In honor of our last contest featuring Timberwolf, your Character Design Challenge this week is to create a new member for the Legion of Super-Heroes!
For those of you who aren't aware of this inspiring futuristic super-team, the version I'm most nostalgic for is the one featuring a group of 24th century teenagers who band together to fight super villains threatening either the Earth or one of the innumerable other planets in the Federation. Or whatever they call their goody two-shoes planetary league, you can't expect me to go through all the trouble of looking something up!
More importantly than that, I loved the Legion growing up, although I am sure it has been ruined by future generations just like everything else anyone my age ever loved. For instance, have they ever introduced anyone else since then with the awe-inspiring nature of "Matter Eater Lad", whose power is to eat stuff? I kid you not, my friends, that was the incredible power of my creative cohorts while growing up. And it's probably a good insight as to why we're leaving you such a hosed-up planet. Oops.
Arguably the best thing about the Legion was how 1950s their entire team was, despite allegedly coming from far in the future. The haircuts, the costumes, the logic-defying awfulness of their original rocketship headquarters, and -- above all -- the apparently iron-clad early rule that your name had to end in "Lass" or "Lad". Or sometimes "Girl" or "Boy". Apparently in the future the adults completely lack the spines necessary to either fight for themselves or to enforce good taste on their ill-begotten offspring.
Regardless, you must come up with a suitably futuristic and super-powered member to fill out their already over-bloated ranks. You can play it straight (as I said, I did love the Legion) or you could go silly, and note that your character is slotted to join the "Legion of Substitute Super Heroes". Yes, that really existed, too. The next time you're wondering how we let the polar ice caps melt, take a look at Polar Boy and Plague Girl. I shit you negatory.
I'll be judging on the usual "Is it awesome" criteria, but also for suitableness to a futuristic super-hero team. You're going to have a hard time convincing me that the rifle-festooned zombie corpse of the Punisher's 24x great-grandson would be a fit Legionnaire, for instance.
Otherwise the rules are the same:
- Use only a HeroMachine applet (no PhotoShopping except for basic cropping) to create a PNG or JPG of your entry, named as [your name]-[character name].[file extension]. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his "Bayou Belle" character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
- Post the image to a publicly accessible website (ImageShack, PhotoBucket, the UGO Forums, etc.).
- Enter the name of your entry and a link directly to the image in a comment to this post. The image cannot have been used in any previous HeroMachine character design contest.
- The link to your image should go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this). If you see "preview" or "rotate" somewhere in the link you're probably doing it wrong.
- I'll choose a winner next Monday, who will receive his or her choice of any item or a portrait to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 program, or a "Sketch of the Week" style black and white illustration (you pick the subject and I draw it up however I like).
Since this sort of contest might be interpreted by some to be a license to spam everything they ever came up with in the past, we're limiting entries to no more than five apiece.
I look forward to seeing what all you lads and lasses come up with!

I’m old enough to remember the earliest appearances of the Legion, where a contingent of them would show up in their Time Fishbowl to whisk Superboy, or sometimes Supergirl, into their future utopia and make them try out to see if they were good enough to join–like they didn’t already know what yellow-sun-exposed Kryptonians could do; they’d spent umpteen quatluus to travel back in freaking time and they STILL make them audition–and they’d invariably disqualify them on some stupid technicality. Elitist punks!
You’d think I’d have got past this by now.
If I remember correctly, the one golden rule of the Legion was that no two heros could have the same powers. So does that mean that before we submit an entry we have to go through a list of all the real Legion guys and make sure we’re not using a power they already have?
For some reason, the Silver Age Legionnaires’ seem to have spent a lot of time enforcing rules and rejecting potential members.

Gero (2): There have been so many variations on the Legion membership that I will waive that rule. If they don’t like it, they can come back in time and kill me. Or make me prance around in my underwear like they did to Timberwolf.
Jack Zelger (3): They were like a big fraternity of high-achievers who delighted in telling everyone what to do and having a rule for every single possible occurrence. I’m pretty sure there’s a whole section devoted to how to handle emergency incursions of grotesque foods from the past into their present, titled “Handling ‘Hot Pockets’ Temporal Incursions, Policies and Procedures.”
Oh, and Jeff, they’re from the 30th century, not the 24th. You may be confusing them with Starfleet. 🙂
Oops! Yeah, 30th century. They’re too square even for the Federation.

