Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine Who Wants to Be a Superhero? - Season Two Begins 7/26

i wonder if Darkhorse is gonna publish all the other covers? i really liked major Victory's cover, was not too impressed with Fat mamma's cover. i know it's nitpicking but they could've gotten her hair do right, she doesn't have dreads, her hair is braided, and they made her look a little too much like Amanda waller.

I'm happy for Feedback, since he wanted it the most. It's been a fun ride watching the show.

When is the comic supposed to appear? My daughter wants to get it.

Thankie

So did the comic come out? Was it any good?

Just did a little link hopping from Feedback's myspace page and ended up at his site, then Dark Horse... The comic\'s release has actually been pushed back to January 17th.

I'd almost forgotten about this, though, so glad this topic popped up. I loved the show and Feedback was my favorite, so I don't want to miss the comic once it is out.

Season two starts July 26 with eight episodes and ten contestants. Comics Continuum has the break down on the new heroes but I'm adding it here too. Seems to be a couple of Legion wannabes included. Can you spot them?

Basura (aka Aja De Coudreaux / Oakland) enlists the help of all bugs everywhere and uses her mystical powers to turn trash into treasures.

Braid (aka Crystal Clark / Bloomington, Ill.) makes herself any age, race, or gender and can turn her hair into crime-busting tentacles.

The Defuser (aka Jarrett Crippen / Austin, Texas) is an expert paramilitary superhero who uses non-violent weaponry to stop villains. He has the unique ability to function at 110 percent.

Hygena (aka Melody Mooney / Sherman Oaks, Calif.) fights crime and grime making weapons from all types of cleaning utensils.

Hyper-Strike (aka John Stork / Plainfield, Vt. and Chicago) is a martial arts expert with super strength and agility and he can project his Chi (life force) through his hands.

Mindset (aka Phillip Allen / Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) is a telekinetic time traveler on a mission to end all war. Originally named Omnicron, Mindset is the viewers' choice on the show winning his place by Internet voters earlier this year.

Mr. Mitzvah (aka "Sir Ivan" Wilzig / Miami, Fla. and New York City) is a real-life Bruce Wayne who lives in a castle, this multi-millionaire's mission, under the guise of Mr. Mitzvah, is to save the lives of children.

Ms. Limelight (aka Trisha Paytas / Byron, Ill. and Los Angeles) is a captivating blonde caped-crusader absorbs the powers of action stars on TV and in movies.

Parthenon (aka Dan Williams / Orlando, Fla.) is an archaeologist who gets his mystical powers from an ancient gauntlet he discovered in Greece

Whip-Snap (aka Paula Thomas / Dallas, TX and Los Angeles), raised in Texas, this superhero has a mastery of the whip and if her bare skin touches a villain that villain is turned into sand.

Here's a pic of the group with The Man.

Mindset plays City of Heroes. He posted about it on the forums.

Just out of curiousity, did anything ever happen with last year's winner?

The comic now has a release date of July 4 and I think he's made one or two specials and a movie for the Sci-Fi network. Not sure if his movie has been shown yet or not though.

The top three were at Motor City Comic Con this year. It was a good thing I happened to check my newspaper's Web site. We ran an online photo gallery, and the photographer referred to Fat Momma as Fat Woman.

I saw Feedback's comic finally get solicited for sometime this summer, too. At this rate, you'd think the "Wonder Woman" guy was writing it.

I wonder if Major Victory's had any luck reconciling with his daughter or not.

As far as I know he has. He posted a video of her graduation on his MySpace.

Don't forget, the new season starts tonight!

*edited to add*

Feedback revealed in a MySpace bulletin that his movie called Megasnake is scheduled to be on August 25th.

Personally I feel like this season's cast is a little weak. None of them grabbed me like some of the first season's did.

I liked Ms.Limelight. Parthenon and Hyper-Strike were cute. I also like Whip-Snap because of how she hurt herself yet continued on and then blamed herself for the team not finishing its task. I also like how The Defuser gave her the pep talk. He definitely has leadership skill and seems like the one there who really wants to be a hero. But I think he gets eliminated next. The reason: on the Who Wants to be a Superhero site, he is the only one (aside from Braid) who doesn't have a new costume. Although looking at all the others too, Hyper-strike doesn't seem to have a new costume.

Er, Quislet no offense but I don't think you were watching the show that closely because everyone seems to have an at least slightly updated costume on the Scifi's site except maybe Defuser. His pics make it hard to tell. They gave makeovers to nearly everyone's costumes last year as well to hide who would be eliminated.

Saw tonight's show.

On the other hand ...

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">You can't tell me that Lumina (or whatever her name is) deserved to stay there more than he did. </span></span>

And ...

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Last year, he got on Tyveculus for pretending to like a costume he hated. This year he gets on Hyperstrike for being honest about a costume he doesn't think suits him?!</span></span>

I'm going to keep watching at least for a little while longer, but I don't think that this season is as good as last season.

You forgot to mention that Stan called this group a "true Legion of Super-Heroes". But even that line wasn't enough to make me watch the rest of the season. I'll probably pass on the rest.

I was proven wrong about the costumes.

I think Mindset was a bit of an ass and not so smart. It was fairly obvious that they needed to complete the spelling bee before getting out. It wasn't like they had any other choice.

I think this season they are trying to make the challenges a bit more comic bookesque. And for the new costumes, you do have to say "Thanks Stan. It's great." whether you mean it or not and never let him know you didn't mean it.

I'll probably keep watching because nothing else is on.

I'm gonna get to meet Fat Momma at Wizard World Chicago. I can't wait!

Also here's a Season 2 based website y'all might want to check out:

I loved Fat Momma. I think Hygena is trynig to fill that slot in this season.

the lady playing Ms.Limelight i remember seeing her on an episode of the Greg Behrendt show. she was on it to get a "make over" and now she wants to be a Superhero? *slaps head* OYYY!!!!
