Interesting idea, but I think you’d need to change a bunch of stuff. Like, Legion still probably has more agency than the women in the Bouebeards Bride. Would you be exploring the wider world?
that’s true. However, in the TV show, there is a recurrence of scenes (with no spacial/temporal links) which maybe can be exploited.
If you don’t change anything, then it’s more horror-themed than superhero-themed — the hero is doomed to learn the sinister secret lurking in her own heart, the one that will destroy her utterly.
Change Bluebeard’s mansion to a memory palace and you’re basically ready to go:

Stuart Pate Great Input that this memory place/method of loci. The different playbooks have still to be redefined to reflect the different personalities/abilities of Legion but thank you, this approach corresponds to what I have in mind. Does one have idea on how to handle the Shadow King in game terms?
Well, in the original game, Bluebeard has “stepped out,” but he’s omnipresent — symbolically, he’s the mansion you’re trapped inside. Same with the astral plane, then: Shadow King can be both prison and jailer — it might be your memory palace, but the Shadow King is why you can’t leave, and is the one tormenting you with your memories. More malignant presence than actual entity.
You can even hint the various inhabitants you meet are really different forms of the Shadow King. He hasn’t stepped out, he’s in your head!
Stuart Pate Great input again. I checked the wikipedia entry for Legion en.wikipedia.org – Legion (Marvel Comics) – Wikipedia and there is a great list of personalities/powers.
