elsewhere, preferably with a Screwdriver (my feathers need that Vitamin C) or single-malt Scotch in my hand.
LardLad called my demeanor "the power of the Pompous Ass," though in light of Lardy's own nether regions and their dimensions, he really shouldn't talk!

SharkLad is the perfect killing machine. At seven feet tall, SharkLad is somewhat skeletal in appearance, with an oversized head and mouth. He has a large dorsal fin and eagle-like talons for hands and feet. He can breathe and swim great distances underwater and his body can withstand great pressures. SharkLad’s is a case where his bite is worse than his bark. Along with being able to eat through just about anything or anyone, his “shark bite” is a flurry of projectile teeth, which he fires with remarkable precision. Despite his ferocious appearance and “killer smile,” SharkLad is a loyal teammate and he would never intentionally hurt a fellow LMBer. Posted by Arachne on :

The Secret Origin of Faraway Lad
One day meek mild mannered civil servant Darden Coulthard was walking his two dogs on the beach when his attention was caught by a strange glowing piece of wood. Walking over to it DC dug it out of the sand. It was about 1 foot long, flat with a slight bend in the middle. All along one side the stick was covered in primitive and possibly magical drawings. With the dogs going mad around his feet DC took the only sensible option, with a dismissive flick of the wrist he launched the stick into the air. "There you go girls fetch" he shouted. Imagine his surprise when the stick started to turn in mid air. It turned fully 180 degrees and started to head straight back towards Darden until, with a soft plop, it landed in the sand just behind him. "Hey what do you think of that girls, he said it's a go away come back again stick". For many hours the easily amused man and his dogs played with the "hadawaycomebacker" then DC decided it was time to go home. Not wanting to take the dog drool covered stick home with him he turned and with an almighty throw he launched the stick into the sky. Up, up and up it flew, passing, as luck would have it, through the tail of a small shooting star. Slowly the stick turned and headed back to Earth. Faster and faster it fell back towards the ground and then it bounced off the head of the luckless hero and landed upright behind him. "Ouch" he said rubbing his head and turning to pick up the stick. There was a sudden flash and facing Darden for a fraction of a second was.........his exact double. The vision vanished and then Darden heard “Mine I believe” from a cold heartless voice from immediately behind him. He spun around to see…nothing. "With the magical powers from this stick” said the voice from behind Darden again. Spinning around even faster this time Darden saw again absolutely nothing, “I” continued the voice from behind Darden, “Behind you boy, will rule the world.” "Yelp” and “gulp” went our hero and suddenly found himself and his dogs far far away from the beach. Later sat in his small flat DC ruminated upon this strange turn of events. Then he stood up and pulled the flush. Later that week further strange events occurred which confirmed that his obscure chance contact with a shooting star he had developed Faraway Powers. It was at the office when everyone was discussion the latest scandal. "Why didn’t I know about that" said DC "was I faraway when it was discussed?" At night when out drinking with his friends he found himself sat alone in the corner whilst they were all on the dance floor. “why am I not up there” he would muse "it seems like I seem to be finding my self faraway from things all the time Mmmmmm, that must be it I’ll bet that stick had special powers and has given me super powers, I can never be in the right place at the right time, I'm always too faraway to hear what's happening, I must use these powers for world peace, I must join the Legion of Message Board Posters. The rest is, or will be history
Editors Note. Since that time Faraway Lad has joined the LMBP and even for a brief time served as leader. He has constantly worked to strengthen his strange power and to improve his control over it. He is now capable of sending himself or any attacking projectiles faraway in times of danger. He has developed enough control to be able to teleport his team mates to a specified location within approximately 1,000 yards. Attempts to move further than that invariably lead to random teleports over which he has no apparent control. In time of stress (or to help move a plot line along) he has been known to loose control and teleport team mates to random and strange locations. In one unfortunate experiment, instead of transporting Lard Lad to the Kitchen in Hargas house of ribs in downtown Metropolis, Lardy ended up naked and 40 light-years away in a monk’s cell on the ascetic’s planet of Pekeoutin where the only food was a thin gruel and fresh vegetables and there were no women. It took him 6 months to work his way back to LMBP headquarters. A period about which he still remains tight lipped to this day. Faraway Lad can only send things faraway, he can not bring them back. Therefore unless he is with them it is a one way trip. A recent development of his powers has been the ability to send the oxygen in the air faraway before it can be extracted by the lungs, or to send the electrical impulses from the brain faraway before they can reach the muscles of the body. Both of these attributes can be useful in subduing enemies but are rarely used due to the distress they can cause. (Both to the victims and those who see the effects)

Aside from turning invisible, I also have the potential to control light in all its forms. I can fire blasts of light, change the colors of objects, and turn myself into pure light and move at light speed that way. y passing through a prism in that form, I can split into seven different beings; but I can only stay separated for an hour before my "selves" begin to fade. And, of course, I can fly.
Why do I have the feeling I've made msyelf too powerful? Of course, I still don't have total control over my powers. For humorous purposes, I become a bumbling idiot when I am visible. This is more due to extreme shyness and an inferiority complex then due to any actual side effects of my powers.

Doctor One is 2 m tall, gray and bald (kinda like Blok, actually, but dressed in a white lab coat). He looks VERY intimidating , but is utterly useless in combat. His agility leaves much to be desired, too.
His main power is protistological in nature: he knows everything there is to know about unicellular organisms. His usefulness to the LMBP community was proven during the recent Cobie-as-an-amoeba incident.
He also has a strange fascination with the number one. He is working hard to expand his numerological horizons.

