User blog:Eobard95/New Legends members?

Within the last 3 episodes of Legends we've lost 3 members either by death or departure so there are a lot of empty seats building up this season. Aside from Stein, Jax and Leo being gone now, Amaya has to return to 1942 at some point so Mari and Kuasa both can exist and while Wally has been confirmed to appear I read an article that says that will only be temporary so he may not be in next season either so that's potentially 5 empty seats (and I'm pretty sure they're just sending him to Legends because they don't know what to do with him in Flash and I personally believe it was too soon to introduce Kid Flash last season). That begs the question: Who's going to fill them?

Gideon (as a human/android)
Since Gideon first appeared in human form in Rip’s subconscious I’ve been really keen on the idea of her joining the Legends as an actual physical person. As for how it’s possible I think they could use the fabrication technology on the show to create a real flesh and blood body based on Gideon’s appearance in Rip’s mind and rig the body’s brain with an interface that allows Gideon to control it remotely so she can still operate as the Waverider’s A.I. as well. After all they’d be pretty f***ed without her running the ship lol. I think it would be interesting seeing Gideon adapt to being in human and walking a mile in the Legends’ shoes and maybe her and Rip could be an on/off thing given their kiss in 2x13 which even as an A.I. Gideon admitted to enjoying. Though I also wonder how long it would take for Sara to sleep with her if she became human lol.

Black Siren
I know I’ve talked about this before so I’ll keep it as short as possible. Now I haven’t given up on my hopes for Black Siren to redeem but since I have lost all hope in Arrow and will be happy when its cancelled I instead believe she should join the Legends instead where she can be morally ambiguous so long as its derived towards villains and Sara won’t complain too much. I think it would be a really good storyline for Sara as well, basically babysitting an evil version of her sister when she’s barely moved on from losing her own and trying to help her be a better person. I also heard that Sara is appearing in Arrow 6x18 so I hope this will include her meeting E2-Laurel and hopefully set up a possibility of her joining. I have always believed E1-Laurel was wasted so badly which is why I've always held out hope for E2-Laurel whilst trying to ignore Pretend Canary, sorry Dinah Drake, for lack of hope for E1-Laurel's revival or the introduction of an Earth-38 or Earth-X version of Laurel and I really do believe Legends is a true second chance for the character. Laurel is also from Earth-2 which could have a different history to Earth-1 requiring the Legends to explain major historical events that are common knowledge to her which would be funny.

Jesse Quick
Speaking of Earth-2 if Wally leaves (and I’ve heard he’s only meant to be a temporary member) I think the team should recruit Jesse to take his place since having a speedster would be quite handy given the number of actual supervillains they’ve been facing lately. I originally thought maybe speedsters wouldn’t work in Legends as it would make it too easy but they are messing with time so I guess they could use some excuse like Jesse being forbidden to use speed unless dire otherwise she’ll be mistaken for the Roman god Mercury or something. Another reason I think Jesse would be a good addition is her intellect. Martin was clearly the smartest of the team and with him gone they need a new resident geek and Jesse fits that profile as even her father, arguably the smartest character in the Arrowverse, has admitted her intellect succeeds his. Also since they recruited Earth-X Leo Snart there's no rule that forbids doppelgangers from being added to the Legends now.

Ragman
In my opinion Ragman was a good character who didn’t work in Arrow. For one his powers were too god-level to manage properly and no doubt drained their budget and second he was really only brought in to tie up the loose ends regarding Havenrock and no doubt the producer’s attempt to convince the audiences that Felicity’s actions were an “impossible choice”. However I for one still consider her a mass murderer yet she gets a pass which is actually one of the reasons I have hope Black Siren can redeem, but back to the point. With Firestorm gone the Legends need another god-level superhero and a guy who can survive a nuclear explosion at point blank sounds useful. He also does have a somewhat socially introverted personality which is a nice change up to the geeky and cynical nature of most the team’s membership.

Guardian
Now this is one that just dawned on me the other night while catching up on Young Justice. Great show by the way. They've done an interesting thing with Jimmy Olsen (yes to me he'll always be Jimmy) by turning him into the superhero Guardian and yet since they have, they've done almost nothing with him just like they've done very little with Jimmy at all. Seriously he's turned into the Laurel Lance (Earth-1) of Supergirl, both being good characters with potential only to be neglected because the writers abandoned the pursuit to have them pair with their show's main protagonist and can't figure out what else to do with them. So in that regard I don't see why Jimmy Olsen can't take a vacation to Earth-1 and decide to go on a journey through time with the Legends? Again they had a resident of Earth-X stay with the team recently so why should Earth-38 be off limits? Or maybe they introduce an Earth-1 version of Jimmy also portrayed by the same actor and go from there.

Blue Beetle
Now it’d be kinda boring if the Legends only recruited already existing Arrowverse character so there needs to be some new additions. I vote for the Jamie Reyes version of Blue Beetle. The Legends need firepower and Blue Beetle is a walking arsenal of weapons which would come in handy against the villains they face. We also do kinda need a new kid-appeal superhero with Jax gone and if Wally isn’t staying forever either so Jamie could fill that role, and his duel-personality with his Scarab could provide some good comedic value and tension when it gets violent. Since the Arrowverse is no stranger to aliens this could also leave the possibility of the Reach making an appearance later. Now I am aware Ted Kord was meant to be appearing in Arrow back in season 3 but for some rights-related reason they couldn't use him so they introduced Ray Palmer instead but I hope that doesn't mean Jamie Reyes is off limits too he is fairly new, well compared to how long Ted Kord has existed at least. I also haven't heard any news of Blue Beetle appearing in the new Teen Titans series either so I don't see why he should be off limits.

Zatanna
Now frankly this is a character I've wanted to see be added to Legends since season 3 started and Constantine appearing made me realize how much so. Seriously I'm hoping for this to happen more than I am Black Siren. Zatanna is one of my all time favorite comicbook superheroes and I really want her to appear espeically with magic becoming such a major part of the series it wouldn't hurt for the Legends to have their own sorcerer who is capable of basically anything espeically since Amaya will have to leave and Zari's fate is not as clear either. If Constantine gets revived I'd like to think Zatanna will appear there instead but if that doesn't happen then Legends for sure. Sorry kinda going on a bit but I just really like Zatanna.
