I'm going to repost all my old lists. Here's my first one, Native Americans:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/pYyo8X6.jpg[/IMG]
1. Warpath : Double knife fighting, Flying, and an X-Force member? Too awesome not to be in this game.
2. Forge: Not only should he be in the game, he should have part of a zone (preferably an X-Mansion zone) dedicated to a "Forge's Shop" where you can craft items (including crafting things from superfluous cards). One of his specials, or his HU, should be a blast from his mutant-power neutralizing gun. AND he is an X-Force member!
3. Thunderbird: Would love to see him and a Genosha zone/mission.
4. Danielle Moonstar: Remember when Gaz said they were focused on Marvel NOW!? What happened to that?! I though for sure we'd get Dani in her new Defender role. Anyway, a girl archer who also has a magic sword AND a magic staff seems a no-brainer and her PUs would be AMAZING.
5. Shaman: Who doesn't want a guy who can levitate, pull almost anything from his medicine bag, can summon an eagle at will, and has a Mystic Staff? We NEED more Alpha Flight!
6. Talisman: Another Alpha Flight member who is second only to Dr. Strange in her mystical arts ability. Here's a snippet from her wiki: [QUOTE]She has the ability to tap into mystical forces and to manipulate them for a variety of effects, including levitation, astral projection, exorcism, matter manipulation, the ability to see prophetic visions, telepathy, teleportation over vast distances, opening inter-dimensional portals, animating the undead, generating wind blasts and lightning, summoning air spirits, calling forth spirit animals, creating magical shields of light, and generating blasts of magical energy.[/QUOTE] Who doesn't want that in the game?!
7. Snowbird: Another Alpha Flight member. Snowbird can transform into any Canadian animal! Her PUs/HU would be soooooo fun!
8. Silver Fox: OK, her combo, PUs, and HU would be pretty lame (she might/would be the worse hero in this game). But, I want a Weapon X arc with missions and new Weapon X heroes/villains.
9. Echo: Wouldn't it be nice to see a deaf hero in the game? No voiceovers just ASL. Anyone who can copy moves (photographic reflexes- like Taskmaster) would be welcome to the game.

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 9 Australians
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/c0WHWeJ.jpg[/IMG]
Wow...that's a lot of bad guys. Marvel must hate Australia.
1. Rocket Raccoon: There's a lot of debate on his origin. There is no debating his accent and the need for him to be in the game. Can't wait to have him and his arsenal in SHSO. I guess we'll have to wait for a GOTG push.
2. Pyro: First of SIX bad guys on my list. We need this fire slinger to start a nice Brotherhood run.
3. Kraven the Hunter: OK, he's only an Aussie on Earth-1610. He still counts as much as koalas are bears. I'm a firm believer of having all the Sinister Six in this game, and Sergei's outfit screams to be included.
4. Captain Australia: "O Captain, My Captain" was SHS's BEST episode. Gaz needs to get hip to this.
5. Boomerang: An Aussie version of Bullseye. Who doesn't want more boomerangs in this game?
6. Grizzly, Theodore Winchester: Whether you call them the Wild Pack or the Six Pack, we need them. I Hope Gaz ressurects this man-beast to pair with his friend Domino. Her killing him was an accident.
7. Kangaroo, Frank Oliver: A boxer who can jump as high as Hulk? Yes, please. LOVE the He-Man hairdo, too.
8. Gorgeous George: We need more bad guys with extending arms. More importantly, we need the Nasty boys and their leader Mr. Sinister.
9. Boomslang: Not created by the guy who came up with "Smang it" (that guy really likes to smash and bang it), we need an intro to the Serpent Society. AND, he does boomerangs TOO!

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.
-
Well, I was going to post my updated list today soon so I guess I'll do it here.
1. Agent Venom and Modern Kaine/Scarlet Spider share this spot
2. Sam Alexander Nova
3. Hybrid
4. Anti-Venom (Don't let him rot in the code Gaz :()
5. Frogman
6. Sunfire
7. Doom 2099
8. Dark Wolverine
9. Cloak
10. Dagger (I'd rather have them as separate characters who summon the other via Hero UP)
Villains:
1. Crossbones
2. Carnage
3. Electro
4. Rhino
5. Daken
6. Raze (Logan and Mystique's son from the future)

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!

Top 30 Inhumans
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/OiQVNPn.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/gwYsJMx.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/UAZlEkQ.jpg[/IMG]
OHHHHHHHHH...the Inhumanity!!!!
1. Black Bolt: No Banshee. No Songbird. No Black Bolt. Where are the screamers?! The game needs to have Blackagar Boltagon. Gene Simmons would agree.
2. Medusa: Whether we get her in her Inhuman costume or her Fantastic Four one, this redhead needs to be in the game. She would be a great introduction to Terrigan Mist and I want her to say "I whip my hair back & forth!".
3. Gorgon: A seismic hero with the legs of a bull. I really want him in the game. AND I want him to snort like a bull.
4. Karnak: A martial artist who has a hover platform. His name alone could reference Johnny Carson for his emotes.
5. Lockjaw: I don't want him as a sidekick (but he should be). How fun would it be to play as giant dog? A fire hydrant emote would be a MUST.
