The Trip one is interesting. The Reddish one is larger, does that imply Red = Neutral?
Yeah, I couldn't figure that one out until I realized the colors for it. It should scream "three" somehow but makes me think more of an owl or goggles or something. And it implies one is greater than the other two.
White hourglass on blue is...? Maybe Light Lass? Matches her costume color scheme.
Dream Girl. Maybe the colors are indicative of how her powers are visually going to be shown?
The cute cartoon above has the hourglass beside Dream Girl too.
Looking forward to Dreamy becoming the Time Trapper.
Ha! That would be interesting! I guess the symbol is a reference to the sand in the hourglass and the new Dreamy looking kind of sandy and perhaps connected to Gaiman's Sandman. "Like sand in an hourglass, so are the days of our lives." Not the angle I would write for Dreamy but then I am not writing it. Have to wait and see if the idea is used in a decent way.

I definitely don't like that one.
Yeah. Even when the SW6 and Reboot introduced the three personalities, with one "Neutral", each of the three was shown to be quite equal to the others (also seen in their triangle logo). I can't think of anything in the Trips' appearances that would indicate that Red is supposed to be at the forefront...
Have we seen the Trips as one figure yet? They/She always seem to be appearing in threes. It could be that symbol could shift the dominant colour to match whichever individual it's associated with - on her costume, the individual colour is on the bottom of the circle. Why would they use this symbol (which does look like goggles) instead of the one on her costume?
So Bendis released another image on Instagram, this one featuring Ferro Lad by Michael Allred.
And amazingly, Ferro Lad's now Black judging from his hands. So, despite EVERYTHING, if Bendis ever did anything right with the Legion it was making Ferro Lad into a Black kid like Shooter originally wanted

I've decided to keep track of some of the threads that the solicitations mention that have yet to come to pass since issue #8 shows one of them finally coming true -
All this, and Monster Boy is on the loose! - originally for #3
Mon-El comes clean about his connection to Jon - originally for #5 - revealed in #8
Cosmic Boy and Ferro Lad find out they both have a crush on the same Legionnaire - originally for #5
Meet the latest crop of Legionnaires: Gold Lantern! Monster Boy! Doctor Fate! Each a new face in the DC Universe, each with dark secrets, and each with a reason to be part of the Legion's goal to bring the values of the Age of Heroes to the 31st century. And one of them has a surprising connection to Jon Kent, a.k.a. Superboy - originally for #6
Planet Gotham is under siege - originally for #7
Ultra Boy's homeworld is on the verge of all-out war - originally for #7
Brainiac 5 will reveal a secret that will make one Legionnaire quit the team - originally for #7
We ask the burning question: Who is the strongest Legionnaire - originally for #7
Ultra Boy's homeworld of Rimbor and Chameleon Boy's homeworld of Durla declare interplanetary war! - originally for #8
I really have no idea, I've been squinting at her every panel she's in and honestly cannot tell. Not from the costume, those useless Kirkman (spelling?) tags, or even her power uses.
In issue 2, her power signature seemed more like Light Lass (whether anti-grav or controlling light), not lightning...
Here's a look at all of them together. Looks like we're missing about 5ish (Superboy, Rose, Gold Lantern, Mystery Person/Chemical King?, and either Lightning Lass or the first Invisible Kid - if he still exists).
Ryan shared some work in progress for an upcoming issue, but I don't know which one earlier to today vis Instagram.

Swipe right to see a bit of a procedural on an upcoming page of #legionofsuperheroes this really tells on me as how I approach drawing a page. And may reveal that I can get lost for far too long in drawing houseplants whilst trying to tell a story on a deadline. #dccomics #dcuniverse #comicart #houseplants #wip #pencildrawing
So maybe we can just assume the ones whose identities are troubling us the most (Kid Fate, Gold Lantern, Skeleton Kid, and Catboy) are all new characters.
So, given this hypothesis, it looks like we're missing Lyle, Condo, and Andy, who were pre-Baxter Legion deaths, plus the rarely appearing Tyroc. Then we've got everyone else pre-Baxter except Jacques.
So it's pretty close to the GDS lineup, but with resigned members active and some new folks.
Hmm... given the latest issue it makes a lot of sense why we've got something so close to the GDS lineup!
As issue 12 of Legion comes creeping up soon I thought I'd share something... some development shots of Saturn Girl from the beginning. Share some others shortly because there's a lot! #legionofsuperheroes #bendis #characterdesign #longlivethelegion #saturngirl #dccomics
