Nice!
That era of LSH costumes is known to some fans as "the Naked Legion".
^_^
Tyroc should probably meet Power Man, too..
Ross, this is HILARIOUS! The really funny thing is that when Tyroc premiered (I was 14 or 15 at the time) his costume didn't strike me as being particularly out of the ordinary.
If you decide to eventually create an entire team of heroes with hideous outfits (and I think you should) I dominate Jericho from the Teen Titans in his original costume and the bare midriff version of Thor.
Laughing at Tyroc's outfit moreso since I heard Mike Grell himself saying he deliberately made T's outfit as awful as possible figuring the higher ups would ask for another suit. To his utter surprise , they accepted his first draft . "The more you know ._."
In the far future would great changes in fashion really happen (as opposed to the future of Legion of Superheroes, Jetsons, etc.)?
I do not (ahem) dominate Jericho and bare midriff Thor, but rather I NOMINATE them.
I suspect that it's Mr. Mxyzptlk working in cahoots with a renegade Critic (incessantly complaining off-shoot of the Watchers).
What did it for me with Tyroc's costume was the chest chains. That was a head-scratcher. Never mind the shoes.
If you want a group with bad costumes, though, you should at least consider Jack of Hearts and the Golden Age Atom.
"...All I've got is a fair to middlin' punch." - The Atom (Golden Age from The All Star Squadron (Annual?)).
I forgot one other, very signifiant person for this sartorially-challenged team: The Sixth Doctor.
The first costume of the adult Earth-Two Robin earns him a nomination for the "Bad Dressers" team as well.
@JH3: as in, the 1970's jive-talking sense of "So bad, it's good?"
I'll probably be howled down, but I nominate Power Girl's costume, particularly the versions with the window.
No you will not be howled down; strange comments from Anonymous posters are usually ignored. Read the annual for explanation in discussion between Power Girl and Cyclone (Maxine Hunkel) about it. I really miss the JSA.
Well, Mike Grell did that on purpose. He hated the character idea for Tyroc so much -- from a black separatist society (the only black society left on Earth), whose power was SCREAMING REALLY LOUDLY -- that he wanted to make the character look so ridiculous that he would never be used again.
The society literally would disappear and reappear like Brigadoon. This was regarded as a good idea by DC for why no black people had been seen in the 31st century to that point (Ferro Lad, who Shooter intended to be black, was kept masked to avoid bad sales in the South.)
@JHIII: I thought the gray unitard-with-yellow-cape look was pretty badass (for its time)!
As for Tyroc's look? Make Hanna-Barbera's "Young Samson" the ultimate scapegoat.