I love this contest. I will add, however, that I think a REQUIREMENT for consideration should be the addition of the “lad-lass-boy-girl” naming convention. My only concession would be for number, a la Brainiac-5.
But hey, that’s just me.
Oh believe me, John, that will definitely be taken into consideration in the “Spirit of the Legion” section of the judging. Definitely.

The costume includes hints of Black Canary’s costume, but done in what I think is a 50s/60s Legion variation. It’s also convenient that the skirt is a great way of covering up problems with body parts lining up! 🙂

That’s a really nice one, Jack, very much in the spirit of the Legion. I love the sonic effect behind her, you nailed that.
Here is Lucky Lad, an irish hero whose powers are based off of Longshot and Domino from Marvel. It’s really both skill and luck in a world where hitting your target is a life-and-death matter.

@Jeff: I love how the “futuristic” characters always conform to the contemporary. 1950s Legion of Superheroes, 1930s serials of “Flash Gordon”, even the 1979-81 run of “Buck Rogers” with Gil Gerard are great examples.
Consider this, though. Future Marty in “Back to the Future Part II” might have worn two ties, but the ties themselves were so 1980s. Between the 1950s and the 30th Century? That’s plenty of time for grecian formula, poodle skirts, and doo-wop to make a come back.

An old friend of the family took him under his care; this friend turned out to be Val Armorr, the original Legionnaire known as Karate Kid. Armorr trained and instructed young Travis in martial arts, which helped him to cope with the loss of his sight. Not soon after finishing his training and graduating from Armorr´s instruction, the brave Legionnaire died at the hands of Nemesis Kid, member of the Legion of Super-Villains. Travis decided to honor his master´s memory by becoming a hero and adopted the name DRAGON FORCE. As a result of his training, his remaining senses have developed to superhuman levels, being able to “see” in more than one way. His fighting skills, strength and speed are extraordinary, making him an invincible warrior, second only to his former master.

It’s been difficult for the Legion to take Infinity Girl seriously. After all, she is thoroughly unfocused, disorganized, and worst of all, annoying, and her duplicates are doubly so. Still though, she is a popular heroine to the outside galaxy, and her self-promotion may be conceited and vain, but it is also effective. So it seems perennially, the Legion invites Infinity Girl to audition, to see if she’s taken the opportunity to take responsibility and grow up, and every year, they politely decline her admission. Oh, Infinity Girl, will you ever be more than a “Substitute Hero?”

Entry 1
The Terrabutor
http://i861.photobucket.com/albums/ab175/KingSlaughter/Kingslaughter_Terrabutor.png
Story:
The “Terrabutor “ is a name given to this strange “blue-ish” creature by Dr. Joseph Monroe of the E.T.S .I. (Extra Terrestrial Studies Institute) and it derives from the fusion of the Latin words Terra (= earth) and abutor (=“abuser” or manipulator); a name granted to the creature after the doctor witnessed its extraordinary powers. The “Terrabutor” arrived some time ago into the earth’s atmosphere from the distant Nebulian Universe… His sole mission is to meet and be part of the earthlings’ Legion of Superheroes in order to assist them in the protection of the human race and the universe in general. He is a telekinetic expert and manipulator of matter. He can control and alter his surroundings, make things float or even use them as projectiles against enemies. Also he is able to instantly craft weapons and armor from almost any material (e.g. stone, wood, iron, etc) nearby, making him almost invulnerable to enemy attacks. Moreover, his traditional Nebulian red cloak, the only garment that he wears on his blue-ish body, grants him the power of flight and teleportation to long distances, yet he cannot use this power at the same time as when he is manipulating matter… This benevolent super-alien will probably be a valuable addition to the Legion of Superheroes even though he doesn’t seem to talk very much…
I liked the idea of using the legacy of a past hero, so I thought I’d give it a try myself:
Nelk Sonent, once the prince of his homeworld, now forced into the life of a contract thief. His latest assignment has him breaking into the vault of a private collector. Succeeding in the first part with ease, upon entering he sees his prize – the Helm of Nabu.
Whilst thinking over how to best leave the building and get back to his cilent, the vault alarms go off. With security pressing closer on him with every passing seccond, Nelk has no choice but to see if this relic still works. Lowering the helmet onto his head, his mind is engulfed with the knowledge of the universe, the mystic arts, order and chaos.
It is at that moment Helk knows what he must do. To no longer act as a common thief, but to serve a higher purpose more worthy of his birthright. Not yet ready to accept the full title of the legendary doctor, he’s known as Fate Boy.