Numf-El a.k.a. K’Numf, Numfy, The Numfster
Powers –
Too many to mention, and most of them haven’t been disclosed / discovered yet. Has recently found out that he has been genetically created (cloned / spliced) from a large number of heroes and villains from history, most of whom are as yet unknown to him. Those known are :- Darth Vader (he gets a croaky voice in a smoky atmosphere). Captain James Tiberius Kirk (has a strange desire to wear a girdle at times). One of the Banana Bunch / Splits, although not confirmed which one. But probably not the one with the big trunk………. Genghis Khan (likes to ride with barbarian whores…….). Jesse James (Harbinger reckons he’s a big jessie anyway). Mon-El Alexander The Great (great at undoing knots) Adolf Hitler
Plus genes from Supergirl (via Golden Girl) and Darkseid (via Darth Vader).
And judging my his moustache, Freddy Mercury.
Pretty decent at sarcasm and swearing – likes a beer or two.
Poll-dancing powers yet to be confirmed.
Occassionally other clones from the batch turn up to steal his girlfriends and have to be dealt with.

"I" have a 10th level intelligence, which can be boosted to as much as 14th level by feeding on the madness of others - but if I overdo that, I risk going mad myself. Hence, given the right materials, I can build a gadget for almost any situation
I can also physically divide people into two - one of which will be sane, one insane, but I make a point of avoiding using that (and have only ever done it once, not least because it's permanent). And if one of the splits is killed, the other will also die.

LMBP powers of Gigglebot Girl. Posted with her full approval and input.
Gigglebot girl is from Earth and is about 5 foot 8, with shoulder length brown hair and a very infectious laugh. She has a happy broad smile and is constantly laughing and singing to herself (not very tunefully). She loves life and she loves having a large group of friends around.
Her power is the ability to render people incapable of moving or fighting or anything through laughter. Sort of like Joker gas, only non fatal. However, the problem with this power is that it is not instantaneous. It can take up to one full minute to take effect depending on how natural grumpy and miserable the other person is. Therefore in order to enhance her combat skills she has taken to using various enhanced lollypops. (think of the Green Arrows gadget arrows or Green Lanterns fondness for forming giant boxing gloves etc. ) she keeps her store of lollypops in two utility belts wrapped around her thighs. However, just to confuse things she does like to suck on real lollypops and will often take one out and play with it in her mouth after defeating the bad guy.
Her costume is mainly blue with red highlights.
An origin story, including how she met Faraway Lad and joined the LMBP is in the works and once I get the next, very busy week or so at work out of the way, I should be able to get the one vision up. In the mean time as long as you don’t go too far away from the above GG says feel free to use her in any story.
Posted by Reboot on :
Recently, I came across Glitch - a sentient, navy blue, cuboidial "keytool," and, deciding I was worthy to wield it, it affixed itself to my left gauntlet, transforming me somewhat in the process. My seldom-used power to permanently split people in two is gone. However, a black-and-white symbol appeared on my chest, and projects an image of itself over whatever clothing I wear - although I can vary it's size and, to a more limited extent, shape. By touching it, I can temporarily "Reboot" myself into alternate forms, and, by "carrying" the image, I can do the same to others - whether they like it or not!
In addition, Glitch itself is a powerful and versitile tool, able to act as a communicator, reshape (and grow/shrink) itself at my command to mimic many forms and project energy beams (in addition to many other functions). It's only real limitation is it's inability to multitask.

Not only am I still a precog, but now I can 'timeslip' my body into a faster space...giving me super-speed like powers! Time around me can go for minutes and only a split second would pass in real-time.
Should these powers fail, I can still fall back on my race's natural abilities to trip over things, state the obvious, and confuse multiple people at the same time.

I'm usually a lurker/sometime poster in the Dr. Gym'll's and Anywhere Machine forums, but I've adopted the moniker of a long-time LMB character, because I was too lazy to create my own name. So a few posters have explained to me that I have the powers of the Spectre, the body of Donna Troy and the personality of a ressurected LMB member named Foodmaker Kid. All the combining of personalities however, have led to a new personality, namely mine!

Despite the 'outfit,' it's Miss T here! I started out as a powerful but routine Naltorian seeress. However, my indomitable willpower was temporarily and heinously subverted by a strange chip in my head.
This chip ordered me to submit myself to director of security, Cobalt Kid. After he deposited his demonic seed within me I found that it mutated my powers greatly.
I can still steal glimpses from the future but it's harder to determine which timeline I'm seeing.
I can now create 'aspects' of myself - extratemporal versions of my personality that, more often than not, look like my cohorts in the Legion. I can also possess these aspects and overlay my complete personality upon them, speaking through them, as it were. I'm doing so through Somber Lass now. She is a Talokian from hypertimeline-4 that shares my morose sense of humor and appreciation of the more gothic themes of life.

Despite all the retcons and reboots and such, Loser Lad's powers have not changed. So, instead of writing them up again, here is what I posted in the original LMB Secret Origins and Powers thread.
quote: Loser Lad harnesses the residual Loser Energy in his system to create self doubt, lack of motivation, and bad luck in others. The Loser Power can be focused on a single opponent, causing extreme uncoordination, lack of confidence, absent mindedness and misfortune. It can be spread to affect many opponents, causing general confusion. The full extent of this power is yet unknown. Harnessing the Loser Power requires great concentration. When Loser Lad is distracted, he has been known to "leak" Loser radiation, affecting his allies and teammates, generally resulting in drunken mayhem.
In addition to the above detailed power, I have been in training under the High Priestess Viviane as a Druid's Apprentice, and as such have added some minor magical abilities to my repertoire. So far I'm up to Chapter Four in my Tome of Ancient Magicks. Soon I should be able to conjure small rodents and saw otherwise innocent bystanders in half!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Ever since our recent adventure with the SMB of Earth-4, I've gone from being an essentially powerless member of the SMB (my place being earned more by my tendency to be at the crux of monumental events rather than any actual power), to being able to summon one of the mythical Luck Lords every time I utters the word "Jeepers!".
I also have a certain degree of immunity to reboots, retcons, crises, and other monumental reality-altering events. The exact origin of this has never been revealed.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Anyone who read "Journies and Destinies" will know that I've recently gained healing powers and 'spiritual awareness' powers. The latter is a bit vague, but both are aspects of being able to tap into the 'energies of life' (while Elagabolus, my young friend and possible destroyer of the LMB taps into the 'energies of death and destruction'). So now I can easily heal (like I did for Lash after his fight with Hrun), and am more aware spiritually (like knowing that the EDE of Earth-4 was not our EDE).
And just for a point of continuity--Cobalt Kid never put a chip in anyone's head. He might be a cad with the ladies, but he's a good guy . That was a plot by the Royal Inquisitor, although Reboot refuses to believe it. I'll be sure to add that in when I update the continuity.

