From the following list of Legionnaires, pick your top ten all-time favorites!
For the purposes of this poll, I haven't distinguished preboot/postboot versions, and have only used Legionnaires whose membership has actually been depicted in a published main-line continuity (so, I've left out people who were only members during the Five-Year Gap or in altenate realities/possible futures). Plus I've left out folks that were members only on a temporary basis (such as the Khund Legionnaires) or joined under false pretences.

Sorry that a few of them ended up out of order! Don't forget the folks at the bottom of the page, and I hope I haven't forgot anyone!
Have fun, folks!

Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

Gim unfortunately NEVER does well in these things.
Interesting things to note... Wildfire is doing better than usual (he's popular, but not usually as close to the top as he is here), and Ferro is doing incredibly well, also. My theory is that these two are normally dragged down by their postboot versions when I do a "favorite current Legionnaire" poll.

I voted for both Ferro and WILDFIRE and in terms of Ferro, I'm definitely voting for him based on preboot and SW6 and even the Mordru-verse Andy Nolan!
I'd have voted for Wildfire anyway since I like how he's being depicted by DnA. If only it weren't for that shitty new origin...
(y'know, it just occured to me I wasn't sure if cussin' was allowed here -- I don't remember seeing any here so far. I guess there are plenty of proper members in this forum)

Doops! Didn't realise we had to pick _ten_ Legionnaires, instead of just one. There any way to get my vote back? (

THAT'S one of the problems with these automated polls, no way of taking into account people who undervote.
I suppose you could register with an alternate ID and cast your other 9 votes?

I can't believe nobody's voting for Magnetic Kid!
Poor bastard gets stuck with his brother's hand-me-down uniform and then perhaps the most pathetic Legion death since Leeta 87. The whole thing could have been avoided if the Teachers of Zerox weren't too cheap to spring for key-less entry...

Not to mention a really sad case of trying to get out of his brothers shadow.

It's funny how maligned Saturn Girl is for being a spotlight-hog, and yet she's currently #2.

Urk. Don't want my chads turning up anywhere they're not supposed to... We'd probably see Daddy's Boy or Bush Lad turn up as the winner - with well under 50% of the votes.

Interesting to note that my favourite's the only one to have a majority of the votes to date [55% as I type] Oh - and I notice you've misspelt Jeka's name [ONE "k"] Other thing of note: the twins are tied

More stats: B5's still the only one with a majority of the votes cast Ayla's edged ahead of Garth Shikari's beating Dawnstar At the moment the top 10 (well, 11 since the 10th place is tied...) are: 1. Brainiac 5 2= Dream Girl/Dreamer 2= Invisible Kid (Lyle) 2= Shady/Umbra 2= Wildfire 6. Saturn Girl 7= Cosmic Boy 7= Gates 7= Ultra Boy 10= Triad/TG/DD 10= Starboy

I'm very surprised that Brainy is so far in the lead, but perhaps even more surprise that there's such a close race for second. There's usually a much more defined set of levels at this point...

There's usually a much more defined set of levels at this point... I think some of the previous polls included weighted votes that took into consideration how high up a character is on eaach person's list. Here, anyone on the top ten gets one vote, so it's a little less clear I guess.

Nice to see Star Boy doing so well. I always thought he was the most overlooked Legionnaire, at least pre-boot.
Touch the magic...

I'd like to try to get seven more votes for an even 50 before closing this down, so if you haven't voted yet, please do so!

I'm pleasantly surprised to see INFECTIOUS LASS draw a solid handful of votes since her only appearances as an actual (?) member were during the much-maligned TMK/Legion on the Run era....

Could a last minute surge knock the current leader off the top? I'm a bit surprised at who's in second place...

Well, look at it this way, maybe he was *eleventh* on everyone's list -- and if we were allowed 11 votes for this poll, he would've come in at #1 with the most total votes!

Well, EDE, you got your 50! And I'm not surprised who won. I did that same Poll twice back way at DCMB, and Brainiac 5 won handily in each of those. We all realize his utility for writers and therefore his frequency of appearance, but my theory about his popularity is that with a 5 choice pick (my polls were that also,) he's going to get chosen on many lists as the 4th ot 5th pick, like "oh, sure, gotta have him too." I think it would be great to run a hands-down no foolin' around one vote Poll for favorite Legionnaire. I bet he wouldn't make the top ten! Serious. One of us will have to do this in a few weeks or so. It will be fascinating to see who everyone picks when they have to actually select only their favorite Legionnaire. Good job!

I am quite interested on what effect the number of selections given has on who gets votes. In the last "Current Legionnaire" poll I conducted, Chameleon didn't garner a single vote, though he did somewhat better in this one. I'm willing to bet he makes a LOT more top ten lists than top five lists, as he seems a pretty major Legion character, but not many seem to consider him their favorite.

Kip prime has that "25 Legionnaires" thread going on now with weighted votes, so that should be more telling than this current poll.
