    Default Top reasons why Marvel should get the rights to Youngblood

    I’m a big fan of Youngblood thus I think Marvel should get the rights to Youngblood from the publishing company that I’m not exactly sure of the name but hereÂ’s my reasons:
    1) Youngblood and Supreme would be a great addition
    2)Badrock just says Disney
    3)Supreme and Suprema are way cooler than Sentry
    4) Youngblood would be a great rivalry for the Avengers
    5) Cable would have more friends
    6) Spider-Man and Hawkeye would be able to hit on Suprema Vogue and Riptide
    7) Badrock misses Spider-Man & Wolverine
    8) Liefeld would be able to work with writers that wonÂ’t quit during the first issue
    9) Hawkeye, Winter Soldier and Falcon could lead Team Youngblood
    10) I would be able to get Youngblood monthly instead of every blue moon

    I know people aren’t a Liefeld fan but I really like Badrock, Suprema and Riptide

    Supreme? Doesn't Marvel already have enough Superman homages running around with Gladiator, Hyperion, Miracleman (who is more Shazam than Superman, but according to the courts, Shazam = Superman, so...) and others? More to the point, aren't all of Liefeld's creations basically reinterpretations/knock-offs of existing characters from other publishers? Not an original concept in the bunch.

    If Marvel were to buy Youngblood, the odds are pretty high that they'll just bury the property like it did with Ultraverse, CrossGen, etc., etc. You might be lucky enough to get a story arc or two out of it, but I doubt any of those characters stick around. As it stands, they're having a hard enough time fitting Angela into the scheme of things without it seeming forced.

    I'd love to see Liefeld's characters in the MU. That dude that stole them from Liefeld isn't even doing anything with them anyway and doesn't seem like he'll come out with anything.

    See, I disagree with having them be chumming with the Avengers. I'd set them up as X-men rivals. They would be the X-Men equivalent to Squadron Supreme. Mutant heroes from another dimension stuck in our world.
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    With a name like Youngbloods, they sound like a street gang. Isn't there a teen group of Avengers, New Mutants, Strange Academy, Power Pack, Tadpole Thor Frogs, something, that they can square off against?