I have to admit that while I was always aware of the Legion, I was never all that into them. But I remember reading a Superman story where he travels into their future (time travel is confusing) and finds that the Legion of Superheroes has been usurped by another team of heroes (really villains) and branded as criminals. So given that that’s really my only knowledge of a Legion storyline I figured I’d set my first entry there if that’s okay.

Indigo Girl–named not for the band, but for “indigo children” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo_children )
aka Roygi Biv, Indigo Girl is actually a princess from the planet Irryd. All the members of the royal family have superpowers, including the ability to produce force fields (like the one she’s walking on in the pic), telepathy, precognition, astral projection, and light manipulation. She is always surrounded by an indigo aura.
Hoping that this is true to the spirit of the early Legion …

Wallace Blake was born on Earth on the 30th Century. His parents were a couple of notable scientists, known throughout the world and the galaxy. When his parents were performing an important test with an experimental power reactor, the engine exploded and irradiated the scientists with an intense burst of radiation. For unknown reasons, the couple survived with no after effects. Three years later, their son Wallace was born, without any apparent deffects. When he grew up and became an adolescent, his powers emerged in a state of emotional stress. It was later discovered that the accident suffered by his parents altered their genetic structure and that change was passed on to Wallace. He learned to absorb and control any and all kinds of energy, from light to radiation. He called himself Fireforce.

Now we are talking! A LONG time
LSH fan, 70s Jim Shooter/Mike Grell era was my fave, and been RPing LSH since the early 90s. We, my Legion buds and I, have made Legionnaires, Subs, Rejects and Alternates …
Here are some of mine:
Alter Boy
An old character. So old I forget his background story or even his real name. I remember he had a twin sister, Alter Girl. His powers were to change things into other things. His costume is not my gay attemt to make a boy halter (that was just a side effect) it is actually the top part of his A costume, the legs of course being the bottome.

Cadecus,
before I even knew the term Legacy heroes, we had several. This being one of them Nura Sehpt formally Calamity Queen.
Older sister of Infectious Lass from the planet Somahtu but with more control than her sister Drura. Once she discovered Drura had left Somahtu to see the universe she went after her hoping to heal any her sister made ill by mistake. Calamety Queen has the ability to heal by touch and concentration, taking the ailment back into herself
where her own immune system can deal with the illness. She underwent a makeover from the girl Legionnaires to make her
less …. “severe” that included a name change to make her sound less threatening.Cadecus has purple hair as does her sister but underwent cosmetic sugery to remove the chalk white complexion and distintive antennae so she would not be recognised as a Somahturian. She wears a white dress, with a cadecus on her chest. The dress his slitted up each side so not to impeed her work, she wears a utility belt of medical equipment and medications although her powers let her heal most anything.She dates the former Legion physician Dr. Gymll from Medicus One.

Force Girl
in the 30th century the Green Lanterns were outlawed. However Force Girl is not a Green Lantern, but a being composed of Green Lantern energy itself. All the powers a Green Lantern has She can’t remember her true name, parents, planet of birth, or anything about herself, just flying aimlessly through space. But once she heard of the Legion of Super Heroes, she knew she had to become one to help them secure the galaxies. She has green hair, light green skin, and black shark type eyes. Her teammates have given her the name Emerald, some calling her Emma or Em. Her personality is sweet, innocent and naive, until she must fight lawbreakers and villians, then she is a fierce warrior.

His powers include: Super Hearing, Invisability, Illusion, Super Ventriliquism, Matter Manipulation (shapechanging non-living objects). Very little can damper his eternally cheerful spirit, and even when he fights it’s more of a game. Like many a leprechaun he has a weakness for drinking.
Often seen up to no good with Coyote Kid and Slyfox who are
almost constantly getting into mischief, the trio is usually known among teammates as the Legion of Practical Jokers!

