Over the past year+ of enjoying City of Heroes, I've created a number of heroes. Some I play constantly, others were created on a whim to see how close to the real version I could get with the character generator.
I thought you all might enjoy seeing the Legionnaires in CoH style. This is what the other LW players on CoH joking refer to as "Vee's Legion"
First up the 3 Founders, starting with Cos.
As you can see I've done him in the various versions of his outfit.

Next is my version of Lightning Lad. Really it's more my designe than close to actual but I like how it turned out.
And finally, whenit came time to do the third founder, I decided I didn't like Imra so I decided to create an alternate reality gender reverse version of her. Meet Saturn Kid!
(Remind anyone of the Grell era story in which the Jeckie is afflicted with something or other and the Legionnaires decide that they need to really confuse her so two of the guys dress up like male versions of Saturn Girl and Nura (?)

Next up (in continuity) are Tinya and Lu. Unfortunately Lu hasn't earned her cape yet but I think she'll look great once she does.

Following these two ladies, came Invisible Kid, Colossal Boy and Cham. I've done various versions of Lyle and one of Gim but I've held off on Cham until I can create him with a special type of character that only becomes available when you finally reach level 50 with one of you heores. That should happen within the next few weeks so I'll finally be able to do my version of Cham then.

Next up in continuity would be Kara and Brainy. Again, I'm not a big fan of Brainy's so I decided to do an alternate reality gender reversed version named Querla-5.

Next up are Vi, Dirk and Chuck. You really need to see Vi in-game to get the impact, she really is tiny.

Very attractive original designs! A bit of more baroque ornamentation seems to work well for these characters from the future. (It'd never be portrayed well in the printed comics, even today, let alone on Silver Age newsprint.)
Do they have to "earn" capes from game play or longevity? And has anyone at City of Heroes given you grief about using Legion or Supes names or allusions to images, in light of the Marvel lawsuit?

Grey, to be able to wear a cape, the hero has to reach level 20. Once at 20, s/he can then do a special mission. Successful completion of the mision earns him or her the right to add a cape to their costume. Of course, the tailor charges extra for the cape.
I've not had any problems with any of my heros but many others have. I make sure that I don't use the copyrighted name (or even a misspelled version of it) For example, Cos is named Cosmic Rokk, Garth is Boltz Boy, Chuck is BB Chuck, Jo is Rimborian.
Even so, it is possible that you can run into a problem simply from having too accurate a costume. So far, I've been lucky. I think its because the Legionnaires are not exactly the most widely known superheroes so are less likely to attract attention. That's why I never actually played Kal or Kara. They would be too obvious even though I named them Le Lak and LeRoz Arak.
