Here's the question of the moment! I'm not setting a deadline for this, I just wanted some opinions!

I vote yes. Of course, the question is how are they going to get that over with the UP....

I voted yes, but I'm not sure if it should be an officially sanctioned GL--- the UP has got the LSH, why do they need the GLC, too? Maybe the new UP GL is a Starheart-possessing heir of Alan Scott...?
Either way, I look forward to seeing that particular storyline play out!

Come on Scott, I voted yes, because if anyone can bring the two properties together... It's gonna be you |

Thanks for the response guys! This particular GL would not be a GLC sanctioned ring bearer. If you read VIDAR, you MAY already know where the ring came from... I say 'may' because, as usual, David had a really good idea up there. I mean, how many trees could possibly be left on the Earth to hinder his ability? |

I'm voting yes, just to see what you'd do with the idea.  |

I voted no, because I'd be afraid he'd hog a spotlight that could be taken by other Legionnaires, and also I thought members needed a super-power in order to join rather than just an ornate weapon. Just my opinion, and clearly a minority one.

I think it'll be a fun concept.
The Legion never really explored the legacies of the superheroes that preceded them back in their original run. It's hard to do that without becoming a set of gimmicks, but I'd like to see the DC2 do that. If the Legion is the future of the DCU, let's see the Legion learn some lessons from the heroes of the past.
...also I think a mention of Jonah Hex in Legion would be hilarious, just to make Susie squeal:
Saturn Girl: (looks at a picture of Jonah Hex) Who is this?
Brainiac 5: I believe that is the 20th and 21st-century actor known as Clint Eastwood.

Devices like enviromental suits, of course, don't count, or else Tellus, Quislet, and ERG-1/Wildfire would be right out. Then again, this is DC2, so the rules may be different here. |

Now there is yet another good concept I'd like to see the DC2 Legion team tackle. What if a hero that was empowered by tech wanted to join the Legion, Kid Quantum, for example? The Legion allowed members that use magic, like the White Witch, and members that needed special suits, like Wildfire, but technology-based heroes are not allowed? Why? It could allow the Legion to go into other genres. I can see a court drama story where a hero who gets his powers from armor sues the Legion thanks to thier bylaw against technology-based heroes, for example: Iron Lad-knockoff: They're prejudiced against technologically-empowered heroes!  I demand that their bylaw be found unconstitutional!
Lightning Lad: We did let a hero like that in once, it turned out to be a disaster.
Iron-Lad: Oh, so all heroes who use tech get punished?! Screw you, you thunder-throwing Luddite!Their bylaw against technically-empowered heroes are ripe with possibilities, liike maybe a team of tech-packing heroes decide to form their own team to fight crime as their way of sticking it to the Legion, for example. |

This is fun! Susan, I will give you an arc of LSH if you want them to meet Jonah! Tempted? The Legion constitution has yet to be printed in the DC2 for many reasons. Yes, that is a bylaw in the DC LSH constitution (at least in the old days... it's been revamped so often who the heck really knows anymore!?). The possibilities in the DC2 are currently limitless! And, if such a bylaw were to come into existence through the course of my tenure, who's to say that it wouldn't be a GL that caused the law to be written in the first place? Like I said, the possibilities for the Legion on this site are limitless! |

It sure is.  ;D Susan, I will give you an arc of LSH if you want them to meet Jonah! Tempted? *pounds fists on table* Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! DO IT NOW! The Legion constitution has yet to be printed in the DC2 for many reasons. Yes, that is a bylaw in the DC LSH constitution (at least in the old days... it's been revamped so often who the heck really knows anymore!?). The possibilities in the DC2 are currently limitless! And, if such a bylaw were to come into existence through the course of my tenure, who's to say that it wouldn't be a GL that caused the law to be written in the first place? Not to mention it could be a great way to bring in the WorkForce, from one of the more recent versions of the Legion. Perhaps in the DC2 Universe, they are a team of technologically-empowered heroes who formed the team because they wanted to fight evil, but knew the Legion would never let them in as members. Like I said, the possibilities for the Legion on this site are limitless![/quote] |

Kid Quantum is the reason for that no-tech bylaw, or at least post-Zero Hour, that is. On one of their first missions, the belt that supplied his powers malfunctioned, and he died as a result. Not wanting such a tragedy to happen again, they added that stipulation to the bylaws. This is why his sister, also known as Kid Quantum, allowed herself to be physically modified as opposed to relying on outside tech, so as to bypass that stipulation. Geez, is my geek flag flyin' tonight or what?  And thanks for the offer, LL. I'm flattered, but I have no ideas for a story, WWQ-related or not. When I do, I'll signal you on my flight ring. ;D |

Of course, if the Legionaire was a descendant of Alan Scott who had internalized the power of the Starheart (as Alan himself has done in Gotterdammerung), that would be one way of getting around the powers stipulation... |
