The Legion is a killer in the game Dead by Daylight that consists of friends Susie and Joey, as well as Frank and Julie.  Susie is the most timid of the group, having to be spurred on by her friends in order to participate in the murder that resulted in their becoming killers in the game.  Joey is an impulsive show-off, which helped him click with Frank almost immediately.  Whether you choose to recreate just one or all four of these looks together, the Legion offers a lot of room for creativity and finding a character design that suits your personality.

Robert McDowell is a sarcastic superhero that goes by the name Zenith. He appeared regularly in the sci-fi comic 2000 AD. He first appeared in 1987 and began to fade from the scene in 1992. But he still has plenty of fans and his creator – Grant Morrison – has become a popular writer for both DC and Marvel!

Given his active years, Zenith’s look is very distinctly late-80s and early-90s. He wears yellow pants and black mid-calf boots. The exact style varies from year to year but the colors remain the same. He also wears a black t-shirt with a yellow lightning bolt Z painted on it. His jacket – the final piece of his costume – varies from issue to issue. Sometimes it is a blue jacket with padded shoulders and black stripes. Other times it’s a blue and white Letterman’s jacket. And occasionally he wears a black bike cop jacket from the ’50s with studs in the shoulders. With all this change, though, two things stay the same: His styled black hair and the black mask around his eyes.
