This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Legion of Super Candidates...Colossal Boy's Mom ?
« on: February 23, 2008, 12:54:16 AM »
Okay ...after all this election silliness I seem to remember a LEGION OF SUPER HEROES story arc where the mother of one of the main characters would up being President of Earth.
This might have  been back in the '80s during or just after the Keith Giffen run on the series (the 1st time he was connected , I believe)

Pretty sure it was Colossal Boy's mother....also the candidates had less than 2 or 3 days to campaign - because long campaigns had been abolished decades or centuries ago.

Could you imagine such a thing today ?

 Candidates would have less than a week to convince people that they might do a good job as President? - Be amusingly interesting.

A 50-foot woman running for the office of President?  Totally, yes.
