We haven't seen Vril Dox in the new 52 universe yet!
I'd love to see a connection.
I'd also like to see if any of Bedard's changes to the Legionnire worlds will continue in this new universe. Starhaven's origin, in particular, was changed rather drastically in his dotREBELS storyline.

Agree with all on T-Wolf and to an extent, Brainy. From DC's viewpoint, these titles are being marketed to new readers, so they don't care about previously-told origin stories. But as a long-time reader, I know that Gates and Yera have never had "true" origin stories at all before. We've only ever had bits and pieces of theirs.
For that matter, why focus on only one Legionnaires per issue? I'd love a Who's Who type issue where each page focuses on a different Legionnaire. Sure, it's not in-depth, but I can find out just as much from a text piece as I can from a full-isse story nowadays. Or compromise - split the 22 pages among 4-6 Legionnaires.
