The post-ZH era of the Legion may not have been everybody's favorite era, and we all know it wasn't consistently good. But it did have its moments. I have a list here of the 35 Legionnaires (plus honoraries) of the reboot Legion, and one of them will be the Reboot Legion Idol!
Andromeda Apparition Brainiac 5 Chameleon Chuck Taine Cosmic Boy Dreamer Element Lad Ferro Gates Gear Invisible Kid Karate Kid Kid Quantum Kid Quantum II Kinetix Leviathan Live Wire Magno M'Onel Monstress Saturn Girl Sensor Shikari Spark Star Boy Superboy (Kon-el) Thunder Timber Wolf Triad Ultra Boy Umbra Violet Wildfire XS
Let's start thinning the ranks. For Round 1, pls. vote for the 3 Legionnaires on the list who you think are least worthy of being the Reboot Legion Idol. I'll then eliminate the 3 with the most votes. Voting stops on June 17. Thanks!

Round 1 is over!
The wrath of public opinion wipes SUPERBOY (KON-EL) out with 12 votes.
7 voters decided to hang SENSOR out to dry.[/b]
Finally, the judges just couldn't decide who was the worst, so KID QUANTUM, THUNDER and MAGNO were all unceremoniously booted out.
30 left:

Round 2 is over.
6 voters decided to send GEAR to the junkyard.
Following immediately behind, 4 voters tossed a rusted FERRO into the heap as well.
Finally, 3 Legionnaires tied with 3 votes each. However, voting in previous rounds determined that SHIKARI would be left stranded in whatever hypertime reality she wound up in.
This still leaves us with 27 Legionnaires:
Andromeda Apparition Brainiac 5 Chameleon Chuck Taine Cosmic Boy Dreamer Element Lad Gates Invisible Kid Karate Kid Kid Quantum II Kinetix Leviathan Live Wire M'Onel Monstress Saturn Girl Spark Star Boy Timber Wolf Triad Ultra Boy Umbra Violet Wildfire XS
Right now, we're going to have a change in the rules of the game. Each voter gets to pick ten Legionnaires from the list, and rank them from one to ten. Each place on the list will get corresponding points like so:
This may seem like a pretty skewed ranking system, but let's remember that fans' number 1 faves are always pretty special, and fans' top 5 faves are also usually pretty special. Besides, I thought it would be fun to vote four our faves instead of voting for those we like the least.
Since 3 days seems to be a pretty long time in between rounds, I'll shorten this round to two days. I'll be back with the results on June 22. The three Legionnaires with the least points will get sent home; previous round votes will be deducted from the Legionnaires' overall scores. Thanks for playing!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Ok so I assume that now we are voting for our favorite Legionnaires:
With an extremely poor showing of -3, KID QUANTUM IIdoesn't get her way, and is instead shown the highway.
Not doing much better with only 2 points, ELEMENT LAD is deleted from the list.
Almost, but not quite, reaching safety, (oh, that one point!) COSMIC BOY gets chucked into limbo. Let's just hope he doesn't come back as the Time Trapper and retcon this thread.
For the next round, I'll be giving each Legionnaire a starting score of 10% of the votes they got in this round. This way, a Legionnaire's lead won't be insurmountable, but there will be continuity from the previous round. The rest of the votes from this round will be recored to serve as tie-breakers, just in case.
The next round will be the same as the last one; vote for your top 10 and rank them. I've yweaked the point system a little bit. Now, points will be given as follows:
1)Invisible Kid 2)Monstress 3)Kinetix 4)Triad 5)Gates 6)Chameleon 7)Violet 8)Karate Kid 9)Apparition 10)Saturn Girl

All right, since the next step in the game is to pick the Top 12, after which I'll change the format of the game, I will make sure the next elimination round, which will be the round after next, ends on Tuesday. We'll be doing something different next round- and I'm going to be busy studying for midterms, so it works for me too
But you do owe Kinetix a lot of votes

Round 7 ends with two more Legionnaires being dropped from the list - and this time, they get eliminated by very large margins.
Finally, after two rounds of clinging desparately to the list, LIVE WIRE gets shorted out with 65 points.
BRAINIAC 5: in the reboot, he was stranded in the 20th century, almost killed by his own mother and swallowed up by the Rift. Now he's getting tossed out with 66 points.
Our 14 survivors, and their "bonus" points for the next round:
The next round will be a little different: In the tradition of Legion World's Survivor-style games, it will be a bring-back round!
Here's how it goes: rank 5 Legionnaires who have already been eliminated. Points will be awarded as follows:
1st - 10 2nd - 8 3rd - 6 4th - 4 5th - 2
The Legionnaire who gets the most points will be added back onto the list for the next round.
Here's the list of eliminated Legionnaires:
Brainiac 5 Chameleon Chuck Taine Cosmic Boy Element Lad Ferro Gear Kid Quantum Kid Quantum II Leviathan Live Wire Magno M'Onel Sensor Shikari Spark Superboy (Kon-el) Thunder Timber Wolf Ultra Boy Wildfire

