Saturn Queen
"I’m from the planet Saturn, where there has been no crime at all for centuries, and where everyone can perform amazing mental feats! One day, when I traveled to Earth, I felt a sudden desire to outwit the law with my powers of super-hypnotism, and so I joined the Legion of Super-Villains!"

Motivation (Evil)- Saturnians usually don't have crime on their homeworld, but Eve suddenly got the idea to use her powers to commit treacherous acts when on Earth.
Responsibility (Sees Everyone as Deviant)- Eve looks into people's minds to find their darkest desires- she believes that all people are inherently corrupt and horrible.
Total: Abilities: 56 / Skills: 30--15 / Advantages: 3 / Powers: 67 / Defenses: 17 (157)
-Debuting with the trio of the initial Legion of Super-Villains members as an adult in the future (well, the future OF the future), Saturn Queen turned evil as soon as she went to Earth, which had more crime than the telepathic world of Saturn's Moon. Saturn Queen was turned good thanks to the energy given off by the rings of Saturn, which had always prevented evil (the sixties were WEEEEIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDD), and she was never really used in the "modern-day" Legion stories, unlike Lightning Lord & Cosmic King. She reappears having married Matter-Eater Lad (!!!), and is a good guy.
-She gets more "out of Legion" use, showing up in a Batman/Superman arc (where she and the other two LOSV founders take control of Bruce & Clark at a young age and set up a brutal dictatorship under their power), and a Supergirl one. Screw-ups in continuity from Infinite Crisis bring back her reality (the Batman/Superman Alternate Future one), and she brainwashes Ultraman into thinking she's his mother. Here, they form another dictatorship on Kandor, but Supergirl & Power Girl wipe them out, creating a revolution that likely kills the two of them.
-An evil version reappears in Superboy-Prime's Legion of Super-Villains, exposing the darkest desires of her victims. She attacks a Saturn Girl, but is stomped by the other two (this being Legion of Three Worlds and all). She later escapes the prison world of Takron-Galtos, and creates another dictatorship.
-She's one of the more powerful of DC's psionics, and actually among their very few female psionics- Marvel generally has a LOT more of those.
-More powerful than Saturn Girl or Esper Lass, Saturn Queen is a PL 12 Psionic who can hurt, stun or control just about anyone eventually (+12 versus most Legionnaire's Will Saves hitting around +6 to +8 most of the time), though she still has that most classic of Psionic weaknesses- physical vulnerability. +3 Toughness is nothing to brag about, and almost any superhero can take her out with one shot. This is why she usually sends one or two Mind-Controlled characters to run interference, or control things from behind the scenes (where her Deception is high enough to easily lead from the rear).

I liked the Superman/Batman issues where the trio from the LSV came back and took over Bats/Supes lives.

Total: Abilities: 24 / Skills: 14--7 / Advantages: 9 / Powers: 97 / Defenses: 15 (152)
-Lazon is an impatient guy who can turn into Living Energy and Blast away at people, but doesn't get a whole lot of characterization. He's sort of a Sunfire-type, being a Flying Blaster. In the appearances I have, he's a strict background guy, and chases around Dawnstar at one point, only catching the faster Fanservicey Legionnaire when she's distracted by Wildfire's suit erupting after Magno Lad threw a piece of metal into it. I'm not sure if he can go Insubstantial (you'd think a dude made of light COULD), because he got caught by a punch to the face by Ultra-Boy once, but I'm not sure.

-Tyr is a Galactic Warlord running a planet-sized war machine (which sounds TOTALLY AWESOME, yet never earned him "Major Villain Status" somehow), and brainwashed Timber Wolf into acting as a traitor to the Legion. However, he got figured out and beaten, and he was basically used as a generic background hot-headed figure in the Eye For An Eye LOSV story. He looks REALLY funny, sporting a big mohawk, moustache, red skin, and thigh-high boots, in addition to his Sci-Fi Gun. He, Hunter & Silver Slasher are all wiped out simultaneously when Ayla Ranzz gets her "Lightning Lass" powers back, blowing up the piloting console of Tyr's ship.
-He's PL 10 by virtue of being a great hand-to-hand fighter, and wielding a powerful Blaster that can see behind him and stuff (though "firing independently" could almost mean it was using a Reaction Damage effect, but I never saw him as anything other than a generic Blaster, really). Plus he can mess with people's minds and the gun can fly off.

Re: Jab's Builds! (Wildfire! Dawnstar! Legion Rejects! Nemesis Kid!)
I swear I've seen a pic or face like this somewhere before. Is this based off of a celebrity or something? Because I've never seen her look like this, and I was like "DURRRRRRRRRRRRR, girl PRETTY...".Batgirl III wrote: ↑Tue May 01, 2018 11:42 pm

It occurs to me the only Saturn Queen story I've ever read was that Batman/Superman one (which I didn't even really like), so I was mostly aware of her from Silver Age costumes. But looking through her ComicVine pics... yeah, the lady gives off a hell of a MILF vibe...

Her face kind of reminds me of Bianca Beauchamp. A name you should definitely not Google while at work.
