We've all asked at one time or another. In what issue did Chameleon Boy first appear as a trash can (Superman v.1 Annual #4 (1961))? Or does anyone have image references of Saturn Girl's sister Jancel?
Well, instead of starting multiple threads I thought we'd have one spot to post such requests.
So the next time you are in need of a reference or just want to know something about obscure Legion history, post here. One of the many Legion archivists, maybe even Oracle Boy himself, will be glad to help.

Hmm, I'll give this a try! I'm working on a blog entry - the Top 8 80s Comic Costumes - and I'd love to include a Legionnaire (besides 80s-tastic Supergirl). Which Legionnaire(s) had an awesomely 80s costume? I'm thinking most of the rockin' Cockrum/Grell costume changes happened in the 70s, but I'm not sure - any thoughts? Any specifically 80s Legionnaire costumes? Thanks!
So far my list includes Supergirl (Crisis era), Rachel Summers (Phoenix II), Lobo, Boom Boom (X-Factor/New Mutants era), Black Canary (Justice League International era), and Ice (JLI).

Polar Boy's updated costume from the start of the Baxter run should also be considered.

Oooh both good choices! Sensor Girl - the hair! The blouse! The boxy shoulders! The attitude! Polar Boy - the collar! The Shoulder pads! The shiny WWF (or WWE?) belt!
I'll have to analyze both for their 80stastic properties...thanks Vee and Stealth.

I liked Dawnstar's Magic Wars costume from the 80's. Heck I liked Ultra Boy's as well. That's it for the Magic Wars. (ok i liked Cham's hood)

Great idea, LL! I often need reference pics, and most of the time just an issue number, so this will come in really handy for me. I'll also be happy to help when I can.
Thanks for the help - I decided to make it an all female list so I went with Sensor Girl and her pant suit/blouse costume.

And I think there were some others, like the red girl and the flying fish things that appeared in the issue Quislet, Tellus etc. joined in. Anyone know anything about them?

Now, just in case I'm wrong about you asking this question today of all days...are you playing LEGIOPARDY, also? If not, then I apologize, and you can forget I said anything...if I'm right, then SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