And because tis is a tie, both ELEMENT LAD and LEVIATHAN are resurrected from the dead to rejoin our Legionnaires on the list.
To give these two more of a chance for the next round, I've decided to give them bonus points too. Both of them get a helping of 8 bonus points.
Here's our list of the 16 contenders for the next round:
Our aim for the next round is to pick our Top 12 Legionnaires, so here's how we'll do it. Rank your Top 12 Legionnaires, and they'll get a corresponding number of points based on ranking.
Since we have 16 Legionnaires, the bottom 4 will get eliminated. This round ends by July 6. Thanks for voting!

ELEMENT LAD gets deleted once again from the list. He watched his world die, was brainwashed by Chu, crystallized by Mordru, sucked into the rift, and saved his friends but turned into the Progenitor, iilling Candi and Garth - move over, Thom and Garth, we have another poor, unlucky Legionnaire on our hands.
ANDROMEDA decied to go back to her Super Convent... of Space! And after she was used as a pawn by the White Triangle, repented, then was almost killed by Mordru and transformed in the Anomaly, I don't blame her.
STAR BOY's gravity powers kicked in and repelled him from the Top 12. He's had a tough time in the reboot too - he was hospitalized, suddenly acquired a new set of powers, lost them and was suspended, then became more powerful only to have his powers go nuts, all the while living up to Leviathan's expectations. But at least he had Dreamer to keep him company. Until now.
Finally, LEVIATHAN. Gim had a promising start having to deal with Kid Quantum's death, humbling himself and supporting Cosmic Boy's leadership, having this little thing with Zoe, dealing with Thom, and then becoming the first Legionnaire postboot to knowingly and willfully sacrifice himself in the line of duty. He was just narrowly eliminated, but at least he's alive and happy in the threeboot.
Now for a bit of a change in the rules of the game. This time, please choose only 6 Legionnaires and rank them 1 to 6. Points will be given accordingly:
1st - 15 points 2nd - 12 3 - 10 4 - 8 5 - 7 6 - 5
I won't be giving any "bonus" points for the next few rounds.
To keep the game going at a steady pace, we'll still eliminate the bottom two for the next round. I'll post the results on July 8. Thanks for voting!

Well, we knew it probably wouldn't have lasted much longer. But she put up a (surprisingly) good, solid fight, which shows how much she grew as a character. Let's give the lovely MONSTRESS some love as she leaves with 32 points.
Here's a gal whose popularity slid a bit in the past couple of years. But her intense characterization must have helped pull her through until now, so let's bid SATURN GIRL farewell as she exits with 36 points.
The one Legionnaire who seemed the safest throughout the game, (and who has gotten the highest cumulative number of points so far, at over 1100!), INVISIBLE KID, fades away with 36 points. He WAS almost eliminated once before, but managed to squeak through with about 5 points to spare. Fare thee well, Lyle.
Throughout the post-ZH era of the Legion, Lyle's been one of the most interesting Legionnaires. He's saved the day so many times and been one of the stalwarts of the team. Here's hoping the Threeboot Lyle can live up to this version.
Ladies and Gents, our Top 5!
Gates Kinetix Triad Umbra XS
Again, please vote for only 3 Legionnaires. Since we're nearing the end of the game and only have four rounds left, I've tweaked the point distribution a bit.
1st - 8 points 2nd - 5 3rd - 3
This round ends on July 18. Thanks for voting!

XS and Kinetix never really did anything for me, so: 1. Triad 2. Umbra 3. Gates
Actually, I liked XS most of the time, but when they would have all her words running together, to show how fast she was talking, it got old real fast.
I'm not looking forward to having to choose between Triad and Umbra, both of whom I've liked since their original appearances (which, of course, I read much after the fact, but you know)...

I actually like Lyle more than anyone else left on this list but I'm kinda tired of the same people winning these games all the time, so I'm giving my votes to some characters who deserve a chance on the winner's podium for once (that means NOT Triad!).

Isn't it interesting that the finalists are the ones who are either new characters or reinvisionings of old ones?

I find it more interesting that they're all (including Lyle - who I expect lost because of the insidious trap whereby everyone assumed he was the one in no danger - and the ones who lost in the rounds just before him) characters who Waid has either dumped or drastically changed...