-ahem- ...a long long time ago in a comic book far away,
The Adventure era vesion of the Yellow Kid had the power to motivate ordinarily good people to do acts evil. You know, swiping spare change they find laying on the table, calling long distance from work, pay-per-view piracy, taking an extra newspaper out of the box, taking two when the sign says "take one"...all those little things that make life a little more fun.
Alas, too many capes and masks with nothing to do finally tracked me down. In the heat and raw unbridled power of the moment the Primary Color Gang was born. Together we 'came of age' in the ensuing royal rumble with the silver age Doom Patrol. (nobody reads that, I'm safe using it in my origin right?) We ran from those mean old superheroes during a story arc called "Colors On the Run" (man, that Robot guy and the black glowing guy thingy really scared the hell out of me)and were miraculously retconned from just ordinary guys in funny clothes into genuine Super-Villians with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men!

My power is a rare 12th level SuperEgo. I was the first 6th level intelligence Coluan born in 12 generations. My parents tried to raise my intelligence using illegal secret experiments and a stolen copy of Brainiac 5's DNA, but instead of making me smarter they just gave me the equally legendary Dox ego. To date, only Eishuu has ever really seen my SuperEgo at full power. Dox isn't even my real last name, it's a name I took on as a reaction to sharing DNA with Querl Dox.
Posted by Somber Lass on :
Interesting power, Mearl. More people need to reveal their super-abilities!
Posted by Loser Lad on :
Addendum:
Recently the Sorceress Morgause endowed Loser Lad with the powers of a demon she had summoned as a part of her plot to destroy the High Priestess Viviane. When Morgause killed Viviane, Loser Lad attacked her, stabbing her with the same dagger with which she had slain Viviane. Morgause withdrew the power she had given Loser Lad, using the demon's life-force to heal herself.
While he no longer has the full power of the demon that he briefly possessed (and never fully explored), Loser Lad was left with a residual teleportation power in addition to his pre-existing negative energy manipulation powers. By focusing his energy he can teleport himself across short distances, disappearing in a flash of purple light. The full extent of his newfound ability is unknown.

I'm sure Terry and Sara did some planning but I wasn't involved in any of it. I kind of imposed myself on Viv in the Avalon thread and she worked me in to her story. Later when the war between Viv and Morgause started Sara (Morgause) asked me to jump in, so I did. I've just been trying to play it by ear and not screw anything up too bad. I had a vague idea of what was going to happen but nothing specific.
I think Viv did a great job setting it all up, and it's been fun to see it all unfold. I think as of this weekend my part in it has kind of wound down a bit, but at least it gave me an opportunity to grab a new power for Loser Lad (and the chance to stab Morgause with her own dagger ). And who knows what will happen from there!

Doesn't sound like much but he could shrink someone's lungs so they couldn't get enough air in their system and pass out; he has widened a crack in a wall and turned it into a spare bedroom at the Villa; he could grow dust motes into insurmontable obstacles.
His power is limited only by his creativity, but it does take a toll and can leave him exhausted if he tries to do too much in a short period of time.
Recently, Vee has been honing the use of his growshrink powers through strenuous practice. By doing so he has discovered that he is able to project beams or "blasts" of molecules that grow as they travel. By regulating their growth in transit, he now has a powerful blasting power with quite a kick when they reach their target (remember dodge ball?)
He has also discovered that he can sometimes grow and shrink seconds!!!! Which means that he has limited time control and speed up/slow down abilities (i.e. he can make a second as big as an hour, for example, giving teammates plenty of time to accomplish what is needed to defeat adversaries.)
Hie growshrink powers seem to affect just about anything, limited only by his imagination, so one has to assume that as time passes he will discover additional uses for this awesome power.

The Secret Origin of Haggard Lad!
Growing up as the only messy person on Pinesolia, the “Clean Planet,” is a difficult life (Pinesolia supplies high-tech cleaning technologies to the UP and even Legion World). Trepp Aron was shunned by everyone around him, including his parents. He couldn’t help who he was and didn’t think he needed to be like everyone else.
When he turned 15, a strange cult-like group kidnapped Trepp. Apparently, they had been waiting for “a fated one” and he fit the description of being extremely messy. This cult had used magic to seal away all of Pinesolia’s dirtiness thousands of years ago. This “haggard” gem has been waiting for the fated messy teenager to appear and plans to make Trepp the champion of the planet. The gem gives Trepp three special powers:
1.) He has no fear at all. 2.) The ability to create sparks when he snaps his fingers (which Trepp can use to light firecrackers for battles and fun). 3.) A bizarre writing ability that makes him switch between print and cursive while writing (happens randomly in mid-sentence or even mid-word) ... the practical applications of this power have yet to be discovered.
For the first few weeks Haggard Lad used his No Fear power for crazy stunts he would do himself and have them filmed by his buddy “Wipes,” a hover-camera bot. He also custom built an old hover board for those stunts. Then one day, an evil telepath named Fearallo can from another dimension and began using his powers to create fear in Pinsolia’s citizens. Haggard Lad, being unaffected by the waves of fear sweeping the planet, used his abilities and hover board to defeat Fearallo. This drew the attention of the Legion and he was offered membership (which was great for Pinesolia because, even though he saved the planet, they still didn’t like him).
Haggard Lad’s first month as a Legionnaire had several hurdles to overcome. He continually misplaced his flight ring (he prefered his hover board anyway) and he was caught napping during several missions. And during his off hours, he enjoys hover boarding through Legion World’s hallways... much to Cobalt Kid’s dismay.

Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
And where the heck is Future?
(Eyrk- you and me might have to just keep on saying that every two or three weeks )
Posted by Tamper Lad on :
Okay here's my true origin.
My powers involve communicating in confusing cliches that obscure meaning. Yet the person who is listening finds this reassuring and believes what I say to be credible.
These powers were given to me on when I was the sole survivor on a biological science expedition to the planet Skuleofbizness where there is no intelligent life. There I was trained by Dr. Stra'ta'gee and his assistant Mar katting.
Now using the power of value-creation and SWOT analysis I will demonstrate that super premium vodka is indeed worth the money.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Glad to have you on board, Tamper Lad! I'm sure your powers will come in handy next time an arch-villain like Middlefinger or Dip-Thong strikes!
Just to update my powers:
Cosmic Importance-- A tendency to wind up in the middle of "big events" by seeming accident Super-Disguise-- Though rarely used, it was the hallmark of my career as "Boy of 1000 Faces" "Jeepers!"-- The ability to summon one of the fabled Luck Lords to do my bidding whenever I say the magic word
And, of course, there's the fact that I command the Hippie Army of Greg Evigan Island and the mighty Legion of Calamity Pets, including Jinx (black cat, possibly the most powerful single individual on Legion World if she could be bothered), Calamity Monkey (with super-feces throwing abilities), and Buzz (a giant trained bee).
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
We cannot forget Buzz's climatic save during the Red Bee saga either!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
And just to reiterate my powers (of course, I have six years real life time character development, so they are starting to amass):
- Magnetism, based solely on my willpower. After six years training, I can do all the things magnetism can theorectically do, like Cosmic Boy in v.3 #297 and Magneto in the Marvel U. These include: force shield, flight, pulling objects magnetically, magnetically enhanced strength, etc.
- Healing powers and 'spiritual sense' which stem from the boy Elagabolus in "Price of Security". The 'spiritual sense' is still a bit of a mystery, but it can sense things mystical in nature.
- Telepathic connection to Princess Crujectra (aka Spellbinder).
- I'm also Chief of Security on Legion World, and am privy to a wealth of information that many others may not be. With recent "Chip in Head" technology, I have direct access at all times of Legion World communications and technology activities. I also have a plethora of secret security/espionage devices that help me out from time to time in respect to this role.
- My other great role on Legion World is one of the three Triumvirs, and thus one of the three LMBers that controls one-third of all the armies of Legion World. Said armies have direct loyalty to the Triumvir they serve, although they are forbidden from entering Legion World out of ancient tradition. Faraway Lad is my primus pilus (second in command), and Eryk Davis Ester and Greybird are the other Triumvirs.

Secondary (weaker):
Limited illusion casting
Limited ForeSight (precognitive powers) (exact limitations unknown, but estimated to be less than one day in the future and not very reliable)
Limited fire-starting abilities (equal to a single torch)
And, although not really a power per se, the Jectra Twins share a psionic rapport with Cobalt Kid and Loser Lad
Posted by dedman on :
Dedman was started of with "the voice of the dead" which is very similiar to Jesse's power in Preacher
Dedman's main power is self-resurrection. No matter how horridly his body is mangled and destroyed, dedman's body will reform and he will live again. This power seems to be somehow tied in with the poltergeist area. This has led the LMB to adopt an odd strategy when facing villians...ie - send in Dedman and while he is busy being destroyed, the LMBP pounce upon the distraced villian.
The Poltergeist Area - noone knows where or what this place really is, but dedman knows all this strange dimension's secrets....or so he says. While in this place dedman exhibits godlike abilities that he does not have in reality. He has also demonstrated the ability to teleport? into and out of this zone at will; as well as bring others with him. Apparently you can also "look out" of the area into reality using a device Dedman calls a "ghost viewer"

Since I've had complaints that my powers are too nebulous (I'm looking at you, Cru ), here's what I've got (one of these days, I'll write a OneVision of my LMBP history, but not just yet...)
10th level intelligence, with a particular aptitude for building gadgets, foremost of which is my personal teleporter and my forcefield belt.
I can Reboot myself or others into any form, including invisibility and/or intangibility, using the big hologram on my chest (I can also "loan" it to others for a single use)
I'm an energy sponge, able to absorb, store and redirect almost any amount of energy thrown at me (although absorbing and redirecting huge amounts tires me out, as when I zapped all the bees with energy Cobalt, DB & co were throwing at me at the end of the Red Bee Saga). Most of my gadgets are powered by my own stored energy.
Plus I've got Glitch, the sentient keytool who symbiotically joined with me some time ago, and who can either reshape itself into something for me to use directly, or who can monitor/maintain gadgets I don't have time to work personally while I'm doing something else.

