Fun Fact: The pink/black Element Lad costume was designed by a young Tom Bierbaum, who would later be a writer during the 5YL Legion with Keith Giffen

I liked the Cosmic Boy costume precisely because it was so outlandish. The LSH being set in the year 3000 or so, it was normal for things like fashions to look weird. (The upgraded XVIIIth century look of the five years later period was also cool, when it comes to clothes).

I'm not a fan of Saturn Girl's pink bathing suit, either. . . . ![]() The exact opposite. I loved the look of Saturn Girl’s pink bikini. Unfortunately, it was completely out of character. Dave Cockrum was obviously asked to update the costumes with regard to powers and visuals, not personalities. Or maybe the editor was unaware that she was one of the few Legionnaires with a personality. But I loved that era so much that even Tyroc's look didn't bother me. |

I do agree with you on that last statement. I love that era so much that there's nothing there I really dislike, just things I don't like as much as some others. |

I would say that Jan's 5YG costume was actually his best. Most of the other costumes from that era didn't make a lot of sense, but the coat and walking stick reflected that Jan had matured into something of a cosmic wanderer and philosopher.

I'm not a fan of Saturn Girl's pink bathing suit, either. I prefer her Silver Age costume. I don't think I'm a real big fan of any of Element Lad's costumes. I guess this one is my farotie, even though I don't much care for this one, either:  ![]() Maybe with a hair style better than that perm I could stomach that costume. |

"Jan? What are these fake sideburns doing on your dresser?"

The exact opposite. I loved the look of Saturn Girl’s pink bikini. I love the look, I hate that people call it a pink bikini. That's NOT a bikini. |