6. The Unspoken: Before there was Lord Voldermort, there was The Unspoken. The game has fractals, how about us getting some Xerogen crystals? Makes sense that he'd be the first inhuman mission.
7. Gordon Nobili: Another possible mission- I would love to fight some Maggia. In fact, my next list will be on the Maggia.
8. Thane: I would love for Gaz to complete the Thanos missions and fight him with his son, Thane. And no, I do not have "daddy issues".
9. Eelak the Agile: The first member of the Crimson Cadre (the X-Force of he Inhumans) to make my list.
10. Kamala Khan: With this games popularity in many Muslim countries you'd figure this would be an easy one for Gaz to add. The new Ms. Marvel is the first Muslim hero to headline a comic.
11. Blizzard: Almost forgot he was an Inhuman. Donnie Gill would be a great villain in the game- he's a 'bad'-Iceman. Would love a mission were you had to fight him, Backlash, and Beetle.
12. General Ator: The Leader of the Crimson Cadre. I know they're only in less than 10 comics...but they need to be in more.
13. Stonethrower/Metallic Titan: Els Udota/Prax Ord are the two Centaurian members of the Light Brigade, she's an archer he has skin like Colossus. Some of my favorite comics are those that have the Light Brigade rescuing Human Torch.
14. Crystal: Fire, air, earth, and water control. Sounds like three PUs and one HU to me. And with all the guys she's dated and married, she'd have as many voice interactions as Deadpool.
15. Triton: Is he as worthless as Aquaman? The game needs an underwater mission/zone.
16. Tusk: We've seen missions with clones before (Doom, Wendigo, Impossible Man, etc), why not this Dark Rider?
17. Glaboo: I just love saying "Glaboo smash!". It's second only to "Hulk smash!". Would love if this Crimson Cadre member be able to shape-shift his mud-body.
18. Kal Blackbane: AKA Midknight Blade, this Kymellian swordsman is part of the Light Brigade and would be great in the game. I think it would be funny if he had a voice interaction with Beta Ray Bill saying "Why the long face?".
19. Devlor: What happens when rumors cause Marvel to create a new series...you get Devlor...and the other members of the Fantastic Force.
20. Ahura: His parents are Black Bolt & Medusa. He has an "evil eye" that would make a great HU. Sounds good to me.
21. Leonus: This man-lion wasn't always bad.
22. Talon: How about a mystical cat that can shoot his claws? Pretty sweet.
23. Tonaja: You got to love a character that went to University in Wisconsin. Let her scaly-green wings fly, Gaz.
24. Timberius: So, he's not as cool as Groot, but we need a plant-based attacker. We also need all the plant-based puns for emotes.
25. Ren Kimura: I actually liked the Infinity event. I think having a character with a ballet-based combo would be great.
26. Dal Damoc: Another mystical arts master, not only does he look like Gandolf but his name is Wayfnder.
27. Dinu: Well, he's tamer looking than Leather Boy, but taske off that mask and you get death. Game could use Vladimir of the Royal Guard.
28. Hooud: Probably should have included his fellow Dire Wraith, too...but I like the name Creeping Death better than Sun. Did I mention he can shape-shift?
29. Gauntlet: Another one of Apocalypse's Dark Riders, here's his powers listed on wiki- Cybernetically enhanced with various high-tech weapons, such as a flamethrower, high-powered rifle and missiles. Pretty bad-ass.
30. Stallior: He's a friggin' Centaur! He wields a ball and chain!

Top 12 Maggia
OK, Wiseguys..it's time to make you and offer you can't refuse...here is my Top 12 of wanted Maggia members. And by "wanted", I mean wanted for SHSO. Clearly, they're wanted by the law, too.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ttesU9U.jpg[/IMG]
Would love to see all of these mobsters in missions, Gaz could even make a Maggia storyline with a few missions and many of these thugs. They could make them playable would be fun, too. An honorable mention goes to Gordon "Gordo" Nobili, he's on my Inhuman list.
1. Silvermane: Silvio Manfredi is now a cyborg, but he still sometimes wields his Thompson .50 caliber machine gun.
2. Grim Reaper: Wonder Man's brother would be AWESOME! Especially if he could helicopter around with his blade. His abilities to teleport and raise the dead would make great attacks, too.
3. Jigsaw: One of Punisher's main foes, Billy "The Beaut" Russo often wears an exoskeleton.
4. Man Mountain Marko: Would love for him to be a sub-boss on a Silvermane mission.
5. Hammerhead: Another Thompson machine gun toting hood, I'd love to see some headbutting with his adamantium skull. Plus he looks like a Dick Tracy character.
6. Whiplash: Before Anton Vanko, there was Mark Scarlotti. There's room for both.
7. Trapster: Also known as Paste-Pot Pete because he use to carry his glue in a pot, I'd love to see a mission of him shooting different types of adhesives at us.
8. Count Nefaria: OK, I know he's a little over-powered...but, the game would be better with his optic blasts. It would be cool to have a boss level that takes longer than all the others.