The High Priestess Viviane has decided to step down from active duty and return to her life on Avalon.
Avalon is ruled by Lord Oberon and his wife, Queen Titania. The people of Avalon are known by a few names, the faire people, Fay, most commonly are the Children of Oberon or the Third Race.
These people possess great magical powers and energy manipulation skills that allow them to cast spells and perform feats unthinkable to others. They are immortal, the only restrictions placed upon them are the ones Oberon has determined fit for his people, known as the Law of Oberon.
Luna is a powerful and immortal woman, she has been alive for millennias, her people are the cause of myth and legend (so Luna would actually be the old Roman Goddess). Luna has two sisters, Phoebe and Selene, the three of them are known as the Weird sisters, each powerful, but together the are considered to be the third or fourth most powerful beings in Oberon's race.
The three each represent something unique: Raven haired Selene representents fury Silver haired Luna representents fate Blond haired Phoebe representents grace
(i.e. the three are/were the Furies, the Fates, the Graces, the witches from Macbeth and the word "weird" stems from the word "wyrd" which means fate)

I have a ring made out of purple a.k.a. lavender kryptonite, which gives me strange temporary powers. I keep it in a box made of teal K which cancels out it's rays. I keep it handy in case of emergency. The ring was carved by me out of a sample recovered from a Security Office investigation site. My most recent usage resulted in Dangerously Hot Coffee Vision.
Also, my true inborn power was revealed, I can project mental forcefields much like onetime Legion Secret Weapon #1 Kid Psycho. Unlike Kid Psycho, using my power makes me younger instead of shortening my life. I don't use the power unless at great need as I keep falling short of retirement age. Thanks to the Red Bee, I had to put my fishing boat in long-term storage.

As a member of a race that evolved from penguins, Rockhopper Lad can hold his breath for up to an hour and has heightened senses.
He has the magic-based ice powers of the House of Rockhopper, including creating ice and snow , freezing objects, placing living organisms into a cryogenic state and some control of weather.
[edit] After the events of "Omnia", Rockhopper Lad gained super-breath powers.

Excellent idea, Luna. I'll see what I can do, although go ahead if you want to start a list... Posted by Hrun the Barbarian on :
Hrun is a mighty barbarian warrior. In addition to the skills gained during a lifetime fighting evil men, trolls and goblins on the Northern Frontier, Hrun has, in a tale yet to be told, obtained near invunerability to most weapons and energy blasts. He is particualry immune to magic and likes nothing better than walking past all wards and enchantments to hit the, by now surprised, magic weilder on the chin.
Hruns main weapons are a sword and axe which he has an almost supernatureal control over.
He also has a small tiger skin pouch, which is seemingly limitless in what can be carried.

IB can absorb and control light (think Doctor Light and the Ray). He can use it to fly, and he can release light in blinding bursts or can focus it into a destructive laser. With effort, he can even form shields and shape the light into rudimentary objects, much like a Green Lantern's ring can, but not nearly so detailed. He can also bend light around stuff, making them invisible, and can change an object's colors. He has been trying to alter the light reaching a person's eyes, thereby creating visual illusions, but hasn't been very successful.
By turning his body into light, IB can reach light speeds, and by focusing himself through a prism he can split into seven IBs (each a different color of the rainbow) with all the powers of the original, although each of the seven is weaker than the whole. He can only keep this up for as much as a day at most before he is forced to recombine, and the more power he uses, the sooner he'll have to. He'll need to rest for as much as a couple of days before he can do it again.
Each of the seven has a part of the personality of the "real" IB:
Red is a hothead whose rage is really a mask for his insecurity and hurt.
Orange is an energetic, outgoing, optimistic and friendly young man who is just a little naive.
Yellow fancies himself a ladies' man and is always trying his best to look good. He's a bit of a show-off, but he's still a virgin!
Green is the dominant personality, the main IB.
Blue is IB's analytical, quiet side with a thrist for knowledge. He loves to read
Indigo is the pessimistic, sarcastic IB. He's extremely antisocial and kind of likes it that way, or so he tells himself.
Purple is the shy, insecure IB who is unfailingly polite and almost always does as he's told.

My power is the very annoying one of being able to eat non stop and still be skinny. I also have another, seemingly quite common, power of being able to drink vast amounts of alcohol, sing a karaoke song (badly) and then fall over. I try to practise it most weekends and so am getting really good at it - although not, alas, at the karaoke part.

Posted by LARDLAD on :
Wow, I never posted a power description for me on this thread! Well, here goes:
Lard Lad is a Lard Knight, one of a number of beings throughout our universe who can manipulate the other-dimensional energy field known as the Lard Force. It is unknown why some beings can channel the Lard Force while others can't, but all of those who can are either obese or have somehow otherwise a connection with fat cells (like their parents were obese or studied fat cells, etc.). However, only a very small percentage of people who meet these qualifications are actually sensitive to the Lard Force. The teachings of the Order of the Lard Knights state that each adept is chosen by the Lard Force itself.
The most common use of the Lard Force by its Knights involves manipulating their own fat cells. The most common way Knights manipulate their own cells is through teleportation. Somehow, they can invert their cells through willpower to cause themselves to pop from one place to another. The further the teleportation, the greater the risk to themselves and others they may take along. Knights are trained to focus all the deleterious effects on themselves to avoid harm to passengers. A very strenuous teleportation can cause the equivalent of instant starvation at its completion which requires either quick food replenishment or draining fat from someone or something else through the energy manipulation.
A common attack for Lard Knights is a draining blast which siphons calories, or even fat cells, from an opponent, weakening the opponent. The energy manipulation is also effectively used defensively to create force shields. Many feats involving spacial manipulation seem natural uses to wielders of this power.
All Lard Knights are trained fairly extensively in hand-to-hand combat as well. Sword-fighting has been traditionally taught as the preferred method of armed combat at the monastery.
In his earliest adventures with the LMB the above were the ways Lard Lad used his powers. But with time, he became more and more in tune with his connection to the energy field and learned to broaden his ways of manifesting the power. He's learned that the Lard Force is a limitless source of energy, and therefore, its uses by an adept are limitless. The applications that involve fat cells are the easiest to master, but it doesn't have to manifest with that limitation if one devotes his time to broadening his connection to the source of the power. His master has stated that Lard Lad is potentially the most powerful sentient to ever wield the Lard Force.
Since Lardy expanded his understanding, he has eliminated the limitations to his teleportation to the point that he can teleport nearly anywhere without side effects. He's been able to infuse his own body with the energy to such an extent that he now has a considerable amount of super-strength, enhanced reflexes and a personal force field that self-manifests when he is in physical danger. He creates power blasts of devastating force to inanimate objects where before they were only effective on sentients through the drainage effect. His spacial connection has expanded to the degree where he can sense the proximity of others in relation to himself up to a mile away. He's been fine-tuning this power to both recognize the spacial signature of sentients he knows and to develop a loose power profile of those he doesn't know.
Lardy's weakness has always lain within his own personality defects. He is an emotionally- repressed, highly unstable alcoholic. There have been many extended LMB battles that he could've ended very quickly, but Lardy was either too drunk, too busy whore-mongering, too mentally unfocussed or a combination of these to make a difference. Ironically, as his power has increased, these inner conflicts have gotten worse.
If chronicles of what may await in the future are true, he will succeed in regaining these powers and continue to grow in his power more and more. What does his future hold? Well...you ever hear the old adage about power and absolute power?

