Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Every 10 Years Forum Your Legion Tryout!

-inspired by Lash's American Idol audition thread Thanks Lash!-

So the Legion is holding tryouts this week on Earth and for some strange reason you just happen to be on Earth this week too! You've longed for the chance to join the Legion and you're going to jump at the opportunity to show your stuff. You get one big chance to impress somebody among the Legion judges and hopefully make it to the next phase...what are you going to do?

Do you intercept radio waves somehow? Can you explode part of your anatomy? Can you teleport twinkies out of the cupboard? Remember that in the Silver Age anybody could audition and a few even faked it to try to get in. So what wierdo thing that you can do (without obvious mechanical assistance) might possibly qualify as a unique superpower?

I practically patented magic, LET ME IN!!!

I keep a good poker face. Criminals wouldn't know what I was thinking, thereby making it easier to deceive and defeat them.

So am I in, or do I get the complimentary flight belt, with insult?

Hey, if a guy that looks like a giant bulldog can make it through the first round and hang out with Andromeda then I don't see why you two couldn't.

At least you don't turn into a rock like Stone Boy. I mean really, what good is he when you don't need an emergency paperweight?

Stop in at the academy and pick up your shower shoes, bedding and a personalized fluffy terri-cloth bathrobe.
..oh yeah, and a flight belt.

Next!

They said my super-power was more useless than Double-Header's.

But they asked me to write for the Outpost.

The editor's name is Wally West XI. Codename: NewsFlash.

Thank you, all, for your participation and enthusiasm.

I am presenting to you these souvenir flight belts to you as a parting gift.

Allow me, Kent.

"Rejected! It has *not* been a pleasure meeting you!"

I'm old school

ha ha ha

Now you see why we don't normally let Cobie in as a judge at the tryouts... but then again Cobie is a pussycat compared to the Persuader!

Next!

I cannot or will not be undersold.

Cool! Low low retail pricing is a better power than bouncing!
You're in! Here's your flight belt.

Yeah, but "WalMartMan" doesn't have, well, that ring of savoir-faire to it, y'know?

I am Bear Boy and my super-power is the mega-hug

I have a mystery power that I might use one day and you just have to take my word for it.

You let my sister in, I demand ACCEPTANCE!

It's the Silver Age. They believed *everybody*.

You're in.

Hey, I like her so far, the 'tude space-rocks.

Now let's see some power. Show us the juice!

I remember when Lardy rejected Snowman Lad in such a mean way that he went on to join the original LOMBSV and tried to send us all to an icey death!

Good times...

Did you ever fight a villain you *weren't* partially responsible for creating?

Now that Im in I hope nobody is secretly leaking gas in the club house.

Hm...

Do women who I've spurned count? Because the mothers of my children have almost always been as viscious as the children themselves!

Does that mean no more Sonic Burgers for Pov?

What, you little pest, I am the Queen of Camelot.

<hands glow orange as she magically picks up Yellow King and thrusts him to the wall>

Living so faraway and always arriving late to every conversation, I can confuse and bamboozle everyone, the villains will think they need to repeat what they have already done thus running smack bang into the SP investigating the scene of the crime.

So am I in?

You missed the cutoff.

I know but am I in?
