the original JLA HQ, aka the Secret Sanctuary. I couldn't think of what it was called to save my life when I made my earlier post.
Cei-U! I summon the brain fart!

X-mansion and the Baxter Building. The former because it's pretty much just like the Avengers Mansion in terms of amenities, but crucially: it's out in the countryside, with forested meadows and a friggin' lake on the grounds. The latter because if I have to live in a big city, i.e., right smack dab in the middle of Manhattan, what would be cooler than having the top 5-6 floors of a skyscraper all to yourself? I'd hate to be the downstairs neighbors when the FF launch that ICBM of theirs! Kim Newman's story "Clubland Heroes" discusses this. |

My love of the Legion required me to vote for a Legion HQ, and I voted for the 2nd one. I voted for Avengers Mansion with my other vote (you get to live there, you get free Jarvis prepared meals, and you're right next to Central Park!) but the Fortress of Solitude (all those cool alien animals and technology) and the JLA Satellite were very tough to leave off. I also have a special place in my heart fo the X-mansion. I remember wishing I could live there when I was a youngster. I had to change my second vote (Baxter Building still my first) from the Hall of Justice to the 2nd Legion HQ, as a fellow Legion fan how could I not? Like yourself and others here, I find having just 2 choices tough (and of course I'm guilty of limiting that option, doh!). Did you ever wonder how the early Legion actually fit inside the original clubhouse? Man that looked small on the outside! Maybe it's like Dr. Who's TARDIS - bigger on the outside than on the inside.  |

I think it was more that it was fine, when the Legion was less a description than a name. As the membership grew, it looked smaller, until we got the updated version, which looked like the base for a Legion of superheroes. The earlier one was fine for Legion of Superheroes, which was more a name, like the He-Man Woman-Haters Club, or the NoHomers. It helps that I have read way more Legion stories from the 70s onward, than the 60s. |

I loved the Secret Files and Origins issue on the headquarters, with a Grant Morrison story about the Justice League cave, and a story about the Legion’s headquarters where it’s revealed it is actually the corpse of Fortress Lad, a Legion try-out who sacrifices himself to save them. I’ve always wanted a story where the Legion headquarters has been infiltrated, the Legion are all defeated except for like one member who reveals that the clubhouse itself is a living, breathing Legionnaire…