StuRat, Iron Rat, and STU all seem to have similar powers.
STU's abilities are a bit more evolved, however. He really only has two powers:
1) Omniscience.
2) Omnipotence.
Posted by Exnihil on :
Exnihil, as his name suggests, comes from out of nothing.
He appears, unannounced, from any convenient hiding place (from under a desk, perhaps, or from beneath some hastily tossed laundry), briefly states something with the illusion of pithiness (as though, as another wrote, he were "blowing three or four or five unquestionably sweet and expert notes on a cornet into the room"), then slinks back into his shadow.
He also smokes like a chimney.

I never updated the "Spin"
I found some time back that I could cause materials to whirl and spin at my direction. Commonly the simplest thing to use is the air in my vicinity and cause it to spin so swiftly that it forms a tornado-like vortex, with practice I've found that I can direct these miniature tornados at my opponents using them to different effects. With great effort the spin can be increased to an intensity capable of breaching the time barrier (it's damned hard) or even the wall between the universes. For instance I once took a small group on a trip to the "Pocket Universe" on a failed mission to recruit the original Superboy) I can fly! Cool ain't it?
Spin baby! -heh- It's a good thing I didn't develop this power in an earlier incarnation of myself or I would have totally kicked that robot guys a**!
Yeah, it's not a very subtle power but with more practice I have found some minor uses like causing a very thin layer of air to spin extremely fast and generate heat in sub zero climates. ________________
OK, new guys! Your turn Posted by Red Arrow on :
Red Arrow, as the name suggests has skilled archery skills. She also has pretty good computer science skills.
Question Kid the ability to absorb people's powers, skills, and memories through physical contact. This makes him awesome in battle but a bit of a mess in ordinary life. He can be easily exploited by skilled telepaths (lower level ones would get lost in all the other people's memories he has absorbed) and very sympathetic people. He's the son of Chief Lardy's previous incarnation, and their relationship resembles that of Captain Marvel and Osborn in Civil War/Dark Reign.
Posted by Dev Em on :
I don't know that I ever posted in this thread...too lazy to really look through all the other 12 pages, so:
Dev Em is half Daxamite and half Durlan. So he has all the basic powers of a Daxamite (flight, strength, etc.), but at a mid range level between human and Mon El and the ability to change his features due to his Daxamite heritage. The drawback is he cannot shift his size/weight like other durlans, and cannot totally change into an animal or other creature like Chameleon Boy can.
Also his best friend, and Chewbacca like sidekick is Furball.
Furball is basically our version of the Legions Furball. Strength, agility and quite the ladies man, as they generally love his cuddly tendencies.

future king
Powers: Able to defeat his opponent through carefully directed personal gas, thereby rendering the opponent asphyxiated and thus a non-threat. Also, immediate regeneration of dried nasal mucus which hardens to near- indestructable properties which fk can use to hurl at his attackers.
Other: The lower case codename is intentional btw, so as not to draw attention to himself in the 31st century. Mutant abilities acquired through selective breeding, perfected by the ruling royal family of planet Earth in the 41st century where future king is from.

SharkLad is the perfect killing machine. At seven feet tall, SharkLad is somewhat skeletal in appearance, with an oversized head and mouth. He has a large dorsal fin and eagle-like talons for hands and feet. He can breathe and swim great distances underwater and his body can withstand great pressures. SharkLad’s is a case where his bite is worse than his bark. Along with being able to eat through just about anything or anyone, his “shark bite” is a flurry of projectile teeth, which he fires with remarkable precision. Despite his ferocious appearance and “killer smile,” SharkLad is a loyal teammate and he would never intentionally hurt a fellow LMBer.
And, after my run-in with the Shark Avatar God during a massively cool role-play I can't remember the name of (I think we invaded Taltar), I gained the power to grow to 50 feet by saying "inyuk chuk!" The same phrase allows me to teleport to the vault containing my tank in the basement of the Security Office.

It appears I never posted here?!?! WTF dude.
Lash Lad started out as a kind-of Roy Harper-as-Arsenal marksman with a whip and darts.
At some point, following the battle with the Anti-LMB, the reality-warping "retconforce" was transferred from The Living Retcon to Worthless Girl, transforming her into Retcon Girl.
I'm not remembering how right now, but the retconforce somehow got transferred to Lash Lad, which resulted in him accidentally turning himself into a baby in a very very sweet story that featured Seahorse and Crujectra. (I want to find that story! I need a hard copy) The Super-Lash Tot era was thankfully short-lived.
But the retconforce has faded with time, its energies depleted. Some speculate it may have found a new host in Space Tart, as she has demonstrated a then-previously-unseen ability to create objects out of thin air.
Nowadays, Lash Lad has become a bit of a recluse, even though he is current deputy leader, he chooses to stay holed-up in his quarters with Boy Zombie for the most part, and relays messages through his gal Thursday Thunder Girl.

