The thing is, these characters are just stunningly beautiful and extremely sexy in those skimpy outfits. Part of me wants them to go get dressed so they can actually perform some super heroics, and part of me buys into the fantasy.
Sigh! As a very obscure (but much beloved-by-me) cartoonist once had a goddess remark: "Boys, the whole trouble with cheesecake and cherry tarts is that your teeth fall out if you live on them!" The other problem is that even skilled artists like Grell really only draw one type of "ideal" beauty. There's little if any difference between the two characters beyond costume and skin color. That always depresses me a little. Get Jaime Hernandez on the phone already.

I agree with that statement and it's definitely something I am now (more than ever) keeping in mind as an artist.

Whenever Brainy is in Legion meetings, he always stands up and points at people when he talks. Just a tad abbrasive, I'd say.

Ah, the days when the de-aging process always resulted in turning into slime.

Hmm... I wonder what the Time Trapper would've been like had they done more with the "Iron Curtain" metaphor? Like he could dress in red and refer to his agents as "Comrade Glorith" and so on...

Poor Vi! She gets to see so little of Duplicate Boy that she has to wave at him through the holovision during live broadcast Legion Auditions!

I thought Vi was doing jazz hands.
And seeing as Krypton exploded, is "popping planets" a good expression for Kal?

Did anyone else notice on the next panel, where Superboy had Giffen on the phone? Kal's not as nice as his agent portrays him.

I was gonna comment about the art...but then I remembered that they literally just drew the story based on Shooters layouts that he sent in. No wonder the characters are out of depth.
