I would like to see her try-out costume, her Origin story, on Talok growing up outfit(s), both in the reboot and her nun/mourning robes in TMK, though, if you ever get the time and inclination.

Shady really did have some great looks, especially considering the limited color palette she works with. I loved the leather and noir look of the Threeboot as well as her 80s bodysuits. Superboy's Legion Shady also had a great visual.
Here's a few more Postboot Legionnaires: Jazmin and Gear. Kid Quantum II is one of my favorite Legionnaires, waned only by her overexposure near the end of DnA's run. Gear was a great concept that never got time to shine. I loved him in Giffen's fill-in issue of The Legion.
Coming one day (probably not soon) ... Chemical King, Thunder, and Timber Wolf.

loved and still love Chemical King...I think his costume is one of the best Legion ever...green and black - so simple. I remember seeing him wearing a "C" on his belt before...but I cannot recall which issue of SLSH he did have a C belt. so you did a awesome job on Condo! I sure miss him! I was hoping that there is a way that he could be brought back alive...but nah..because we have Chemical Kid now in Legion! *grumble*

As near as I could tell, the 'C' belt was only from the cover of his death issue in S&LSH. That didn't surprise me too much. Going through Condo's appearances, I realized his costume changed literally every artist - sometimes mid-issue. The basics were always the same, but the boot shape, cuffs, belt, and collar would always mutate and the color scheme occasionally shifted.
Instead of doing all the little variations, I just did the most common variation I saw - him going between brown V boots and black standard boots. Of course, the color scheme flipped a lot on both, but it gets the point across I hope.
With that in mind, his Postboot appearances are very amusing. He only made a few small cameos and visits, but when he did he was always wearing the same outfit - just colored differently. His skin color would darken a little as well, usually from page to page. I thought it was just color goofs, which surprised me from McCraw, until I realized they may be paying homage to Condo's constantly shifting uniform. His first postboot micro, a formal look, changed colors (as did Condo himself!) every scene jump we did.

Maybe he was using his power on the pigmentation process of dyes in his clothing and in his skin?
It would be kind of a neat addition to him that he was *always* using his powers-- that he had to really concentrate to turn them completely off.
I'm glad you didn't do a zombiefied version from the 5YL book.
I always wished Grell had given him one of his skimpy costumes- at least for an issue or two. It would completely have made sense for him to go back to his fully-covered uniform, due to his personality. But if Imra would wear what she wore, I think *any* Legionnaire would show some skin.
