The Legion of Super Heroes

[ultraboy]

Okay, before I say anything else! I had....NO idea there was another heroe out there named Ultraboy. And he's got somewhat similar powers to the one I thought up. (only mine is cooler, lol.)

Now that that's out of the way, I'll be posting CAD's for the Legion of Super Heroes, which if you don't know, are the super heroes in the future of the DC universe. I'm basing these write-ups off of like the first 10 or so issues of the comic. Some things I noticed:

1) they're all like....little kids! They're all like 14 and 15 years old, but they're out there saving the world, lol.
2) They try and make them look older in later issues, by turning up the detail; sorta what they did with X-men and Wolverine. Just sort of sneaking away from the original age they'd designated.
3)They killed the black guy off first! Lol. It's true; like when they added new members to the team, the black guy was the first to get the axe. XD
4)The writing for the series was good on and off, but it gets like REALLY good towards the end of those first 10 issues, I think. But they used like 3 writers for this project--so unfair!

Background:


NOTE: In the comic, you can tell that Invisible Kid is of higher intelligence, because he assists Brainac in his lab. It seems that Braniac is smarter than Lyle. However, Lyle actually seems more creative than Brainac, suggesting he has a higher level of genius; while Brainiac simply has more knowledge, training, and can think more like a computer. Lyle seems to lack an interest in science or the pursuit of knowledge, which makes him LOOK less intelligent than Brainiac.

looks good

[chaosbringer]

That is so not how intelligence works. Intelligence is one's ability to absorb, retain, and process information which is based on one's math, memory, logic, and language skills, not creativity! If that were the case every artist, actress, and musician would have an INT score equal to their action number.

[aegis]

I believe int is more like SAT scores where actions are like specialities

[MadCap]

Shouldn't Brainiac's INT score be in the 9, probably 10 region? Think he is about a 'level 12 intelligence', just like the robot brainiacs, which is a super computer with all the scientific knowledge of the planet Krypton or something like that.

Think current Earth tech is a 'level 6', with 31st century Earth tech being 'level 8'. I think Lex Luthor has a 'level 9 intelligence'.

So a INT score of 5 seems really low.

Yea, Giving Brainiac 5 a 5 in intelegence of 5 is pretty inaccurate. You have to remember, he figured out how to enlarge Candor back to it's origional size. That people had been trying to do for YEARS. Brainiac 5 is at least on the same level as HAnk Pym when it comes to robotics. Just because his name is Brainiac 5 doesn't mean he has a 5 in intel, it just means he was the fith model

[Jet]

To be honest, Brainiac 5 seems like exception to rule "nobody can have int of 10" - he of all people, deserves it.

[Deleted]

He Really does, he's my favorite Leagonier, but there is at least one character I can think does have an INT of 10. The High Evolutionary in the Avengers guid. Isn't his INT 10? I dont' have my book on me

Nope, 9.

[chaosbringer]

Doop actually has INT 10, but I agree, there should be an unwritten rule that no one else should have INT 10.(Except Brainie.)

[WildKnight]

Um... aside from being stated to have "beyond level 12 intellect", Brainiac 5 is outright stated in numerous sources to be THE smartest being in the history of the DC Universe. Even years "later" in DC One Million, he's cited by "future" (from the Legionaire's standpoint) beings as one of the greatest intellects of all time.

There it is. The Jury is unanimous. Brainiac should have INT 10. Huge round of applause guys.

Mother Brainiac must be so proud of her child genius right now.

;D

Wasn't Brainiac 5's mother evil?

Was she?

I'm not too sure now. Their histories have been continuity rebooted/retconned so often I lost track.

I recall in one continuity he is a clone.

MadCap

[WildKnight]

Hrmmm... yeah I forgot they just recently rebooted the continuity again. I think that in at least one incarnation, Brainie had a Mommy who was eeeeeeeeevil.
