You want your PG to get people involved. When the hell has Batman ever been the type to do that? Honestly Batman might have the most upside of any player, but he'll kill your team.

I seriously disagree with your assertion that the Legion is more important than anything ever published by Marvel, since Marvel Comics more-or-less brought characterization and mood back into comics. All the Legion has to offer are fruity flight rings and Matter-Eater Lad. Though Matter-Eater Lad *is* seven shades of awesome. I'll give you that.

He created a large number of characters who are arguably "as cool" as War Machine or Huntress- starting with Karate Kid & Ferro Lad, and moving through the whole Fatal Five. The man may be despised in the current industry, but he achieved remarkable success in comics before graduating high school, and us Legion fans will forever be indebted to him.
