Legion Of Superheroes: Wildfire, The Man Without A Body
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лис 2024
- The Legion Of Superheroes have a huge membership, so it's impossible to cover everyone in a single video. I am going to do some occasional spotlight videos on different LOSH characters, topics, and storylines. This first one is about Drake Burroughs, better known as Wildfire who was leader of the Legion for awhile (as well as Legion Lost). He continues to be one of DC comics most interesting characters, and I hope this video explains why.

Lovely! Wildfire is my 2nd favorite (after Timber Wolf). I'll watch any Legion video you do.
Thanks! Timberwolf has gotten at least two votes now!
@@Animedad Three now!
70's Timberwolf with demon eyes and pointed hair tips is the REAL Timberwolf.

Wildfire
my fav character
One thing to mention: Wildfire's original costume survived the explosion, but Wildfire avoids using it because of its one-of-a-kind status. The subsequent costumes created by Brainiac Five were not as good as Wildfire's original.
Love to hear more about money / valor and jo nah the ultra boy / emerald dragon
Wow, memories, he was definitely one of my favs on the 80s!
He's a Captain Atom inspired hero.
Wildfire was my favourite LSH characters.
Tyroc the legionarie , Tyroc
Drake is a guy who Dawny LOVES. That was always massive to me, it's like " He's reduced to pure angry energy and this wonderful ethereal girl loves HIM" . I know that sounds lame.
Opposites attract.
6:37 glad we agree that the standard 30th century uniform for both lab work (Zera) and superhero work (Saturn Girl) is space bikini & boots.
Outstanding,Wildfire is my most favorite Legionnarie beside Timber Wolf,also I really enjoy your video thanks for sharing Bruce 👌 them coming and have a remarkable Monday.☺💪
The Legion was one of my favorites. The Great Darkness WOW .Paul Levitz & Keith Giffen were a great team. Some of the best stories of the time. Drake was one of my favorites. Long Live The Leigon.
In Brazil, Wildfires was called as PULSAR. A much better name in my opinion. I loved this character as a teenager in the 80's.
I like the name PULSAR
hey bruce hiw about covering the legion of super villans? that would be interesting at least i think so
my fav character of dc's
She ran callin' "Wiiiiiiildfire!"
Brings a tear to my eye every time...
She should've called him Drake but they are trained to use code names in combat.
Great video! I love this character and remember reading that origin story issue many times... I also liked Ultra Boy despite the fact that he could only use one power at a time. His crenellated boots were funky too! Maybe you can do a feature video on him sometime. So many great characters in the Legion...
It was two heroes in TT that were called StarFire. The one that was around in the early days of was a Russian Hero called Starfire(1968). It was changed later when Kory aka Starfire came around in the 80s.
Wildfire looks like a Soviet Superhero
Yeah he should've had a Russian name.
Hi Bruce, I found your channel through your demon slayer videos and have enjoyed all your videos I've seen. I look forward to all your future content, good luck growing your channel!
Awesome, thank you!
Super research.
Shadow Lass is one of my favorites
Hi, Bruce! I love it! Thank you for doing this. So few a US citizen & DC fans cover LSH.
It's my childhood memory too - though I was & here I am in Indonesia.
After 4 decades, still LSH i love the most.
What you do reminds me of my late dad who brought some comic novel when I was 5.
I still remembered that clearly.
And my first memory of LSH was when he read a LSH pocket book in bed.
I wondered what he's doing since he was so relax & focus reading it.
So I joined him.
But since I couldn't read at that time (maybe that's the reason my writing is like chicken scratch), I was just pretending I did understand the story by observing his eyes & head move from the top, left to right and to the bottom and repeat the same action until he turned over the page.
The image is forever in my mind as the young Superboy, in flight mode along with so many super heroes.
Almost 4 years ago, I found that cover image again, in the internet.
I just shed tears with those memories.
The title of the pocket book is Superboy & the Legion of Super Heroes.
It was the young Superboy smiles facing us while Ultra Boy, Element Lad, Light Lass who are closer to him, and others, Princess Projectra, Lightning Lad, Dream Girl, Star Boy, Shrinking Violet, Brainiac 5, Wildfire, Collosal Boy, Sun Boy, Cham, Mon-El & lastly Timber Wolf (just a half part of his image) - all fly go the sky facing up right side.
With the tag on the below right side --
'The peace-keeping force of the 30th century joined by the grratest super-hero of the 20-th century."
Too bad I couldn't find the book anymore.
Nor I didn't remember what the story is all about, either.
So I wonder if ... And if you are willing, and if it's possible for you to cover the story inside that comic novel (aka the pocket book) in your future video.
That would be terrific, incredible & so beautiful.
Again thank you very much, Mr.Brande, my man! 😊
Keep doing this - there will be more of us to join 'the Legion' you found. ✨❤
Up to the 30th century! 🌟
PS:
I suggest you also enclose the title of the book of the panels that were shown in every vidoes you have.
Boy, that would be awesome! 😊
I loved how after quislet taught him how to make a body ends up with dawnstar going to dr ghm'll to get some burn cream
Legends of a Dead Earth was a great issue.
Along with Ferro, Drake didn't get a fair break.
"...among other things." Tee-hee. 😄
Fun and informative, as always!
Thanks!
LONG LIVE THE LEGION!
very well made video!
Thank you!
Cover Mon-El or Cameleon Boy's origin.
Now do the Legion of Super-Pets. Don't forget "Biron the Bowman" and "Blockade Boy 2"
Yes. Bruce, my itch is scratched.
If there can't be duplicate powers in the Legion, how do you explain Ultra Boy, Mon-El, Supergirl, and Superboy?
I can’t 🤷🏻♂️
@@Animedad yeah, I'm thinking they threw that in for a little drama.
I think you hit the nail on the head
Supergirl and Superboy received special dispensations given their historical importance (and Superboy being a direct inspiration for the Legion founding.
Mon-El was already a member at that point.
Aside from those three, everyone who joins must have at least ONE power all his or her own. Just *having* duplicate powers doesn't keep one from joining, if you have one unique ability.
In Ultra-Boy's case, I'm pretty sure that it's just the fact that his Ultra-Vision can see thru lead, where the Supers and Mon-El can't.
I've always been a fan of Polar Boy.
Thanks .Chameleon lad looks a good choice for knowing more about
Loved Drake!
MY GOAT
Ultra boy
How about one of these for each member! Plenty to pick from to start
Nice work , probably my favorite of all of the others. It was tragic he couldn't get down with Dawnstar or others. To be so powerful and helpless at once. Not good. Most of his powers were never shown in later comics like #246 etc. he was said to be the 4th strongest teammate.
I'll have to dig back into the archives and see what I can find about his powers in those issues!
@Animedad 👍
Will someone please talk about when the Legion fought Darkside please,
Wildfire, Dr Manhattan, Captain Adam, Major Force, all different yet one and the same?
Bruce, ya did good!
I have an awesome idea for a legion reboot in DC comics.Who can I talk too. Not a great artist but have an awesome idea t revamp the legion.
do the great darkness saga please
I have the same ring 👍
Sounds a lil like firestorm.kinda
I'm sorry never heard of him myself.
I would like to know about element lad dream girl star boy light lass princess projector shadow lass tyroc ferro lad stone boy fire lad polar boy color kid
