Gigi Cusimano (Spelling?)
Devlin1
Just wondering, after reading some posts here about the Shvaugn/Sean
controversy. Did they ever re-introduce SP Officer Gigi Cusimano (not sure
about the spelling) post-boot? If not, why? What about SP Chief Zendak?

Gigi was in (the rare?) LSH Annual 6, in Waid's origin of Colossal Boy.
Not sure about any other appearances (I don't want to check the
SciPol mini :).

I believe she was the Science Police member sent to give Invisible Kid his
draft notice.

Gigi, sure...she was the one who deliered the draft notice to Lyle Norg at
the
end of LEGIONNAIRES #0.

And she never reappeared after that?? But Gigi was one of the most
prominent SP officers pre-boot (or at least in v3 anyway)!

If I'm recalling correctly, she's based on Paul Levitz' wife. Now, maybe you
want to write a character based on your uberboss' wife, but I can see where
there might be some reluctance to do so on the part of others. :-)

I was rather surprised to see in Paul's listing in "Who's Who" (the reference
book and not the DCU version) that his wife's maiden name was Cusimano. This
means Paul Tuckerized his wife. Would this then be the first woman Tuckerized
in Legion?

Don't think so. Nightwind and Lamprey, the Academy students who Wildfire
told his origin to, had real names that were Tuckerized versions of their
fan creators.

It means to take a real person and use their name and possibly other
characteristics, either physical or personality, for a fictional character
one is writing. Not in the sense of dropping, say, the current President of
the US in a story, but Gigi ending up as a Science Police officer, Sidne
being Saturn Girl's mother, or when Peter David used my name for a Starfleet
Admiral when writing Star Trek. The term is derived from the name of long
time sf fan and writer Bob Tucker who frequently used his friends' names in
his fiction in this manner.

the works of an author/SF fan named Bob Tucker. He was known to use the
names and/or personalities of people he knew in his work. Thus, to
tuckerize is to use a real person you know in a work of fiction.
