Great idea! It never occurred to me to think of accents! This would actually be a great way for Waid to differentiate the Legionnaires -- give them different colloquialisms, pronunciations and vocabulary sets. This is one of the best things about Fantastic Four (which Waid writes very well, IMO).
Brainy as Dexter is brilliant! (Although I somehow imagine Mr. Burns for Brainy, as well, mainly because my boss has a 12th-level intelligence and frequently lapses into Burns.)
Since I am fond of my adopted home town, I would love to see a Legionnaire with a Chicago accent/sensibility: a combination of plain-spokeness (not rudeness) and street-smarts, expressed in Dem/Dese/Dose. I think Cosmic Boy would be good candidate (magnetism = rust belt/poverty). It would be great if more Legionnaires were more working-class heroes rather than always so erudite.

I think Brainy would sound like the Niles Crane character from cheers.

Listening to Donovan's Season of the Witch (again), thinking how it reminds me of Mysa as the Black Witch, it occurred to me that Blok could have a voice like Donovan's - soft, Scottish accent.
I always fell into the cliché of hearing him in a low, rumbly voice, because his form is so substantial. A softer, higher voice would match his character.
