CosmicBoy Great, GREAT ideas, Firebow! I especially liked Blue & Gold as Brande & Latham!

Hey, I found my old text from the first time this thread came up on the old DCMB. I've updated it a bit


My Dream Legion would retain the L-stripe look, but with greater variation. The belts would lose the bulky packs (that’s SO early 90s) in favor of one or two more futuristic ones -- something a bit more like a pocket dimension storage system. The belt would form-fit and the buckle would be smaller, oval, with the Legion Lost L-star.


Chameleon: as “pope” of his people, he becomes effective co-chaplain of the Legion. He DOES NOT STRETCH. He morphs his whole molecular structure into specific forms, complete with weaker versions of powers of such (if those powers are physiological in nature). I like the Kitson costume, so he'd "wear" that.
Cosmic Boy: Same as reboot Cos, with similar costume.
Brainiac 5: Basically identical to DnA’s B5, but with a touch more sarcasm. He’d have an unrequited crush on Legion reservist Laurel Gand.
Dawnstar: This dark-skinned, grey-winged beauty is an interstellar bounty hunter. Dressing in garb common to her nature-loving world, she is a peerless hunter yet compassionate to a fault. She will always bring her fugitive in alive. More of a reserve specialist than a full member, as she continues to run her side business. A bit of an anachronism among the Legion.
Element Lad: Reboot costume. A little less spiritual, a lot less flaky. Basically, the hero we saw save the Lost Legion. Close to Vi.
Ferro Lad: SW6 daredevil with reboot version’s costume and compassion. Starts out as an ex-White Triangle member outcast from his family and sect due to his disfigurement. He'd be black. One of the most popular Legionnaires.
Flash: Same Jenni we know and love, except she’d wear the Flash colors and insignia.
Gates: Same bug, similar politics, but way more positive about it. Like a hippie. smile
Invisible Kid: Personality, background and costume of reboot Lyle Norg. Appearance, name and powers of Jacques Foccart. Leader of the Espionage Squad.
Kid Quantum: Similar hottie, but with her brother’s specific power to create localized stasis fields. Y'know, like an effective Light Lass. Also wears his costume; no butt-floss here.
Colossal Boy: Reboot drill sergeant version, but he needs a totally redesigned costume.
. After a spectacularly disastrous relationship with reforming villain Kinetix (Zoe Saugin becoming wanted by the SP for violating several archeological artifact removal laws), develops a deep love for Salu Digby, which he discovers is SO totally requited. The Legion’s sweetest romance ensues. This could work for WnK's "Micro Lad," too.
Light Lass: Originally having same powers as her bro, she’d now be like the Superboy’s Legion Ayla (with costume), having light projection powers. In contact with her brother, she can use her original lightning powers.
Live Wire: A mature Garth is Legion leader, wearing his Sprouse costume. Engaged to Saturn Girl.
Lone Wolf: Though not exactly alone, Brin would hold his cooler code name, having become an outcast from the Rimborian Wolf gang. His powers would emphasize strength, skill and agility over ferality. But he’d have claws that can nick a Daxamite’s hide, if it comes to that. He'd resemble the less-furry preboot version more but wear the reboot suit in preboot colors.
Mon-el: aka, Valor, revered as a saint (but not a messiah-deity) in the 30th Century version of the Christian faith. He adopts the Mon-El name in honor of his 20th century friend Kon-El, Superboy. His costume is a simplified M'onel version. He does not like Shadow Lass at all.
Phantom Girl: wears a new costume (cross between v3 classic and reboot), far less co-dependent with Jo, wears v3 pigtails. No Cub.
Saturn Girl: Regarded as "ice queen, iron butt," only Garth and Cos really like her. She wears the reboot outfit.
Sensor: "Serpentoid illusionist with extrasensory powers. Maintains powerful permanent illusion of herself as white-haired humanoid (even when unconscious) until powers are damped and the truth is known. Val Armorr, ally of the Legion (but not member) promptly throws up."
That's what I wrote back in 2001. Now I'd have her just be a white-haired humanoid. Her powers would be a bit more Sensor Girl than Projectra. Her costume would be a more modest version of the domme outfit.
Shadow Lass: Reboot Tasmia. Though interested in Monel, she has drawn close to Brainy, as she likes to be with other elitists. Plus the two pine together over their unattainable Daxamite crushes (she likes Mon-El, who dislikes her). She wears the Moy-designed costume, wears the Coipel hairdo.
Star Boy: the DnA version, gravity powers and all, plus the beginnings of a beard. He and Nura are engaged. No power malfunctions.
Sun Boy: toned-down SW6 jerk version with updated version of classic outfit.
Superboy: a mentally mature Kon-El, despairing of 21st Century life for a time, travels to the future for a long stint with the Legion. His costume would be a variation of the classic, updated to match the 31st century.

