Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Levitz and New Legionnaires...

So what do you want to see?

More chicks? More aliens? More supporting characters made Legionnaires?

I'd love to see Visi-Lad on the team!

This will surprise no one, but INFECTIOUS LASS!

Some racial diversity please! Re-enter a new Dragonmage?

Kent Shakespeare, where is he?

I know nothing about Dragonmage, but his visual is interesting, so I'd definitely like to see him.

I would prefer that any new character introduced have well-defined powers (we readers don't need to know how they work, but I don't want another Chemical King, White Witch, Kid Quantum deal where the character is used inconsistently, because the *writers* don't know how the heck their powers work!).

I want to know what happened to Theena. But, among the new Legionnaires I'd like Levitz to write...

BRING BACK MONSTRESS!

I want to see the new Lantern, for sure.

I'd like more real aliens.
I'd have Lightle design a couple, actually, because I have always enjoyed Tellus and Quislet.
Lume was one of my favorites, in Legionnaires, even if he/she/it just turned up for a panel or two.

I think there should be a Sizzler in this continuity and please, find Gates some people of his own.
I'd like to see a Shikari, nomad group, too.
Just because we have a Dawnstar and Starhaven, doesn't mean we can't have a Shikari and nomad people from another galaxy.

This is an older Legion, they seem to be all in their 20s or so. I wonder if a teenager or two could join the team. Has the Academy bit the dust?

There are many eligible characters from the past, but I'd like to see somebody totally new.

An alien would be good, especially if they have to have this xenophobia thing. Although that might make it worse, the alien becoming a focal point for xenophobia stories! Nothing too weird like the sentient cloud in R.E.B.E.L.S., which is kind of cool, but more like an accessory than a character.

My top 3 new Legionnaires -

1. A *totally* alien-looking new member. A blob of jelly, a cloud of gas, a thousand tendrils - I don't care so long as there is nothing humanoid about it at all.

2. A racial-minority member. Preferably Asian, Pacific Islander or Hispanic since those groups have been woefully under-represented in the 31st Century so far. (I have much inexplicable love for Dragonmage so his return would rock my world but I think Mysa kinda makes him redundant, alas.)

3. A former Legion supporting character, minor hero or villain. My top choices being either Ron-Karr or Infectious Lass.

Levitz brings in three new characters like that and I think he'll be doing a great thing for this team.

Ooh, good one. I've always wanted to see someone like Lazon or Ron-Karr turn a new leaf. (Ron-Karr, in particular, since his power could be *crazy* useful, if he was able to flatten himself to near two-dimensional status, and move through anything three-dimensional like a hot knife through butter.).

Ditto with the mention above about Academy recruits. If this Legion is supposed to be so much older than the last time we saw them, it would make sense for Lamprey, Nightwind, Power Boy, Crystal Kid, Laurel Kent (un-retconned into not being a Manhunter), etc. to have already become members, during the years that we didn't see.

Then again, after the six different versions of Garth, Rokk and Imra I've had to put up with since Crisis on Infinite Earths, I'd just about rather see a next generation Legion composed of former Academy recruits, Subs, new characters and / or descendents of the first generation Legionnaires, than suffer through yet another interpretation of Brainy and Jo/Tinya, etc.

Ahem:

Portable walls can be in short supply. It's always good to have a spare.

i want good storys and a desent artist and i want the legion to be friends again not every one pissed at one another all the time and i want people to like the legion again, and have not have every one against the team. i want the legion to leave earth and the save other places..i dont care about anything else beacuse they can add alien looking people around the legion when the legion goes places, they can have people of difrent races be support.

i dont want them to add anything until the basics are fixed.

bring in other legionaries other then the top four we constantly see. (lighting lad, Cosmic boy, Brainiac 5, Saturn girl)

i for one would love to see a stories where we give other legionaries face time.

Or four...

Personally, I would love to see if there is a Kinetix on this Earth...

Some Tamaran or Omega Men species alien, an Amazon, a couple of new alien aliens - not just funky skin colour and pointy ears, Quislet, Kent Shakespeare and of course - Laser Ape!

I was really excited by this news too!

I'd agree that a totally alien Legionnaire would be fantastic and knowing how well Levitz writes the supporting cast I'd be surprised if we hadn't seen one of the new Legionnaires before.

What about Computo? I wasn't keen on Danielle Foucault in Legionnaires but maybe Levtiz could do something with her?

It'd be great if Comet Queen finally joined. She was great! And sadly under-appreciated!

More ranting about the Levtiz CBR interview here:

I've always found it strange that the Legion never encountered Tamarans or Thanagarians (OK Thanagarians once), or visited Rann or other DCU worlds. Presumably this was so that these worlds didn't have set futures for 21st C writers to have to juggle. Ditto Paradise Island , Atlantis and other DCU creations on Earth

Laurel Kent would be great, but only with this stylish cape she wore in accademy <giggle>.

I would like to see the some german native on the team, but not crapp like the Wild Huntsman (boring nazi shit) or Beer Belly Boy. Maybe Soccer King, who can kick all kinds of energy balls and never misses. Or something like the Grim Brothers, twins (oh, again?) from a german colony planet, who can create fairytale-projections like the Bad Wolf or the 7 Goats. And these fairytalers do....something...don`t know, maybe eat each other or kiss froggs. Levitz will find a job for them, I`m sure.

Those are both interesting ideas!
The first one, soccer guy and energy balls reminds me a little of Gambit.

The Grim twins sound really fun.
I always have wanted more magic in the Legion, although with the current 'Black Witch' idea and Mirabel in Superman there IS some being worked with.

Maybe instead of twins, Double Header could be reintroduced with these new powers.
But you probably wouldn't want him to be German, then.
