Sparkle Tracy is looking good, and son Trey seems to be thriving. Astor knows them both, so it’s a pretty safe assumption that he has visited on prior occasions; he and Honeymoon are close pals. They could be entered in a Couples Division, which is not unusual at cosplay conventions, but as Neil noted above in a reply to Anyface that doesn’t seem to be indicated up to now.
We’ve now got Astor and Honeymoon, the three Margies, and Svengoolie all heading to the convention. Tomorrow, we add the bad guys, and no one should be asking, “who’s that?”
Upon reflection, I’m wondering if maybe Mike and Shelley have combined Cosmic Boy and Lightning Lad’s costumes together into a “Composite Legionnaire” – ‘Cosmic Lad’~!!
So hard to keep my hands quiet. So proud of my wife. Thought for a long time about who Honeymoon should cosplay as. Although Lum Invader is the obvious choice (horns, electric powers, and immediately recognizable), it was also the most definitely NOT choice as well (She isn’t wearing THAT! ). I hope you all like what she finally did settle on.
I like the discussion on Astor. I ain’t typing nuttin!
Since we’re talking about Legionaires, how about Homeymoon as Infectious Lass! The walking epidemic has horns. So does Chameleon Boy, but Honeymoon bald and orange… ?
Dear Joe, Suppose everyone likes this new series so much that they don’t want you to come back? Then you’ll have to do E-Man forever. Just kidding. Best, Nick

There’s Astor!
That outfit looks familiar, though we of course can’t trust the coloring.
Cosmic Boy?
Lightning Lad?

Is this the first time we’ve seen Trey since his birth?

Astro Boy?

If Trey is a founding member of the Legion, does that mean Honeymoon is cosplaying as Saturn Girl?
AnyFace over 7 years ago
Thinking about it, Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl were a couple in the comics, so maybe …?

The Legion members did change costumes more than once over the years.
Here’s how they appeared in their animated series a decade back …

The hairdo certainly looks like Astro Boy’s.

No offense to Shelley but I kind of like Joe’s Tess. Shelley’s Tess looks too young for her age.

Wonder if Astor’s brother will acquire a name at some point.

And what is the unseen ‘Best Part’ of Astor’s costume?

Hopefully, Sunday will feature both Astor and Honeymoon’s cosplays.

“Ms. Tracy”? Come on. Sparkle is happily married to Junior and has no problem being “Mrs. Tracy”.

Now wouldn’t the cosplay con be a perfect opportunity fpr a Moon Governor to surprise his granddaughter?

Chester Gould would roll over in his grave if he saw this. I’m sure someone is dialing up Matty now!

Could Honeymoon be going as her mother? (Wearing a red bodysuit that keeps her covered, but with gloves, boots and a wig…)

Might this be Honeymoon’s cosplay …?
