Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes The All Nylor Truggs Thread!

'Tache-tastic!

He might have only appeared in one issue, but look at that ambition!

Thanks to Chaim for bringing Nylor to our attention in the Legion Trivia thread.

*Gasp!*

I've never read this story!

He's no newbie! He's got a record! Look at him evade the Science Police in these panels!
Deftness that demands the top Legion art of Giffen to portray!

Cool! Learned something new today!

Nice find! So what happened to him? Takron-Galtos or did he escape?

Note that master thief Ben Pares also sported a mustache.

Anagram: Glory Grunts

Me neither, though I own it for the Legion appearance!

Superheroes who are launched in their own titles often have lots of big gun super hero guest stars in their opening issues. Often their earlier appearances in team up books also shown them to have teamed up with the likes of Superman or Batman.
It's no different for Super villains. The Secret Society had lots of guest starring super heroes as well as Darkseid. The Joker had the Bat Family. It's no different for Nylor who goes to the top of the villain tree for a guest star: Lex Luthor!




Nylor Truggs. The exception proving the rule about being able to launch titles on the back of guest star appearances.

Even I can't walk through walls!

Oh, Luthor.

Even I can't walk through walls!

Next panel: Yet!

I would be surprised if there wasn't at least one story in which Lex figures out how to walk through walls.

Actually, you know who did figure out how to walk through walls?

Math makes anything possible!

Also... take that, Luthor!

Oh sure, you be a time travelling, tech oriented master thief, who can name drop the biggest of villains. But, as Biron says, you can never have too many arrows in your quiver. That's why Nylor Truggs has super powers! They are natural powers too! Does this make him the likely villain in a Guardians of the Galaxy/Legion crossover, guest starring the X-Men?

If only Sivana added 3X2(9YZ)4A to his formula, he could have walked through that wall at super-speed!

I need to see if this issue is on Comixology, I need to put this guy in my fanfic like yesterday!

I'm sure I've a few more posts to go, Raz. The guy is fanfic fodder. Look at those haunting heavy eyes, hinting at harrowing adventures in his past.
