Seems to me so far we've seen the results from "change for change's
sake," which is what the above essentially is. Don't fundamentally
change the characters; use the characters in new stories!

===============
The LSH mini series that follows INFERNO will be entitled LEGENDS
OF THE LEGION.
The 20th century Legionnaires appear in SUPERBOY #45.
KC was polling fans to determine whether "Makeovers" for the
Legionnaires was a good idea. He cited the change from Princess
Projectra to Sensor as an example of a "Makeover." He further
asked how fans would react if they put a character through a
reality warp and they came out different.
Jason's favorite Legionnaires are Ultra Boy and Apparition. He
also likes Andromeda.
Jason's first set of rough pencils were due on Wednesday. He was
having fun pencilling, but observed that there were a lot of
characters to include in every panel. He told a Saturn Girl fan
that the pages featured lots of Imra.
KC indicated that they're considering bringing back Grimbor, but
are looking for a way to make him less "kinky." Tom stated that
he never liked Charma.
Tom observed that Live Wire, Spark and Leviathan are all 14 years
old.
Chameleon is featured on the cover to L* #55 which takes place
during DC's "big head" month. He was chosen in part because they
wanted a somewhat alien head that defines the Legion. The
creators felt that Chameleon was somewhat more representative
than Sensor.
Tom promised that Ultra Boy and Apparition are married. He
observed that Tinya is 17 and Jo is 18. Tom wondered why anyone
would marry a dead person and joked that it would kill the
honeymoon.
Jason promised character development in upcoming issues.
The "H" Dial (as in "Dial 'H' for Hero") will be appearing in L*
#53.
KC indicated that they would be dealing with the link between
Apparition and Phase soon.
Tom promised that alien races would be coming up after LSH #100.
Jeff joked that they should catalogue the races in the issues
that they have.
The title to LSH #99 is "Duo Damsel."

I suspect that this is going to be one of their sleights-
of-hand and that it actually refers to Apparition's status
rather than to Luornu losing one of her bodies.

You know, when i read that in the chat report the first thing that came
to mind was actually Tinya.

Shut Up, Rob! You're going to ruin it for everybody! 8-)
-Hernan, I know it's not original, but I've always wanted
to do that and I couldn't resist.
PS - That's what I thought, too, but I thought I was being paranoid.

Well, y'know, that's my email address, don't wear it out! :)

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're
not out to get you. :)

With my trust level in the creative team dwindling (Monstress,
anyone?), I vote no.
>Tom observed that Live Wire, Spark and Leviathan are all 14 years

Er, does this mean they're really calling Vi "Leviathan?" I like
"Violet," as on the poster, much better. (I hated the name Leviathan
even when Gim had it.) Also, Vi was listed as "almost 15" on Tom's
first list, way back when...how much time has passed?
>Tom promised that Ultra Boy and Apparition are married. He

So Tinya's gone from 15 to 17 in the same time it took Vi to go from
"almost 15" to 14? :)
>The title to LSH #99 is "Duo Damsel."
Ugh...if this is what it sounds like, it's one part of preboot I
really don't think they needed to bring back. Isn't Leviathan's death
enough for two years?

Yes, particularly since it's been established that Daddy was a
Carrgggiiiittttteeeeee (albeit a gambler... hmm, maybe he
took a bet with Neron).
And of course there's "Phase".
And the stiff courtesy of the White Triangle nutters makes three.
Hmm, it's possible, it's possible...

This hit me last night after I posted a message bitching about the
apparent death of a Triad. I was going to post it as my brilliant
brainstorm. :)

Calm down, Ben. I believe the "Duo Damsel" in this case refers to Tinya
and Phase.

My makeover would involve Lydda and Umbra: combine the two into one host
body. This new hybrid could maintain her super-strength by generating a
shadow sphere around her body. The two personalities could also fight
for control of the host body. Of course a romance with M'onel would be
close to impossible if this were to happen.
