Well he’s related to Reed, and both Reed and Doom have copied his “council of multiversal versions of themselves” idea. It wouldn’t be too hard to switch. But I say don’t derail the plans that much and just replace him. Apparently they aren’t bringing John Krazinski back for F4, and we’ve seen Loki so we already know it’s not unusual for variants to look a bit different from one another. Just recast a Kang prime

I hated that story. The only thing good about it was that it was short. That’s also where we got the Wanda and Quicksilver are not mutants in the dumbest explanation possible. It did lead to Superior Iron Man as well which was ok but short lived and not something anyone wanted. Plus I’m real tired of Sabretooth redemptions. Keep X-Villains as villains, especially him who is arguably the worst

This is very true. It’s that time where comics took on that movie mentality that everyone would think costumes are too goofy looking. So we ended up getting that overdone leather look that was lightly dyed a tiny of another color if we were lucky. having said that, Cap had one of the better ones. I prefer this to his Marvel Now update

I’ve honestly hated it. It doesn’t feel streamlined to me, it feels like it rejects history and gets a lot of characters to act out of character to make a very eerie message of segregation to work. Bad guys are with the heroes and heroes are acting villainous. The heroes are almost impossible to kill by resurrection protocols, terrible books are running rampant… the look feels more like a rotating fashion show than having any real depth to me

And then they throw you off. I thought they were going into getting a lot of MI-13. We got Blade who was directly based on his look from that book, then at the British con announcements I think back to back they announced Black Knight and then Union Jack. We had Captain Britain in the costume he wore going into that book, and then recently got the Excalibur box set that gets us even further. But then they stop with ones that would help finish other teams. Pete Wisdom also for Excalibur and Spitfire for more Captain America/Invaders characters (and union Jack’s partner/blade’s…girlfriend? Ex? Something). Even the Excalibur the box set had a design EXACTLY like how it looked in that book

But I would definitely argue that those are less obscure than lady lark, blue eagle, Nuke, or Tom Thumb. Rock Python still fits with Serpent Society that we had others of and is seen regularly including some cartoons. Orb is one of the few GR villains not made and he was announced during GR’s anniversary, plus you still see him in the background in a lot of comics. Same with Frog Man. If there is a group of villains, there is a chance you will see one or all three of these. The other Squadron members for the most part not only don’t exist in 616 universe to appear in the background, don’t even appear in the last several iterations of the Squadron

I think for Guardians I can see another Gamora, classic Drax, maybe another Rocket and Groot. Then Starhawk, Charlie, Martinex, Nikki and Aleta. I can see many of the original team being in box sets though i only see a couple more serpent society. Surprised we don’t have Diamondback yet starjammers we will probably see a two pack of hepzibah and raza before too long i think that’s WAY more Squadron figures than we will get. Most never appeared again. I see a version of Whizzer/Blur and of Power Princess/Warrior Woman. Probably with the Blur name to avoid the outdated slang, and Power Princess so this can’t be TOO obviously the JLA, which is another reason I don’t see a lot of that 80s team coming out

I disagree. I have the older one too, but this one is much better. Better articulation, better body type, not just paint for the waist part… plus the other one came out a long time ago. Before Marvel Legends Infinite so that’s before the first GotG movie. Two packs are where you should put updated versions of characters that a lot of people missed out on. plus if you only need one, pop you old one on eBay for auction starting at $20. Bet you make enough to pretty much pay for this 2-pack plus shipping by the end
