The Legion of Super-Villains

Saturn Queen, Lightning Lord and Cosmic King are the founding members of the Legion of Super-Villains. Maybe. It depends on how old you are or how far back you have read comics. This rendition is a mix of different costumes and looks from different time periods. A very fun piece to do since I am such a Legion fan. Thanks to Tyler for this commission! This is ink on 11" x 17" Canson bristol board.

Yes, I'm old... >:P

I actually like the mix-and-match look of the three, although I kinda wished you gave Lightning Lord his "caped" look. I mean, a villain without a cape just doesn't cut it with this group...

I am old too and like any Legion characters to show up as often as possible...hero OR villain!!
Nice commission Tyler!!

I am not familiar with the characters, but the poses and the features on their faces does give a meanacing mood to the trio.

Don't care if she is bad, the Saturn Queen is kind of hot. Is she a red head:-)

Me too, LUD! These were the costumes and looks that Tyler requested, and I too like the mix. Though you gave me a scare about the cape. I had to go back and look at the refs provided to see if I missed it. Whew, I didn't! And remember what E said about capes: "NO CAPES!" ;)

Didn't mean to bring everyone down with the age issue. Yikes! ;) Glad you like them Royce!

Thanks Gary. And yes, Saturn Queen is a red head! :)

Gene, my bad. I went back into the archives and realized that I was thinking about his caped brother, Lightning Lad!

AUGH! My memory's going! I'm so OLD!!!
