Say one of you got a chance to rebuild the Legion (I'm going to avoid using reboot here) but with only five characters with the possibility of slowly expanding that to actual Legion levels. Which ones would you pick and why?
Personally, I think the 'Legion of Substitute Heroes' is the best way to build the Legion. You have the underdogs and the out casts, which is an immediate hook and still a popular trope and you can slowly expand that to include the bigger Legion of Superheroes.
