REFERENCE DOCUMENT
VERSION 1.0 -- MAY 11, 2006
The business of the Legion of Net.Heroes is one
fraught with danger, and all-too-often, a legionnaire
has fallen. The LNH honours these friends and
comrades within the Hall of Lost Heroes.
It is a sacred place, and new members are not
permitted to venture within its austere walls. Each
of the Lost Heroes is given a plaque, briefly
describing who they were and the manner in which they
fell. Some of the legionnaires (i.e., those who died
before budget cuts) even have a statue made by a blind
sculptress retained by the LNH for just such an
occasion.
For all the Lost Heroes, there is also included a
keepsake from among their personal possessions.
Some dead legionnaires are noticeably absent, among
them the traitors My-Kel and Comics Snob Boy. But
even those heroes who stayed true blue till the end
are not represented completely; this is because I've
invariably missed someone. :-)
Thanks to Saxon Brenton for jogging my memory about
a few I had missed; I'm sure I've missed a few more,
so feel free to correct me. You'll notice that I've
left most of the KEEPSAKES blank. If the primary
author is still around, I leave it to them to choose
the keepsake; characters sans authors, I appeal to the
group.
I'll incorporate all changes into the next version
of the document; sadly, since there will always be
another lost hero, this document will always require
revision. (Also of note: I'll have a corrected draft
of the Receptionist Guide within a month or so.)

"If a comic book, book, movie or novel is not somebody's fantasy
then who wrote it and to whom does it appeal to? In order for a
shared universe to have a widespread appeal, it has to appeal on
a primal level. If somebody says superhero comics are just 'wish
fulfillment' then he needs to explain what is entertainment that
doesn't satisfy our wishes and what satisfaction at all you can get
from it." -- Dr. Martin Phipps

Several corrupted clones who don't know they're clones and are active
Legionnaires. (Seriously, this was introduced back in 92, but I don't think
it ever went anywhere.)
Alternately, a spare domino mask.

Dave Van Domelen, supposed some free-floating atoms of Sig.Lad might
still be around for a keepsake....

The whole Myk-El as a traitor was retconned away in Retcon Hour. He's not
even dead. I think he merged with Raccelestial Madonna (Vamoo Woman?) to
become the Looniversal Anchor or something like that.

Boy Lad might be dead. (Not sure though) The Omaha Project series seemed
to suggest he was in heaven or something. Of course I suppose the LNH
wouldn't know for sure.
Golden Retriever? (Actually I can't remember what his name was -- A
character that the Stirge created I think)
Man! Zowie!!!Boy is dead? That's a shame! (Not that I ever planned on using
him, but still...)

As per the conclusion of Retcon Hour Myk-El was now the consort to Vamoo
Woman (who was made RACCelstial Madonna), and the two of them are
flying around in space doing... I dunno... cosmic stuff, I guess.

You never got to see him alive :-) He was retconned in during Retcon
Hour as the fall guy to take the blame for Errand Boy having taken Ultimate
Ninja's ginsu katanna. At the time the LNHers were rather upset that this
noble Legionnaire was treated like dirt by Ultimate Ninja (he told Organic
Lass to dump the Retriever's corpse in the garbage in _Errand Boy_ #7),
but since that Ultimate Ninja has since been revealed to be an evil clone
(cf _Ultimate Ninja_ #15) I'm guessing that GR's since been given a
statue in the Hall of Lost Heroes.
