Anyone else reminded of the Archie Legion?

Of course, Edith, Gloria, & Meathead!

Sorry.

Legion fan nickname for the first reboot version of the Legion of Superheroes.

Actually, I have heard the term used before. I've just never understood it, and anytime I've heard it used in the past it was used in a derogatory fashion, so I don't use it myself.

That particular reboot was the one I enjoyed the most. It didn't hurt that Mark Waid was one of the writers involved.

I liked it, too, and use the term affectionately.

Anyway, don't those new X-Men uniforms look like they'd belong in the Reboot Legion?

Why does Cyclops have Batman's silhouette on his chest?

Doesn't every young hero aspire to be Batman?

Not so much a legion as an elite task force.

I believe that the pejorative is Jughead Legion. I for one found that the Jughead era was the one time in Legion history that I was so utterly underwhelmed that I dropped the title like a hot rock. That's not to say that I didn't somewhat cheer at the cancellation of the most recent series.

ETA: Yes, they look like Jughead Legion costumes.

If you want a book to sell, it has to tie into Batman somehow - even if it is a Marvel book.

CaptShazam

why haven't they produced a real Archie Legion book? Archie in the 31st Century. It is not like they are worried about over exposing the characters.

Gargoyle

It's a little Power Rangers...although I like the X-Factor touches.

Who had team belt buckles first, The LSH or the X-Men?

WetRats

WIth those collars, they also look like they belong in the New DCU.

I'd guess X-men - the standard rectangular X buckle is visible on the cover of the very first issue.

My recollection of the early Legion issues is that there was little to no linking element between the Founders costumes.

rebis

meh.

I would have preferred they kept to the original yellow and black color scheme.

Forgot they had them that far back. Thanks!
