Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! LAST ROUND!!!! ACTION, Reboot or Threeboot? Ends Tuesday, 8/19

I vote for Threeboot Tinya. Making her the resident history buff gives her a level of braininess she has been lacking before; however, I must agree that her Silver and Bronze Age characterizations have a lot to recommend them as well.

Another Threeboot vote for me, too. She seems the most level headed of all the three-booters.

Also, I didn't know the original enough to make a call based on her personality, and I couldn't stand the reboot version (waaaaay to co-dependent. Jo too, for that matter).

Yeah, liking the threeboot Tinya better than the rest, since she feels more developed here than in previous boots where she was defined more by her relationship with Jo (IMO).

Also agree that the 'in two places at once' thing was a logistical nightmare, even if it seemed like a neat twist. Does that mean that if there happened to be a building in Bgztl where she wanted to walk through the wall, she's stuck using the door?

Kinda a crappy power, since there would be *tons* of places where there was a building / wall / landmass / random bystander who won't move in both worlds, leaving random places where her 'power' wouldn't allow her to phase, since no matter where she went, there would be a solid in her way...

Tinya: Well, another easy decision from me: Classic all the way. And I'm not even a fan of the pigtails and bellbottoms. But the other two versions have huge problems that I just can't ignore: the Carggite thing in the Reboot, and the half-here-half-there thing in Threeboot (I really can't see how anybody could function properly like that!!!). Having said that, my favorite version of Tinya is that of the EARLY reboot. And she has never been drawn more beatifully than by Olivier Coipel (sadly in all too few occasions).

I wasn't a fan of where they went with reboot Tinya, and while I loved Classic Tinya, Threeboot Tinya manages to keep pretty much all of the positives of the Classic while still adding more to the character. I'd still like to see her get with Jo eventually, but at least we know this Tinya will be independant enough to not be defined by her relationship.

Threeboot.

Threeboot, but I liked Phase better.

I'm gonna go against the grain and take Apparition. I just feel like I know her the best, insecurities and all.

<shame on those of you taking half one & half the other for one character--do we have a wishy-washy smiley? >

I like all Tinyas. She's always been a fave.

I'll choose Action/Classic.

I missed the Garth round, so I'll choose Threeboot for him.

Phantom Girl, eh? This might have been a tossup between Classic and Reboot (I dont feel I know 3boot Tinya well enough to even consider her) except for ONE thing...

L.E.G.I.O.N.

Oh, I already hear you-- "But dumbass, that wasn't Tinya in L.E.G.I.O.N., that was her cousin Enya!" And to you I say: BALDERCRAP! I don't care what DC printed, Phase was Tinya and that's all there is to it. What DC printed, the whole Enya thing, was some kinda Zero-Hour abberration. Enya? More like Enya FACE!

L.E.G.I.O.N. tips the balance to CLASSIC Phantom Girl. Enya can go join Gymma Wazzo on the planet of forgotten Phantom Girl relatives.

Or did they reboot that into Tinya being a Carggite, explaining Phase? Ugggh.

CLASSIC, definitely.

TRIPLICATE GIRL/DUO DAMSEL/TRIAD-- Action, Reboot or Threeboot?

I'm going to pick Reboot. I don't find the Threeboot Lu likeable at all, even though her origin is pretty interesting. Action Lu has a lot to live up to; unfortunately, much of it involves the character's decimation (trimation?) as killing off a Lu has become almost as sporting as offing a Karate Kid. [Meaning- cut it out, DC!]

I actually think all available Luornus are going to merge, something possible for other Legionnaires, too. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's a Septagonal Lass by the end of LTW, given the 'wait till you see what happens to *her*' comment from the Batman/Lightning Lad issue of ACTION. Will that be permanent? Who knows?

You know, this is one thing that I would love to know the editorial decision about. I got the impression that when Reboot Tinya was deep fried, the intent was to bring her back (even though I thought this was personally a crappy decision from a dramatic storytelling perspective).

But given that the Carggite angle had repercussions, not all of which have even been dealt with, it seemed an odd way to go with it.

Reboot kicked major nass.

Sorry for coming in late to the game, but I spotted this thread and had to toss my two cents in. Apologies.

Cos - Reboot. After that, Classic. Everyone's pretty much said it for me already.

Imra - Classic. I got tired of her fluctuating power level pretty quickly in reboot, and I'm not the biggest fan (read: at all) of Threeboot.

Garth - Reboot hands down. In all other continuities, he's either a jarkbag or way to vanilla.

Phantom Girl - Honestly? I hate to say this given my previous statement, but Threeboot. Take her away from Jo and you get a character I actually give a damn about. Who knew?

Triad - Reboot. Three girls. God-knows how many mental problems.

Are we going in order of membership? That is just great! Sadly though, it's gonna be a hot second before we get to my faves....

Though I missed most of the Reboot, I kinda like the Reboot Triad concept, so I vote for Reboot Luornu.

Tinya's Threeboot re-imagining was a big miss, IMO. Lu's was not. I just love the thought that one of the weakest members of the legion, may turn out to be the strongest one. A planet full of Lu's, all of which have the potential to merge into one, that's pretty cool, in my book. Not to mention the potential that is there to tell nice stories. Also: Classic Lu has been... decimated. Reboot Triad would be OK, but I dislike her constant bickering.

Lu: Threeboot, hands down.

What I'd like to see happen is the Legion from Action Comics somehow get de-aged a bit (maybe to about 19 or 20 years of age) --

or get "retconned" back to the time somewhere around the end of the Levitz/Giffen run (or maybe even earlier).

Probably won't happen, but I do like the Action Comics Legion -- I just think they are a bit too old and haggard now.

Definitely Triad of the Reboot people! They just reimagined her so perfectly and put her front and center like she'd never been before. Unforgettable!

<Damn, I'm really liking the Reboot in my choices so far, eh?>

I think 3boots origins for both Lu and Tinya are horrible. Classic Lu is bland especially with the death of her bodies.

I'll go with
Reboot for Lu, since she was one of the core of that team
and...
I'd like to say Animation for Tinya, but that's not a choice. Reboot as well for her, since she was great in Lost.

Reboot Triad......Tri-jitsu!! almost the Legion founder...kind of....because she was the one who brought Imra, Rokk, and Garth together by the order of RJ.....very resourceful....funny...adorable...what more can you say? I loved her all the way!

EXCEPT that it was the animated Lu that won me over. (I know that it does not count the vote....)

Reboot Triad. Popular choice. I think of her as the definitive Lu.

Catching up...

I could almost go for the threeboot Garth, but the way he explained threeboot Mekt was just silly. And reboot Garth was just too consumed with Imra. So, I'll go with classic again.

I will go with the threeboot Tinya. She does have more non-Jo-centric personality than the classic one ever did. Plus, she doesn't have a mom who gets about as much panel time as does Tinya herself. I can ignore her origin issues.

Back to classic for Triplicate Girl. The threeboot version has been too much of a Cosmic-Boy puppet. And the reboot version always seemed to be trying to compensate for triplicating not being a super-cool super-power. Not necessarily having super-cool super-powers is something I've always enjoyed about the legion. Plus the classic Luornu potentially brings ties to Bouncing Boy--one legionnaire woefully underutilized in any other version.

Threeboot Lu. I like the whole sexy appeal W&K added to her origin. Probably my favorite reinterpretation from W&K, because it added a more mature aspect to an otherwise bland two-dimensional team (saved by Shooter).

Cosmic Boy: Threeboot

Saturn Girl: Reboot

Garth: Threeboot (Prefer the name Lightning Lad, regardless)

Tinya: Threeboot

Lu: Reboot (Triad, regardless)