True, especially for Jenni, Zoe and Gates. And of course Lu's new origin. Monstress' and Vi's good showing would fit this too. On the other hand, I don't think Shadow Lass is that drastic a change. Tinya was drastically changed, but she only just barely made the Top 12. Of course, this observation applies to enough Legionnaires that it is probably true

I think it might have something to do with just how crappily many of the "classic" characters were treated during the reboot. It's a lot easier to think "Yeah, XS was a pretty good during the reboot" than it is to think "Yeah, Vi was pretty good during the reboot" just because you don't have other versions to compare to.
Posted by SouthtownKid on :
Yeah, I can't think of any character that I liked the reboot version more than the original, although I still like Triad and Umbra a lot (and Triplicate Girl and Shadow Lass are great in the threeboot also...glad they got their names back).

Another round, another Legionnaire off to his or her destiny...
This has probably been the closest round yet, with two characters tying for last place and another one only one point higher.
Using the accumulated points to break the tie (Kinetix - 1023; Umbra - 891) means that UMBRAgoes to join her ancestors in the realm of the shadows once more.
FYI, the accumulated points for the other 3 are: Gates - 1003; Triad - 1028; XS - 1015.
Tasmia was arguably one of the most interesting Legionnaires of the post-ZH team, and she had her moments; whether it was her facing off against the Super Rejects, being instrumental in taking out Mordru, terrorizing her former teammates in Damned and dealing with the fallout in Lost, she's never failed to entertain. But her future in the threeboot looks every bit as bright, at least.
Finally, we have our Top 4:
Gates Kinetix Triad XS
This time, please vote for only 2 Legionnaires.
1st place - 5 pts 2nd - 3 pts
This round ends on July 20. Thanks for voting!

Feel free to count the points yourself. I counted the votes for the last round twice to make sure.
Kinetix also definitely had more accumulated points tha Umbra did.

A very interesting round, folks.
Results:
XS - 39 Triad - 37 Gates - 36 Kinetix - 18
Alas, KINETIX takes her final bow as she slips away with 18 points. After two rounds of narrow escapes, well, it was just her time. She did very well when we started voting for our favorites, consistently making the Top 5, and for a few rounds there she was consistently at second place; but she almost got eliminated when we were still voting off the characters we didn't like. Such is the paradox of Kinetix; a character who had tons of potential which writer after writer wasted. Still, I'm thrilled she made it this far
Our Top Three: Gates Triad XS
Here are the rules for the next round: You can either vote for one character who will get three points; or vote for two characters; the one you rank first will get 2 points and the second one will get one point. This round ends on July 22. Thanks for voting!
(edited to add 3 points to XS last round; I forgot to count 1 vote)

Yeah, it just comes down to preference, and I guess reboot Star Boy might come close for me (I liked him towards the end and in his Legion Worlds issue), as would Invisible Kid, but the originals had so much longer to develop. The exception to that would be Lyle, since he died before character development really came into play, but dang it, I like those old adventures.

It occurs to me that I probably could have done away with this round and gone straight ahead to the finals, but what the hell.
GATES teleports out of the game with 1 point. While our favorite bug did lose in this round by a large margin, let us not forget that he made it all the way to the 3rd spot. Gates was arguably the most original of the reboot Legionnaires, and he played a key role in many stories (the battle against Mantis, the timeslip to the 50's, the capture of Brainiac 4, vs the Fatal Five on Tenazor-4, the conclusion of the terrorfirming arc) and always had a sarcastic quip for the occasion. He'll be missed.
Our Top Two: Triad XS
For the final round, vote for the one Legionnaire whom you want to win. This round ends on July 25. Thanks for voting!

Final Tally:
Triad - 10 XS - 7
We crown TRIAD the winner of our little game, and she stands as an example of a Legionnaire who was reasonably popular in all eras of the Legion. In the reboot, though, she had an interesting backstory, a lot of great moments (like when she beat up Ra's) and a trio of unique personalities to see her through.
Recognition should be given to XS for coming in second; Jenni was one of the first Legionnaires to truly grow up in the reboot as she came to be a true hero. She likewise had a good backstory and great moments (like in Damned and Worlds).
Here's the final ranking of Legionnaires based on the order they were eliminated:
1. Triad 2. XS 3. Gates 4. Kinetix 5. Umbra 6. Invisible Kid 7. Karate Kid 8. Violet 9. Saturn Girl 10. Monstress 11. Dreamer 12. Apparition 13. Leviathan 14. Star Boy 15. Andromeda 16. Element Lad 17. Brainiac 5 18. Live Wire **Leviathan originally eliminated 19. Chameleon 20. Spark 21. Timber Wolf 22. Chuck Taine 23. Ultra Boy 24. M'Onel 25. Wildfire 26. Cosmic Boy **Element Lad originally eliminated 27. Kid Quantum II 28. Shikari 29. Ferro 30. Gear 31. (tie) Kid Quantum 31. Magno 31. Thunder 34. Sensor 35. Superboy (Kon)
Thanks to everyone for voting! You've all made it a fun game, and at times a very unpredictable one too.

See you guys at the next Survivor Game, whenever that may be!
