Irvin Allen, hearing that the Daleks' creator. Terry Nation, was in the States, set up a meeting with himself, Nation and Beck to work out a deal so that they could officially use the Daleks in their MinuteMan series. Terry Nation thought the series was different enough from Doctor Who and could be merged with his Destroyers script (which he was having difficulty getting looked at.) without too much difficulty. So, a deal was made that Minute man could use The Daleks for the TV series and comics, however, characters from his Destroyers script would have to be adapted into the series and only Nation was allowed to Write episodes where Daleks appeared. Beck agreed. However, Allen was hesitant and so he gave Terry Nation a test drive by having him write an episode of Lost in Space before signing the contract. It was a popular episode and The Daleks, Sarah Kingdom and Jake Seven joined the Fawcett Universe.

Terry would be wise to give Fawcett semi control over the Daleks like he did with the BBC IOTL. Not just for their sakes but for Fawcett's sake too. Let's face it, the Fawcett Universe is expanding, but it needs more mythos, locations and races if it ever hopes to keep up with Atlas and DC. That includes the Introduction of more Alien races. Evil or otherwise. Making Skaro, the Thals and the Daleks permanent additions to Fawcett would go a hell of a long way to making that a reality. Plus, TBH, I've always prefered this origin to Genesis of the Daleks. Maybe it's just me but the idea that The Daleks were always rather ''Unattractive'' before they were turned into mutant octo-blobs is a fascinating idea. Plus, the idea that they were more than just ''Space-Nazis'' before the bomb, that they were actually quite peaceful and pacifistic until Zolfian came to power. It makes them more complex and terrifying, showing them to be much like humans once and what we could become if we don't seek peace instead of war. Coupled with the fact that the Daleks there actually are allowed to have names and it gives them loads of personality.
Besides that, they'd be great for event comics, standalone, ''Elseworlds'' and encounters with everyone from the Marvel Fam to T.H.U.N.D.E.R to the Misfits and especially the LoSH. Skaro could very well become the Fawcett answer to Apokolips.
Right now, the only other Aliens are whatever races Brainiac and Mr Mind belong to, Chameleon Boy's race and the
Saturnians. You
could make
this guy's race of Martian canon too...but you'd have to get past the fact that the guy was a walking commercial for Grape Nuts.
(Though personally, a race of Snake faced, tiny eyed, long eyebrowed Martians with electrical powers would be awesome TBH.)
Never underestimate the popularity of a hot looking red head in a leotard. ❤
Seriously though, her Fight with Avenger was just a miscommunication between the two.
And this is what I mean when I saw that this version of Fawcett is the perfect middle ground between Marvel and DC. Relatable heroes with foibles and problems that are still Larger than life celebrities. Youngblood done right, basically.
