It was clear leading up to its premiere that FX’s Legion wasn’t really going to be like any other comic book TV show in history.
But one thing that wasn’t clear about Legion beforehand, was what comic book connections or supporting characters fans could look forward to seeing appear throughout it.
In fact, aside from David himself, practically all of the characters in the series have been original creations by Hawley and co.
Unsurprisingly, it’s even earned critical acclaim for its audacious storytelling structure, and that very same commitment to playing fast and loose with reality.
