    Wouldn't it have to be Doctor Who? Even though they're all technically the same character?

The X-Men roster can change from time to time, like the Avengers. I wouldn't call any iteration of the Avengers a legacy title. Stan and Jack changed the roster all the time.

    Is Gandalf the legacy character in Lord of the Rings?

    Differentiating spinoffs from series where someone takes the name of another character is an interesting challenge.

    I wonder if the Human Torch counts.

    Why? Are we saying the Hobbit is a codename?
    If so, would that make Sam the new Hobbit?

    Yes but LotR's had Bilbo, Gandalf and Gollum from the Hobbit that carried over to LotR's (bookwise Legolas wasn't in The Hobbit). I can see Gandalf as sort of a Prof. X/Cyclops.

    I think Adam Park from Power Rangers would count. He replaced Zack as the Black Ranger and went on to outlast his predecessor's tenure on the show.

    My favorite would be Dick Grayson replacing Bruce as Batman, but unfortunately that didn't stick.

    So, Dread Pirate Roberts then.
