Shout out to the 2 other Invisible kid fans out there. Yes Querlyle is very cute but I think Lyle's other boyfriend deservers some love! So here's some Chemical king concepts
I know the Wiki has Condo listed as a Metahuman but I wanted to draw a chemical alien! I'm sorry!
[IMG ID: Two hand drawn panels. Top panel is Lyle Norg and Jacques Foccart completely in silhouette. Jacques has his hand on the back of Lyle's chair and has the speech bubble "Will you make the journey with me?". Journey is underlined. Second panel is in full color with a close up on Jacques and Lyle's eyes. Lyle is in the foreground with Jacques behind him. There is a speech bubble from Lyle that reads "Yes." In this art, Lyle is depicted as a lighter skinned Black man with a yellow durag and a green earring. END ID.]
Redraw of panels from Tales of the Legion #316.
What if you were dead years before I would have ever had the chance to meet you? What if I took the serum that gave you your powers to save my sister and took your title to join the Legion you once led? What if I found you in the land of dreams and rescued you? What if I was willing to go back just so we could find answers together? And we were both Invisible Kids?
Kept Jacques' original design because I love it and he's so handsomes. I made Lyle also Black. I gave him a durag after it came to me while looking at his stupid headband. I also gave him an earring that looks like the dot in the 'i' of his costume.
Original panels under the cut
Drawn for @creatingblackcharacters 's Melanin Beam Challenge
[IMG ID: Two professional panels from Tales of the Legion #314. Top panel is Lyle Norg and Jacques Foccart completely in silhouette.

My HC for Lyle Norg's birth is that he was a tank baby and his parents neglected him even before he was born. Most parents visit their growing child, read to them, play music, are interested in where they are in development etc but Lyle's parents only visited a handful of times.
The medical staff thought that was very unusual, but the Norgs were politicians and did say they might be busy, but what they had never seen before was when Lyle was fully developed and ready to be "born" the Norgs.... didn't show up.
