Cosmic Powers #5-6 (July-August 1994) - written by Ron
Marz, art by Tom Grindberg (#5) and Scot Eaton (#6)
- Issue #5 features Morg and issue #6 features Tyrant. Legacy
plays a small role in both issues. He and Jack of Hearts join Thanos, Terrax, and
Ganymede against Tyrant. Legacy and the others do not do well in the match, however.

Powers #6.
Silver Surfer Annual #7 (Summer of 1994) - written by
Ron Marz, art by Tom Grindberg, Scot Eaton, and Ron Lim
- Legacy makes a small appearance in the main story, titled "To
Serve." In it, he talks with the Silver Surfer about what happened in
Cosmic Powers #4-6. The parts with Legacy are drawn by Tom Grindberg. The rest
of the story deals with Morg returning to Galactus's service to replace Firelord and
Airwalker. Silver Surfer faces Morg, after he defeats Firelord and Airwalker.
In the end, the Surfer and Galactus compromise. Morg stays as herald, but so does
Airwalker in Worldship's mainframe, with Firelord leaving. Legacy also stars in a
backup story called "Running From The Past," drawn by Ron Lim, where he
leaves Titan and goes to Calculex. There, he stops some thug. He is then
recognized as the son of Mar-Vell by some big aliens... thinking they're his father's
enemies, he denies it. Then, after they insist, he blasts them... but later learns
they just wanted to thank him because his father saved their lives. For more information, see our review!
Silver Surfer Vol. 3 #105-109 (June-October 1995) -
written by Mike Lackey, art by Tom Grindberg
- These issues offer an ongoing story, taking place on one or two pages
of each issue, starring Legacy, and leading up to issue #110. In issue #105, Legacy
stops some thugs from stealing a lady's purse... but the lady is upset because she is a
big actress and they were her fan club. In issue #106, he is thinking about how hard
it is to be a hero and remembering how helpful Silver Surfer was to him, when he is
approached by a woman on a small ship. Issue #107 focuses on this woman seducing
him, while he is in a depressed mood. In issue #108, Legacy is trying to find Silver
Surfer, after sensing something has happened to him. And issue #109 leads into #110,
with Legacy finding the Silver Surfer only to get lost when going into warp speed.

Silver Surfer Vol. 3 #110 (November 1995)
- written by Mike Lackey, art by John Buscema Issue
#110 leads up to Legacy's Captain Marvel series. In it, Legacy brings the Surfer to
Sylloqonia, a planet filled with partying and women. The Silver Surfer is disgusted
with it, while Legacy is enjoying the company of three women, who cost a lot of money for
their companionship. Finally, the Silver Surfer leaves only to recognize one of the
women. They both then find she is Nebula, a space pirate who is wanted 147
systems. The Silver Surfer and Nebula fight, while Legacy tries to get away from the
alien woman (from a few issues ago) who he since found out was a large, ugly creature in
its natural form. He does manage to leave the creature without breaking its
feelings, before the two depart company. |
