Apparently the LSA = X-men thing is a myth, and Conway himself has denied any homage. See Glen Cadigan\'s post on a previous thread. The fact that they kind of match is interesting, however. I'd see it as: Neutrax -- Professor X + the Cyclops eyebeam-theme Lazon -- Cyclops Silver Slasher -- Wolverine Titania -- Thunderbird Mist Master -- Nightcrawler Blok -- Colossus

I think Conway was going for balanced team, and the X-Men usually have balance teams. As someone whose been in plenty of [insert character] vs. [insert character] threads, I really appreciate balanced teams. The Legionnaires are severely overpowered, but a versatile team with prep could defeat them.

I had a thought for a second that maybe you could see the LSA as improved versions of the Subs, but I got so far with it:
Blok - Stone Boy, but mobile
Titania - Night Girl, but strong in daylight as well
Lazon - Color Kid, but more general light powers rather than simply changing color
I don't see anyway that other three match up with Polar Boy, Chlorophyll Kid, and Fire Lad, however.

^ I guess Mist Master could be Chlorophyll Kid in that plants need air to breathe (don't they? or am I betraying the fact I never did Biology at school?  ) ... and they both have a green colour scheme going on. Silver Slasher could be Polar Boy in that metal can be cold and ice can cut you. ... I'm relly grasping at straws now aren't I?

I'd see it as:

Lazon -- Cyclops
Silver Slasher -- Wolverine
Titania -- Thunderbird
Mist Master -- Nightcrawler
Blok -- ColossusI think Mist Master was suppised to be like Storm, who can create fog. And Titania was Jean Grey....a red head. Unless that is a myth, of course.

You could be right about Mist Master. I never really think of "creating fog" as one of Storm's abilities, while with Nightcrawler I immediately think "disappears in cloud of smoke".
Titania just isn't a very good match any way. She's really an odd character, as she's pretty much completely redundant with Blok to begin with. I always thought they should've given her Colossal Boy's abilities or something to make her distinctive.

Why Sun Killer has three consecutive covers : 12, 13 and 15?
Is he the villain who will die to hands of one legionnaire?
