    I really first started reading the Legion with the 5YL series, and he was my immediate favorite there. Going back and buying all the back-issues, I realized how far Giffen had taken him from the Levitz version and honestly, I am glad that most iterations of Jo have followed the TMK version more. He has been one of my favs since.

    Another vote for Ultra Boy as favourite Legionnaire here. I first started reading the Legion regularly during the Grimbor the Chainsman saga, where Jo had swapped minds with Superboy, and I found his concept interesting; the 5YL solidified him into being my favourite.

    I used a ridiculous amount of interlac for stuff in HS.

    While I have about 10 or so Legionnaires that I really dig, WILDFIRE is by far my favorite and one of my Top 10 DC heroes in general. Drake is my boy.

    That's awesome!

    I'll often pull up a Klingon translator and speak in Klingon in game chats.

    I'm also a bit picky on their looks. At least the guys.
    The girls don't seem to go through the same degree of drastic changes.

    Timber Wolf - human looking
    Star Boy - beard
    Wildfire - the suit

    Even though Timber Wolf came first, he was retconned later to kinda sorta look and act like a certain ornery and occasionally vicious runt of a Canadian mutant. At least that's how I saw the change.

    Yeah, I came in after he had his operation.
    Terry Shoemaker's rendition of him in Tales of the Legion #319 And Dan Jurgens in #320 were the ones that clicked for me.





    Apparently, all the members that became my favorites were heavily featured between Tales of the Legion #316 (my first issue) and #325 (the last non-reprint issue sold on newsstands).

    Great post - I really liked Shoemaker on the Legion and felt he could have been one of the All-time greats on the title if he'd had a more lengthy run. (was that Kesel as the inker? They worked really well together)

    Almost but not quite Legion: Nightcrawler & Storm



    You can read all about how two of the most popular X-Men almost became Legion characters here.
