All of this is reminding me of Tyroc's still-untapped potential! I hope DeFalco is wise enough to give Troy a big spotlight and delve into his history and origin. It would be a shame for this not to happen when he is part of a Legion book with a comparatively small cast.

Did the Darkstars even exist in current DCnU continuity?

Well, at the moment it appears that even Donna troy may not exist in DCnU continuity! We'll have to keep an eye on the GL books to see if the Darkstars or even L.E.G.I.O.N. still exist. (I wouldn't hold out too much hope for the Darkstars between the two given its relative obscurity.)

Playing devil's advocate...would being a descendant of John Stewart automatically make him a legacy character? If he doesn't actually have anything to do with the Green Lantern mythos, it could just be nothing more than an interesting bit of background....the same way over at Marvel, Franklin Richards joined Power Pack as Tattletale, but it's not like he was specifically honoring his parents in the Fantastic Four or basing his identity on them. Granted, it would be unlike comics (and DC specifically) NOT to over exploit a family connection, but it is possible at least...
Having said that, I can understand the concern with making Tyroc and John related as it can be seen to imply "well of course they're connected, they're both black!" I remember way back in the day when I was reading Generation X and they implied that M (Algerian) was related to Gateway (stereotypical mysterious indigenous Australian from the outback) and thinking that was equally insulting...

Whether or not there's any connection to John, the fact is that the incredibly Anglicized name does seem to stand in need of explanation.
