30 Days of Scans Day 28 - Favorite Canonical Romance

So I have two favorite cannon romances and they both are from The Legion of Super-Heroes.

First up is Bouncing Boy and Triplicate Girl (Duo Damsel/Duplicate Damsel. The reason is because I though it was awesome. Bouncing Boy was the chubby kid who scored the hottie. And they worked. I hated the version that dated the three guys at once.

Next is Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl. I don't know why I like it. I just do.

	Despite being retconned I liked Violet/Lightning Lass. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 31 comments) (Show 31 comments)

Looks it. They're certainly not together in current continuity, and Ayla has been shown to be with, or have recently broken up with, Timber Wolf (who she was with before the 5 year jump)...and quite a bit of other stuff from even earlier than that has been retconned, so...

Chuck/Lu and Dawnie/Wildfire have also been broken up, apparently, but the latter is explicitly broken up, and gods only know what's going on with Chuck at all. Current Legion continuity is CRUEL to my favourite 'ships.

	As far as I can tell it was canon for just 'original' Legion and the first reboot introducing Valor. Other versions, no. sigh (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Yep, as of Zero Hour. That's when we lost Element Lad/Sean (formerly Shvaughn) Erin, too. Oh, and Winath stopped being nudist then, IIRC. These are all sad things. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Yay Vayla! I do hope those two get together in the current incarnation of the Legion. I also like Threeboot/Prime Brainy and Nura. Especially since the majority of the courtship occurred in Brainy's head. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	I was (and am) too old school to get much out of that pairing. :/ Also, I hear some fans raised holy Hell about Thom being Black, and I'm kind of glad I wasn't around for the uproar if it was true. I don't think it shows my fandom in a really good light. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Unless they explicitly say Ayla/Vi happened, I'm assuming it was retconned. Not being negative, but I don't want to get my hopes up too. lol (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	The Legion has so many awesome 'ships. GarthXImra, ChuckXLu, JeckieXVal, DawnstarXWildfire, ViXAyla (which interestingly lead to an awesome 'Elseworlds' annual), GimXYera... Element LadXShvaughn/Sean would have been awesome if there weren't so many levels of fail in the reveal of Sean. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Rokk & Lydda were always pretty awesome in the preboot Legion. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Heh, the Legion is a shipper's candy store. (Reply to this)

	I spent an unconscionable amount of money to get that RPG handbook second-hand. It was worth it. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	These two pairings. YES! Thanks to the Legion animated series, I became a Bouncing Boy fan and hey, if big man can get the hot girl, I'm all for it. It's a known fact, ladies love big man. :D (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Too bad that Element Lad/Monstress could never be. It would be nice to see the reverse just once somewhere in Comic Book Land. :/ (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	Awww! See, this is why I need to get into Legion of Superheroes! Love to see my big guys getting a little love (or, obviously, a lot of love). (Reply to this)

	The first image is adorable and nice choice. (Reply to this)

	In fairness, the ZH Imra and Comatosmic Boy manipulation was entirely unintentional, Imra didn't realise she was doing it until it was pointed out to her. The recent mindwipe case has much more unpleasant implications. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I know little about Legion romances, but I agree, BB and TG/DD are adorable together. Always nice to see a pairing where at least one side is not the typical movie star type. (Reply to this)

	I am a devout follower of the first Legion romance, and still the best! (Reply to this)

	The Legion has some truly great pairings, which just takes the space kids soap opera to glorious heights. My LSH OTP though has to be Jo/Tinya. Damn I love them, no matter what crazy 'boot we're on. (Reply to this)

	Interesting that Thom/Nura weren't mentioned. Thom was so needy in the original run. I'm leaning towards Val/Jeckie as my favorite. Two ultracompetent, constantly reliable characters in an ongoing relationship. Of course it was doomed. (Reply to this)
