Dave Cockrum's Designs

Drawn pre X-men's New Genesis this proves nothing creative ever goes to waste.

The Outsiders was a Legion spinoff that never made it. The group was to consist of: Nightcrawler, Reflecto, Typhoon, Quetzal, Power Boy,Trio

We know about Nightcrawler of the X-Men. Power Boy looks like a guy with "atomic fists" or something. Trio is in all likelihood a Carggite, like Triplicate Girl from the LSH. Quetzal would be the winged woman, whose name evokes the flying god Quetzalcoatl. That leaves Typhoon as the generic-looking guy with the early 70's Cockrum-ish costume."

The Devastators was another group that Cockrum proposed for the Legion, this a team of villains. The group was to consist of (clockwise from top): Belladonna, Sidewinder, Manta, Tyr, Wolverine

Tyr became a Legion solo villain. Wolverine looks like he became the Imperial Guardsman Fang aka Legion's TImber Wolf. Belladonna is in the center with the whip.

Check out the site below for anything you may want to know about the LSH, but were afraid to ask. The site has been around
for years and is one of the first I bookmarked when I first began "surfing the web". If you want to read Interlac...visit 'Bits O' Legionnaire Business'.

  1. I liked this article better when it appeared on my web site at http://lsh.0catch.com/lsh/cockrum.htm, but maybe that's just me.
