1970s-era Superman comics had minor supporting characters:
- Gossip columnist Lola Barnett based on Rona Barrett

From the Legion, Tyroc was based on Fred Williamson.
That's great, although Fred Williamson seemed obvious in Grell's take, never knew he had acknowledged him.
He also acknowledges the over-the-top high collar, buttons and chains costume after Elvis. Although the theme was more than common throughout the ere ...EW&F's Maurice White
All together was one sensational combo!
Grell - "I modeled him somewhat on Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, who was a movie star at the time...and gave him this "Elvis Presley goes to Las Vegas" kind of a costume, and that's pretty much it. That was the extent of my contribution to Tyroc".
