    I do hope Hallie can be talked out of her decision not to be a Legionaire. Someone needs to tell her that doing the right thing,in this case, joining the team and accepting the publicity that comes with it, is usually the hardest option to take, but that's what makes heroes heroes (hopefully with more eloquence then I just did).


She does have a point though... On one side, you have people freaking out that the Legion is moving forward with no system of checks and balances and wanting to curtail them. On the other, you have people freaking out because of the implications of the Robo-Citizenship issue and wanting to take some control of that. Suddenly granting the first A.I. in the history of the team (one who has been caught talking world domination before) membership in the middle of that climate is just asking to tie those two issues together. The odds of action against the team and of the Sentient Life Rights Bill passing both skyrocket.

Yes, the Legion may be able to weather the attacks, but is it heroic to jeopardize the rights of thousands of robosapiens in order for Hallie to get what she wants?
