OK it's tough to pick just one but for me it would be Ultra Boy.

Lightning Lad was my first favorite due to Dave Cockrum's AWESOME costume design and Timber Wolf was COOL and a very, very close second but Ultra Boy for me was too cool!

Superboy 137 by Jim Starlin where Ultra Boy is framed for murder is one of my favorite books of all time.

Bouncing Boy, without a doubt. A fat guy who can fight evil and is married to a hot girl who can become twins/triplets.

My favorite Legionnaire is the fictitious "Ear-Fall-Off Floyd," created in parody by Mercy Van Vlack and the great Legion fandom of the early seventies.

"Hey, Floyd, your ears have fallen off!"

"What?"

You know, that kind of thing.

I can't pick just one.

1 Wildfire.

2 Shadow Lass\Umbra

Heh, I never considered Bouncing Boy in quite that way before...guess that's why he always has a smile on his face!

Personally, my favorite legionairre would be Ultra Boy. Just because.

Mon-El

That's my childhood gone the way of Earth_2!

I can still remeber the story "Superboy's Big Brother", and Mon-El's later rescue by the Legion.

I never understood why the Legion didn't go back in time and rescue him from the Phantom Zone earlier, instead of waiting for 1000 years, though.

I did like the Giffen "adult Legion" series, however, despite everything; and they did give Mon-El a suitable send-off when he destroyed the Time Trapper at the price of loosing his own history.

Element Lad.

Matter Eater Lad

It's hard to pick just one!
1. Timber Wolf
2. Shadow Lass
3. StarBoy
4. Dream Girl
5. Wildfire
6. Dawnstar

I guess in that order...

Edited to include: These are during the Levitz/Giffen/Jurgens era...

If I had to be serious, I would say:

1. Element Lad
2. Wildfire
3. Colossal Boy
4. Lightning Lad (yes that costume is too cool!)

Used to like Wildstar.

Now I kinda like Brainy.

Timber Wolf (Mike Grell version)

The earliest LSH story I can recall, is the intro of Widfire (at the time called Erg). Guess I'd have to go with that.

~Bob

It really is tough to pick just one:

1) Cosmic Boy
2) Invisible Kid (original)
3) Princess Projectra
4) Ultra Boy
5) Duo Damsel

I find it hard to believe that no one has said Tyroc yet.

I've been a fan of the Legion for as long as I can remember and I always thing of them as a group. To break it down to one, I'd have to single out the guy who started it all... Superboy.

Monel - Any guy that can go toe to toe wit the Time Trapper gets my vote.

Earth-1 era - Dawnstar, Wildfire and Superboy
Post Crisis/Zero-Hour/Breakfast - M'onel, Brainiac 5 and Saturn Girl

Monel. The guy was A MAN when most of the others were boys. I liked his pragmatism, especially in the older issues when Shooter was writing him (sorry JB). He just had an edge that Superboy didn't.

You are a god among insects. Never let anyone tell you different.

Gotta go with the original three, Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad, plus Ultra Boy. Can't narrow it down any more than that.

Bill

While Supergirl and Superboy are among my all time favorite superheroes, I don't really think of them as 'of the Legion' because they're both so much bigger than being part of a team (even though they were excellent as part of a team).

Having said that, I'd have to say SUN-BOY!
Sun-Boy! Sun-Boy! Sun-Boy! Sun-Boy!

1. Mon-El
2. Wildstar
3. Ultra-Boy
4. Timberwolf
5. Colossal-Boy

My favorite would be Colossal Boy, but I really liked Phantom Girl and Triplicate Girl. Chameleon Boy, the leader of the Espionage Squad was cool.

And I have Superboy #98 in my collection because Ultra Boy had to think to make his powers more effective.

I don't get too much into the Legion, but I was always sorta fond of Brankiac 5.

Stephen

Ultra Boy

I've always been fond of super-powers that have rules and limitations. The more specific the power, the better I like it.

