I think it would be cool if DC purchased Dave's characters that never made it into print and introduced them into the Legion universe once and for all in honor of Dave,Maybe they could even purchace the rights to the Futurians and some of his non Legion creations.

Who is the black guy with the atom symbol? I like him better than Tyroc.
And if I was DC I would buy these characters asap!
I also would wish Tyr gets a bigger spotlight as a Legion villain. I had his Super Powers toy and he was my favorite villain. That was before I even knew he was a Legion foe.
Then I read the Levitz/Laroque baxter story and became a huge fan. Would also love to see Belladonna/Foxglove.

That's Dave's version of Power Boy (a then, unknown Legionnaire). Never thought of him as black before...hmmm.

That was me. The only image I had of Power Boy was from the group shot.
I messed with Dave's Molecule Master image to make it appear to be Power Boy. Dave even told me he liked that.

Belladonna looks fantastic and she's so typically "Cockrum" that I love her even though she's never appeared anywhere. She'd be great as a dominatrix/vampire villain in the Legion. I don't believe we've seen any similar villain before. OK, Vrykos was a vampiric villain but he lacked Belladonna's "flair",imho.
Does Marvel own the copyright to all of Dave Cockrum's characters?

No. Just Nightcrawler. I don't think anyone but Dave [now Paty] (and DC with Tyr, Reflecto and Power Boy) owns the rights to these characters even though Marvel has published these images twice now.
Twomorrows has published them as well. And the copyrights belonged to Dave as far as I can tell.

Wouldn't it? What an original storyline that would make (Original for the Legion, that is)! Even as an as-yet-unknown race they'd be great as villains. And we never got to know if Vrykos was magically altered by Mordru or he was "dentally endowed" by nature!
So, if DC wanted to renew or aquire the copyright again, they could "revive" both the Outsiders and the Strangers (with obvious exceptions, naturally).

Belladonna and Wolverine (this version) are supposed to be brother and sister. I think I'd prefer Belladonna and Vrykos being lovers.

Lovers would be cool, too. I love those ideas and I'm not that much of a vampire fan. But futuristic vampires with Belladonna and her lover/brother (one of these, not both) Vrykos as major villains would have the potential to become a Legion classic!

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Alternately, Belladonna could be a kinda-sorta sister to the Legion's own 'wolverine,' Brin Londo, being an ill-fated lab assistant to his father, who was used as fodder for his experiments with Z-rays or whatever. (Surely he didn't test the prototype on his only son!)
She ended up with animalistic properties similar to those of (the Zuunian equivalent of) a vampire bat.
She would also have history with Brin, who may not remember her initially, although she remembers keeping an eye on him on behalf of his father (he was a little old for it to be called 'babysitting'), until the 'accident' and her 'mysterious disappearance.'
As for the other team, we already know Reflecto's power, Nightcrawler's powers and Typhoon's powers. I wonder what exactly Power Boy (something nuclear?) and Quetzal (other than graceful winged flight?) were capable of?

This is slightly off topic, but I've been rereading all the Spider-Man comics and not too long ago came across a series of great, great Cockrum Spider-Man covers in the late 70's.
Here is what I consider to be the best Morbius cover of all time by Dave with Spider-Man (and Gloria Grant) on the cover. Just so dynamic...Dave was such a master.
Er...this goes along with the Dave-Vampire theme of the thread (AKA, an excuse to post one of my favorite covers of all time and one I only recently discovered was by Dave).
