Introduction

The Imperial Guard is a team of super-powered individuals serving the Shi'ar Empire in the Marvel Universe. In their first appearance in the X-Men titles, they were designed (by Dave Cockrum, not long after he left the Legion books) specifically to have powers and costumes resembling various Legionnaires. This was originally to be part of an unofficial crossover where an X-Men analogue group would appear in a Legion story around the same time, but the Legion story never appeared.

From time to time, more Guardsmen have been introduced, usually (but not always) resembling one or more Legionnaires in powers if not costumes as well. Most of the Guardsmen were patterned after a Pre-Crisis Legionnaire, but some of the later ones were derived from the Post-Zero Hour Legion. However, not every Guardsman has a Legionnaire counterpart.
