Who is your favorite Legionnaire? [Archive] - Comic Book Resources Forums

Bouncing Boy

04-25-2005, 06:27 PM

Bouncing Boy is obviously my favorite Legionnaire, I also like Matter Eater Lad, Triplicate Girl/Duo Damsel/Triad, Shrinking Violet, Dream Girl, Brainiac 5 and Cosmic Boy. In the new series Triplicate Girl and Dream Girl are my favorites, and I like what they've done with Phantom Girl as well.

Timber Wolf. It's a real shame he is not in the new Legion of Super Heroes series :( .

Mon-el

04-25-2005, 08:10 PM

Mon-El is the simple answer.

Always been partial to Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Princess Projectra, Karate Kid, Superboy.

Current faves:

Ultra Boy: I got to give it to the kid that tried to get a threesome.

Karate Kid: I kinda of felt sad for the kid with what happened to him and PG.

Here's Hoping that Projectra will finally get some screen time.

Maybe he's "Mystery-Boot Lad"? :D

Looking forward to her finally appearing in Waid and Kitson's Legion.

Mon-el (NOT Valor or M'Onel!)

Saturn Girl

Kono

Sade

Ultra Boy

Monstress (once DnA got their hands on her)

Element Lad, of any era but the re-boot, until he became the Progenitor, which was just nasty and cool!

Valor - yes I thought he rocked

Wildfire - of all of the Legion members, I think this guy could carry his own title

Triad

Timber Wolf

Shrinking Violet

White Witch

Deathstroke

04-26-2005, 08:32 PM

It's Saturn Girl.

It's been Saturn Girl since the first time I saw a Legion comic when I was in my single digit ages.

Shem the Penman

04-26-2005, 09:45 PM

Tyroc.

Okay, seriously, Ultra Boy. Wildfire's cool too, and Element Lad (although I'm not sure about the new mystic version yet).

I liked Valor because he seemed a bit more distinct as a character -- when I was a kid, Mon-El always struck me as just a Superboy knockoff.

Timber Wolf, XS and Wildfire. Who are nowhere to be seen. :(

titanfan

04-27-2005, 11:37 AM

It used to be Star Boy--but I hate this current incarnation of him.

Others I like are Dream Girl, Night Girl, Sun Boy, Cosmic Boy,
Infectious Lass, Wildfire

Masterman

04-27-2005, 12:28 PM

Honestly? I have to say Mon-El. But give Element Lad his props for being able to turn any element into another.

Paradox

**cops out**

I love 'em ALL! AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh, O.K....

Early on I was a big fan of Karate Kid's. I liked Levitz' Timber Wolf a great deal, and Quizlet was fun, Fun, FUN!!!

I really grew to love Rokk during the early V4 days, as well as Vi.

Post-boot Brainy was nicely complex, snarky and amusing. I really liked the alientated Chameleon Boy from early in that era.

Currently I like Cosmic Boy, Triplicate Girl and Invisible Kid, but time will tell on who ends up a favorite.

Levitz's Dream Girl. My absolute fave Legionairre. She was flighty, but incredibly competent. Levtiz is the only one to write Dream Girl well. Waid's Dream Girl comes close to Levitz's Dream Girl. Not quite as cool, but close.

Sensor Girl (NOT the snake) and Saturn Girl's 70s costume are my favorite costumes.

I really liked Tellus a lot.

My favorite Legion character will always be Comet Queen. Always.

Ontir

04-29-2005, 05:54 PM

I liked the "G-Bs" Nura too. She was an extension of Levitz' competent leader, who had now risen to the position of High Seer, but still had her hands in Legion business.

I LOVED Tellus! I remember a year or so after he was intorduced, there was an article (in "Amazing Heroes" I think) talking about non-humanoid characters, in which Tellus was cited as possibly the best ever. This is one character I'd like to see brought back ASAP!

My favorite used to be XS. But, with this new Legion, my favorite is Dream Girl. She was awesome in issue #2!

Polar Boy. What?

Seriously alltime favourites - Timberwolf and Wildfire

Wildfire all the way. Waid better use him in the new Legion sooner or latter. The guy was the heart and soul of the Legion for many years. What sucked so bad was that he was pretty much ignored all during the Giffen era, and then not seen again until late into the reboot era with a bastardazation form that wasn't anything like the old Wildire until DnA got a hold of him in Legion Lost. Finally we had a version of Wildfire that was pretty close to the classic version after a decade of being treated like a filler character, and all of a sudden bam they start over again and he is no where to be seen again.

