awesome!!! but cant help wondering if she is a descendant of the The Court of the Owls that are happening throughout the Bat books. Hmmm...that would be interesting!

I would be interested to learn more about Lydda's heritage or pre-Legion lifestyle. For a girl that begged her father for powers and then initially used them to try and get a specific hero as a boyfriend, it's funny how she doesn't really get a "princess" or "stalker" label. It'd be amusing to me if there was a catty Legion lass who still teased Lydda about being a stalker fangirl despite her tenure now as a heroine.

I like most of her costumes...with the owl, even her bikinis look more like superhero costumes than those things usually do.
I still find her current costume more offensive than any of the string bikinis she's worn before...I think having a full bodysuit with a cleavage cut-out where it's SO IMPORTANT we see some boob that it even has to break up her emblem is more tasteless than trying to incorporate sexiness organically into the overall look if that makes sense...

Lydda didn't get pegged as a princess or stalker because that was a common female behavior in comics at that time.
Remember, for all her talent and independence, Lois Lane still wanted Superman to marry her more than anything else in the 60s.

One thing I find interesting about Lydda's 60s-esque origin is that, unlike Lois Lane, it seems to withstand the test of time/reboots. I actually like having a heroine with that set-up, though I'd love to see more reactions to the development. What did/does her father think of all this? Did any of the other Subs have secret Legion crushes they'd confide to her about, etc?
Her look that had the most variations was definitely the 80s one designed by, I believe, Steve Lightle. It went through a number of accessory, color, and sleeve changes over the decade. I actually could have made more micro variations of the look, but decided that may be excessive.
