IB's Post Zero Hour Legion - the Recap and Bio Thread - VOLUME 5! (as of August 26, 2023) - 06/22/14 06:09 AM
This thread is to recap my very long Continuing Adventures of the Postboot Legion thread.
I've been having a lot of fun writing about the continuing adventures of the Postboot Legion. At first, I had just intended to write one-off vignettes for each Legionnaire, showing the impact they had on their reality beyond fighting villains.
But as I went on and on, and introduced new developments and a new Legion of Super-Heroes, I thought - why not continue the story? What if the Legionnaires got back together and returned to their universe?
And so I bring you a recap/table of contents thread. As I finish each "volume", I will add to this. This is so my actual fanfic thread doesn't get bloated with summaries, and also so anyone interested in reading can jump to the end without worrying about everything that has gone before. Finally, it's useful as an aid for me. Makes it easier to remember everything I've written about before

*****************************************************************
What Came Before
1. The Postboot Legion first vanished into the timestream at the end of the Teen Titans/Legion Special, after defeating the Fatal Five. Present were all active Legionnaires, Andromeda (restored to her original form and costume) and Chuck Taine (there was a figure with a cap and jacket). Shikari was separated from her teammates, and emerged in an unfamiliar world. Unfortunately, this was not picked up on.
2. In Infinite Crisis 6, the Legionnaires are shown in one panel, back home on Earth-247. How they got back there was never explained. Shikari reappears as well, stating that she has finally found them. Apparently, at the end of Infinite Crisis, Earth-247 ceases to exist.
3. The Legionnaires next appear in Legion of 3 Worlds, trapped once more in Limbo. Chuck Taine is absent. We know that they were rescued from Limbo by the Retroboot Legion.
4. This story assumes that Earth-247 had somehow continued on after Infinite Crisis. The "how"? I'm working on explaining that in Volume 2
5. Magno had resigned from active Legion membership, and remains on Earth-247.
6. Thunder resigned from Legion membership, and apparently still remains in the 90th Century of her Earth.
7. Inferno had left the Legion (whether she actually was a member is debatable), and is apparently still in the 21st Century Earth that the Legion had been trapped on.
8. XS and Gates decided to stay with the Retroboot Legion on the new post-Flashpoint Earth. XS declined a post at the Legion Academy and was last seen making a mosaic somewhere. Gates joined an away team that was trapped in the 21st century in the Legion Lost 2nd series.
9. Kinetix was apparently killed in action during Legion of 3 Worlds. Her magic was absorbed first by Mordru, then by the Black Witch (Mysa).
10. Element Lad, Monstress, Leviathan and Kid Quantum I all died in the universe of Earth-247 long before the events of the Teen Titans/Legion Special.
11. The remaining Legionnaires (minus XS, Gates and Kinetix) survived Legion of 3 Worlds and decided to become the new "Wanderers"; they are hopping through dimensions to find other survivors of their universe. Their full roster is: Kid Quantum II (leader), Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Live Wire (restored to his human form), Apparition, Triad, Chameleon, Invisible Kid, Brainiac 5, Spark, Violet, Andromeda, Star Boy, Ultra Boy, M'Onel, Umbra, Sensor, Ferro, Karate Kid, Wildfire, Shikari, Gear, Timber Wolf and Dreamer.
12. The current Legion of Super-heroes consists of Nightwind (leader), Infectious Lass, Blizzard (Polar Boy), Babbage, Magnetic Kid, the White Witch (Lady Mysa), Impulse (Kent Shakespeare), Lume, Particon, and Spider-Girl (who just joined). Chuck Taine works with them but is non-powered.
13. Other supporting cast members who work with the Legion include Dyrk Magz, Shvaughn Erin, Gigi Cusimano, Tenzil Kem, Lori Morning (minus her H-Dial), RJ Brande, Marla Latham, Proty, Dr. Ryk'rr, Dr. Gym'll and Winema Wazzo. The Uncanny Amazers and the Legion Cadets are also active.