9. Eel: Whether they give us Leopold Stryke or Edward Lavell, I'd love an electrical based villain or sub-boss.
10. Rapier: I'm just a sucker for heroes/villains with swords.
11. Masked Marauder: Would love to have him in a mission with his creations Tri-Man and Bomb-Droid.
And finally...
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5iuXROQ.png[/IMG]
12. Plant Man: Just because he's in my favorite SHS episode "O Captain, My Captain".
Hope you enjoyed this list, and leave the gun take the cannoli.

Top 36 Avengers
Man, there's a lot of Avengers...almost TOO many. So, this list doesn't include most of the spin-offs or off-shoots from the main Avengers (and a few West Coasters). I decided those, including A-Nexters, Initiative, GLA, Dark, etc., will be in a Top 36 next week. if one of the members listed below doesn't follow this canon, forgive me. I digress, here we go:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/mZVAkNo.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ILSoGrD.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wj6Ddrm.jpg[/IMG]
1. Namor: Whoever owns the rights to him and is not sharing needs to be shunned. I really want an underwater mission.
2. Hercules: He was on the show. He was in another SHS video game. How great would a Mt. Olympus mission be? A well planned game would have it scheduled during the Olympics...but, I don't want to wait two more years.
3. Mockingbird: Anyone else want a female with mad battle stave skills? Game could use a little Bobbi.
4. Captain Britain: I prefer the Union Jack-style costume, but the Britannic red with the yellow lion is nice, too. Either way I'd want him to have the Amulet of Right and Star Sceptre to be his PUs or HU. The game needs more captains, Gaz.
5. Superior Spider-Man: I know the game already has a billion of them. I know Superior is possibly the worst of them. But the kids love him. He would be nice segue to some of the new Sinister 6 villains (Boomerang, the Beetle, Living Brain, Overdrive, Shocker, and Speed Demon), too.
6. Power Woman: AKA Jewel or Knightress, Jessica Jones is coming to Netflix (along with Iron Fist, her husband- Luke Cage, and Daredevil) in a live-action show...so how 'bout adding her to SHSO?
7. Black Knight: Would love to have him fly arround on Strider. And his three swords, the Ebony Blade, the Neural Sword, & The Sword of Light along with his Shield of Night would make easy Pus and Hu. I'm a sucker for heroes with swords.
8. Darkhawk: He's one of my nephew's favorite action figures and I'm a good uncle. So, he makes my list.
9. Captain Marvel: AKA Photon, Pulsar, and Spectrum- Monica Rambeau was the leader of the Avengers for quite a while. I'm kinda surprised she isn't in the game, already. I'm also surprised she isn't more popular in the comics world.
10. Shang Chi: I know I didn't include him on my list of Asians, but I think the game could use a hero with nunchaku and shurikens.
11. White Tiger: I know Ava Ayala was in mainly in Avengers Academy...but my niece likes her. Again the list is tainted 'cause I'm a good uncle.
12. Ares: Joey, you like movies about gladiators? I know he is mainly a Dark or mighty Avenger...but he had a brief stint as a 'real' Avenger. I'd love it if the mixed his weaponry from guns to his axe, from a javelin to an ass' jawbone.
one-third done...rest your eyes.
13. Amadeus Cho: He's named in the code...so, there were plans. I want him to have Hercules' club and motor on his moped on the Quicksilver hotspots.
14. Hawkeye- Kate Bishop: Marvel NOW! has her as a regular Avenger, so...THERE! The game needs a female archer, and her having a sword and battle staves makes her too cool not to be included.
15. Sunfire: I want to see another male fire-based hero. No offense to Johnny-fans.
16. U.S. Agent: How easy would he be able to code? Just give him his eagle shield or his star shield.
17. Cannonball: I would love to not only see his blast-fields...but, I want him to roll up in a ball and bounce between baddies like a pinball (a move similar to Quicksilver's HU).
18. Power Man: I've mentioned Victor Alvarez on other lists, and now that we know we're getting Iron Fist. We might as well get his partner who happens to be an Avenger. I'd love it if his PUs/HU was a progression of him getting redder and stronger.
19. Moondragon: If she is the first bald-telepath that we get, I'll be upset...but, she should be in the game.
20. Doctor Druid: As I mentioned before, this magician has been around since 1961! 1961! Let's get back to Marvel's roots and add this monster killer.
21. Captain Britain: I prefer to call her Lionheart (though I love my captains)...I think Kelsey has the best female superhero outfit EVER. I would love to have her and her Sword of Might in the game.
22. Crystal: Medusa's little sister can manipulate fire, wind, water and earth. I think I mentioned that they would make up the 4 PUs/HU before...
23. Silver Claw: Lupe made my Latino list, too. From her wiki: [QUOTE]Thus far, Lupe has demonstrated the following animal aspects: jaguar, anaconda, cockatoo, monkey, sloth, puma, cheetah, and crocodile[/QUOTE] I'm not suggesting a were-sloth is needed for this game, but the other animals would be cool.
