re: the end of The Threeboot Legion

Jim Shooter has posted a 3 part overview of his intended threeboot story arc on his website. There were going to be some very interesting developments that eventually got derailed. Check it out. For good or ill, it makes a lot more sense than the published product. I enjoyed most of it.

Time Stamp: May 17th, 3009

Dear Mr. Alastor,

During preparation for the end of the university semester, our housing department informed us that items belonging to your missing sister remained in her dorm room, unclaimed. We understand the difficulty of this situation for you and your family, but the university housing department does not have the resources to deliver these items to you or your family, even if we had a specific forwarding address for either of you, which we currently don't.

The materials can be returned to the destination of your choice for a reduced student shipping discount. Details can be obtained through the Metropolis University Student Affairs Administrative Center translink:
musa.44.er44.mu.

We will retain these items in university storage for a period of four Earth weeks pending notification from you or a relative about what should be done with these items. If we have not heard from anyone within that time, due to storage space limitations, the materials will be relegated to a recycling process.

Best of luck to you, sir.

Andeera Gault
Director of Student Affairs; Off-world Residential Advisor

I have to leave Rimbor. Been no work for eighteen months. The factory's main source for export of telanyde was Earth sector. Humans First means off-worlders loose work.
Caught stealing food. Spent four months in jail. Beaten to within an inch of my life six times.
No hope of ever finding out the truth about my sister's death. I had no money to retrieve her belongings or contact my parents, so her things were destroyed.
Yesterday I was released from prison and given a deportation notice. Without money for transport, I will be placed on an indigent cargo ship headed for the asteroid mines in the beltway. A place where people like me are sent to work until we die.
But I don't want to die.
I want to live.
I want to live long enough to kill every human on the face of the planet Earth...

Five months on the asteroid mines of the beltway. I can barely walk, but every day I have to wake up and run the sonic jack that mines the benzene that fuels the fuel that fuels the sub-light ships. All of us here, like a family of misfits and outcasts, all of us homeless, all of us hating something or someone… or maybe just hating ourselves.
My sister died. My parents remain indigent and unable to contact me. I came to the stars to find fame and fortune. All I have found is sadness and heartache.
I am fourteen hundred credits shy of buying out my contract. It will take me four more months. I will have just enough left for a sub-light transport to take me to the Winathian Transport Hub. If I can scheme, steal or buy my way on to a sunlight transport to Earth that has Threshold Access rights, I can be there within a year.
And then I can look at the humans who took my sisters life. I will look for the one who has the guiltiest eyes -- or the angriest eyes -- either one -- and I will walk up to that human.
And I will kill them.
And then I can finally die at peace and my sister's life avenged.

Banked the last credits i needed to buy out my contract today. I bribed a loader to let me sneak on to the cargo hold of a sunlight transport leaving drydock tomorrow. I am one step closer to leaving this place. I am one step closer to reaching Earth.

Four months ago, I thought I could be content exacting revenge for my sister's death by simply killing one random human, as senseless and useless a loss as that of dear Maryessa. I thought that ironic justice, but also, admittedly, an act I might be able to accomplish, given my meager means and experience in the art of both interstellar transport and murder. But the more I thought about such an action, the less I considered it sufficiently addressed my sister's callous murder.

Making one pay does not serve to balance the scales for the pain I have endured. It does nothing to make all the other xenophobic savages of their world understand the darkness they have spread across the galaxy. No, the only way to balance these scales for the death of one so pure of soul is if all those blackened of soul pay for the crimes of their species.

I can not be content exacting revenge on one human, I must exact revenge on them all.

They will all pay.

Tomorrow, I am leaving this place. And I am one step closer to reaching Earth.

What Earth is the Reboot Legion on?

What Earth is the Reboot Legion on?

Last time we checked they were not on any Earth. They were 'Legion Lost'ing it around the Multiverse because their Earth 247 was destroyed. I can't recall if that was retconned to be in COIE.

[Crisis]

Witchboy we don't even know if they exist at this point with all the changes in the multiverse. *and they better* If any writer worth his salt can now place them on any Earth in the 52 - well not Prime Earth - now. They originally lost their Earth in Infinite Crisis and were shunted to the time stream until legion of 3 worlds. Now with so much history being retconned in the wake of Post Flashpoint...well we have to wait and see...and I hope they're out there...and their Earth.
