Mucous hanging off your sleeves could be a tad impractical, if not repulsive.

I always figured Grell for a closet case because of his Cosmic Boy, Colossal Boy and Warlord costumes.

Come on--a guy with a helmet, fur jockstrap, boots and a sword? How gay is that?

RE: Triad's current costume. I agree that it would get in a way when she's fighting. I wish she'd go back to her old one--this one looks like maternity businesswear. I swear that big white square in front looks like a maternity panel. Why isn't she at least wearing a Legion belt? I get the impression she's being demoted to office personnel, which is NOT acceptable.

well, about Grell costumes....I loved them! allright, call them a fashion statement! Remember in 1980s, where girls wore leg warmers as fashion statement and guys wore bright hot colors too? We all went through many changes...as for this current era, it is illogical for me to see how can young guys be wearing baggy pants HALFWAY below their waist! *rubbing eyes*

but..I don't complain. It's their fashion statement. Oh...how I miss Colossal Boy's and Cosmic Boy's legs...damn!

I suspected that Grell is bisexual but not gay. Way back in late 1980s (1988? 1989?), I went to a comic convention in VA and Wash DC, I saw Grell wearing a BIG diamond earring on his ear, that gave me a vibe thinking that he was gay or whatever. That kind of earring that no straight guy would want to wear in public, only gay guy would wear. Thus, my Gaydar beeped low.

His Warlord and his Green Arrow were so sexy...I had a fantasy on them having threesome with me. [Good]

Forgot to add, especially when she's being drawn by Jim Sherman. [Saturn Girl]

I've blasted artists in the past for forcing female superheroes to fight crime in their bathing suits, but Imra's my weakness.

Ummm... I'm not sure that works. Tinya becomes intangible, not invisible. [Cool]

Ya know, I remember thinking the exact same thing back around the time Tinya was first referring to Imra as an "Ice Queen." Thinking over her depiction around that time, the term did seem to fit. But with that costume, chee, she was pretty "out there" for a personality that was supposedly so reserved.

It made perfect sence to me when she switched back to her earlier costume.

Actually, I wish that she would go back to her Bronze Age costume with the short cape and the theigh-high go-go boots.

[Love] My favorite Legion costume of all time.
