“An Eye for an Eye, a Villain for a Hero!”

This striking December 1984 cover, penciled by Keith Giffen and inked by Larry Mahlstedt, presents a chilling tableau: a white-haired figure in black stands triumphant atop a heap of fallen Legionnaires, clutching a tattered pink banner aloft against a stormy yellow sky crackling with energy. The sheer number of colorfully costumed heroes piled beneath her feet makes the image feel genuinely unsettling — a villain's moment of dominance rendered with real dramatic weight. With Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen at the helm of the story "An Eye for an Eye, a Villain for a Hero!", this fifth issue of the 1984 series promises the kind of high-stakes Legion storytelling that made this era so compelling.