Triad: I like the Coipel costume. She'd be the primo martial artist behind Val. Telepathy between her bodies and longer range of triplication effectively makes her a minor teleporter.
Ultra Boy: See early Waid-written streetwise reboot version, except enjoying happy new marriage to Tinya. Can “split” Ultra-energy between powers, but at great cost to power level (ex: normal Daxamite-level strength is cut to, say, Spider-Man’s level if he uses invulnerability with it. Or vice-versa: his invulnerability is limited to the level of "toughening" his strengthened muscles take. I personally think his powers already work this way, but I’d make it official).
Valor Girl: Legion reservist Laurel Gand. This former Daxamite nun is the Legion’s co-chaplain. She operates mostly as a lone hero, going on mercy missions. Also a former White Triangle member long before her Legion stint. Wears the Valor Girl outfit.
Violet: shy, silent, but strong in the mold of the reboot Vi. She begins to bloom quietly along with XS, eventually even growing so bold enough to trade her Sprouse suit for an updated, purple version of the Grell outfit. She falls for Gim Allon.
Wildfire: Coipel costume, but w/o any sexual urges thanx to lack of hormones. Close to Gim due to his own drill sergeant tendencies.

ALLIES and support
Chuck Taine: For extreme emergencies, will go into action with his Lyle-modified version of B5’s force field belt that allows him to rebound from impacts.
Nura Nal: the DnA version, beautiful and creepy. She has declined her role as heir to the High Seer post, instead drawing near the Legion and her beloved Thom Kallor.
Val Armorr: Declines full Legion membership, but stays on staff as special combat trainer. Develops an insistent crush on Sensor.

This is a pretty interesting thread, and I wonder if any of our newer members might want to post in it.

Jeepers! I can't believe I've never contributed to this thread! I'll have to give it some thought.

Ohmigawd!

Here goes -

Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy as founders.

Phantom Girl, Triad, Colossal Boy, Chameleon, Sun Boy, Brainiac 5, a blonde Amazon warrior - Wonder Girl, Nemesis Kid, Kid Quantum (Jas not James, but with just the 'statis' field power) and Invisible Kid join next.

Word starts to spread and more meta-kids from through out the galaxy start to show interest. Rene J Brande, a wealthy industrialist sponsors a Legion Try-Out, promising to pay for three months training in a wide range of subjects - galactic law, self defence, negotiation technique, hard vacuum combat techniques, basic weapon and flight control, battle medicine etc - for the top six finalists, practically guaranteeing them places in the Legion. He is overcome by the response and ends up sponsoring twenty two of them. Two drop out during the training - Spider Girl and Radiation Lad.

Laurel Kent, Karate Kid, Star Boy, Dreamer, Gates, Quislet, Tellus, Shadow Lass, Blok, Tyroc, Dawnstar, Wildfire, Polar Boy, Night Wind, Computo (the computer, not Danielle), Shrinking Violet, Timber Wolf, Element Lad, a Gil Dish'pan green lantern, and Sensor are next in, really starting to show some of the racial tolerance that the Legion preaches.

The Academy opens properly, admiting a further 50 students, all very kindly sponsored by R J Brande.

Where we stand right now is the latest large influx of members are starting to find their feet, alliances have been made and there seems to be a few concerns being raised about the cohesion of the group as rumours are being spread about a traitor within the group.


Legion Worlds NINE - wait, there's even more ongoing amazing adventures? Yup, and you'll only find them in the Bits o' Legionnaire Business Forum.
