Great futuristic costume design with the puffy sleeves and dark color scheme. It fits with the bad guy characters to have purple and black in their look. Hembeck's facial expressions are what keeps these fresh.

The original costumes - and Fred mostly uses them - of the founding members of the Legion of Super-Villains (LSV) were based on the costumes of their counterparts in the LSH. Hence, for example, the space helmet here in Cosmic King - Cosmic Boy also wore one when the LSH was founded. The best way to see this is to compare the covers of Adventure Comics #247 (1st LSH) - www.comics.org/issue/14358 - and Superman #147 (1st LSV) - www.comics.org/issue/16384.