24. 3-D Man: Wouldn't it be fun if some of the NPC (non-playable characters- the people walking in the zones) were actual Skrulls and the only way you could find them is with 3-D Man? And when you found one that you could enter a secret mission (and invite friends, too)? Feel free to take this idea, Gaz.
so many Avengers... two-thirds done!
25. Machine Man: Rob Zombie's brother, Spider One, likes X-51 so much his band Powerman 5000 has a song about him. the game could use Marvel's Swiss Army knife.
26. Forgotten One: Do yourself a favor and look at this Eternal's different outfits through the ages. He is also known as Gilgamesh.
27. Starfox: Thanos' brother is always getting in trouble with the ladies. But, Moondragon has helped him become a gentleman.
28. Hellcat: Sadly, Patsy's heroine name will probably keep her out of this game. It would be sadder if they changed her name to 'Heckcat'. She's the best feline heroine...sorry, Tigra fans.
29. Mantis: Will her ex-prostitution and 'celestial messiah' storylines exclude her from the game? I hope not.
30. Demolition Man: If you think he got his outfit from Daredevil and Wolverine, you're right. How great would it be to have an UCWF (Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation) mission in the game?
31. Jack of Hearts: Is he still dead? Who cares! His outfit is AWESOME!
32. Justice: Vance also was one of the heroes named Marvel Boy. It would be nice to have a telekinetic male in the game.
33. Quake: This seismic heroine was voiced by Lacey Chabert...not too shabby.
34. Jocasta: She already made my list of androids/cyborgs/robots, and we know we're getting a playable Ultron...why not get Jocasta, too?
35. Swordsman: I know he's dead. I know the reincarnation of him as a Cotati to impregnate Mantis with the celestial Messiah is the most blasphemic storyline Marvel has ever done (even over Azazel's doings). BUT, he's a swordsman!
36. Two-Gun Kid: When are we getting a cowboy-based hero?
Well there you go...36 Avengers. Hope you weren't a TL/DRer and enjoyed it.

Top 36 "Other" Avengers
While waiting for Armored Daredevil...we ARE getting him today, right? Here is my list of what I call "The Other Avengers". These are heroes (anti-heroes) that either briefly had a stint with the "Real" Avengers OR they were/are part of an Avenger Subsect/Initiative OR they are part of the A-Next/Young Avengers thing that is happening. REGARDLESS...here is my Top 36:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1rKNErj.jpg[/IMG]
I'm breaking up the pics to see if it reads better...
1. Winter Soldier: I would be shocked if we don't get this version of Bucky. What I'd like to see is a mission based on the Fear Itself arc that includes the Red Ghost and his Super-Apes (Mikhlo, Igor, and Peotr).
2. Taskmaster: I want him to have at LEAST a sword, shield, bow & arrows, and guns. Those four would make excellent PUs/Hu.
3. Patriot: Although I'd prefer to have the first Patriot (Jeffrey Mace) or Eli's grandpa Isaiah...I'd gladly settle for this Young Avenger and his throwing stars.
4. Hulkling: Half Skrull and half Kree (his dad is Captain Mar-vell), I'd want him to be able to grow wings to fly on the hotspots (why can't Reptil do this?) and 'Hulk' out for his PUs/HU. I wonder if we'll ever see him because of his sexuality.
5. Shanna the She-Devil: I think the small number of pixels needed to make her costume is holding her back for a kids' game...but I'd love to see Ka-Zar's friend spear-fighting her way into SHSO.
6. Thunderstrike: If you know the origins of Kevin Masterson's father (the original Thunderstike) you know that he is called Thunderstrike because that is the name of the Odin-enchanted mace that he wields. The story is weird because sometimes he impersonates Thor, sometimes he's merged WITH Thor, and sometimes he fights alongside with Thor...whatever...I want a mace-wielding hero in the game.
7. Speedball: I know many of you would prefer to see Robbie Baldwin as Penance, but I like the idea of energy bubbles. But..I wouldn't complain if we got both.
8. Stature: The daughter of the second Ant-Man (Scott Lang), Cassie Lang also went by the names of Giant-Girl and Stinger. The game needs a female who can grow like Goliath & Giant-Man. I wouldn't mind if Gaz went with the Janet (Wasp) version of Giant-Girl either.
9. Sabreclaw: In the MC2 world this is Wolverine's son. I would love a team-up of Daken, Wild Thing, Sabreclaw and their dad.
10. J2: Zane Marko, son of the original Juggernaut, is an A-Nexter who also has the powers granted by the Ruby of Cyttorak BUT he gets tired quicker and shrinks down...how funny would that be as a cooling period after a massive HU?
11. Komodo: Let's get a female with a lizard tail in the game. She should have passive-regeneration like Wolverine, too.
12. Prodigy: Not the Spidey alter-ego, not the Ritchie Gillmore version of the Spidey, I'm talking about David Alleyne. Then again, I think I rather have him in X-Men garb. But, why not both?
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/EWSkWYV.jpg[/IMG]
13. Wiccan: Would love to have this mage in the game, again his sexuality may leave him out. The game could use Scarlet Witch's son in a non-Grim Reaper or Demiurge form.