Legion of Substitute Hero
Ivy
a desendant of the villian Poison Ivy and Floro the Floronic Man. Ivy heritage is checkered with villians and heroes over the generations. Poison Oak and The Earl King to name two of the Heroes. Ivy, much like her decendant, is a very sexy girl who knows how to use it to her advantage, but her super power is Plant Growth, unfortunately the power is a bit diluted over the 1000 years or so, so that is her ONLY power, she can’t animate, control or speak with the plants, and she HATES them to be cut down once she’s grown them. (In one LSH game she was an actual member, in a later LSH game she was only a SUB)

Legion Rejects.
Some of the fun of the legion comics were the guys who never made it. Heck that is were the Subs came from, not to mention the one time Legion of Super Rejects who fought the Legion, some going on to join the Legion of Super Villians!
The following are actual Rejects from our game. Actually these are just my rejects, John and Ray
had their own great moments like Wee Wee Lad and Cake Kid!
Not only were some of these rejects because of the lameness of their powers, but occasionally just because they didn’t fit into the Legion “feel” and setting, such as being too blood thirsty or not having a natural power and relying on weapons and armor or other tech.
Baby Boy
Jon-E
Powers: not to wet himself … except when scared,
and of course he can talk pretty good,
and walk,
and he can count up to 5, and knows A, B, C … but gets confued after that,
but his most powerful power, is his adorableness, (broadcast empathy) all adults have to stop
what they are doing and fawn over him and talk ridiculously idiotic. If the adorableness doesn’t get them, his sonic baby cry will stop them in their tracks.
Also he has super speed to always get into things as soon as someone’s back is turned and the ability to break almost anything. We wont mention the poison gas attack serveral hours after he eats.

Bat Boy
Grayson Drake is a decendant of Jason Drake aka Robin.
Grayson discovered Dr. Langstrom’s ancient notes and formulas which with 30th century tech he thought he could improve on. He was only partially right. The new formula turned him into a living vampire.
(this is a case of a character who doesn’t fit the Legion … in our own humble opinion, but makes a good reject. And yes it is based off a certain living vampire from another company … ok so its a
total rip off, but I always had him pegged for the this Legacy comic company crossover character. I almost saved him for the Black and White contest …)

the door.
There was some rumours later, that she had just wanted to Try Out for the Legion to get to “bump into them”.

Zap
Ayla announces the next applicant “Next we have … Zap … from …. WINATH!” Ayla says in
surprise.A small insect flies to the center of the room
“Uh hem. I am Zap … I come from Winith. Specifucally the Lightning Bar Ranch, and I my name is … Ranzz I got my powers during a storm. Just as lightning blasted the fence post I was on, Garth Ranzz blasted it in a fit of rage as I was sparking with a cute female Lightning Bug.” Zap’s butt gives an electrical spark and an audible ZAP!
“Instead of being incinerated … like she was …” Zap’s antennas droop
“I was giving the superpower of … heighten intelligence. I unlike any other Winathian Lightning Bug have the power to think and communicate! plus I can fly and my zap is quite painful … and I
can get into small places”
Suddenly he falls to the floor Ayla and Garth look at each other
“Got his powers from me on Winath? Then made it from Winith … all the way here to Earth?” Garth asks.
Ayla nods “Poor Thing. Guess he didn’t know Winath Lightning Bugs only have a year long life
cycle” she says sadly, sweeping him into a dustpan.

