Wait, so the guy won’t admit an underage, nubile girl traveling alone, but had she been with a “proper” escort it’s okay?

The LoShH Fashion Show Finale: The Swimsuit Competition.

Jan 27, 2006 in Legion of Super Heroes, LoSH Fashion Show!, Sexism, What Were They Thinking

Let’s wrap up our fashion show with a look at what the well-dressed 30th Century teenages is wearing.

Our first contestant is Tasmia “Shadow Lass” Mallor. This Talokian Tease was the first Legionnaire to wear beachwear into combat. let’s have a looksee, shall we?

Next up is that regal lady, Princess Projectra.

I actually do like this design, but its noteworthy for being one of the first, if not the first of the LoSH costumes that look like they were ordered from Fredricks of Winath.

This leaves us with the one you’ve all been waiting for… Saturn Girl’s infamous pink bathing suit!

While very popular, I have to ask….

Are Titanians immune to extremes of temperature? Because I always thought space was supposed to be cold!

That’s it for the fashion critiques for a while folks. Have a great weekend.

Jan 26, 2006 in Legion of Super Heroes, Sexuality, Superboy, What Were They Thinking

It’s not the first time Superman casually X-rays another male and it won’t be the last, so that doesn’t surprise me.

The fact that Ultra Boy would rather check out Clark than Lana? Yeah, that took me by surprise.

You know, the Legion of Superheroes are really cool. Where else can a teenager like Superboy hang out with kids with powers like himself, go on wacky adventures, get trapped to die a slow lingering death…

Wow. Apparently torture of prisoners is legal in the 30th Century.

Another TypoLad Guest Post…

Jan 23, 2006 in Religion, What Were They Thinking

This time I paid a visit to the nice folks at “Suspension of Disbelief”. The topic was the recent issue of Action Comics featuring Superman going to someone’s house for Friday Night Shabbos dinner.

Really.

Did They Just Not Know?

Jan 19, 2006 in Legion of Super Heroes, Sexuality, What Were They Thinking

Did the writer and editor of Adventure Comics # 376 just not know what “confirmed bachelor” was a euphemism for?

Or is Reep the first DC hero to ever come out on panel?
