My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way. Cobalt, Reboot & iB present 21st Century Legion: Earth War .

The third Kid Quantum (the one we have now...or had last month anyway) got major screen time in the new series. James had just been retconned as a dead/faked-his-own-death Legionnaire in the old Legion and immediately became a Legionnaire in the reboot only to be the first to buy it in action. Jasmin took the name as a legacy hero and became Legion Leader in just a few years (comic book time). That's quite a bounce in rank and social status for the Cullins clan.

I'll always love preboot Luornu, but postboot she just became such a fun, interesting character. The same for me could be said for Invisible Kid. Another character that didn't get too much of a chance for major personality before leaving the lore, but that's more than been made up for the past ten years.

It was a stroke of brilliance making him a renegade Durlan...it sure beat the heck out of the janitor-accidentally-spills-something-and-becomes-a-supervillian cliche'.

We got to see her go from complete ditz, to really being tested to the max in the Robotica war, to becoming more fluent and versatile with her power than old Nura was ever written. The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

I also enjoyed the early running gag about his imperfect command of Interlac, which was later revealed to have been exaggerated as part of the behind the scenes "sting" to take out President Chu. If only more creativity had been applied to the use of his powers. He was depicted using his powers to simply stretch much to often.
