LSH symbols on the cartoon

[evilbeej]

-= Legion of Superheroes =- Cosmic Boy says, "Well. Let's see. Going by symbols... there's Tenz, and Dawnstar/Shikari, Polar Boy, Element Lad, Saturn Girl, the new Phantom Girl symbol, BLOK FOR CHRISSAKE, Triplicate Girl, umm-- I forget who that dotted lines one is, Lyle?-- I see Dreamy and Bouncing Boy, Cham, Ultra Boy, I forget that one, Shady, Brin, Val, I dunno the test tube-- Brainy, Cos, Ferro Lad, Colossal Boy, I forget who that one is but it's a girl..."

I'm a bad leader. I forget symbols. I suck. Who's the female-symbol with the horns and the triangle? And who's the test tube, Chemical King?

Yes, even with Brainy being a Transformers knockoff... :) But they sort of indicated that in "New Kids In Town" from Superman:TAS. There, he had the linked circles symbol like the robotic Brainiac and blank white eyes; Brainiac 5 could have been an android upgraded from the original design. My brother figured they were doing Brainy as a version of Evolvo.

Speaking of 3boot, went back through my comics collection and saw that we actually got 5 issues before giving up on the series. Felt like I only read two issues at best... they were that forgettable. *shrugs*

Well. The Superman:TAS/JLU Legion != the LSH cartoon version. The circuitry on the face is a direct result of post-ZH Brainy getting merged with his forcefield belt in the Fires of Creation storyline before Abnett and Lanning, and Simone had a bizarre interpretation of it as an 'emotional regulator system'; they allowed him to hook into the Sleepnet without actually being on Colu, and they also allowed Brainiac 4 to hook him up to a ZOMG DEATH MACHINE WTF.

I try not to speak of 3boot except to compare it to other Legions and say 'hey, this Legion is better' -- up to and including the Naked Legion, of which I am not a major fan (see: Grell).

Actually, I actively dislike 3boot, except - as usual - for bits and pieces.

I am not currently reading it. I stopped, finally, when Supergirl was shoehorned in.

THAT'S NOT KARA. I could rant for hours, but who needs to expend the energy? Not I.
