Legacy characters are one of the most popular and important parts of comic book history. As immutable as some secret identities might be to heroes, plenty more have passed their mantles on to proteges, friends, and even enemies. Some of the most famous heroes are part of long-standing heroic lineages. DC, for example, has Green Lantern and the Flash, two of the most popular legacy heroes. Marvel also has its fair share, such as Spider-Man, Captain America, and even Iron Man.
While being given a legacy mantle is usually a great honor, plenty of heroes have turned down these gifts. Whether it’s because the mantle isn’t a good fit, editorial wants to move in a different direction, or because it was meant to be a short storyline, there are many reasons roles get turned down. Despite not having a larger impact on their respective universe, these stories can still be interesting as they reveal more about the untold depths of certain characters.
On a mission to the Vault, Laura went missing and was presumed killed. She was revived, without her memories of the Vault. A later mission found the older Wolverine still alive. This older, wizened hero came out of the vault and decided to continue living alongside her double. She willingly gave up the mantle and chose a new moniker, Talon.
