Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business Future's Legion Micros (7/21: Legion Cadets)

Cham's worn purple quite a bit, too.
Maybe, Durlan's like creating that color with their skin cells, it might tingle deliciously or feel extra silky?
Or, then again, it might be just easy to maintain!


I find that I've disliked Kirt so much that I had a hard time saving, or even going over, his entry.
sigh
But, okay, I did.

80's Laurel Kent will always be my favorite. Poncho and a pageboy. Classic.

Grev's widow's peak sure did come and go, didn't it? I associate it with him, and didn't realize that it was something added in the 80's.

Funny how the decision to change Lamprey's face back to green in the Retroboot made it look like she's walking around naked all the time. Her appearance in Adventure (drawn by Jiminez) really made it look like she was stepping out of Power Boy's shower in the nude...

Whew! That's just the first part of the Legion Academy micros! Other miscellaneous students, as well as their associates from the Glorithverse, Postboot, and DCNu are forthcoming.

I didn't feel like holding off and posting them all at once though, because I honestly have no idea when I'll be finished!

Lots of interesting details about these students. As you can see, a lot of their looks are just coloring errors or slight changes done artist to artist over the decades. Especially Grev, with his coloring and hairstyles as Set pointed out!

Despite the fact it does make her look naked, I like the Retroboot coloring of having Lamprey all in green. It harkens back to her original skin color, plus I think it looks less jarring than Caucasian flesh does against that look. I love the almost liquid/electric look her hair has now too!

Awesome work as always!

Though... did you skip Grev's Super-Stalag outfit? I seem to recall him shirtless in that story.

Haha. I would skip Grev's first appearance. To the Archives I go!

I'd totally forgotten a bunch of these, like Laurel's "Elna Kent, Superwoman" appearance. That was in Superman/Batman, right? What issue was that?

Grev has gotten his Super Stalag on! And Elna Kent is from Superman/Batman #80, I believe!

Yes, she was presented as the Superwoman of the 31st Century, next to Kent Shakespeare as Superman.

And the Brane Taylor version of Batman!

And Tom Wayne as Robin, I think.

Yippe for an awesome job on the academy members! That's going above and beyond the call of duty.

Imo, ALL of Future's work is above and beyond just about anything I've seen for the Legion, anywhere.
He's amazing!

Comet Queen is similarly 'blessed' with her face and costume being the same color.
I think it's very striking.
Simplicity usually is, imo.

Cham and Yera could do something similar, and for 'real', since they ARE nude, but never have, IIRC.

Lamprey, Nightwind and Crystal Kid sure have changed their looks drastically since their intro, huh? My personal canon is that changing skin/hair pigmentation in the future is the same as getting a piercing or tattoo today...

say how about doing the Science Police?

They're definitely on my shortlist to-do!

I've accepted that notion as well for my personal canon of how their skin colors could change so drastically. I like to think of Crystal Kid as changing his to impress the Legion, while Lamprey and Nightwind's may be more permanent side-effect.