14. Big Bertha: I know many people find the GLA a joke, but, I LOVE heroes that have very limited powers. Kingpin should not be the heftiest person in the game.
15. Batwing: I always loved the Man-Bat episodes of the Batman cartoon of the 90's. I like the non-humanoid formed heroes.
16. Miss America: Not the Golden Era's Madeline Joyce, this is America Chavez. This Latina is an overpowered, Wonder-Woman type heroine. Again, her sexuality might stop her from being introduced in SHSO (even if Mystique is in the game). Her parents were lesbians, also...but, Blade's mom was a prostitute and that didn't stop Gaz from adding him.
17. Razorback: I think I'm the only one who likes Buford and was sad to see him as a Skrull.
18. Iron Lad: I'm totally fascinated by the Kang the Conquerer/Iron Lad time travelling dynamic and all the 'sliding doors' scenarios it brings us.
19. Mainframe: I hope having 2 Iron Man-type heroes in a row doesn't tick you off. But, Iron Lad and Mainframe would be easy for Gaz to create.
20. Rocket Racer: Gaz has the two Surfers in the game, it would be easy to turn that into a rocket-powered skateboard.
21. Bluestreak: When is Gaz going to add a female speedster?
22. Marvel Boy: I would love Noh-Varr in his Marvel Boy or Protector outfit. Game could use some more Kree-love.
23. Hazmat: Who doesn't like this radiation suit-wearing hero? Would love to see some radiation-type attacks.
24. Skein: I'd want her to have her Gypsy Moth abilities to fly on the hotspots
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VnpEHOh.jpg[/IMG]
25. Gauntlet: Anyone else remember the video game Bionic Commando? That reminds me of Gauntlet.
26. Mr. Immortal: The logistics of this hero would be great. He should have double the life (at least) of any of the other characters in the game and one third of the attack powers. OR, better yet, his PUs/HU should ALL be self-heal in increasing increments with NO damage to baddies. Think about it, a hero with only a weak combo!
27. Diamondback: Would love to have her throw all-types of diamonds (gas, explosive, acid, smoke, etc.)
28. Flatman: I'd like to see origami-style attacks and papercuts...I'd also like to see him roll up in a tube to knock down baddies.
29. Mettle: He should talk like the Surfers. Would love to team up with Hazmat, or have a PU like Colossus/Wolverine's 'Fastball Special'.
30. Gorilla-Girl: Out of all the primates/great apes in the Marvel Universe, the only one we have is Monkey King. Gaz needs to quit monkeying around. *rimshot*
31. Trauma: Being able to manifest into his opponent's worst fear...how great would it be to see him transform into a CLOWN!
32. Sunstreak: OK, she's almost the same as Firestar and Magma...but she wields a solar-lance!
33. Lightspeed: I'm always shocked that the Power Pack never gained in popularity. I figured we'd have a few animated movies with them with talks of a live-action by now. It would be a cool effect in the game to have her rainbow-trailed as well as have her able to heal and interact with Quicksilver's pads.
34. Wiz Kid: The game needs a technoformer. I hope he is the second wheelchaired in this game.
35. Finesse: Wouldn't it be great to have Taskmaster's daughter in SHSO?
36. Jennifer Kale: Having slightly more clothing than Shanna, this sorceress may never be seen in SHSO because of her sexuality, too.
There they are, my Top 36 of 'Also'-Avengers. Hope you all enjoyed them. Next week I'm starting Top 10 (or so) Alphabetical...starting, of course, withe letter "A".

Alphabet Top 10 or so "A"
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xeEOeOW.jpg[/IMG]
1. Apocalypse: He's one of the main Marvel villains. I would love to have a mission against him and his horsemen.
2. Ares: I want his axe, his spear, his mace, and his Stymphalian birds for his PUs/HU.
3. Agent Zero: I know he's lost his mutant powers, but it would be nice to get Nord and all his weapons.
4. A-Bomb: I'm an unabashed Hulk fan, I love the new animated Hulk series, I love A-Bomb.
5. Anti-Venom: I'm NOT a Spidey fan, but I wouldn't mind Anti-Venom.
6. Absorbing Man: I want him with the ball NOT the weird anchor-thing he's been sporting lately.
7. Airwalker: I would love to have him as precursor to Galactus.
8. Avalanche: I want a seismic villain screen shaker.
9. Aurora: We need more Alpha Flight members.
10. Azazel: Let's complete the family.
11. El Aguila: By now you know my love of all the swordsmen.
-
Alphabet Top 10 or so "B"
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/rW5lQnq.jpg[/IMG]
1. Black Bolt: Leader of the Inhumans and a sonic/sound based character. My nephew and I absolutely love him in Lego Marvels.
2. Banshee: An X-Men and another soundster. Where's our screamers, Gaz?
3. Bishop: ANOTHER X-Men we don't have.
4. Blob: Besides Magneto and Mystique we have no other Brotherhood members. How fun would it be to have someone who couldn't fit in the doors?
5. Baron Zemo: I know he sometimes has Adhesive X, but I want my glue-type villain to be Paste Pot Pete. i'd prefer Zemo to have a sword (go figure, right?) and his Moonstone.
