Top 9 Asian-Pacific Islander Characters
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/tB90Z2k.jpg[/IMG]
1. Jubilee: She's in the game files already (not done, though), she SHOULD be in the game. Anyone who grew up watching the X-Men cartoon of the 90's can't believe she's missing (the fact that Professor X isn't in the game is a crime against humanity- but, he's not Asian)
2. Sunfire: Two words- Fiery Plasma.
3. Daken: Son of Wolverine, same powers different look. We need The Dark Avengers.
4. Lady Deathstrike: I'm a Wolverine fan and I want a large Wolverine arc in the game. If Gaz ever gives us a 'story mode', Wolverine should be the first.
5. Amadeus Cho: How cool would it be to have using his moped around the hotpots (this could segue into other vehicles like Hawkeye's flying bike)? Using Hercules' adamantine club in missions would also be a great segue to get those god-heroes. We could also get Kerberus as a pet, who doesn't want a coyote? All this and he's already in the code (not done).
6. Silver Samurai: Would love to see a Japanese-based mission with pagodas, temples, and gardens. We already have ninjas, let's get a character from Wolvie's last movie (even if they broke canon).
7. The Mandarin: Iron Man 3 almost ruined this villain for me. Would like to see Gaz due him justice as a true villain.
8. Armor: How cool would it be to have that exoskeleton running around punching baddies? Answer: VERY.
9. Surge: A great start to getting the disbanded "New X-Men". Would love to see more electrical effects in the game.
Top 10 or so South American/Latino/Latin American Characters
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/6hTdvhH.jpg[/IMG]
1. Sunspot: I would want Gazillion to have him change to the all-black 'powered up' form for his HUs/PU. AND a voiceover saying "Careful Bobby, you're strong, not invulnerable!" would be a MUST.
2. Darwin: It would be neat to see him interact with new underwater (where is that Atlantis?) or space missions. I would also like his body to change in the fire and ice missions within the game. That would take a buttload of programming, but he'd be unique. Maybe those could be his PUs and he'd just get a huge defensive boost.
3. Power Man: No, not Luke Cage in his 70's garb (we do need that though), but he does work with Iron Fist (nice segue). This is Victor Alvarez. He could have a passive drain on surrounding baddies (tough to program) or it could be used for his PUs/HU. He could suck some of their lifepoints (chi) and hit them with some sort of power attack. Of course he better glow red like in the comics during these powered attacks.
4. Nova: What?! Sam Alexander is Latino? Es verdad. Give Nova a blue helmet and change around his combo (new PUs/HU would be nice, too). The irony is that 'Nova' in Spanish means 'doesn't go'.
5A. White Tiger- Hector Ayala: SHSO needs Marvel's 1st Hispanic hero. The three amulets would make easy PUs, and his body style is exactly like Black Panther's. They could use his voiceovers to teach a little Spanish, too.
5B. White Tiger- Angela Del Toro: Hector's niece also has the power to camouflage.
5C. White Tiger- Ava Ayala: With an obvious Kraven the Hunter tie-in (spoiler: he killed her father), you can tell the difference between her and her cousin Angela Del Toro because her costume completely covers her face.
8. Feral: We'll probably never see Feral because she is EXACTLY like Tigra. Or, we will see Feral because she is EXACTLY like Tigra. All they would need is a new skin and voiceovers (and hopefully new PUs/HU).
9. Rictor: The picture shown is his classic X-Men uniform. A Seismic hero would be extremely cool. The question is will we see him, Shatterstar, or Northstar because of their sexual orientation. I would love for Gazillion to answer that on a Feedback Friday.
10. Cecilia Reyes:Another healer that can control a small force field, she would be easy to build.
11. Slingshot: SHSO needs a female speedster. 'Nuff said.
Now for a guilty pleasure, I present for your entertainment - a character from the first comic book given to me:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xQwKZVQ.jpg[/IMG]
12. El Aguila: "The Eagle" was an obvious Zorro rip-off, but, I would absolutely LOVE a fencing style sword fighter who can also discharge electricity. His costume is the perfect level of cheesey.
I would also like to give Echo from my Native American post an honorable mention. She is also Hispanic. Her being deaf could augment (via teaching a little ASL) the purpose of having these 12 heroes teach a little Spanish/Portugeuse.
