Post subject:  Legion of Superheroes
Does anyone here remember the Legion of Superheroes from DC Comics? The original 60's incarnation, where any adjective was suffixed with boy, girl, lad or lass to create a teenage superhero? Such classics as Light Lass, Bouncing Boy, and personal favorite Matter-Eater Lad who came from the planet (snigger) Bismoll.

Anyway, our halloween theme at work is SuperHeroes (yep, pray for me), and in looking around for themes I came across this great fan site dedicated to the original LSH:

Check it out, especially Roll Call where u can check out Active Members, reserve mebers, future members, Expelled members and temporary members. Here u can read all about second string heroes like CHLOROPHYLL KID http://members.shaw.ca/legion_roll_call ... phyll_kid/ , whose powers are Growing plants super-big & fast. All so funny and campy, but kind of seriously aimed at the time.

I have always loved LSH... the latest comic iteration sucks, but there's a saturday morning cartoon now that's kind of a mix of the old glory days. I've followed it through the Dave Cockrum era, the Mike Grell days, and I absolutely loved what Keith Giffen did with the characters.

Thats so cool Loco - me too, first got into the Grell era when I was buying em in the 70's as a kid, then Cockrum, and the Giffen stuff (with Darkseid) was awesome. I have a few Giffen originals stuffed in an attic or closet. I had no idea there was a cartoon show tho, and I haven't seen the current stuff at all.

I have afew of the DC Direct figures - they are very faithful representations of the original characters.

Once they introduced Wildfire, I was hooked... he's probably one of my top 5 favorite comicbook characters. :D
