My only thought for a possible tweak is that, while I’m glad he lost the ponytail, I think Genis should have looser hair since he’s not really a serious, militaristic guy. Yet he maintains a classic, romantic superhero style. Genis-Vell now had cosmic awareness and this guy here really looks like someone connected to the heart of the universe. The star field is a great idea and it’s a wise decision to just give him trousers rather than the dated shorts outside of trousers look. This is a very cool, cosmic update of the classic Mar-Vell design. All kidding aside, this look actually suits the casual and naive Genis-Vell pretty well.Īs for the costume, this is a winner right here. Two things I might lose are the head gear (it’s not attached to anything and serves no purpose) and the fact that Genis rolls up his jacket sleeves. I’m assuming he bought the sleeveless Captain Mar-Vell shirt at a local gift shop. So we’ve got a blue, then red-and-blue jacket, along with simple boots and red trousers. The first few times we saw him, he wore an outfit that is very in keeping with the late 80s, early 90s idea of giving superheroes an “off-the-rack” look that involved stylized civilian clothing rather than customized bodysuits sans seams. Wanting to be a hero like his old man, he went out and branded himself with the name “Legacy,” following the popular 90s habit of adopting a codename referencing a concept or object. Have you seen Frozen yet? It’s wonderful.Īnyway, Genis-Vell wound up a young adult in just a few years and was then given a pair of Nega-Bands created for him (Mar-Vell’s bands were buried with him and then used to create a bomb). This sounds right up there with the misguided parenting seen in Frozen. Later on, she got worried that the captain’s enemies might want to harm the kid, so she raised him in isolation and sped up his aging with sciency things to ensure he could defend himself sooner. With genetic samples of Mar-Vell and advanced tech, she conceived Genis. After his death, she couldn’t handle the grief and loneliness and decided she would have Mar-Vell’s child. Mar-Vell had met Elysius during his superhero days and the two fell in love. ![]() The oddly named Genis was the son of Captain Mar-Vell and Elysius, an artificially created woman from Titan, home of a sect of the long-lived and powerful Eternals (that’s Thanos’ people, by the way). ![]() Genis-Vell debuted up in the pages of Silver Surfer Annual #6 in 1993, written by Ron Marz and with art by Joe Phillips, Bob Almond and Ericka Moran, with Ron Lim doing the cover art.