And last but certainly not least, direct from The Super Hero Squad TV Show, I present Captain Brasil:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Mo2nH2A.jpg[/IMG]
From the episode "O Captain, My Captain" you can see her along with Wolverine (as Captain Canada), Captain Australia, Captain Britain, and Captain Lichtenstein (my favorite). ALL of these need to be in the game
Top 10 or so Wanted Repaints/Retreads
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/tX1ohTu.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QioH5HD.png[/IMG]
1. X-Force Wolverine: For reals. It's not like I'm asking for sharks with laser beams on their friggin' heads. Can we get some X-Force love in this game?
2. Mr. Fix It Hulk: Being an unapologetic Hulk fan, many of you might be surprised he's not my #1. Well #2 ain't too shabby. This is one character that couldn't be a repaint. He needs Tommy guns. Thing has a suit, why not Hulk? Besides, he was promised at the 2011 ComicCon.
3. More Noir: Why should Spidey have all the love? Would love Noir Punisher, Daredevil, Deadpool, and Iron Man. Just pick one already, Gaz.
4. Future Foundation: We know they are partially coded and it's not like we're asking for Tong, Turg, Vil, Wu & etc. Slap the new unis on Reed, Sue, and Ben. The rest you can make sidekicks...that would be sweet.
5. Iceman: Iceman with hair is stupid. THERE, I said it. We know of "Classic Iceman" in the code.
6. Marvell as a Kree: You know what's NOT marvelous? The fact that we don't have any Kree in this game.
7. Original X-Men: A double dose of me wanting a bald Iceman plus a "how cool would it be?" question regarding a more human Beast. I'd even buy another Angel, Jean, and Scott in these uniforms.
8. Ms. Marvel: I like her new outfit, and I can't be the only fan of her hair.
9. Luke Cage: They make Luke Cage bald and give Iceman hair...what is it, Opposite Day? Give us his classic look.
10. Fantastic Four She Hulk: She could pave the way for Medusa and Ms. Thing.
11. Wonder Man: Out of all his outfits, they gave us the most boring. The Safari jacket is a winner.
My DIShonorable mention is Quicksilver. Gaz really messed up that one.

Top 10 or so Black/African-American Characters
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/JmXVR4E.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/J9xcfnC.jpg[/IMG]
1. Bishop: He's partially coded. He's awesome. We need him and his robot arm and guns.
2. Misty Knight: She has a robot arm and guns but she is no homage to Bishop. It would be nice to get her after Iron Fist and maybe see a Brood Queen or Puppetmaster mission. Her afro alone demands inclusion.
3. Monica Rambeau: Captain Marvel, Photon, Pulsar, and NOW! Spectrum, she maybe the most underrated heroine in Marvel's history. Would love to battle Egghead or Plantman with her.
4. Brother Voodoo: If you like Dr. Strange you'll love Brother Voodoo. He has also possessed the title Sorcerer Supreme and could have amazing smoke and mist PUs/HU. And the summoning of his brother Daniel Drumm would be an amazing attack.
5. Cloak: I can only imagine how fun it would be playing as a tandem with Dagger. The combos, PUs, and HU would easily be one of the most favorited in the game. I think the sidekick coding will come in handy if they ever bring this pair to SHSO.
6. Isaiah Bradley: One of the most controversial characters in Marvel who deserves to be in the game. I think a black Captain America would be hugely popular.
7. Deathlok: A hero who has a song by Megadeth needs to be included.
8. Night Thrasher: Cool armor. Cool Weapons. We need some New Warriors love.
9. Doorman: Having almost no powers worth mentioning, I want Doorman because he is part of the GLA.
10. Maggot: Who else wants to use two omniverous slugs as weapons?
Top 10 or so Characters from the 1930s and 1940s
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/kCMoCB4.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/p9KYx2w.jpg[/IMG]
1. Namor: Yes, he has been around THAT long. In fact, most say that he was the first hero from Marvel. I'm tired of the red-tape that is holding him up. The game needs Namor...and to a lesser extent, underwater missions or maybe a zone.
2. Ka-Zar: He's been doomed to just furniture since day one. The game needs this savage. Might as well throw in Zabu- his pet sabretooth, Savage Land zone/missions, and some dinosaurs to beat up on. I always wanted to punch a dinosaur. Thanks to Barney.
