If you could buy an old comic IP and gift it to Paragon, what would it be?

And there's a ton of public domain comics heroes Paragon could adapt if they so chose (mostly 30s and 40s, admittedly). It would be interesting to see a "homage" parallel universe in CoH, with appearances by the original Golden Age Bulletman, Phantom Lady, Blue Beetle, Daredevil, etc.

I may have a real answer to the question tomorrow. I just had to geek out at the Cyberrad fandom. I don't care if it was emo, it was cool as hell. At least as I remember it so many years later.
I was going to answer, then I realized I would be here until late Saturday night...

If I could, I'd add an old and forgotten Marvel series I fell in love with recently.

So many, and yet so few. The ones I loved I wouldn't want handed over Paragon lest they become some bland homogenized mess.
However I might as well name names.

While not really old, it does seem to be gone (or at least I havent seen it, and I'd still be going out of my way to buy it if someone tells me it's going!)...
The Tenth and Adrenalynn! I loved these series by Tony Daniel!
Also, the original Gen-13 and Cyberforce!

I loved the T.H.U.N.D.E.R agents. Expecially Dynamo. I think they would make a great TV series. I have borrowed from Dynamo for my signature character. They would be a great group to include in COH too.

Silly question, I suppose, but I thought it might be fun. If you're like me there are comics that have come and gone that you remember fondly. Comics, thanks to Portal Corp and alternate dimensions, could be introduced into the game without too too much fuss (in theory).
For instance, I would love to see someone pick up and do something with Neal Adams' old Continuity line of comics. Megalith, Armor, Cyberrad, etc. I remember those from high school, and thought the characters were pretty interesting (although a haze of nostalgia and Neal Adam's pencils might make them better in memory than in fact).
Likewise, I remember reading a few scattered issues of The Elementals (Comico?), and that was pretty cool. I've got an issue hiding somewhere around the house where Thor gets his butt handed to him by some lady that looks like an ill-tempered Basia Trzetrzelewska. I remember hearing the story was pretty good if you kept up with it.
And, I can't make this kind of list without thinking of the old Chris Claremont and Alan Davis version of Excaliber. Too much fun, with a wide range of emotions, moods and super-cool characters. Plus, could you think of any other group more appropriate for hopping across worlds?
What about the rest of you?
