    Default Choose 7 or 8 Legionnaires to guest in another book

    During the 1970s especially, it was not unusual for a handful of members of the Legion of Super Heroes to guest star in books in the 20th century (Justice League of America, Brave And The Bold, DC Comics Presents, Superman, etc...)

    The guests from LSH usually consisted of 7 or 8 members. So, pick 7 or 8 of your favorite Legionnaires to guest star in a 21st century book. Name the book and even give a plot-line if you like.

    Titans

    Timber Wolf (Levitz run)
    Shadow Lass (Levitz run)
    Wildfire (Levitz run)
    Dawnstar (Levitz run)
    Star Boy (Levitz run)
    Kid Quantum (DnA run)
    Mon-El (Levitz run)
    White Witch (Levitz run)

    The Levitz Legion travel to the 21st Century in search of a time anomaly, which turns out to be a displaced Kid Quantum.
    She's been taken in by Brother Blood and the Legion find they need the Titans to help them free her and fix the timeline.
    Once it's all done, they discover that Kid Quantum had been duplicated by time fixing itself and they take her back to the 31st Century as a new member.

    that intrigues me because of the various interactions that could occur. White Witch and Raven have very different magical backgrounds, for instance, and both Victor and Drake have that 'I've lost my humanity' angst going on. I'd also want to see Mon-El and Conner interact, if Conner was a member of the Titans group you had in mind. Dawnstar and Starfire both have a sort of 'space princess' (yes, yes, Dawnstar is hardly a 'princess,' but she's got enough attitude and haughter for one!) vibe going on, but radically different personalities, which is fun. (Shadow Lass and Starfire are perhaps more alike, with that 'warrior space princess' vibe going on.)

    (Levitz era with a few two-boot characters)
    - WILDFIRE
    - Dawnstar
    - XS
    - Ultra Boy (actually, I might like the two-boot version a bit more)
    - Phantom Girl
    - Shadow Lass (leader)
    - Gates
    - Brainiac-5 (despite being overused, he's just so useful!)

    They'd guest star in JSA for some story about time-shenanigans involving Mordru of both eras.

    Ooh, Mordru sending magical power back in time to amp up his power in the past could be funky! He seems really weak in some encounter in the Legion's time, but that's because he's trying to cheat the game by sending most of his power back to the past, and if past-Mordru succeeds in conquering the world before there ever was a Legion... mwa-ha-ha!

    But, of course, the dark Mordru-ruled future is at risk because the Legion sent a group back to stop him in the past! Just when future Mordru is measuring the drapes for his new throne-room on Earth, it all goes pear-shaped. And there's a legit reason why the obvious Legionnaires like White Witch and Mon-El can't be present on the team sent into the past, because Mordru will be expecting them on the team to fight his (distraction!) future-self, while past-him seizes the prize. If the mighty Mordru makes a big splash, and the Legion doesn't send their best mystic, and heaviest hitter, he'll know something's up! (Another reason the Legion might feel the need to work with Legions of Other Worlds, with folk like XS and Gates, so that the 'past team' can include Legionnaires that Mordru will never expect, or miss, when they don't show up for his big distraction. Newish Legionnaires like Chameleon Girl, Dragonwing, Night Girl, etc. could also be a good choice for such a 'under the radar' team, along with characters from other boots like Kid Quantum or Dragonwing. People that Mordru wouldn't miss. And his ego is big (and fragile) enough, that he'd notice if a bunch of Legionnaires didn't bother to show up for a clash with the mighty Mordru!)

    DREAM GIRL

    PRINCESS PROJECTRA
    SATURN GIRL
    SHADOW LASS
    SHRINKING VIOLET

    Mordru is on the rampage in the 21st century. Dream Girl has a premonition that the only way to defeat him is to do so in the past.
    But there’s a time storm going on. The Time Trapper also informs Mordru that the Legionaries are headed back to the past.
    As a result, the ladies have to lay low, and spend some time on Paradise Island with Wonder Woman.
    As they formulate their plan, a number of the Espionage Squad pair up with members of the JSA for an in-and-our team-up.
    But they’re only partially successful in obtaining the info they need, which means they have to relocate to the big city and adopt fake identities.
    The artifact that they’re looking actually turns out to be a jewel, one that is going on display at a massive museum gala that night.
    Amid champagne (Jeckie gets a little tipsy!), ball gowns, Big Band music and Van Goghs, the Legion, Wonder Woman and the JSA have a blowout battle with Mordru...ending in their ultimate triumph!