3. Bucky: I'm sure with the new Captain America movie coming out we'll be getting Winter Soldier. But, when Bucky had two arms and didn't wear the Captain's uniform, there was Bucky. Let's get a more acrobatic character in this game.
4. Marvel Boy: Sure he only appeared a couple of times in the 40's, but then he made a reappearance as a being from another planet. That's right, Marvel Boy comes from Uranus. *waits for laughter to die down* He has a cape and wears briefs. FANTASTIC.
5. Patriot: Before Captain America. Before The Spirit of '76 (stay tuned for him). There was Patriot. I hear there's a whippersnapper using that moniker today, let's bring back the old guy.
6. Miss America: My niece's favorite squaddie is "Girl Captain America"...she means American Dream. Miss America is her heritage. I heard there's a young (and curvy) Ms. Chavez using that title, today.
7. Whizzer: Robert Frank, from St. Louis, Missouri (my hometown!), was the original speedster. He's still awesome.
8. Jack Frost: Jack Frost looks right with hair, Iceman DOESN'T. Meet the original.
9. Black Marvel: If you want to know where the Mayor of Superhero city got his design, look no further than the Black Marvel. And for you Spidey fans, his most current arc is that he created the new team The Slingers.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/sPCtwPG.jpg[/IMG]Whether we get them as the heroes donning Spidey's old alter-egos or we get Spidey masquerading as Dusk, Hornet, Prodigy, and Ricochet, a great way to bring them to the game is through Black Marvel.
10. Blazing Skull: Hmmmm, I wonder who he looks like...I absolutely love the crossed bones on his chest.
11. Thunderer: Also known as the Black Avenger, meet the original sonic weapon.
12. Red Raven: Marvel's first winged hero. Red Raven also brought the FIRST arc of the Inhumans into play. Since him, there has been many Redwing heroes.
13. Blue Diamond: Just look at him. He should be in a game. He should be in THIS game.
Top 10 or so 1950 - Marvel Age
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/HEE2IMt.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/7XeaW8g.jpg[/IMG]
1. Gorilla-Man: A body of a gorilla, the mind of a man, and the arsenal of Rambo. We need this Agent of Atlas.
2. M-11 The Human Robot: I would love to craft this robot. His poers would be just like Destroyer's. Another Agent of Atlas.
3. Rawhide Kid: Who doesn't want to be a cowboy?
4. Jimmy Woo: Before there was Agent Coulson (who also needs to be in the game), there was Jimmy Woo.
5. Dr. Druid: He used to be called Dr. Droom. Some say he signified the end of the Atlas Era and beginning of the Marvel Era. Would love to see this sorcerer PUs to be summoning the three Celtic war goddesses Morrigan, Macha, and Badb. He was THE monster hunter (tomorrow's list will be on my favorite Atlas Era monsters).
6. Yellow Claw: If you ever wonder who was the inspiration for "Big Trouble in Little China"s bad guy Lo Pan, you're looking at him. He wears a suit of armor that has many weapons. I would love to team up with other Agents of Atlas members to fight in this mission.
7. Chondu the Mystic: Chondu is represented by the two pics. The first is the winged, chicken-legged, octo-wormed armed monster. The second is his last form, just a head on a mechanical spider body. Both would be fantastic to battle.
8. Shrunken Bones: This is why you shouldn't mess around with shrink rays/potions. He would be fantastic to fight.
9. Abominable Snowman: I almost included Carl Hansen in tomorrow's monster list, but he was human. You can see he is Wendigo's and Sasquatch's heritage.
Top 10 or so Atlas Era Giants & Monsters
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/7wA2P8J.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3fn2m7k.jpg[/IMG]
1. Groot: He was a conquering monster before he joined the GOTG. He'll probably be the only one on this list to make SHSO.
2. Tim Boo Ba: One the best story lines of monsters in the history of story telling, I won't spoil it for those of you who have never read it. If you want to know: [spoil]He and his group of mercenaries were wiped out by a flood that turned out to be a drop of water from Earth-616. It turns out he was microscopic. He later tricked another monster, Googam, to use Mr. Fantastics growth ray to make him into a giant monster.[/spoil]
3. Xemnu: This monster can shrink to a 10ft copy of himself when in trouble, he can also transform others into xemnu-like creatures or just occupy another's form.
