I have one overriding reaction to the Titans/Legion Special.

[greenygal]

Lyle! Lyle!! LYLE!!! Waid picked Invisible Kid for the team! He's going to be in the new book! Right from the beginning! Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Mark! And he gets actual focus here! With a potentially angsty background for me to exploit! Yeah!

And there's Brainy! He's got a flight ring! He's out there with the rest of the team! He's not going to be sidelined all the time because he's not an official member! *dancing with glee* Let me say this with real feeling: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

(Why, yes, all Legion fans are crazy. Why do you ask?)

(Why, yes, all Legion fans are crazy. Why do you ask?)

*blinks innocently*

You mean there's more than one?

*hides*

*narrows eyes* Are you MOCKING the Legion?!

[odditycollector.livejournal.com]

And so what if I am?

Fortunately for you, Legion fans are not allowed to go armed. We are, however, allowed access to multi-labs. Prepare to meet your highly technological doom. (Presuming I don't blow the place up first.)

*whistles theme song off key. Except for, you know, NO theme song*

Hey, who needs a theme song when you have a battlecry?

Prepare to meet your highly technological doom.

I'm... not that worried, strangely. Can you actually *read* the labels in the lab, or do you plan on just pushing buttons at random?

Hey, who needs a theme song when you have a battlecry?
Yes, but it is a *lame* battlecry.

Can you actually *read* the labels in the lab, or do you plan on just pushing buttons at random?

It's entirely possible that pushing buttons at random will enact my terrible revenge. I concede, however, that it does rather raise the odds of blowing the lab up. Or releasing a homicidal sentient computer that will take over the planet. (And then wouldn't you be sorry?)

I have a secret weapon, however; I will be really nice to Brainy, and then take advantage of his shock to get him to help me with my terrible revenge. (Okay, as a back-up plan I will refuse to leave the lab until he helps me, and I will sing loudly and in a distracting fashion. One or the other should work.)

Yes, but it is a *lame* battlecry.

*shudders dramatically* Is there no end to your blasphemies?!

It's entirely possible that pushing buttons at random will enact my terrible revenge.
Last week in stats, we calculated the odds of passing a four question multiple choice exam at random. So, in summary, yes. Entirely possible.

(And then wouldn't you be sorry?)
*grins* Nope. I'd be completely unaffected and let the future people deal with it. And you, of course, as you'd be stuck in the middle of the whole thing.

*much snickering* Do you think he would even *notice* the difference between your two nefarious plots?

And, also?

and I will sing loudly and in a distracting fashion

I'm just gonna remind you of how he *does* know which button is labelled highly technological doom.

*shudders dramatically* Is there no end to your blasphemies?!
Look. Xena has a cool battlecry. The Legionaires? Don't. I'm just *saying*, is all.

See? You should fear me in the multi-lab. *looks fearsome*

*grins* Nope. I'd be completely unaffected and let the future people deal with it. And you, of course, as you'd be stuck in the middle of the whole thing.

It suddenly occurs to me that I am Lori Morning in this scenario. Only taller. It's kind of a disturbing thought, actually. Maybe I could be Danielle Foccart instead.

*much snickering* Do you think he would even *notice* the difference between your two nefarious plots?

Depends on how distracted he was and how annoying my niceness was. I wouldn't think I'd have to go overboard, though; even "please" and "thank you" seem to be terra incognita for the boy (both in the giving and the receiving). (Actually, what he seems to respond best to is "I'll keep everyone else from bothering you," but I'm not sure what I can do about that besides telling him to lock his door, and even that won't stop a number of his teammates.)

I suppose I could also wear a blond wig. A little tacky, but effective.

I'm just gonna remind you of how he *does* know which button is labelled highly technological doom.

I'm not worried. If Brainy has refrained from inflicting highly technological doom on Lyle, Zoe, Imra, Gates, and Lori--to name a few--I figure I'm safe. There is some chance he'll invent earplugs, however.

Look. Xena has a cool battlecry. The Legionaires? Don't. I'm just *saying*, is all.

*shakes head sadly* You are a poor deluded soul, and I will pray for you while I enact my terrible revenge.

*looks blank*

even "please" and "thank you" seem to be terra incognita for the boy
Carmen: Can you please be the instrument of my terrible revenge? Pleeeeze?
Brainy: Why would I want to do that?
Carmen: Because I'm asking you *nicely.*
Brainy: Are you... threatening me?

Because I have that conversation with my siblings all the time, and that is *always* how it goes.

I suppose I could also wear a blond wig. A little tacky, but effective.
Poor Querl. The girls just want him for his brain... And I don't really think you need to worry about the earplugs. If he didn't on some level really enjoy being cranky at people, I'm sure he would have invented a better lock.

*shakes head sadly* You are a poor deluded soul, and I will pray for you while I enact my terrible revenge.
*grins* You'd make an awesome terrible somewhat interesting supervillian.

Also:

And there's Brainy! He's got a flight ring! He's out there with the rest of the team!

I'm sorry, but he has *wires* sticking out of his *neck*.

I refuse to take anyone seriously if they have wires sticking out of their neck.

yayyyyys!~!!!!!!!!!!

I'm more excited about Phantom Girl in bell bottoms again.

[greenygal.livejournal.com]

While not quite where I would have gone with that design, I thought it worked surprisingly well. Nura could use some help, though.