ZomBoy
George A. Russo
from Nzambi in the Necropolis system. Also called Necro IV. Necro IV is populated by zombies.
ZomBoy can take an extreme amount of damage, he is immune to pain, immune to diseases,
can’t die – unless his brain takes damage.
Detached limbs can still function … and with time be reattached.
Has excellent night vision.
but he is slow, stinks, and is considered to have a horrific appearance to most sentient life forms.
George wants to prove not all of Nzambi’s population are the horror stories they are said to be.
ZomBoy likes rare meat and brains particularly. But doesn’t have to kill to get them.
On Nzambi, there are cults of Zombie lovers who willingly have sex with Nzombis and sacrifice
themselfs.
There are also condemed prisoners and terminally ill patients sent or come to Nzambi.
Nzambi is NOT a UF planet due to the debates over the nature of
this race of its inhabitants

Cliff(125), I can’t tell if when you mentioned “Jason Drake aka Robin” you were trying to invent a Robin that does not actually exist or if you were trying to state a fact. If it is the latter, there was no Jason Drake, there was Jason Todd and Tim Drake, who both happened to be Robin AND Red Robin at some point or another.
Sorry if this sounds kind of mean, it was not meant that way. Also, I am very defensive of Tim Drake because he is my favorite comic book character in the history of forever 🙂
Zaheelee(127) It was a typo. I do know better, but trying to remember the LSH Reject’s mixed name I wrote the wrong name of his ancester Tim Drake. Sorry.

Temm Blor, from the planet Tectos, has the power to create and control earthquakes and project ‘seismic blasts’ and ‘seismic shields’.

OK, here goes my last one.
Renn Sohrad is a brilliant scientist from planet Bollius X. He has achieved recognition as an authority in cybernetics and technology. At one point, he travelled to Grenda, a planet populated and ruled by robots, in order to perform some research for his work. Unfortunately, his ship crashed and his life was in danger. The Grendans saved his life by performing an emergency surgery which required the implantation of nanites that reformed his body. As a result, his life was saved, but as a side effect of the nanites in his body, he became a man/machine hybrid. He returned to Earth and asked for induction to the Legion of Super-Heroes. He adopted the name Techno Lad. His body is imprinted with nanite technology that enables him to interact and control any kind of machine or computer. He uses a mechanized wheelchair to move and support his nanitized body. Aside from these abilities, he is a brilliant scientist and researcher.

(Oh, by the way, Imp, very original! Temm Blor is an aliteration of the word “temblor” which is the spanish word for earthquake. VERY COOL!)

corona lad pre-lighting up,
he’s capable of becoming white hot. Don’t know the scientific temps for that but it’s at least the second hottest in the universe, he can fly, and like the staples of the legion, space travel is something he can do also.

@McKnight57(50): Thank you! Lepus is one of those characters that I enjoyed writing the backstory. I admit that if I get too involved in the story, my actual design tends to be basic. Likewise, if I go heavy into the design, the story tends to be brief. It’s a trade-off where I emphasize creativity. ;9
@William A. Peterson(74): Fair point. In the spirit of a hero with in-born super powers, I present…

I’ve been a fan of the LSH since their first appearance, which I suppose tells you something about my age. My entry tries to capture a little of the look of the 50’s: aliens who were just humans with a different skin color, space helmet globes, ala Space Ranger and Cosmic Boy, but updated a little.
http://www.eldacur.com/~brons/Comics/Brons-SpaceGirl.png
She is Karna B’rwon, aka Space Girl. Evolved among a race of asteroid dwellers, she can live in space, but earth’s atmosphere is toxic to her. She can absorb any form of energy and survive in pressures from zero to greater than the deepest seas. This renders her invulnerable to all energy weapons, and hand carried kinetic weapons. The absorbed energy nourishes her and allows her to fly.
Glamorous and beautiful, she cannot touch or be touched by anyone who requires an atmosphere. On Earth, or any inhabited planet she has to wear a protect suit–later a forcefield created by Brainy–and space helmet. She often comes off as cold, stand-offish — untouchable.
ElectroLass: Hooray… insomnia…

@Brons(50): Nice job with Space Girl! Great costume and the auras complement the scene well. Backstory explains her powers and insight into her personality. Think we have our winner.

This is Dead Boy, a fifteen year old formerly known as Jason Williams. Jason was your average teen who through an unfortunate accident was killed. Only two months later he was mysteriously restored to life and granted above-human toughness and strength, along with psychic abilities. Confounded by he new life he joined the subs for the Legion to better understand his powers and find the truth of his return to life.

