    She's already in the Lair Legion! And since she had to leave her old life behind entirely to join, it would be difficult for her to leave.


I think Yuki's the most likely of your various cast members to join the LL - which is why she did! I can't see her leaving without some major trauma or overwhelmingly good reason.

      Lara Night



    Quote:
    There are three problems with Lara joining the Lair Legion: 1) Many people who write stories either don't like her or are afraid to use her, and the LL should be populated with characters anyone isn't afraid to use; 2) Lara isn't always around; and 3) she's not really defined clearly enough for most people.


Actually my main problem is that she's too powerful for everyday use. I can get away with heavy hitters like Donar, because they're sluggers and can just keep on hitting or being hit. With high-end energy manipulators they either have to go down in the first five seconds or they win the fight in the next five. Add in Lara's teleport-out ability and she's a very hard character to threaten.

      Liu Xi Xian



    Quote:
    Liu Xi would have to be convinced to join the Lair Legion. She has a bit of an inferiority complex - she sees the current Lair Legion as real heroes with real powers, and doesn't believe she has what it takes.


I see that as a plus rather than a minus since it brings a natural story arc with it.

      Anna



    Quote:
    That would be the ultimate irony, if Anna were made a full member. After all, she was designed by SPUD to exterminate them. She would be a great asset to the team, as long as she can keep her emotional nature in check. The LL would have to consider carefully whether she's ready.


Anna would make a good Legionnaire if Hallie, Yuki and Al B. weren't already there. As it is we'd be getting one "supercharacter" that effectively does most if not all of what these three do; and because they're already established then reader naturally sympathises with them not the perfect replacement.

That said, I've learned the hard way not to discourage posters' personal enthusiasms for their characters on the team. I tried hard to convince Scott not to bring in a Peter Petrelli-type character with the ability to duplicate the powers of everyone around him because I felt it undercut everyone else's uniqueness and left the constant problem of why this one hero didn't just duplicate event villain's ability and use it to beat them. Scott was unhappy not to get his new hero on the team and I don't see him around here much now.
