Brainy's Legion - 09/27/13 01:15 AM
Having dismantled the group and had it shut down by the UP, perhaps the intended plan was for Brainy to be in charge of building it back up. Or at least trying to. It would lead on nicely from #0’s Tharok origin through Comet Queen’s mission and to the last issue hint.
"He's probably calculating a way to find a new Legion based on Colu… with him in absolute charge."
But just who would want to join Brainy’s team, or even be in a position to do so?
Yes
Querl Dox
"Let me finish trying to save the universe." & "Would you please let me get back to expiating my sins." - On Colu, scheming.
Jacques Foccart
"I have never understood these powers since Brainiac gave them to me. And after this journey, I know them less."- On Earth. If he wants some answers it's going to have to be Brainy. Not to mention Brainy saving his sister. It would also be nice to see him develop those political skills of v4. The Legion may need them going up against a UP that closed them down.
Brek Banin
"The worlds still need us, Legionnaire."- The Legion's cheerleader. Interesting to see how his idealism copes under Brainy being in charge. About an issue, probably. Not time enough to recruit the other subs.
Grava
In stasis under Querl Dox's care. Her condition is due to a plot against Brainiac.
Harmonia Li
Time travel obsession & interesting morality. Brainy's perfect Legion partner.
Elsewhen
Lost in Time - Brin Londo, Drake Burroughs, Troy Stewart, Dawnstar, Ganglios, Yera Allon, Ti'julk Mr'asz
Xerox moved in space & time – Blok, Mysa Nal, Glorith II
Out of this dimension -
Tinya Wazzo
"I have to get out of here. Even if it means never coming back." - Possibly shifted back to Bgtzl.
Quislet
Dumped off panel - Probably back in home dimension
No
Gim Allon - "I'm glad the fleet was called back." - Part of the UP fleet now.
Lar Gand - "Aaargh--!!" - Critically injured and unavailable.
Jo Nah - "Tinya's alive. Somewhere." - That's his only focus and Brainy is reluctant to prioritise it.
Tenzil Kem - Dumped off panel earlier in the run on Bismoll.
Jan Arrah - "I have a science police officer with plans for you, Jan." - working with SP, and presumably the now never seen Erin.
Nura Nal - "And now the Legion disappearing too. And with it, my life as a Legionnaire." - Looks to be staying on Naltor.
Val Armorr - On Orando - possible figment of Projectra's imagination
Projectra - "The stark reality of what has happened continues to sink in painfully." - Back on Orando projecting her dead husband.
Tasmia Mallor - "I'm taking Mon-el home to heal if he can." - Looking for a cure for Mon-El, wherever that takes her.
Unlikely
Luornu Durgo Taine - "Or the heroes we trained who went back to their home worlds." - Looks likely to stay on Earth. Previous runs had them train UP Heroes.
Chuck Taine- "They can’t take away the worlds we saved, Luornu." - - Looks likely to stay on Earth. Previous runs had them train UP Heroes.
Probable
Marya Pai - student with no better option - "Would you like me to speak to Marya? Advice form a common background?" - Li
Hadru Jamik - student with no better option - "Give me a chance Marya."
Possible
Reep Daggle - He may have to rebuild his father's business as per 5YG. But he may still finance Brainy. Unlikely to have returned to Durla.
Salu Digby - Possibly on Winath as per 5YG. Hard to imagine her not wanting to join up for action.
Ayla Ranzz - Probably on Winath as per 5YG - will her assertiveness shown in previous Levitz runs, mean she's more likely to join up? Certainly more than her brother.
Not at First
Imra Ardeen-Ranzz - "He's probably calculating a way to find a new Legion based on Colu." - On Winath, but already calculating the future with a Legion. The most likely to return, if only to keep Brainy in check.
Rokk Krinn - "Rokk was first and best." - On Winath, but may be needed to lead again, possibly by Reep Daggle as per 5YG, or by Imra Ranzz or UP insistence.
Garth Ranzz - "I only wanted an excuse to hang around with this pretty woman." - On Winath. Doesn’t look like he’ll go back without his wife.
Lydda Jath - Either stays on Earth teaching at the Academy or, having been reconciled with Rokk Krinn, stay with him on Winath.
Prospective Members
Tel Vole - "I can do some good there." - Concerned about the bigger picture than graduating to the legion. Was the leader of the Academy students when it mattered & a replacement for Starboy.
Jeddiah Rikane - Possibly lined up to be the replacement, at least for a while, for Phantom Girl. Instead of Tinya & Jo you get Jed & Tel. Also provides a bit of strength for the team.
Jenni Ognats - Sitting around on Earth. Would be a valuable asset for some of Brainy's experiments. Not to mention her valuable Legion experience.
Danielle Foccart - A bit speculative, but would be a way of getting her brother onto the team and her powers were hinted strongly by Levitz in his previous run. Those powers would be essential in Brainy's proposed "master plan"
So, there you have it - a team of
Dox, Foccart J., Foccart D., Banin, Grava, Li, Pai, Jamik, Digby, Ranzz A., Vole, Rikane, Ognats and possibly Daggle
leading into the Levitz equivalent of the start of the 5YG.
