And by "newer characters", you mean the aformentioned characters from the EIGHTIES, instead of a TRULY newer character like, say, XS, the character that Levitz has already demonstrated that he doesn't like...

Nah, I'm talking about Harmonia Li and Dragonwing, two completely new characters. I don't know why Levitz doesn't use XS, but no one can say that the guy isn't using new characters, as well as diverse ones.

Agreed.

And when the time is right for XS, she'll be back. Besides - why bog down a book trying to explain how she can exist with all the changes Flashpoint made to the 21 Century anyway.

Okay, My bad. I got Harmonia confused with that Doctor Chaser woman that seemed to be wanting to get in Brainy's coveralls.

Still, that's only two Legionaires who are totally new and not related to or have the powers of previous characters.

(Somebody quote me here so Amoebas can see this)

You do realize Earth Man was introduced in the 1976 as Absorbancy Boy, don't you?

And there is a real good chance Glorith is the Glorith we all know and love from the FYG. (Don't give me they look different. Mysa looks different now than when she first appeared. Magic can do that in the 31st century)

As for Chemical Kid, he's a p!$$-poor knockoff of Chemical King.

That's 3-5 who are either were created in the past, or have connections to another character. Color me unimpressed. By either you or Levitz.

And Dragonwing is basically Fire Lad as a Chinese girl. So it's more like 4-5 unoriginal characters.

Which will probably be when Geoff Johns wants her to be back.

Gladly, as I was about to say some of what you said, but in a snarkier manner. :wink:

Chemical KID is supposed to be "new" given the blatant precedent of Chemical KING?? Seriously?! :smt011

Not to mention she seems like an updated DragonMAGE...

It's like Leivtz polymorphed Fire Lad and Dragonmage, and then gave the combined loser a sex change.
