    If that is the case then why take on a humanoid apperence at all?

    OC as in original cast?
    Considering that Bendis is incapable of writing more than two or three character types, can you imagine how 34 interchangable characters are going to sound? I really fear for this.

    The dialogue might be kind of hilarious too, though .

    Bendis makes everyone talk like Spider-Man, and he makes Spider-Man talk like a character who is a parody of spider-man.

    He says 34, but he'll narrow it down to his five or ten favorites, and just have the others show up when they're needed.

    I can imagine. I actually felt the same way. Cockrum is my all-time favorite Legion artist, despite such a short run.

    Well... at least that would be a change from Levitz's 2010 run, where it was mostly "Earth-Man and his Amazing Frenemies".

    I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt, and hope he's enough of a Legion fan and a writer to have read Levitz's Paradigm for handling large casts of characters.

    I wouldn't be surprised if a good deal of the 34 are on background duty, to be honest.

    I don't know the Legion of Superheroes from a hole in the ground. That said, I have the same question now that I did when Bendis was Mr. Marvel... does this man ever sleep?

    I actually loved the voice he gave Superman early in his run. He had a sense of humor but it wasn’t quip-y, like say Spider-Man. He didn’t make jokes at people’s expense (maybe Batman’s). He was even kinda self deprecating, which worked to show Superman’s humble side. At the same time he was very confident in dangerous situations. I thought Bendis found a great balance. Almost a more modern version of Christopher Reeves’ Superman.

    Definitely. He really defined the team's look, in a short time, and I still think of the strange flourishes he would put on some of the costumes (particularly Violets and Projectras) as super-cool, when so many other heroes had the solid colors going on. It was almost like he was deliberately making them harder to draw, by putting designs and patterns on them, and I totally loved it.

    I still wish some of his other characters had made it into the Legion, like Nightcrawler (who he later introduced to the X-Men, instead), or Belladonna or Trio (a Carggite whose three bodies had three different super-powers, as Hellion, Vixen and Spitfire!).

    I don't mind that. I like the idea of the majority of members not being active all the time -- and then going active as needed. That doesn't mean a character should not appear in a story just because he/she isn't part of a mission. I love seeing Legionnaires in downtime -- interacting with each other. But I don't think we need to see what each of the 34 in every issue.

    My cynical thought: They are setting this in the 32nd century as a safety net. If it fails, and/or people don't buy into the Bendis interpretation of the Legion, they can abandon this reboot and say something like, "Meanwhile, back in the early 31st century with the Legion we all know..."