Recap:
Volume 1: Loss contains one-post vignettes for each Legionnaire. In order:
Kinetix. Before her disappearance, Kinetix had been regaining her original personality and mental capacity. She, her mother Azra and her brother Thanot had talked about starting a scholarship foundation for fashion designers. One requirement was that designers needed to devote part of their time to functional designs, i.e. clothes for archaeologists, firefighters, Science Police officers etc. Zoe's childhood friend Mabuhay was the first scholarship recipient.
Monstress. Kinetix's mother Azra approached Monstress' father and convinced him to help her open the Zoe and Candi Institute of Design. Azra wanted to immortalize Zoe, and chose Monstress' father because Monstress also loved fashion, plus her father was rich! Insect Queen helps out and tells Candi's father that she kept thinking about him despite his neglect of her. Candi's father reveals that what kept him away was his own shame, rather than disappointment of her mutation.
Timber Wolf. Brin's old gang on Rimbor all survived their confrontation with the bounty hunters in Legion Worlds 6. They have become much more self-sufficient, and are slowly working on cleaning up their old neighborhood.
Karate Kid. The training module that Val designed in cooperation with Shvaughn Erin, Gigi Cusimano and Dyrk Magz has been launched. The module focuses on unarmed combat and use of non-lethal force to subdue enemies using common weapon types and common meta-powers.
Invisible Kid. Condo Arlik mourns his boyfriend Lyle Norg. This post recounts how they met. I also showed Jacques Foccart invisibly visiting Lyle's memorial. The Foccarts, including Danielle, are also mentioned.
Umbra. Life on Talok VIII continues on. With Umbra's encouragement, it has started opening itself up more to the United Planets. Several children have already received scholarships to study off-planet.
Inferno A crazed young man desperately searches for news on Inferno, who - to the 3oth century at large - simply disappeared. The last official news bit had been that she accompanied the Legionnaires who were on a "secret mission" (the team stranded in the 20th century).
Chuck Taine. Tenzil Kem visits Chuck, as the latter deals with losing his friends and handling the new Legionnaires as advisor. We see that Chuck misses Triad, while Tenzil misses Violet.
Kid Quantum II. New Legion leader Nightwind leads Polar Boy, Infectious Lass, and Lume against a group of armed opponents. Though her team is still raw, she rallies them into efficiently disarming their opponents and protecting innocent bystanders. She reflects on Jazmin's mentoring, and how it helped her effectively lead the team while celebrating their individual talents and personalities.
Apparition. Winema Wazzo inaugurates Legion month, and reflects on how her relationship with Tinya greatly improved after Winema had almost been killed (Legion 35-38).
Gates. Infectious Lass, White Witch, Kent Shakespeare and Dr. Gym'll are on a medical mission to a poorer UP world. Drura reflects on how Gates (with help from herself, Brainiac 5, Kinetix, Chlorophyll Kid and Kent Shakespeare) convinced the UP to start this program.
Gear. Hannah Wells, formerly Trudi Trusoe, reflects on how Gear was one of the more overlooked Legionnaires. She airs a piece showcasing his contributions to the Legion, including his (and Brainiac 5's) continuing aid to Robotica, and his exposure of the Black Star juvenile correction facility which was enslaving super-powered youths.
Violet. The imprisoned Emerald Eye thinks about how Violet was its best host yet. It compares her quiet confidence and inner strength to its other hosts.
Dreamer. The Titanet program now includes the training of young Naltorian dreamers. This post explores the expansion of Dreamer's original idea to use her precognition in conjunction with the Titanet as an early warning system for the UP.
Brianiac 5. Babbage and Coluan Legion cadet Zaron Lux successfully manage to hook Babbage up to the Coluan sleepnet. Babbage transmits information along the sleepnet. This exercise had been improved by both the Coluan and Robotican governments, and younger Coluans are supportive of greater cooperation between the two worlds.
