Agreed. But I still like McCulloch better than Scudder, who had no personality at all. I didn't shed a single tear when Scudder was killed in CoIE. And I was relieved that Johns' plans to bring Scudder back to life were terminated.

There are legacies with tremendous potential that is never quite there in the execution, because of bad editors and bad writing. Hawkgirl Kendra, for instance.

In hindsight, it was a terrible time, but I convinced myself for a few years that I was having fun. Maybe because my gateway to that era was the final issue of Green Lantern Rebirth, rather than Identity Crisis.

Yes. I think the current EiC, Marie Javins, has done a pretty good job of turning the company around.

I'd definitely be tickled pink if someone reading the fics here got inspired, and went on to write the canon Legion!

I'd certainly be flattered if one or more of my ideas ended up in canon -- I've been theorizing lately that DC is planning to continue the 5YL Legion, and while I'm not a fan of that era, I actually am quite proud of that 5YL continuation fic that I wrote a few years ago.

I'm of the opinion that any version of the Legion is worth continuing, though there's some I'd be more interested in than others.

How do you think this hypothetical writer should deal with the "Ranzz Twins In Blackface" problem? Seriously, I don't see any way around it.

I do think there's an interesting story to be told, which is where I thought Bendis was headed originally, about restoring the destroyed Earth.
Bendis has a bad habit of not following through on what he sets up. I will concede that there might be potential in some of those neglected ideas.
(But Thorn is not one of them.)
(I couldn't resist sneaking that in there.)
Also, the very fact that so many characters were given little to no characterization actually gives a writer a lot of blank slates to work with.
Good point well taken.
My pick for breakout new character (before I gave up on Bendis altogether) was Monster Boy.

Again, it wouldn't be my top choice, and I haven't put a lot of thought into it, nor do I want to at the moment, bit I wouldn't automatically write ir off as unsalvageable. I would definitely ignore the whole Futute's End thing or wahtever it was called, because I'm pretty sure that was just horrible.

Oh, absolutely!
Another one that I'd highly favor would be picking up the Postboot right where it left off with the Simone/Jurgens storyarc.

Sounds great!
I also think that if there's a Postboot Nightwind, then there should be a Postboot Lamprey.

Cool.
Years ago, I wrote a short, in-canon, single-post fic about the Preboot Nightwind & Lamprey. I was happy with how it turned out.
I might someday write a new fic with the same characters and criteria, taking place around the time of the classic tryouts issue from the Baxter era.

I kind of suspect they suffered from being fan creations. Creative teams have tended to prefer their own creations, so Nightwind and Lamprey have never really had anyone to really push for their membership.

That might also help explain the neglect suffered by Shadow Lass. That, and the whole "created to die" thing you've pointed out before.

I didn't have that one, but I did have the Grover Hide & Seek book. I can still remember most of it, especially when he tries to hide behind word balloons.