4. Grogg: If you ever see a flying dragon in Marvel...chances are it's either Fin Fang Foom or Grogg.
5. Googam: He parks cars. He's been on Letterman. He can shrink stuff. He's Googam.
6. Goom: Father of Googam. This monster has a neutron ray that can disintigrates matter, a spaceship, and time machine. He was captured by The Collector - who can be in this game, too.
7. Gargantus: He may look like a giant neanderthal carrying a giant wooden club, but he's actually a robot. Tomorrow's list is on Top robots/androids not in the game...if I can whittle down this list of 183.
8. Orrgo: This monster is actually quite the lady's man. Chicks dig him.
9. Kraa: Kraa is often considered to be the first mutant caused from a nuclear bomb. He was an African tribesman.
10. Monsteroso: There have been two main monsters with this name. One from the Microverse (similar story to that of Tim Boo Ba), but the main one was a child-like monster that crashed into Earth after jettisoned from his spacecraft.
All of these monsters were giant (or became giant) in size, some could shrink to that around a human form so it would be unusual to make them playable. But, I would love to see more battles (missions) against these behemoths.
Top 25 Robot/Android/Cyborg/etc
So, I had to whittle a list of what started as 183 characters, which quickly ratcheted up to 227 characters, down to 25. It took me longer then I would have liked (4 days longer). Here is my list of Top 25 Robot/Android/Cyborg/etc. that I'd like to see in the game (I left out Deathlok and Gargantus because they were in previous list):
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ZBK23es.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VbT72Pn.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/iGkUDM2.jpg[/IMG]
Wow!That's a buttload of pics!
1. H.E.R.B.I.E.: I think this little guy should be playable, but I would accept him as a sidekick. He was a mainstay on the TV show. Extending arms, lasers, and claws would make for a terrific combo-PUs/Hu set.
2. Mastermold: Where do you think all those Sentinels come from? They started a mission for him ("her" if you're a purist), but the X-Men stuff in this game is ALWAYS backburnered.
3. Nimrod: The most advanced Sentinel. Makes you feel a little better about all the time your older sister/brother called you by this name, huh? It's also a great song by The Pixies.
4. Bastion: One part Master Mold. One part Nimrod. Mix with the Siege Perilous.
5. Human Torch & Tara: Before there was Sue Storm's younger brother, there was the android. And then there was the female version. That's why H.E.R.B.I.E. was a member of the Fantastic Four instead of Johnny.
6. Dragon Man: He would be bigger than Sasquatch and before he was such a pacificist he was tough guy.
7. Ghost Rider 2099: He has a chainsaw arm! A CHAINSAW ARM!
8. Super-Adaptoid: I'd like one that possesses the attributes of the Avengers. My favorite version is when he has Captain America's shield.
9. Machine Man: Marvel's Swiss Army knife.
10. Flipside: Even though we have a million of Spidey-types, a robot with a webbed cape would be pretty cool.
11. Air-Walker: OK, he use to be a human (or human-like), then whatever Galactus tranforms a human to be his herald, but I think the best stories were when he was an android.
12. Jocasta: Ultron creates her...and she turns against him. Great story!
13. Dread Nought: Would love to see the Maggia version in-game.
14. Technovore: Who doesn't want this technological parasite?
15. Tyrant: Does Galactus do anything right? This machine turned on him, too.
16. Ultimo: A giant android controlled by the Mandarin? Yes, please.
17. Kree Sentry: I always confused these with Sentinels when I was a kid. We need more Kree stuff.
18. Red Ronin: Would love if there were giant-sized missions (missions were the characters are building sized) AND I would love to fight Godzilla with Red Ronin.
19. Supremor: Another Kree android. kree's are awesome.
20. Victor Mancha: His dad is Ultron!
21. Bi-Beast: Would love to have each head have its own voice, too.
22. Shiva: The game could use a Weapon X story-based mission.
23. Galactus' Punisher: Seriously, can Galactus ever get something right?
24. It! The Living Colossus: Another giant robot...one of the first, though.
25. Quasimodo: Look at him! LOOK AT HIM!
