Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Ideas for Elseworlds

We could also do an alternate Earth where the heroes of the Silver Age had kids in the 1980s/90s, and some of them are active heroes today. I had an idea for a set of twins (maybe it was quadruplets? It wasn't the most original idea) for the JSA . One of them was going to revealed be the daughter of Earth-1's Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris, and connected to the Violet Spectrum.

Yeah, I love that idea. We had an Earth-1 Infinity Inc thread a few years back which was along similar lines.

CHALLENGE OF THE FOUR

The Pitch: Mash up Earth-X (Quality characters,) Earth-4 (Charlton characters,) and Earth-Whatever (Watchmen.) Then recast Blue Beetle (Kord,) Nightshade, Captain Atom, and Thunderbolt as a sort of darker, weirder Challengers of the Unknown (or, if you'd prefer, Fantastic Four analogs -- Kirby by any other name, bla bla bla…)

The Plot: In 1938 came the Minutemen. In 1960 came the New Wave of Minutemen, which was actually a commercially calculated effort by the remaining Minutemen to milk extra money out of their children and/or proteges by casting them in legacy hero roles. In 1968, the 2nd Blue Beetle rebelled and put together his own motley crew, the Challengers. Finally, in 1976, Uncle Sam himself gathered a group of angry young people to form the Freedom Fighters (Quality characters recast as X-Men/Teen Titans analogs.) Now, it's 1984, and the combustible combination of these various super-powers will either save the world or doom it to irreparable destruction.

I wasn't sure where to put this so here's the list of the different Legion counterparts I've tried to come up with for the current 52 Multiverse.

Earth-3: THE CARTEL OF SUPER-CRIMINALS, which was destroyed alongside the rest of Earth-3 thanks to the Anti-Monitor.
