    Default What characters would you want in a L.E.G.I.O.N. '23 revival

    If DC Comics would (wisely) do a revival of L.E.G.I.O.N. ('23) book, who would you want on the team? And any ideas who you would want as writer and artist?

    Some of the characters in the '89 - '94 book:

    Vril Dox II (of course)
    Lyrissa Mallor (revived)
    Stealth
    Strata
    Garryn Bek
    Lobo
    Phase
    Marij'n Bek
    Lady Quark
    Captain Comet
    Telepath
    Lydea Mallor
    Borb Borbb
    Amon Hakk

    I wish DC would give us a new L.E.G.I.O.N. or R.E.B.E.L.S. title. or some other space-opera book. So many characters with so much potential.

    • Vril Dox – Obviously. The Coluan, descendent of the feared Braniac. Vril Dox is a cold and calculating genius that stops at nothing to achieve his goal. With his own twisted sense of justice, Dox, armed with an impenetrable force field, puts together a mercenary task force to bring the law to those who can pay for his services.
    • Stealth – Stealth is an accomplished fighter, capable of generating a camouflage field around her that negates sound and makes her almost invisible.
    • Phase – Amnesiac ghost like woman, who may be from a different dimension or an actual dead person.
    • Garryn Bek - But a less cowardly and inefectual Garryn Bek. He can be cynical and disillusioned, but Bek must often serve as one more moral compass for Dox.
    Maybe he can have a special weapon or suit to make him stand out.
    • Strata –
    • Wildstar -
    • Lydea Darkstar –
    • Lady Quark– .
    • Lobo – Works occasionally for Dox in exchange for payment, however Dox tricks him into making this arrangement permanent.
    • Telepath – Though a mutant, Telepath comes from an insectoid race, and lives in perpetual fear of Dox.
    • Cinji – Durlan Assassin completely loyal to Dox.
    • The Wrath of Kundia – Amon Hakk, exiled Khund warrior, weapons expert who uses a cannon sleeve over his left arm.
    • Adam Strange – Defender of the planet Rann. His smarts are his greatest weapon. Crafty and quick-witted, Strange, alongside Comet, is the greatest challenge to Dox's leadership.
    • Captain Comet – Adam Blake, a man born a hundred thousand evolutionary years ahead of his time. Blake is super-strong, practically invulnerable and a high order telepath, telekinetic and teleporter. Comet is probably Dox's only intelectual rival, and probably the only one on the team that can go toe to toe with Dox's personal bodyguard, Lobo.

    Peace

    That's a great group right there. I particularly like the inclusion of Adam Strange.

    It hit me that I forgot to add Garv to the OP. I don't remember much about him other than he was pink and was in a relationship with Strata.

    My List:

    Vril Dox II
    Lyrissa Mallor - someone who can go toe to toe with Dox
    Stealth - but no baby with Dox this time
    Strata
    Garryn Bek - still has powers from the Emerald Eye
    Lobo
    Lady Quark - too powerful not to be included
    Captain Comet
    Telepath - necessary abilities for the group
    Borb Borbb
    Adam Strange
    Katar Hol - Thanagarian police officer who goes by the name Katar; ability to fly with wings; excellent fighter and hand-to-hand combat; born leader who will clash constantly with Dox; joins group hoping to locate his wife who is missing.

    When the United Order proves a failure, Vril Dox starts a ploy to make L.E.G.I.O.N. the new official police force of the expanding United Planets. He gathers allies and enemies he wants to keep an eye on to reform the group.

    Vril Dox (Colu)
    Supergirl (Krypton)
    Wildstar (Starhaven)
    Strata (Dryad)
    Blackstar (Tamaran)
    Lobo (Kzarnia)
    Adam Strange (Rann)
    Hawkslayer (Thanagar)
    Amon Hakk (Khund)
    Xylon (Dominion)
    Ciji (Durla)

    This L.E.G.I.O.N. would be a collection of characters from DC’s most well-known planets. A less heroic precursor to the Legion concept.
    I’d have them star in a relaunched Adventure Comics run that would set out to be the flagship book for DC’s non-GLC cosmic side.

    Whatever roster I request The Main Woman, Layla. She's member of LEGION too and I'd love to see her remembered and DC is referencing the New Bloods a bit more lately.

    Lyrissa Mallor needs to stay dead. I'm frankly sick of the younger generation's habit of crying "foul!" and "that's not fair!" whenever a character is killed off. Death isn't fair, bitches. And quite frankly, fans need to have it beaten into their heads that they can't have everything that they want.

    Must haves are:

    Vril Dox (Brainiac 2)
    Stratta
    Stealth
    Phase (Phantom Girl of the Terrifics)
    Lady Quark
    Garv
    Telepath
    Amon Hakk
    Lydea Mallor
    Wildstar
    Zena Moonstruck
    Taptree

    People who would be called in now and then as the need arises:

    Lobo
    Captain Comet
    Adam Strange
    Maxima
    Rick Starr

    I would also like to see Vril fold in some of the former Darkstars as sort of his Tactical team:

    Ferrin Colos
    Merayn Dethalis
    Rayyana
    Epernix
    Charlie Vicker
    Tarrant
    Kwintz
    Chaser Bron

    The thread title clearly says "characters you would want..."

    I normally would agree with you but Lyrissa remains my all-time favorite member of the group and her death was meaningless to me. The writers did too good of a job making her a vital member of the book IMO.

    I really like your idea and would love to see how Kara would get along with Dox. And a hate/love/hate relationship between Blackstar and Lobo would be so much fun.
