Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Favourite/Least Favourite Costume for Legionnaires...

Thought I'd start this little game/poll. Someone picks a Legionnaire any era. If said Legionnaire has been in multiple incarnations of the Legion pick your favourite and least favourite costume that that Legionnaire had. Even if a Legionnaire has only had 1 incarnation (ie the Khunds from Legion On The Run), they could be simply like or dislike their costume. And it is okay if you have more than 1 fave/least fave/tied...put N/A.

I''ll start with the 3 founders...and we'll do new Legionnaires (pick from 1-5) every Friday or so.

Cosmic Boy:
Favourite Costume:original costume from Adventure Comics
Least Favourite:I wasn't exactly crazy about his Polestar costume from Legion On The Run

Saturn Girl:
Favourite:Red w/White Band from Adventure Comics
Least:Black & Yellow from Adventure Comics #247

Lightning Lad:
Favourite:Blue w/White Band from Giffen/Levitz run LSH #300 on
Least:Red & White as Lightning Boy from Adventure Comics #247

How about you?

Cosmic Boy
Fave: Giffen outfit (Baxter Era)
Lesst: Grell's outfit

Saturn Girl
Fave: Original Outfit (Adventure #247)
Least: Magic Wars era outfit

Lightning Lad
Fave: Adventure Era outfit
Least: Original Outfit (Adventure #247)

Cosmic Boy
Fave: The purple reboot version
Least: The Grell bustier (I think that's the right word; too tired to check)

Saturn Girl
Fave: The Giffen version of her '60s costume
Least: N/A. She's looked good in just about everything.

Lightning Lad:
Fave: The ADVENTURE outfit, complete with cape
Least: The original outfit, if only because I associate the color red with Mekt.

Cosmic Boy
Fave: Giffen costume (Baxter Era). Current one a close second
Least: Polestar

Saturn Girl
Fave: Cockrum/Grell pink bikini
Least: Magic Wars era costume

Lightning Lad:
Fave: Current costume
Least: The original outfit.

And just to clarify, every Friday someone can name 2-5 Legionnaires for the week, that way everyone who participates in this thread gets turns.

Cosmic Boy
Fave: 2boot: purple & black, with detachable discs so he always has *some* metal available for a weapon or a shield.
Least: Grell. I thought the "Polestar" outfit was OK. I find the 3boot outfit acceptable only when Barry draws it; none of the fill-in artists seemed to be able to bring it off.

Saturn Girl
Fave: "Classic" Adventure-era red & white; one of the mere handful of better-than-mediocre pre-Cockrum Legion costume designs.
Least: Adventure 247.

Lightning Lad
Fave: Cockrum. THE quintessential Legion costume; basis for all subsequent versions; winner of Legion Costume Survivor, and deservedly so!
Least: Adventure 247.

Cosmic Boy
Fave: Cartoon version (I like the way the pink has evolved to purple)
Least: Adventure #247 - the pink and black outfit with a bubble on his head.

Saturn Girl
Fave: the Cockrum/Grell pink bikini
Least: the late 5yg era scarlet with a white belt.

Lightning Lad:
Fave: The Cockrum redesign - I still love that "tuxedo" look
Least: Hated that puffy orange belt he wore in the Adventure era.

Cosmic Boy
Fave: Post zero hour purple.
Least: Bustier (as previously described)

Saturn Girl
Fave: Her maternal wear. Classy, nice colors and design.
Least: Pink Bikini, never liked it.

Lightning Lad
Fave: Swan
Least: Animated

Cosmic Boy's bustier always makes me think of Dr. Frank-n-Furter.

And Ayla can be Columbia, and Tasmia can be Magenta, and...

Cos:
Fave: Current version
Least: Bustier

Saturn Girl
Fave: Red and White (ca. Universo Project)
Least: Pink Bikini

LL
Fave: Cockrum
Least: Adventure era

Since it's now Friday, I'll post the next three Legionnaires. (I know it doesn't have to be restricted to three.)

