Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread XXII - Young Adulthood

I miss the quantity of decent writing they once had.

I can remember stories I read in the 70s & 80s. Don’t ask me what Batman did last month.

Considering the number of times he's been hit in the head, I don't think Batman knows what he did last month either.

It is unbelievable how in movies, tv shows, and anime how characters can take all sorts of punishing blows and still act normally. When in real life if you stub your toe you will spend the next 5 minutes dealing with the pain.

Being able to knock people out by a blow on the back of the head is one of those skills that media falsely led me to believe would be much more important in life than it actually is.

Movies also make people believe that happy endings are more common than they really are.

Wait! So that guy I stalked won’t falls in love with me?

Next you’ll be telling me that the sun doesn’t revolve around the Earth.

Also, a man can make another man pregnant.

And the Legion of Super-Heroes was never actually published.

What?! Hang on, there must be a problem with your message getting through my transuit to my telepathic earplug. I hope I don't have to use my LW Flightless Ring to take them back to the repair shop.

Silly, the earplugs are made of nanites. No need for a repair shop. They self-repair.

So the person who really controls everything in the galaxy is the person who programs the nanites. Mordru really just wanted directions to the nearest hat shop, but thanks to the nanite controlled earplugs it came out as him wanting to kill everyone.

I think you've figured out Computo's latest scheme!

I think that we are lucky that Brainiac was not named Braino.

Rokk could be Magno, Garth could be Electro and Imra could be Mentallo. Obviously they'd be fighting Amazo and Despero decendants.

They did end up using Mentalla for a telepath

Mentalla was cool. I always thought, if she had done what she did in the Adventure Era, she would likely have succeeded. As it is, it was impressive how far she got; successfully fooling 4 other criminals as long as she did.

One of the few DC characters to stay dead.

Some events love trading in beloved characters for other characters.

I was enraged at Solstice being one of the casualties in Heroes in Crisis. But then they had to go and bring Kole back. So now I'm only angry.

I guess that they'll bring Solstice back at some point too. I wonder if Kole has appeared anywhere outside of the event, or was her appearance there a continuity HICcup.

One good thing about the Legion not being set in the present DCU is that generally aren't available to serve as fodder for these sorts of things. Though LO3W was bad enough.

Ugh, yes. And of course, the Retroboot Legion - the one being introduced /brought back by that event - had no casualties. The Threeboot Legion though? Meh, they're not going to appear again for a while anywayyyyy.

And this is even without my bias because of what happend to Kinetix! Whom I still think can be fairly easily brought back.

She sure can...

Kinetix: Are you sure Brainy programmed you for this?
Computo: Certainly. I have now activated the Sanctuary V Therasphere. You will now be able to create an environment to help deal with issues around transformation or power neediness you have.
Kinetix:But what if I don't know how to choose a helpful path?
Computo: Irrelevant as all paths lead to residents being Event fodder.
Kinetix: Hmmm. I could always give Freud V another go....
Computo: I can do that too. Just tell me about your mother while I set these explosives.

The explosives are there to... uh... I don't know. Blow up the Sorceror's World so Kinetix can be restored?

No need. That was her appearing as if by magic in a futuristic version of HiC. No need to have a reason for her turning up. Not in the days of revolving continuity. If there's a whim to bring someone back, they're back!

I liked the Threeboot origin of Triplicate Girl.

And Colossal Boy’s gay younger brother.