6. Brother Voodoo: The game could use another Sorcerer Supreme. I want the drums and smoke and him to be able to send his brother out to possess baddies.
7. Baron Mordo: How great would it be to fight black magic-demons summoned by Mordo?
8. Black Knight: Three cheers for swordsmen! I also want him flying around on a winged horse.
9. Bastion: I love the Master Mold arcs. I love the Nimrod arcs. I love the Siege Perilous arcs. SHSO could use some more sentinel love.
10. Baron Von Strucker: Last of my three Barons, Strucker has death Spores and the Satan's Claw. He also is a swordsman!
11. Big Bertha: She would have to have an emote were she starts as the slender-bikini supermodel.
12. Blazing Skull: Am I the only one that likes him more than Ghost Rider?
-
Alphabet Top 10 or so "C" Characters
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YAj3Nr8.jpg[/IMG]
1. Captain Britain: Most people recognize him with the Union Jack-style uniform but make sure you take a look at his Britannic uniform (red with the yellow lion on the chest). I'd definitely want his PUs/HU to have his Star Sceptre and Amulet of Right included. Here is where I say that my favorite episode is "O Captain, My Captain", so, I hope they throw in Captain Canada, Captain Australia, Captain Brazil, and (my favorite) Captain Lichtenstein.
2. Captain Marvel: Call her Photon, Spectrum, Daystar, Pulsar, Sceptre, Lady of Light, Sun Goddess, or Monica Rambeau she was the leader of The Avengers. She can control and emit any frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum and I'd love to see her create a hologram (like Nick Fury) as one of her powers.
3. Cannonball: This X-Men/Avenger has many very cool variants, and Gaz does love giving us repaints/retreads. The one I pictured is my favorite, but I wouldn't argue with someone who likes his 'rocketeer' look. His P2 should be a 'blast-field' Team shield boost and I'd want him to actually pinball inbetween baddies.
4. Corsair: Father of Cyclops, Havok, and Vulcan. Leader ofthe Starjammers. AND a master of all Shi'ar bladed weapons. I'd love to see a Starjammer theme with a D'Ken led Shi'ar mission. BUT, we are forever cheated of X-Men related anything.
5. Carnage: I suspect that Gaz will provide us with another Spidey-themed month whenever the rights of Carnage, Anti-Venom, and Superior Spidey are available. Until then, I guess waiting for an April Fool's Day Spider-Ham will have to sate the Spidey fans. A Carnage mission should be the darkest mission in SHSO.
6. Crystal: SHSO has no Inhuman love. As I've stated many times, Crystal's abilities to control earth, wind, water, and fire would easily translate to three PUs and the one HU. I would love to hear the Voice Interactions between her and Pietro and Johnny Storm.
7. Crimson Dynamo: SHS had the Valentin Shatalov version in the episode "Tales of Suspense". There's as many versions of the C. Dynamo's armor as there is Iron Man's. I'm really shocked we haven't gotten any, yet.
8. Cloak: I think it would be crucial that BOTH Cloak and Dagger would be played as ONE squaddie. It would be amazing to see the combos/PUs/HU they could have. I think this is one of the few Marvel properties that Paramount still holds the license to, but I'm not sure.
9. Callisto: How great would it be to have to fight Morlocks whenever you stepped on a sewer lid? Or have to battle if you got caught in Villainville's sewer? Or have a Genosha mission? Or have a Muir Island mission? But alas, she's X-Men related. So Callisto, and the possiblity of her having tentacles while battling her probably will not see SHSO.
10. Count Nefaria: Nefaria is a member of the Maggia. He's one of the most powerful villains in Marvel. His ionic powers would be very welcomed to the game.
11. Crossbones: This guy has been beat up by almost every popular Marvel hero there is, but he and his crossbow and daggers keeps coming back. I would love to see a mission were you fight him and his Skeleton Crew.
12. Ch'od: The second Starjammer on the list of "C"-characters (I'm biased so expect more Starjammers on future lists). Yes, he looks exactly like Abombination, but he has a furry, rat-like friend name Cr'reee (the third 'e' is ridiculous) that could make a great attack. Ch'od is also a swordsman, so he gets a few bonus points in my book.
-
Alphabet Top 10 or so "D" Characters
Since Gaz has been mixing it up with what day they upload content, I almost forgot to upload this. Here it is, my Top 10 +6 (there was too many for me to deny) of "D"-characters. My apologies to anyone who adores Diamondback, Dust (she came close), and either of the two Dusks (Peter Parker or the Black Marvel's Slingers- Cassie St. Commons)...but, these are better:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Lhrc66r.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NStjZGc.jpg[/IMG]
1. Domino: Will we ever see an X-Force member outside of Cable? If/when we do I hope we see Neena. She could be the first female in the game with a staff, but she must have different types of guns, too.
2. Drax the Destroyer: Drax is probably the most likely character on this list to come to the game, I'm convinced Gaz will give us a GOTG theme. He use to look like a green & purple 'The Vision' knock-off, especially with his cape. Now his tatooed, green skin is the more recognized version. He better be a knife fighter.