M'Onel. Hannah Wells interviews Captain Shvaughn Erin about her time with the Legion and her ongoing role as Legion Liaison officer. When the questioning turns to M'Onel's true identity, Shvaughn resolutely hides his identity. Out of respect, Hannah abandons that line of questioning.
Leviathan. Lieutenant Gigi Cusimano approaches Captain Shvaughn Erin about tactics that Leviathan taught her for dealing with meta-powered assailants. She wants to expand on the Karate Kid module. Gigi also reveals that she has been assigned to command the Science Police contingent on Legion World.
XS. Lori Morning is coping with the loss of her H-Dial well, thanks to XS. However, in Lori's dreams, she is still the Time Trapper. She almost destroys the Retroboot reality and tampers with time to bring the Legionnaires home, but decides against it. When she is awake, she is not aware of her Time Trapper status nor does she remember her dreams.
Shikari. Matriarch Enkenet is troubled that more and more Kwai youth are embracing the aggressive hunter instincts that Shikari displayed. However, she comes to accept that it is a part of their culture, and that the youth can learn to be responsible like Shikari had been.
Credits to Omni for providing inputs on Enkenet's reaction and thoughts.
Ultra Boy. Spider-Girl successfully auditions for the Legion, using both her prehensile hair and her advanced espionage skills. She regrets not having followed Ultra Boy's example earlier but reveals that she has gotten over him.
Magno. On a visit to Legion psychiatrist Dr. Rykrr's office, Science Police Officer Dyrk Magz subdues a paranoid patient. He has been transferred to Legion World. Kent Shakespeare and Lady Mysa call him at the end to give him good news about their research into his power loss.
Thunder. A now-teenaged Thunder finds the reassembled Rock of Eternity in her native time. The Wizard gives her knowledge of the Legion's present and near future, and sends her back in time to the 31st century.
Spark. Spark's old friends Hegga and Megga, Garla and Lando (from Legends of the Legion 2) prepare to visit Legion World. Young Winathians are now more accepting of differences between twins, with several pairs of twins choosing to follow different careers.
Kid Quantum I. Current Legionnaire Polar Boy tells his former Substitute Heroes teammates about Kid Quantum I, and explains that the Legion Cadet program is purposely long in order to avoid deaths like James'. His former teammates are revealed to be Night Girl, Fire Lad, Chlorophyll Kid, Stone Boy, Color Kid and Rainbow Girl.
Star Boy. Legionnaires Particon, Babbage and Lume join Atmos, Insect Queen and Radion on a mission to make Xanthu fertile again. Radion refuses Particon's offer to join the Legion. Particon recalls Star Boy's unbridled optimism and leadership in the efforts to rehabilitate Xanthu.
Ferro. Dennis, the boy Ferro, Element Lad and Star Boy saved in Legionnaires 67, visits Legion World and remembers how Ferro inspired him to stand up for himself.
Chameleon. It is Officer Neep's first day as a Science Police officer on Earth. Though many officers are still wary, attitudes have changed enough that Officer Neep finds acceptance among the populace and even from Commander Hagbard.
Wildfire. Dirk and Derek Morgna have been using a sample of Wildfire's anti-energy to develop new medical technologies and techniques. They successfully modified the energy so it could continually draw on other energy sources. Wildfire had donated this amount of energy despite the revelation that his imprisonment on Qward (Legion 34) had drained him so much that his energy was now finite.
Triad. The Divided Trinity, a Carggite movement to stop the systematic discrimination against Carggites with differences among their selves, addresses the Carggite public. It is revealed that several prominent Carggites have been hiding their differences out of fear of persecution. Triad was instrumental in starting the movement. Also, the Carggites whom Ra's al Ghul had kidnapped have returned home. The ones coping the best are those who had differences among their selves.
Credits to Reboot, Omni and razsolo whose input I used to refine the description of Carggites differences.
Andromeda. Daxamite Ambassador Obin Der addresses several Daxamites who wish to emigrate. Although most Daxamites did not subscribe to the fanatical, violent beliefs of the White Triangle, most are still wary of offworlders due to fear. All Daxamites who go offworld are now required to wear a red sunlight armband which severely limits their powers, but leaves enough to allow them to defend themselves against attackers. Each Daxamite who wears the armband will be limited to peak Earth-human strength and reflexes.
