I liked Polar boys spikey hair too -- way before his time... a real trend setter...
I didn't like the Subs as comic relief. I thought those comics were silly & were more "laugh at them" than "with them." Ambush Bug was good on his own, however.
The Subs would come in and "save the day" when the Legion was failing to save the universe. At least that's the way I remember them as being used, like a reserve group. When they proved themselves, they decided not to join the Legion.
Later, they began to join & it was "established" somewhere that they all would join the group. I think that they all had joined by the 5 year gap. I didn't like the 5 year gap Legion. The "comic" Subs or the 5 year gap -- didn't like either.

I'm another one who didn't like the Subs Special or DCCP. It's all very well to use established characters in "comedy" stories - but Giffen's comedy comics (these, AMbuish Bug and his JLI) aren't funny. At all! They're just not.

I liked the Giffen Subs stories, but I was always able to sort of think of them as outside continuity or just funny little stories meant to entertain, and I don't think they diminished my appreciation of the characters. I was really happy when Polar Boy joined the Legion because I thought he was an interesting character with a lot of potential, and always wished we'd seen more of him.
I thought his icicle hair was kind of interesting and cool, too.

Am I the only fan who realizes Cham is NAKED and what we consider his "costume" is just his malleable epidermis?
By the way, Steve, there's a post in the GoogleFight! thread you might be interested in, pertaining to total hits for your name versus Dave Cockrum's.

I'm sorry. I just thought that was funny.
Yeah, I noticed that after I wrote it but before I hit the "submit reply" button, and thought about changing it, but then decided I would just go with it. Maybe PB has developed a bit of telepathy and beamed that choice of words into my head without my knowing it. ;-)

Steve, did you hear about the comments Quesada made about Dave on his website? There's quite a thread going on about this!

Dave Cockrum is a good artist who has served this industry incredibly well. Both Marvel and DC Comics owe him a great debt for his innovative work on Legion & X-Men.
But, saying that, I've only stated what every knowledgeable comic fan already knows.
As a comic fan and artist, all I can really say to Mr. Cockrum is a sincere ... thanks.
When you and Paul created the Sensor Girl mystery, (a great concept!) did you both know from the beginning who her identity would be, or did it develope over time?

jafabian, I realize this thread has grown a lot since then, but the Sensor Girl story is how Steve started this thread. Check out page 1.
BTW, I write this with neither sarcasm nor ill will. I know how easy it is to seem like a jerk on these boards.

That's cool. It was really a cheap way to do bump anyhow.

Did you design Comet Queen? (or any of the other characters featured in that Legion recruitment issue guest starring Dev-Em)
Comet Queen predates Steve's tenure on the Legion. I take it she's a Giffen design. If you check out some of the early pages of this thread, you'll see discussion of some of the characters that Steve did create from the issue in question, though!