3. Dazzler: I think we all want her to have rollerskates the whole time, but we would settle for her to skate on the Quicksilver hotspots. I would love her to have a strobe effect as one of her PUs or HU.
4. Dr. Nemesis: I'm a sucker for this X-Forcer's classic white trenchcoat, fedora, and surgical mask look, but I'd happily accept his Marvel NOW!-half cyborg look. He needs his twin guns and his oscillotron gun would make an excellent seismic attack for his HU.
5. Daken: Wolverine's son would be the easiest on this list for Gaz to program. His combo could easily be a clone of any of the Wolverine's. Just make him have different PUs & HU and I'd be happy.
6. Dark Beast: I'd want him as a mission boss in a Morlock mission, first (he created the Morlocks). I changed my mind, Dark Beast would be the easiest for Gaz to program...he'd better be wearing a trenchcoat.
7. Dr. Druid: If you've been faithfully following my lists, then you'd know I'm a huge booster of Dr. Druid. This hero was Marvel's original Monster Hunter and took Marvel from the Atlas Era (think: Giant Monsters) to the age of the superheroes. Having another sorcerer in the game would be great. Having him battle giant monsters would be better.
8. Dagger: It would be crucial for her to be part of Gaz's first duo hero with Cloak. It would also be amazing. She'd bring her light daggers as well as having a Team Heal to the duo. I think Gaz could charge 1500 gold for this pair.
9. Dani Moonstar: Call her Mirage or Psyche, this Fearless Defender has amazing possibilities for the game. She could be the first female archer in the game. She could fly around on her horse, Brightwind. She can manifest "worst fears" of her enemies (I think a scary clown PU would be perfect). She also fights with a sword and spear. She'd also be the first Native American in the game...just saying.
10. Darkhawk: He's one of nephew's favorite action figures. Darkhawk does look 'cool' and it would be a must for him to have a grappling-claw for a right hand.
11. Doc Samson: Doc Samson was on SHS. Who doesn't want a green haired muscle man with psychiatrist emotes? He better have the long hair and not the Beverly Hills 90210 sideburn look he's been sporting in the comics lately.
12. Deathlok: He's been featured on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'd love to shoot his plasma rifle and swing some knives with this cybernetic freak.
13. Dragon Man: Dragon Man would have to be larger than Sasquatch. This flying android could have great fire-breathing attacks, tail whips, wing attacks, and talon attacks.
14. Doop: Not since the day I first saw Slimer from Ghostbusters have I wanted to play as a floating green booger. I think it would be great for him to pull various weapons out of his mouth for his PUs/HU, especially an axe and Mjoliner replicas.
15. Devil Dinosaur: She would have to be bigger than Dragon Man who would have to be bigger than Sasquatch. I think adding a Savage Land mission or zone is crucial to the game. I also think that Devil Dinosaur must have Moon-Boy riding on her and he should be part of her PU attacks.
16. Demolition Man: Classic Darevil's unifor. Wolverine's mask. Cable's size. A professional wrestler's moves. How fun would this character be?
-
Alphabet Top 10 or so "E" Characters
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/7TFZ92n.jpg[/IMG]
1. Elektro: Since it seems that Sony owns the rights to the name and Jamie Foxx version of Electro, I wonder if we'll ever see the classic Max Dillon look. I would love a boss battle were Elektro moves around on overhead high-voltage lines and you have to smash transformers to make him appear.
2. Energizer: How great would it be to have kid-size heroes in SHSO? Katie would be great to be the first one with her energy balls. I would also love an 'Elsewhere' mission. I hope the Power Pack are not on the DNU list.
3. Egghead: Wayne Knight voiced him in SHS. No one hates Hank Pym more than this guy. I want a mission with new types of robots to beat, and if Gaz wanted to have the Mad Thinker and Puppet Master in too, that would be sweet.
4. Executioner: I know he's dead. I know his magic axe is now used by Blood axe. I still think Skurge would be great to have in the game, even if he was just a mini-boss in some new Enchantress missions or if Gaz wants to give us the Masters of Evil.
5. Echo: It would be interesting to see how Gaz would handle the voiceovers for Maya Lopez. We have three blind Daredevils in the game, how about a deaf one, Gaz? I love the white handprint on the face and photographic reflexes she has, and I would love to see a Ronin emote.
6. Exodus: An Omega-level villain, the problem is he is mostly X-Men related. And Gaz has shown us a severe lack of all things X-Men. If they give us Exodus, it should be either a Genosha or Avalon based background. He should have teleporting, telepathy, and telekinesis style attacks.
7. Emplate: The fanged mouths in the palms of his hand could make his missions the scariest in the game. We need a spookier type mission.
8. Elixir: Another Omega-level mutant. Elixir would be a definite Team Healer. He should also change color from gold to black during his attacks and have a long-recovery time.
9. Empath: I just want all the Hellions and New Mutants. But, Gaz hates the X-Men or they all are on the DNU list.
10. Eel: The Eel I want is the second version, Edward Lavell. I'm a big fan of the Serpent Squad and Serpent Society. I also find it humorous that most reptile-based characters are villains. Marvel takes cold-blooded literal. Anyways, Eel should have the electric suit.