Just not enough love for the classic 70's and 80's Legion members like Wildfire, Blok, Dawnstar, Tyroc, Tellus, Polar Boy, and others. Timber Wolf is about the only one that gets any love by writers these days.

Yeah, I gotta add Andromeda & Tellus. I'd also really like to see a version of Kent Shakespeare too. That guy was cool too I thought.

Soooo many to love. Princess Projectra is probably my current top..... in the Silver Age it was Saturn Girl 'cause they kept telling her 'this is too dangerous for a girl!' and she'd say, 'Eff that, I'm doin' it anyway!'. I also adore the Ranzz twins, Salu Digby (I mean, her name alone is awesome)m Tasmia..... hell, I love almost all of the Legion women. I even had a little love for Thunder, the Earth 247 character with the power of Shazam.

As for the subs? I like Infectuous Lass, but sorry; it's all about Night Girl to me.

Non-Legion people? SHVAUGHN ERIN!!!!!! Bring her back in Three Worlds, Geoff!

And..... I know people hate her, but......

....Lori Morning. Yes, really.

All-time fave is Jacques Foccart (Invisible Kid), but I also love Dawnstar, Element Lad, and Shadow Lass. Obviously, these versions are all "pre-boot."
There are are very few (true) Legionnaires I don't love.

Charybdis4

08-31-2008, 07:26 AM

SHADOW LASS!!! - The original one. Loved her look & her relationship with Mon-El was great. I always loved it when Shady, Mon-el, PG & Ultra Boy went on missions together.

TIMBERWOLF - Original of course.

DAWNSTAR.

WILDFIRE

Also special mention to Cosmic Boys power signature. I love the expanding circles.

Also special mention to 1970's Saturn Girls & Princess Projectra's costumes.

DEFINITELY DEFINITELY NOT - Sensor (snake mess), monstress, Karate Kid II,

I only really know the third version and the cartoon. Though, I am reading Showcase Presents Legion of Super-Heroes vol. 1 right now. There isn't much distinctive about any of the originals so far, though.

My favorites in the "three-boot" are probably Ultra Boy and Karate Kid. Which is interesting, because their personalities are practically opposites of each other. Also, Light Lass always seems like a lot of fun. Of all of them, she seems the most upbeat.

In the cartoon, I like Bouncing Boy and Chameleon Boy. Bouncing Boy is just the regular guy who achieved his dream. Chameleon Boy I like because he's the "funny one", but it's a little different with the one in the cartoon. Jokesters on superhero teams are usually either really wacky or just crack bad jokes all the time. Cham on the cartoon seems to have more of a biting, sarcastic sense of humor.

08-31-2008, 05:25 PM

In no particlular order: Chameleon, Ultra Boy, Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Mon-El, and Lightning Lad.

hushy1979

08-31-2008, 06:32 PM

I think Phantom Girl is a darn interesting character... Waid's version was really quite intriguing.

Saturn Girl, Sun Boy, Karate Kid, Colossal Boy and Atom Girl

and of cos... DAWNSTAR

Scrubz

08-31-2008, 07:33 PM

No question in my mind: Mon-El.

Lupek

09-01-2008, 08:05 PM

Mon El with Timberwolf a close second. Dream Girl would be my third favorite.

I really liked Bouncing Boy and Ferro Lad in the cartoon as well.

Actually I find the founding members, Lightning Lad, Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl to be the least interesting out of all the cast.

09-01-2008, 08:30 PM

Depends on the version of the Legion we're talking about, I don't know anything about the current Legion, but Karate Kid, Wildfire and Timber Wolf top my favorites for the classic Legion and Timber Wolf, Brainiac 5, Ultra-Boy and XS top my favorite Zero Hour Era Legion

newscott

09-02-2008, 07:24 AM

In the current series? Invisible Kid is pretty cool, and he does his job without really much glory. I also like the new Atom Girl/Shrinking Violet.

Traditionally, my favorites are Chameleon Boy and Karate Kid. Like, from the 70's books. Good fun.

MythicBrawn

09-04-2008, 05:44 AM

Ultra Boy for his powerset, not his idiocy. Brainiac is pretty cool too. His attitude can suck at times but what can you expect with all that intelligence.
