Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Better-0ff-Forgotten Characters

A self-defeating thread.

Who would you like to erase from Legion history? Who's just too embarassing to even make jokes about?

My vote goes to Legion applicant "Double Header" - one guy, two heads, and the heads were always fighting with one another. He was an ugly cuss, too.

I seoncd that, Double Header is just... *Shudders*

I would vote for Color Kid if it weren't for the Subs which shown he was somewhat useful.

Proty -- I'm not racist or anything, but I never liked the little pisser and stories that involved him or his race weren't interesting (or just plain destructive to continuity -- Lightning Lad, Kid Q I).

The new Emerald Empress -- sucks, sucks, sucks (and not in a good way).

I've got the all-time character... and I can prove it too, because nobody ever posts about the character.

I'm going to let some other people have a crack at naming the character first, because if I name the character now, I'm pretty confident that it will kill this thread.

I echo Drake's vote for Proty. The little bastard tried to ruin Garth's continuity. That useless little piece of protoplasam should have just stayed dead!

Proty was an excrescence, wasn't he? And Minesurfer's pick sounds intriguing.

Somehow, in these blissful summer days, I had actually forgotten about....
KOKO! KOKO! KOKO! A life in a cosmetic testing lab would be too good for him.

KRYPTO. Kill him off, mince him into the consistancy of mashed potatoes, burn the remains, and never speak of him again.

Fortress Lad is the most obvious that springs to mind. Yuck!

Other than that, there are very few I'd consider better-off forgotten.

Nope haven't seen the character named yet.

This is the exact reason why I chose my avatar though. I figured nobody else would choose Proty... and well the imp in me figured it might drive some people "crazy" to keep looking at it.

I like to think of it as the LLance picture for this board. I'm thinking about drawing a bro or manzier on it.

Kid Quantum (preboot) - what kind dupes did they think we were? None of my Adventure comics have him in 'em. And to top it off he was some kind of space hippie/Arrested-Development-without-the-rapping goofball. And he was some kind of Protean too, though it makes my head hurt to try to remember exactly how.

Kid Quantum I (postboot) - Jerk. Looking back, it might not have been nice that his corpse got blowed up, but it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Atmos (preboot) - Jerk. B.I.O.N. should've killed him slower.

This one's for Greybird:

"Bounty" - Some bodiless cretin does bad things to Dawnstar and society in general. Thankfully they followed up on it and came to a nice resolution to that subplot. No wait, they never did.

Oh, I know!! It's that annoying SP Officer who was Svaughn's partner right??? What a turd he was whateverhisnamewuz-- I forgot him already I guess....

I was quite pleased when FORTRESS LAD was whited out by Zero Hour.

Dvron, wuznit? Whutta schmo...

The real cause of Zero Hour: The wiseguy who had Wildfire rooming in F-Lad's colon...!

Haven't seen the name yet.

I'll post my choice tomorrow just before lunch on the east coast (US) of course. Don't want to let the tension get to be too much... Don't know if this character will be a let down or not. Anymore than what they already are of course...

Matter-Eater Lad should choke on water and die.

The only good Bismolian is a dead Bismolian.

Look it up.

Ok, I'll take another guess ... Marla? What's that old fart really done anyway besides put webcams in the girls' shower?

We wait with bated breath. I figure it must be some character who messes with memory, but I don't know who that might be.

Maybe Lady Memory from Talok?

Boy, that Nardo sure is a prickly guy. I thought he liked fat Bismollians.

And this would make him annoying...how?

Alright, a few clues...

You guys aren't thinking obscure enough, only one appearance for this GUY that I can think of.

Not a purely Legion character I know but I kinda wish I could forget about comet the super horse.

The thought of dear sweet Kara getting it on with a boyfriend who was also a horse was always a little, well; unnatural I mean I know there are websites devoted to that sort of goings on. But…..

It's not quite lunch time yet, but I'm hungry and I hope to keep my lunch down when I do eat. The only way that will happen is if I am not thinking about this character, so here we go...

Bob Saggett,
Screech,
Urkel,
Willy Ames,
Boss Hogg and Roscoe P. Coltrain.

Well if comic books were TV, this Legion character would be the next name uttered. One appearance that to me is so memorable only because I wish I could forget it.

Bloodlines Story, Legion Annual #3 or something like that. It's starting to filter back to you now… Jamm.

Wisked away from his 1990's setting (along with Furball, I believe, and some Demonic entity (Don't you think Demonic Entities have an unfounded bad rep?)) and unleashed on an unsuspecting, yet albeit clothed Legion. Has there ever been a worse character than a male siren? Not only that, but with power over both sexes? Its Legion androgyny not seen since the Shvaugn/Sean days.

I ask you, what good is a siren without boobs? If comics were TV, this character would have me pressing at the mute button faster than a Madonna video. I don't even think Jamm's creator liked him, and sometimes I don't think the creator of Jamm liked us either. Hell, if Jamm had a mother, I don't even think she would like him.

Just plain, bad stuff. Give me Proty and Lori Morning any day, all day and be glad that Jamm is toast. Don't let your skateboard hit you on the way out. Just hope that the front wheels catch on Lori's H-Dial and send him head over feet onto hard pavement.

Thread Over. End of Topic.

Hmm... Jamm is a pretty good choice, minesurfer.

Jamm and Fortress Lad probably stand as the worst two in my book.

AMEN! That was an awful issue. And quite frankly I don't even remember Jamm and I'm not going into the old comics box to remind myself.

Oh come ON! Jamm did the same thing alla YOU would have done-- made Night Girl and Shadow Lass get nekkid!

Yeah, he sucked pretty bad. One of the reasons why LEGION should never be subjugated to DC crossovers. (Laurel Kent: Manhunter being another example, Superboy eradicated by CRISIS being a third!)

Them's fighting words, ya 3-eyed bastich!
