Talk:Dawnstar/Preboot

No need exists for this page, nor for any tri-partite division between eras, because for Dawnstar, the same character in all respects (except for a change imposed upon her) is being discussed.

Dawnstar is among the Legion characters who did not change in origins, abilities, or any other aspect between the "pre-Crisis" (on Infinite Earths) and the "post-Crisis" periods. Any division between these eras, whether or not for "disambiguation," adds no information and creates needless duplication.

Nor does a separate entry for the "Glorithverse" -- here used for LSH v4 from issue 1 onward, and for Legionnaires, as both continued to Zero Hour -- make sense for this character. She was noted as being a member of the Legion before the mini-reset of LSH v4 n5. After this moment, Dawnstar was shown as having been possessed and mutilated by the Bounty entity, from some point not long before that moment in the altered timeline.

When this ceased (along with the Bounty alias) in "LSH" v4 n36, however, Dawnstar reverted to her previous personality and powers, entirely unchanged from the past, except as affected by the Bounty events.

(This affects the use of the "era_color" variable from the Member template, as well. For more discussion, see this date in the discussion page for that template. ~ Greybird, 27 June 2006
