Yes, we know it's Joss Whedon's world, but slayers belong to us all. On the <a href="http://goldderby.latimes.com/awards_goldderby/2009/05/buffy-back-on-big-screen-without-josh-whedon.html">heels of the news</a> that the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" movie's original director, Fran Rubel Kuzui, and her husband, Kaz Kuzui, are working on a 'reboot' sans Whedon, and now that we <a href="http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2010/11/22/joss-who-meet-the-writer-of-the-new-buffy-the-vampire-slayer-film/">know the writer</a> and <a href="http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2010/11/22/joss-whedon-responds-to-buffy-news-with-strong-mixed-emotions/">Whedon's' reaction</a>, we wanted to see who else were major slayers in the Buffyverse.<br>