1. Timberwolf
2. Wildfire
3. Dawnstar
4. Karate Kid
5. Princess Projectra
6. Saturn Girl
7. Lightning Lad

Yvonne

Hey how'd he get in!??

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else."- Teddy Roosevelt

I was always a Mon-El fan. Incidentally, I never liked the flesh-baring Cosmic Boy costume.

particularly during the Giffen Run.

David

Probably Wildfire, due to his tragic love affair with Dawnstar. He's insecure because he feels he can never really love Dawnstar like a man; he's an energy being in a containment suit.

One of my favorite characters from the Levitz-Giffen run.

-Steve

For the nature of the character: Brainiac 5. I love the socially awkward genius.

For the name: Star Boy. I'm Keller, he's Kallor. And I also love that Starfield costume. One of the best costumes in the history of comic book hero-dom.

Wildfire.

Dream Girl too. Hubba hubba.

While I haven't been a huge fan of how he's been handled during the current series, I still have to say that Cosmic Boy is my favorite Legionnaire.

Never been a huge fan of The Legion. Don't know why. They just never "clicked" with me. That said, I read "The Great Darkness Saga" when it came out oh so many years ago and became a fan of the original Wildfire with this issue:





Matt Reed

Pre-ZH Wildfire was the first to come to mind, but it's a tough call.

For the current team, I would say Kinetix, but I didn't like what Abnett and Lanning did to her. For now I'd say Braniac 5.

I totally dug the Legion of Substitute Heroes. Infectious Lass, Porcupine Pete and Stone Boy were the coolest.

Insert Clever Signature here!

Wildfire and Timberwolf.

1) Timber Wolf
2) Ultra Boy
3) Wildfire
4) Karate Kid
5) Supergirl (I would really have liked to have seen Supergirl play as prominent a role in the Legion (over the long-term) as Superboy, even better would have been to have the series primarily be a Supergirl series. Her own silver-age stories left much to be desired.

I have to agree with Eric Lund here, Superboy 237 was an Ultra Boy showcase, one of my all-time favorites. Ultra Boy was always my favorite because he had to think about which one of his powers he was going to use. Superboy 205 also had a great Ultra Boy story where he was being injected with a "madness" drug in order to cover for the mysterious "Master," who was about to ship all the Legionnaires off to another world where he was going to enslave them and breed them into a master race. Great stuff!

<<can't remember PB's real name>>

Brek Bannin?

I'm surprised that no one has even mentioned Proto yet - after his heroic sacrifice that is the the thanks he/she/it gets?

So naturally I'm compelled to stand my ground when I side with the others in saying the original Wildfire. I not only liked his tragic romance with Dawnstar, but he also went through a suit every two issues. Talk about giving it your all.

Gotta be Mon-El. This has to be my all-time favorite cover, by anybody, ever:



I'm hoping they come to their senses and put him back in his old costume soon. It looked tough.

That said, my second choice would be Blok. He was the perfect straight man to Timber Wolf.

Edited to fix poor grammar. Poor, poor grammar.

Of the classic Legion; Chameleon Boy, Star Boy and Supergirl have always been favorites of mine, and Sensor Girl quickly joined them when she was introdused.



In the post-Zero Hour Legion it's XS, Gates and Shikari that ranks among my favorites.

<<I'm surprised that no one has even mentioned Proto yet - after his heroic sacrifice that is the the thanks he/she/it gets?>>

If you really want to thank it, you can remember his name was Proty. Your misspelling of his name is an insult to sentient protoplasmic metamorphs across the galaxy.

Proty II, on the other hand, was an utter kneebiter.

Curse you Ray Brady! My slight of (text) character had almost gone unnoticed, until your eagle-like vision uncovered my error! Lucifer's beard, you will rue the day!

Seriously, thanks Ray - I hadn't caught that til after I posted and was thinking about it while driving to work. Ack! Proty was the one with the sacrifice, Proty 2 was a cheap knock-off, and Proto was a figment of my imagination... a crazy figment!
