The 'Imperial Guard' was a Claremont/(Byrne?? - I forget who was drawing
then)  take-off on the Legion, with Gladiator intended to be the Mon-El 
parody.  I seem to recall that John Byrne made similar comments on the 
nature of Kryptonian/Daxamite powers before Jones' article.  The X-Men/
Titans teamup magazine that was done was originally planned with the
Legion; when that fell through, Claremont et al. decided to have the
X-Men face the 'Legion' anyway.
