I feel that if DC were still in the business of doing "Elseworlds" (or perhaps they could as an alternate Earth story in lieu), this would be the best way to honor Cockrum and his Legion contributions, including his unused characters. Paty would retain the rights to whatever characters DC doesn't currently own, and most of the proceeds of such a project should go to whatever expenses are still owed from his medical bills and hospitalizations (if there are still some remaining) or for diabetes research if his estate is in good shape.
And Marvel should do a similar project with his X-Men and Starjammers characters. Both companies (especially Marvel) owe a lot of their successes to Dave's phenomenal creative contributions.
Sadly, since neither have done something along these lines for him already since he died, it's very unlikely they ever will as time passes.

You know with this Action Comics Legion sparking interest in the old Legion...I wonder if we could get a proposal together with some of the characters he wanted to include in the Legion mythos.
Tell DC it's for a good cause (his widow!).

Here's a character Dave created named AlyXa that did get published by DC in a Wonder Woman Annual, anybody got any background information on her, it would be cool if she was from the future.

I wouldn't mind if they brought her back, and put her in the 31st century.

Not a creation, but two never-before-seen stories illustrated by Dave are presented in X-MEN: ODD MEN OUT, on sale this week!
I didn't realize it until I bought it and brought it home. I only bought it in case there was a Nighty appearance. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised!
