New Members of REBELS (spoilers)

[werehawk]

Is Tony adding every non-lantern cosmic hero to REBELS?
Is this a good or bad idea or mixed bag?

We've seen Adam Strange and Comet join. The April solicit shows Starfire on the REBELS team. (Although she is also supposed to be on JLA?).

These members make sense as all are well known cosmic heroes and will bring in readers. Plus Comet was in LEGION and Adam Strange was supposed to be (but was replaced by Comet).

Who else should join? Anyone have a vote?

Omega Men have been in REBELS but maybe Tony should make REBELS into LEGION again and have a giant cast (like the LSH) including Omega Men. What about a Lantern or two once Blackest Night is over? Be nice to see a Green and another color on the same team. Also, how about Golden Eagle (the Thangarian)? A Kryptonian? Mon-El again? Lobo (we know Tony wants him)? Lots of possibilities out there.

I'd say no to a Kryptonian but a Thanagarian would be good particularly if Vril gets to play him and Adam against each other to get them to do what he wants.

I think an character or two from LSH planets could be cool, like Lyrissa Mallor was in the original series. Maybe somebody from Braal.

Tony's not doing a good job of spreading the spotlight among the characters he has now. I don't think a 20+ character team is a good idea.

Starfire is joining.

Sweet.

That would be one of the best ways to live up to the Legion standard of encompassing darn near everyone.

Some good choices. I'll add the kids from NEXTWave and surviving Darkstars. Also, there was a Roger Stern story in Action Comics in which Superman meets a hero while flying around space just after he fought Lobo in a Man of Steel/LEGION crossover...I've been wondering what happened to him.
