Legion of Super Heroes
One of the great superhero teams of the sixties which I loved as a kid was the Legion of Superheroes. What was so different about them was that the stories were set a thousand years in the future, taking them out of the tired run-0f-the-mill DC format. In fact, I always thought it was a mistake having Superboy as a member but I guess that was a marketing decision.
In recent years, attempts have been made to revive the Legion, but in my opinion none of them have really worked and I would like to see a return to the classic legion of the sixties - there is still plenty of work to be done in providing adventures for the likes of Saturn Girl, Shadow Lass and my favourite of them all - Phantom Girl:
Oh - and couldn't we have a movie or better still a TV series? The rotating leads would make an excellent TV series.

I guess you haven't heard about the brand new animated Legion TV series that's starting up in the US in September...
Warner Bros are currently making an animated series of the LSH. There's been many omens that don't bode well for it, though, not least the fact that they've lost the rights to the term "Suberboy" now that they've reverted to the family of Jerry Siegel. That, and it seems to be largely based on one of the poorer "reboots" of the comic.