Nice to be back after some brief connectivity issues 🙂
Here’s my entries:
1) Fission Lad
http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l607/DiCicatriz/HM%20Contests/DiCicatriz-FissionLad.png
Aeon Solaris is one of a race of energy beings who evolved on the surface of a binary star. Like all members of his species, Aeon exists as a non-corporeal nuclear energy being capable of releasing the energy that makes up his form in widely destructive bursts. He wears a specially designed containment suit to control his energies and allow him to interact safely with terrestrial lifeforms. He joined the Legion after they saved his star system from total collapse.
2) Chrono Queen
http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l607/DiCicatriz/HM%20Contests/DiCicatriz-ChronoQueen.png
Qarina Yggzar is a member of the ruling council of an extra-dimensional colony. Generations ago, a group of scientists hailing from the 30th century were lost in a rogue dimensional rift. They found themselves lost in a dimensional void. With no way to return to their proper universe, the scientists paired off and eventually established a society founded on the principles of progress and scientific reasoning. The void existed on a highly accelerated timeline and thus while only a few years passed for the Legion, centuries passed within the void. Qarina was a member of a research group attempting to find a way out of the void. Her experiment was a success, but Qarina found herself stranded in the Legion universe. She continues to partially inhabit the accelerated timeline of her home universe and thus her reflexes, perceptions, and movements appear to move at super-speed. She aids the Legion in hopes that they can help her find her way home. Her superhuman speed lends itself to her already impatient attitude, and her origins from a highly advanced society beyond even the 30th century leads her to view most of her teammates condescendingly, thinking their technology and civilizations ‘primitive’.
3) Crush Kid
http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l607/DiCicatriz/HM%20Contests/DiCicatriz-CrushKid.png
Neb Mryl comes from a small planetoid nestled within a turbulent asteroid field. Like all inhabitants of his planet, Neb can manipulate gravity currents. Neb is particularly proficient in this talent and can create high intensity gravitational epicenters, drawing matter into focal points of his choosing. He aided the Legion in navigating through the asteroid field surrounding his home and was subsequently invited to apply as a member. He takes the name Crush Kid, noting his propensity to collapse structures in on themselves using his gravity sinks.
Here is my second and last entry.
Kris Oldowan is a member of the Athame race. The Athame all have great psychic potential and often are telepaths. Kris is different however, he can form his energy into psychic knives which knock out people when stabbed. Kris is a master knifes-man and being so is called Kid Abbatoir.

Luck Lad
Ty Che Fortuna.
Ty has the power over luck and chance
like the true Luck Lords from Ventura, immortal mystics garbed in green robes with a single large eyeball representing their head
While he heals rapidly and ages slowly he is not immortal as the Luck Lords are. He is dressed primarily in green although he wears tights not robes, and he looks like a normal humanoid having an actual head with blonde hair and a face with two green eyes, two ears, a nose and smiling mouth instead of a single large eye as a head making it doubtful he is a son of the Luck Lords, unless Luck was indeed on his side. He does have a large eye as an insignia on his chest.

I had no idea what to do for this one, so I made another comic. Not the best, but I was trying more for humor then for skill level. Although I know the layers for this one was close to 200 @_@
A small note on my lawyer: I notice that with Marvel and DC, red-heads tend to be favored (Jean Grey, Mary-Jane Watson, Rouge, Black Widow, Pepper Potts, ect) So I think the odds for Pretty Red-heads getting in are pretty high!

Prepare for Efficient German Justice! The Bavarian Disciplinarian came form Berlin, and He Came to win!

Great. Grüße K.
My second entry is a Greek super hero which i have created some time ago for my comic book which I am currently have been working on… I think he could easily be a Legionnaire… The character is called “Myrmidon”. This is the minimal version of the superhero who wears a half-torn Hellenic flag upon his chest and his armor is in ancient Greek style yet in a more modern way:
http://i861.photobucket.com/albums/ab175/KingSlaughter/Kingslaughter_Myrmidon-minimalversion.png
He fights against the deviant politicians-villains that have destroyed Greece by bringing the financial crisis into our country causing unemployment, increased crime waves and corruption, heavy taxation, and bloody protests…
His weapons are his energy spear and his force blades that project from his elbows, while he also possesses ultra strength and agility and shoots beams from the “M” on his forehead. Hitting his fists on the ground also cause sonic waves… His power boots can allow him to jump higher then a normal being as well…
So my last entry.