Cosmic Boy. Magnetic Kid, Blizzard (Polar Boy's new codename) and Lume attend the opening of the Second Galactic Youth Games. Cosmic Boy had started the games as a way to promote unity and fellowship among UP worlds.
Superboy. RJ Brande visits the Hall of Heroes on Legion World, and reflects on Superboy's time with the Legion. Historical records reveal that Superboy was able to return to his own time and fulfill his role in history.
Saturn Girl. The Legion launches a new module in the VR Room, which allows trainees to measure their power output against different types of heroes. This was Saturn Girl's initiative, and emphasizes control of powers. Legion cadets include former Substitute Heroes Night Girl, Stone Boy, Fire Lad, Chlorophyll Kid, Color Kid, Porcupine Pete and Rainbow Girl; Amp (formerly Amp Girl), Retro, Comet Queen, Lamprey, Arachno (from the same race as Tangleweb), Yera Liggle of Durla, Sizzle, Flying Fox, Zaron Lux, Calorie Queen, Density (Jed Rikane), Gravity (Tel Vole), Dragonwing, Mandalla, Tellus, Mentalla, Tomb and Splitter. Vapor (Gas Girl) is also present, sent by Lallor for advanced training. There are more than 25 cadets in all. The post also reveals that Infectious Lass was once a Substitute.
Sensor. Tenzil Kem caters for a UP Summit on Orando. Marla Latham helps Orando's King Charlz (Sensor's father) prepare a speech highlighting Orando's granting of equal rights to the raccoon species. Leejah, new leader of Durla and a former Composite Durlan, reveals that her Durlan shapeshifting powers are returning, though she still cannot mimic the powers of the forms she takes.
Live Wire. Jancel Ardeen, now a Titanet cadet, tries to seduce Mekt Ranzz mentally while he sleeps. Mekt calls up memories of his rehabilitation, and of his improved relationship with his family and siblings before their disappearance. A stunned Jancel recalls that her sister Imra had tried to reach out to her, but Jancel had furiously turned her away. Jancel cuts off the telepathy as she is forced to question her own actions, while Mekt returns to sleep missing his siblings, but happy that he has worked through his own issues.
Element Lad. RJ Brande, Chuck Taine and Shvaughn Erin visit Trom to remember the Legion and Element Lad. RJ recalls the Legion's untold mission shortly after the President Chu sting and the first defeat of the Fatal Five (this would have been shortly after LSH 80 but before the end of Legionnaires 37). The Legion, plus Andromeda and Micah Aven and supported by UP Fleet Admiral Everett, tracks down and incarcerates the last of the White Triangle leadership. Through intelligent teamwork and use of powers, the Legionnaires manage to defeat four fully-powered Daxamites. This strategy was formulated in large part by Element Lad, who wanted to avoid using his powers to give the Daxamites lead poisoning as there was no guarantee that Brainiac 5 could cure the poisoned Daxamites in time.
Chuck Taine is able to control his ship, the Bouncing Boy, remotely through a special visor.
The Element Lad post ends with several of the Legion's supporting cast members (Dyrk Magz, Marla Latham, Tenzil Kem, Lori Morning, Rond Vidar, Dr. Ryk'rr, Dr. Gym'll, Dirk Morgna, Winema Wazzo and Cub Wazzo-Nah, Gigi Cusimano, Hannah Wells, Condo Arlik) as well as the new Legionnaires (White Witch, Spider-Girl, Nightwind, Infectious Lass, Blizzard, Particon, Impulse, Babbage, Magnetic Kid, Lume) joining in for the memorial. The group sits on Trom well into the night to tell stories about the Legion.
I've been having a lot of fun writing about the continuing adventures of the Postboot Legion. At first, I had just intended to write one-off vignettes for each Legionnaire, showing the impact they had on their reality beyond fighting villains.
