Could the Legion of Doom Carry a Book? And Who Should Be on the Roster, if. . .?

. . . you're limited to 1 villain per rogues gallery?

Si Spurrier.
Aaron Kuder.

Brainiac.
Doctor Hurt.
Silver Swan.
Ocean Master.
Ma'aleafa'ak.
Phantom Lantern.
Mirror Master.

The original 13 member line-up is still the best IMO:

Lex Luthor
Brainiac
Bizarro
Toyman
Riddler
Scarecrow
Cheetah
Giganta
Black Manta
Sinestro
Gorilla Grodd
Captain Cold
Solomon Grundy

They totally could, although you would have to write it in a way where it makes sense that the League wouldn’t immediately shut them down. I’d go with a lineup of:

Brainiac
Bane
Circe
The Fisherman
Captain Cold
Atrocitus
Protex
Queen Shrike

Creative team wise I’d go with Dan Watters and Doug Mahnke

Sure. It would have to be a Villian versus Villian story. Like the Legion decides to take on Darkseid.

They could fight the heroes of other worlds or of other countries, long as they aren’t killing Leaguers there’s no plot armor protecting other heroes. But yeah they would also totally be fighting with other villains.

Yes they can, make a multiverse team where they’re taking on the Crime Syndicate for control of Earth 3! My lineup would be:

Lex Luther
The Joker
Cheetah
Black Manta
Reverse Flash
Sinestro
Black Adam
Deathstroke
Killer Frost

With the right hook a LoD title could work. The Superior Foes of Spider-Man managed to be a critical darling, it's not beyond the LoD to at least churn out a decent run.

You wouldn't even necessarily need them to deal with "even evil-er" threats. Handled correctly, with the right goals, you could put the LoD against heroes. As the stars of the book the LoD has to eek out something resembling a victory (Aat least in most arcs), but that doesn't *have* to mean dead heroes or world tyranny either.

As for a roster....I think it'd be more important to get some interesting, quality villains with flexible goals, rather than just grabbing each Leaguer's archnemesis and throwing them into a group.

So perhaps something like.....

Lex Luthor.
Ra's al'Ghul.
Black Adam.
Ocean Master.
Vandal Savage.
Eclipso.
Granny Goodness.
Neron (or Blaze, if you wanna get more women in there).

[center]Agreed. The assemblage is truly impeccable (IMHO):

Bizarro
Poison Ivy
Veronica Cale
Phantom Lantern
Trickster
Merlyn
Black Adam

Ditto, why change a good thing.

I like this idea. Especially if you play up the work place comedy aspect like JLU did. It would be interesting if you put them on Earth 3 and have them fight the CSA and try to rule that world.

I would go with:

Lex Luthor

Riddler

Giganta

Reverse Flash

Star Sapphire

Black Manta

The Wizard

Count Vertigo

I think it totally could be a book...people have said they'd have to fight other/worse villains, but who's to say they can't have victories over the heroes, too? Not everything has to be life/death or world-toppling...smaller victories can help sell the point too.

Anyway, my line-up. One rogue per gallery, per the rules, but still attempting to get to thirteen members. Going for something a bit different, a bit darker, more sinister and cerebral:

1. Lex Luthor (Superman)
2. Bane (Batman)
3. Doctor Poison (Wonder Woman)
4. Black Manta (Aquaman)
5. Savitar (Flash)
6. Black Hand (Green Lantern)
7. Bette Noir (Martian Manhunter)
8. Onomatopoeia (Green Arrow)
9. White Canary (Black Canary)
10. Lion-Mane (Hawkman)
11. Chronos (Atom)
12. Killer Frost (Firestorm)
13. Sabbac (Shazam)

I love the original lineup, but there's a certain trapped in amber sense with them. These guys are always going to be around and they're never really going to change much. I think a new series should be a reinvention, the way Mystique reinvented the Brotherhood over on X-Men. I think I'd be more interested in a newer lineup where more unexpected things could happen seeing a bunch of villains we've never seen interact with one another.

I'd be interested in:
- Black Adam (yes, make him a full-on villain again)
- Bane
- Cyborg Superman
- Black Hand
- Silver Swan
- Johnny Sorrow
- Emerald Empress
- Blackfire
- Dr Psycho
- Queen Bee

for me, only if it's funny

So The Riddler, Scarecrow, Luthor, Grundy...