Posted by Exnihil on :
When I first posted to this thread, I had just joined Legion World, and hadn't realized that the LMBP was an ongoing shared narrative. Since that time, “Ex” has been fleshed out a bit so, a nutshell revision:
Exnihil has no explicit superpowers but, through his interaction with Phineas B. Fuddle, he does have one residual ability that he’s unaware of - more on which later.
Personality-wise - there’s no nice way to say it – Ex is a shyster. Extremely opportunistic, he doesn’t care what the product or event is, if there’s a way to make a buck off of it, he’s there. As a result, the concept of allegiance is a slippery one to him. In the past he’s been alternately been shown to be working with heroes, villains, and those somewhere in between but, at the end of the day, he’s not so much working with them as going along with the most profitable avenue. As a comic-book analogue, I think he’s most akin to the “Funky Flashman” character from Kirby’s Fourth World.
At one point, this sliding scale of morality allowed him to be duped by Phineas B. Fuddle and used as an unwilling participant in Fuddle’s time based schemes. Shunted back and forth across the time-stream, Ex’s mind (unbeknownst to him) sometimes still slips momentarily either forward or backward in time, giving him the appearance of having, alternately, perfect recall or limited precognition.
These episodes, thus far, have been limited enough in scope, that folks (including himself) mark it down to coincidence, but it has allowed him an uncanny ability to succeed in business, building things up from nothing (ex nihilo, as it were), and, for the past couple of years, to herald the winning tickets in the LMB elections (Lardy/cleome and Ram Boy/LASH, respectively).

Furball is a fun loving guy who loooooves the ladies. Loves cuddling and showing them a good time. He and Sharklad have, at it's very best, an extremely antagonistic relationship, which is a shame since they probably could be the most fearsome team on Legionworld. He also talks like scooby doo.

Posted by Red Arrow on :
Thanks, I have to make a note about it because of how mentally weak my characters can become. Red Arrow's memories are jumbled. Question Kid absorbs other people's memories, so his mind can become cluttered over time with excessive use. And of course like all good 4-point Tournament character sponges, he dislikes his powers and has a degree of angst.
The main difference to the two is the approach they have towards Legionworld. Red Arrow sees it as temporary, and she will go "home" (which explains her recent actions in the fanfiction/Security Council). Question Kid on the other hand sees it as his family. He thinks he owes loyalty to Chief Lardy, who happily embraces him as a "son".
Posted by Power Boy on :
Power Boy refresher:
Powers ----------------------------------------
Think Captain Comet or Monet from the X-Men, Jakita from Planetary, if a human were extrapolated to it's utmost potential.
Not quite Daxamite or Kryptonian: strength, super speed, enhanced senses
Enhanced: agility, dexterity, healing and constitution,
Telepathy: He can basically read minds or talk to people telepathically
Telekinesis: Simply force bolts, force fields, and moves objects
Flight (duh)
Energy Absorption / Projection: He gets his power from somewhere ... I think I will leave this a he absorbs ambient cosmic energy and has lazer vision or energy blasts. Don't want to get to go over the top here with powers.
He's not an energy manipulator or a telekinetic he's more an uber human.
He's got the New God or Eternal power set and he's at that level. Awesome compared to most joe's but like Big Barda or Wonder Woman against Power Girl, he's gonna have to think fast to win.
Technology --------------------------------------
Has some New God technology:
Mainly a Mega Rod: Fires Bolts
Mother Box: (keeping it simple) Teleportation via boom tubes, and is a sensory or analysis device. (I think of a Mother Box as needing to be figured out how to use ... like a computer ... it may be able to do more fantastic things in the future ... or not)
He's more like a Jakita from Planetary, Monet from X-Men, or Northstar. A secondary character, kinda ruthless, and not feeling burdened or guilty about being so super (like Super man)
Trained on Apokolips, where there's a lot of super strong people ... he had to rely on cunning, strategy, and martial arts, (and he's not quite super boy levels so with so many daxamites and kryptonians around he has to rely on prowess to go toe to toe with them) for example: so he often uses super speed to take down major threats or a lot of threats at one time.
" Why use super strength to punch a bad guy once when you can punch them 365 times a minute at super strength? "
He also uses his enhanced senses a lot to give him almost a precognitive edge in events and battle.
Origin ------------------------------------------
I'm thinking he was kidnapped from somewhere (Genesis or the somewhere) and experimented on on Apokolips and trained as one of Darkseid's elite. He escaped though.
(Which usually means someone comes looking for you)
But a bit awkward as .... what is the relationship between Apokolips and LW .. or the 'Fourth Dimension' even ?
maybe he fled through the time stream to a place/time where Darkseid is fairly inactive.
I think it's fine for this to be left a mystery and Power Boy an orphan. PB is still young and newish to all this .. which balances out his uber powers.
After Apokolips, while being a good guy, he positions himself against those who are in power who might exercise too much control .. like overzealous law enforcement.

Fanfic Lady used to be Fanfic Lass until one morning she woke up and felt more mature. Her power is similar to Kid Eternity's, but she can only make fictional characters come to life.
The feisty Stealth is an excellent hand-to-hand fighter and has the power to dampen the sound in her immediate vicinity.
Ann Hebistand is a reality TV show star in her own head, the kind of person you love to hate. She has the power of nuclear-intensity obnoxiousness.
Deirdre is a nice, non-powered Irish-American lass who has been Fanfic Lady's romantic partner for a long time. She looks a lot like Colleen Doran.
Amora the Enchantress has not been seen at Legion World for a long time. She did, however, return to the Marvel Universe in Avengers Prime, which at one point looked impossible, so a return to Legion World is not out of the question. Her sorcery is near-limitless.

Space Ranger: Abin's adopted brother. He's a Daxamite. He also loves foot-long chili cheese bratwursts with beer chasers (Usually Micholob). He's legendary for his honesty, integrity, and ability to clear a city block with one silent but deadly burst.

