Been trying to get my girlfriend interested in comics. Lent her my "Who's Who" loose-leaf editions.

And after reading 'em, she suggested a new hero, one with onions as a super-power (disarm villains by making them cry).

So after much thought, I present ... The Legion of Super-Vegetables:

Onion Lad
Carrot Kid (he's bad for your eyes)
Celery Queen
Tomato Terror
and Lettuce Lass

Any other ideas?

-- Mike

The Rutabegan (for more of a post-boot flavor name)

Mr. Potato Head? powers to be defined...maybe he can mash, boil or fry things and people. He could even have a sidekick, Tater Tot. Lots of sponsorship/licensing potential.

You scoff - but they probably sneered at SpongeBob when he was first suggested...

Asparagus Lass -- she can make your urine smell

Artichoke Lord -- his amazing cardiac abilities are overlooked often due to his capacity to close off your windpipe

Zuchini Boy -- his hefty powers remain a secret to Legionnaires only

Hemp Lad
Parsnip Lass
Brussel Sprout
Chili Pepper Chet
Cucumber Queen
Radicchio Roy

Onion Lad, in Adult LSVeg continuity, could become The Town Crier

Imagine Nardos'
Super-Vegematic of space!

is jack lalane a new villain for this legion? with his juicer & mad juicing wife and son?

Bok-Choi Boy!

<span style="font-size: 16px;">Gazpacho Girl!</span>

Her <span style="font-size: 15px;">fiery</span> temper masks the <span style="font-size: 15px;">coldness</span> in her heart!

oooo, colour!!!

Another Villain: The Salad Legionnaire - He has all the powers of the Legionnaires.

Nobody has mentioned the original vegetable-powered superhero, Spinach Lad - aka Popeye the Sailor Man?

Other random Vegetable heroes (or villains);

Representing France, L'aubergine!
Garlic Girl can repel vampires!
Jumping Bean leaps tall buildings in a single bound!
Squash Lad can crush anything he gets his hands on. It turns out that he has no vegetable connection at all, and was rejected.

Corn Pone - dual powers of a grain and a vegetable, super-strength with high speed and a laid back personality.

'Mr. Potato Head would work like an Arms-Fall-Off-Boy.


Tater Tot could be one of Ivy's best friends, he's a soil elemental that gets things ready for Ivy's seeds.

This thread reminds of Creativity Kid, who I miss on LW in the various forums. He ran for LMB Leader once against Lash, EDE and a host of others when he was still brand new!

As for Veggie-Legionnaires...I think I'd go the route of "Beet Beatnik", a hip member of the Heroes of Lallor.