Element Lad:
Fave: The blue with green arrow motif. Mysterious and eye-catching.
Least: The Adventure-era pink and white number. It always reminded me of pajamas.

Shrinking Violet:
Fave: The Dave Cockrum green and black outfit with the impossibly high (but eye-catching) boots.
Least: Her 5YL appearance; it's as if they tried too hard to make her butch.

Wildfire (not really a costume change, but ...)
Fave: The rounded face mask. It gave him a rebel- biker appearance.
Least: The flat face mask. It was just too much of a reminder that there was no face underneath.

Element Lad
Fave: Probably the arrow costume, though it still reminds me a lot of Kranyak's outfit.
Least: The Sprouse/Reboot design. (Unless Jarth counts...)

Shrinking Violet
Fave: Probably Yera's Vi-disguise, actually. But as far as looks that are really her, I'll have to go for Cockrum's.
Least: Baxter era. Kicking-ass in that skirt never really made a lot of sense.

Wildfire
Fave: Cockrum's original look, of course.
Least: The 80s "anti-matter body" look that he got after hanging around with Quislet.

Element Lad
Fav: the black/pink number with the interlac "E"
Least: the green/blue big arrow one. Runner up is his current soulpatch... just the soulpatch.

Vi
Fav: Come to think of it, I don't think I'm crazy about any of her outfits, but I guess I liked her postboot purple outfit the most.
Least: her LotR Virus "Sgt.Pepper's" outfit.

WILDFIRE
Fav:

Least: The first energy body that resembled his suit.. but it was his body!

I'd be in favor of Element Lad wearing nothing but his soulpatch.

Element Lad
Fave: This is close, but I'm going with the Baxter black & magenta with the white Interlac "E" to beat the Cockrum blue & green (like the costume, but not the hairstyle (and before you ask, yes, I did find the perm less objectionable)).
Least: Nothing I consider awful (though the Kitson design is a little too busy for me; the 2boot outfit was decent, except, being black & white, it was too close to 2boot Invisible Kid, and if it's up to me I'm reserving that color combo for Lyle, since it's my Fave costume for Lyle); I'll have to go with the bland, original Adventure-era pink & white (but Jan should've kept his original hairstyle).

Shrinking Violet
Fave: the "off-the-shoulder" version of the 2boot jumpsuit (yes, I'm a Jeff Moy fan).
Least: original Adventure-era green & white; again, not awful, just bland, and the variation she wore after being released from the sens-tank was an improvement, IMO (I'd take the Virus/LotR outfit over either, myself).

Wildfire
Fave: original Cockrum, with the curving faceplate (though I liked the 2boot, Kwai-built outfit).
Least: the first, clunky, 2boot containment suit.

Jan:
Fave: The Green arrow
Least: Current

Vi:
Fave: Dark green, late '70s
Least: Original light green dress

Drake:
Fave: Original
Least: The Quislet outfit

I did want to add that had I posted in this thread last week, there would have been one very enthusiastic "fave" vote for the Cosmic Bustier.

Element Lad
Fave: Postboot black
Least: Pink and white

Violet
Fave: Postboot
Least: Adventure

Wildfire:
Fave: Coipel version (Legion Lost)
Least: 'solid energy'

Element Lad
Fave: Giffen's backpacker
Least: The green with arrow pointing up, never figured out what that meant.

Shrinking Violet
Fave: Giffen's for older Vi.
Least: Levitz era green with arrow pointing down and thigh boots (guess I don't like arrows)

Wildfire
Fave: Original Erg (no voters yet for Lightle's Qward?)
Least: Energy Body

I've always thought that Jan's costume was an example of an artist designing a costume first and then deciding which character should wear it.

Which one of Jan's costumes are you referring to?

Cockrum's green arrow suit. (Sorry I didn't make that clear.)

For this week, how about...

Night Girl
Fave: Original

Again, no least fave.

Lightning Lass/Light Lass/Gossamer
Fave: Current
Least: Original Light Lass (Ayla couldn't work the 'hive nearly as well as Lydda)

Oh, wait. Sign me up for the current Polar Boy as least fave, too. I forgot about that look.
