I always found it kinda insulting the way readers chose Element Lad as the gay one (stereotype much?) but it was fan wank at its worst when it saw print.

"And you head that Roxxas killed Blok?" Yeah, pity, how 'bout that Venturan Moopsball game, though! Wacky!"<BR/><BR/>infinity 13307 wrote:<BR/><I>I've always doubted that even 30th Century science could create a pill (or injection or whatever Profem was supposed to be) that would completely alter one's anatomy in such a way.</I><BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, that cat was already out of the back with the Subs Special where they fought Stargrave. If Grandian Gender Reversal Germs can do it, it's hard to say that 31st century science couldn't replicate the result. (Unless you want to wipe that story, too.

That one always seemed too forced to me, that the Bierbaums wanted Element Lad to be gay as per Legion fandom speculation (Was that based on anything other than his original pink and white costume and his lack of a steady girlfriend during the early days?), and so obviously Shvaughn must have once been a guy or else Jan wouldn't have found attraction. Besides, I've always doubted that even 30th Century science could create a pill (or injection or whatever Profem was supposed to be) that would completely alter one's anatomy in such a way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-2843560296047622432008-06-02T14:42:00.000-05:002008-06-02T14:42:00.000-05:00well you can put that proty-garth story in its pla...well you can put that proty-garth story in its place in legion history as being valid only in the Glorith-Verse.
