More Legion redesigns feat. the Espionage Squad

Thought process for my redesigns under the read more:

So for Lyle I didn't want to change too much because I like his Reboot costume the best, though I think it's a bit bland. A bland design works well for him but he's my fave so I wanted him to have a better costume lol. I decided to go all in on the spy look, it's not like it's a secret anyway so he might as well look the part even more than he already does.

Tinya I wanted to make her look like a ghost, so it's basically a mix between her cartoon design and her Young Justice design. I like how in YJ she's wearing a hoodie, it feels like what a teenage superhero would wear, so I incorporated it into the cape.

Vi is mostly a mix between Retroboot and the cartoon, but I gave her shorts and combat boots as a bit of a callback to 5YL Vi because I love her. Also I wanted her to be visibly shorter than everyone else but I probably overdid it. She's really tiny.

Now you might be wondering, what the hell is going on with Cham's costume? Yeah, me too. He's the one I had the hardest time designing. I don't particularly like most of his costumes, I think a lot of them are pretty generic so I wanted to try something different but I don't think I accomplished what I wanted to do. I thought a really asymmetrical costume would fit a shapeshifter pretty well, and I also wanted to give it a water-like look to it since water doesn't have a shape. Something like Inque from Batman Beyond. But I didn't know how to do make it look good and also make him look like he belonged to the same team as everyone else so it's a bit meh.

And for Luornu I mainly took from the cartoon, now with more triangles. I also decided to stick to the Reboot's color scheme of purple and orange because her powers are more effective if she can trick people into thinking she hasn't split, and that's not doable if each duplicate is a different color. Plus Luornu Neutral is the balance between Orange and Purple and I like the idea of visually representing that by making her both orange and purple.

May to July 1986. I think a lot of people have seen the above panels from LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES (1984) #22, which are really the first indication of the attraction between Lightning Lass and Shrinking Violet, but consider also this scene from the following issue:

It certainly looks here like they're going to hook up in the Legion cruiser, and probably not for the first time.

In the issue after that, Lightning Lass finally breaks off her longstanding relationship with Timber Wolf (Brin Londo), a hunky sad boy who spends much of this series gradually turning into a werewolf:

This was indeed what it looked like, although it wasn't until early in the subsequent Legion series that Ayla and Vi were unequivocally together. Several of the later reboots erase their relationship completely, although they were once against together in the last Paul Levitz/Keith Giffen series (the reboot prior to the recent Bendis one).

What AU would you make if DC let you?

Honestly theres so many i have in mind that it was hard to narrow down lmao, but I would love to write an au where Lyle and the rest of the espionage squad join the legion differently.

They start as an independent, underground, vigilante group that formed because of Lyle's involvement in earthgov. Being so high in the ranking, he got a first hand view of all the corruption and decided to do something about it. He enlists the help of his childhood friend (Tinya) and a friend he met on a mission (Reep).

They get all of their gear and funds from Lyle's many connections formed over the years while working with earthgov. They specialize in covert missions and try their best to keep their presence quiet, but they can never resist helping people in need, so eventually and inevitably they end up making a name for themselves.

Legionnaires Salu and Luornu feel like they are not appreciated in their places on the team. They are constantly left out of missions because their powers are seen as not useful for fighting. Because of this they seeks out the rest of the espionage squad and get accepted as members.

Salu and Luornu operate on both teams at the same time and manage to hide this fact pretty well. They do eventually get found out though when a mission with the espionage squad goes wrong and the legion ends up showing up as aid.

After discovering that they work seamlessly together as a team, the legion extends the offer for them to join the legion officially and they accept.

#Lyle is secretly very relieved to not be in charge anymore #(but lets be honest Tinya was probably doing most of the leading) #thuogh he does still butt heads with rokk a lot #i have one for joey too but it was harder to put into words without talking your ear off for hours straight #sorry i seem to answer something losh related for most of these games lmao #i just constantly think about it #legion of super heroes #espionage squad #lyle norg #tinya wazzo #luornu durgo #salu digby #reep daggle #losh

November 1989 (set October 23, 2994). The first issue of the relaunched LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES series reveals that during the five-year gap following the end of the previous series, former Legionnaire Shrinking Violet, whose real name is Salu Digby, had joined the military when her homeworld of Imsk went to war with the planet Braal, homeworld of fellow Legionnaire Cosmic Boy (Rokk Krinn). By this point, several years later, Imsk has won the war and is occupying Braal, but Vi is in a military stockade.

As the page above alludes, in 2991, Vi and her unit were involved in an Imskian war crime, and she's been imprisoned because she refuses to retract her official protest or agree to keep her mouth shut about what happened.

In the previous series, Vi had expressed a romantic interest in fellow Legionnaire Ayla Ranzz (Lightning Lass), who hesitated, briefly seemed receptive, and then made a panicky dive into an aggressive hetero flirtation with Rokk Krinn's younger brother Pol (who was then killed in the final storyline of the previous series). We learn here that during her imprisonment, Vi and Ayla have been writing to each other, and Ayla has invited Vi to join her on the family's agricultural commune on the planet Winath, where Ayla has gone to live with her brother Garth (formerly known as Lightning Lad) and his wife (Imra Ardeen Ranzz, formerly known as Saturn Girl) since the Legion disbanded. Newly released from the army, Vi finally agrees.

This is an example of the radical shift in the complexity and sophistication of this phase of Legion history. The previous series had had some elaborate plots and characterization, but at the end of the day, it was still a superhero comic. This was something else, and not only in storytelling style. It's regrettable that a pointless series of editorial battles ended up making it such a mess, and even more regrettable that DC later decided to abandon it in favor of a return to cutesy adventures of cute teen heroes with no history. The point in this series was that the characters had BEEN cute teen heroes, but they grew up, and so did the universe around them — both for good and for ill.