Her two personal demons, Nobody and No One, (Who look like mini-versions of Cobalt Kid and EDE when they're visable) aid her in battle.
My Whee Fem: Think Katana from the Outsiders, only with a sarcastic sense of humor. Fiercely loyal to both EDG and the Ranger.

He also has some control over weather and possesses super-breath. His strength is greater than the average human's, but not by much. He has the potential to be a powerful sorcerer, but has chosen not to pursue that, respecting the traditions of his culture and having seen what that level of power has done to others.
Time-Teller Lad: Tim Temp of Earth can tell the time at any location in the universe, can tell the age of any object and can tell exactly how long it has been since an event has happened.
Hyvvie the Wonder Beagle: A sentient meta-canine, Hyvvie's Nose of Wonder can smell any object within the range of half a planet. Magic tends to interfere with this power.
Old Dutch the Super-Cow: An elderly Kryptonian bovine, she has standard Kryptonian powers, but at a much lower level than what she once possessed.
Rockhopper Lass (wherever she may be): Princess Adelie of the Pyngwyn Colonies of the Earth-4 universe has powers similar to, but not quite as powerful, as Rockhopper Lad's. She does not have super-breath nor any known potential for greater magic.

Okay, here we go again. things have settled down for my characters power wise:
Dev Em - Has the standard Daxamite power set. Not as powerful as Space Ranger. Also still has very limited Durlan abilities, but cannot use them without fear of permanent damage to his sanity.
Timberwolf - He's a genetically altered clone of Dev Em. Dev's DNA was spliced with a lupine race from a yet as unknown planet. He has enhanced abilities (greater than average strength, agility, reaction time, a touch of invulnerability that helps protect him from serious damage. He is also trained in multiple forms of fighting and self defense. He can shift his form to that of a furry version of himself...larger and more feral...called Furball for many years.
Han Em - Devs daughter. Has the ability to sense the thoughts and feelings in animals and her own family members. In time she may develop low level Daxamite powers, but that is unknown at this time.
Jon Em - Devs son. Has a photographic memory, and the ability to build anything he can think of, or has seen. (Think Forge from the X0Men comics - but as a 3 year old). He also may develop low level Daxamite powers as he ages...but only time will tell.
Kar Em - Devs father. A full Daxamite with political experience and military training in special operations.

This thread needs to be updated by the various Legion World mainstays that have never created a power for themselves!
Starting with...Jerry!

That makes sense. IB has matured and grown, so he isn't the nervous kid any more. I'm guessing that reflects a similar process in RL.

I'd verify your guess, but I think it'd be more fun if you verified it yourself, Rocky

One idea I had was that Jerry was like a *constant of the universe* much like 'Death' or 'Galactus' or ... whatever.
Jerry is the spirit of the well spoken, the eloquent, and able to summarize a situation or topic so well that heroes and villains alike are stunned ... unable to argue or fight any further because his statement expresses what they all would have liked to express, only better.

Or he's a durlan like his avatar.

I've long suspected that Dave Hackett, who is, according to his status, the Red Legionnaire, is kept in emergency reserve against the eventuality that fellow LMBer, Crymsun (who turns things red) might someday go evil.
Of course, that implies that each member of the LMB must have an opposite number within their ranks.
Smart policy, that.
Posted by Legion Tracker on :
My opposite is Legion Slacker.
(or is that my alter-ego?)
Posted by Jerry on :
Hmm. I'm thinking about it and will get back to you soon.

My powers are "ill defined", which makes me a boon to writers who wish to resolve a situation easily, much to the hair-pulling chagrin of continuity obsessed LMB readers who just want to know what I can and can't really do already.

Maybe Dave has the power to make anything undefinable, baffling linguists and professors everywhere!

Does that mean his archenemy is the Dictionary?

No...that would be Cobie's arch nemesis.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Cobie and Dave are secretly partners! Between Dave's ability to erase definitions and Cobie's ability to destroy spelling, they can wipe out entire languages in minutes.
Run away, Cypher! Run away now!

Okay -- Here we go:
Jerry (aka Jer Daggle)
Powers:
* Natural Durlan shapeshifting abilities;
* Ability to slip his body forward or backward through the time stream at will without the assistance of any time machine, time bubble or similar scientific or technical device. These time slips can involve travel ranging from a few seconds forward or backward to countless centuries.
* A daydream believer and a homecoming queen.
Jerry is the secret love child of Ji Daggle and the Time Trapper.

So which of us will you pick to be your homecoming king? Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Alright Jerry and Dave! I love it! It is now LMB canon!
Who else needs to confirm their powers?

Each of the seven has a part of the personality of the "real" IB:
Red is a hothead whose rage is really a mask for his insecurity and hurt.
Orange is an energetic, outgoing, optimistic and friendly young man who is just a little naive.
Yellow fancies himself a ladies' man and is always trying his best to look good. He's a bit of a show-off, but he's still a virgin!
Green is the dominant personality, the main IB.
Blue is IB's analytical, quiet side with a thrist for knowledge. He loves to read
Indigo is the pessimistic, sarcastic IB. He's extremely antisocial and kind of likes it that way, or so he tells himself.
Purple is the shy, insecure IB who is unfailingly polite and almost always does as he's told.
I so have to update this.
Blue is the compassionate, caring one who loves to learn about other people.
Orange is the adrenaline junkie and loves to challenge himself physically.
Indigo is the sarcastic, analytic, bookish one.
and let's just say that Yellow is definitely not all talk any more Posted by Blaze on :
Are you sure you're not working for United Colors of Benetton, IB?

Uh... my power is to rack up huge amounts of credit card debt while being idle (not while being Eric Idle, however).
Posted by Viridis Lament on :
I should probably hammer out the exact details of my new persona soon too....
Posted by cleome45 on :
Also, my Kryptonite is defective yogurt containers, or the "official" colors of a certain Multinational mega-chain (blue + khaki). Or possibly both.