11. Eternity: Eternity should be seen in the backgrounds of some space missions as well as have a role like Uatu in the game. He should give out something. I wouldn't mind if they created a game in the arcade based around him.
12. Ego the Living Planet: I want him to be the planet in a Galactus mission. I want him to be the voiceover for the mission. I want a little Ego revolving around my hero after I beat a crisis version of Galactus on Addy.
I hope you enjoyed it! "F" is coming up next, duh...and it's almost done.

10 or so Jewish Characters for Purim
Shalom and Chag Sameach! While eating your goodies from mishloach manot, poppyseed hamentash is my favorite, enjoy my Top 10 or so Jewish heroes we need. Gut Yontiff & Happy Purim to your families!

1. Polaris: Will we ever complete the family? I would love to see an emote referencing her time as Pestilence, one of the four horsemen of the Apocolypse. I think Gaz may not like green hair...
2. Songbird/Screaming Mimi: I think most of us would love having Songbird or Screaming Mimi because both were in SHS. The game really needs a sonic hero, and Marvel has so many to choose from (Black Bolt, Banshee, Siryn to name a few). I would love to see different 'solid sound' constructs as well as a bullhorn/megaphone PU/HU.
3. Sabra: She's the closest thing to Captain Israel, besides the cheesy hero with that moniker produced by the Stand With Us group (seriously, it's fun to be self-deprecating but Foreskin Man?!). I like Ruth's old costume with the flying cape, embellished with the Israeli Star of David, than the newer one (lower picture). Ruth should have wrist shooters similar to Black Widow's.
4. Doc Samson: What is it with Marvel giving Jews green hair? He was on SHS, and I would love to see a psychiatrist's couch emote.
5. Justice: This character has range. Whether he is Marvel Boy, GOTG's Vance Astro, or Major Victory...or the aforementioned Justice, he always has telekinetic powers.
6. The Two-Gun Kid: Still waiting for Gaz to give a nod to Marvel's western past. I know cowboys aren't cool anymore, but this hero is. A double six-shooter ranged hero would be amazing. I'd prefer him on his horse, but I know Hawkeye has given him one of his twin-engine jet cycles.
7. Joseph: You may start to notice that the rest of these are repaints/reskins , that's because they're just not enough Jewish heroes. Joseph is the clone of Magneto in an X-Men suit.
8. Age of X Magneto: We have two Dooms, how about some Magneto love, Gaz? My favorite alternate Magneto costume is this all white one.
9. Future Foundation Thing: I would love to see some new Thing-based attacks, but if Gaz just slapped the new uni on the old Thing, I would buy it. That, and he's in the code.
10. Quicksilver: I HATE the costume of the one Gaz gave us. I HATE IT!
11. House of M Scarlet Witch: I would love to see a full dress on one of the heroes...especially one of the female heroes.
12. Shadowcat: I love the non-X-Men uniform she wears.
13. Iceman: I've said it before and I'll repeat myself until Gaz gets it right, Iceman with hair is STUPID! "Classic Iceman" is in the code.
Now to get me some hamentash.

Top 10 or so Irish/Irish-American Characters for St. Patrick's Day
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Pull up a green beer, some corned beef and cabbage, and maybe a bowl of Lucky Charms...it's time for my Top 10 or so Irish missing characters. Without further ado, Erin go bragh:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/WzaefUe.jpg[/IMG]
1. Banshee: Sean Cassidy. The most likely member on this list, even though he is an X-Men member. How long before we get a screamer, Gaz?
2. Shamrock: Molly Fitzgerald. So cool McDonald's named a shake after her. Like Domino, her power is mostly increasing the luck around her. They call it the "luck of the Irish". Shamrock's true power is the ability to summon the poltergeists of all the fallen Irish warriors. I could see a similar PU/HU to Valkyrie's attack that does that as well.
3. Siryn: Theresa Cassidy. She also went by Banshee and now she is The Morrigan. She should have the ability to have a team shield boost by creating sonic shields.
4. J. Jonah Jameson: Gaz uses the code NPC in their game files for whay are non-playable characters. We get to see his office during the Loki/Malekith attacks. I want to see J. Jonah give out mission briefings or have some type of newspaper collection hunt that awards content.
5. Black Tom: Thomas Cassidy. Banshee's cousin carries a shillelagh and can now control plants. I really want a mission that goes through forests/woods, but an Irish mission through a golf course would be funny.
6. Feron: Anyway we can get some more Excalibur team members, Gaz? Feron is the resident magician on Excalibur and can bind enemies like Dr. Strange's PU and create shields.
7. Boulder: Emery Schaub. Taskmaster called him Butterball. He has similar powers to Juggernaut with a costume any of us could have in our closets. We need a fat hero.
8. Bloodwraith: Sean Dolan. The only reason why I want him is that he is a main antagonist against the Black Knight. We wields the Ebony blade and has a winged horse named Valinor.
9. Cu Sith: I know these hounds are mostly Scottish, but they share the Gaelic tongue. These hounds would be good to battle as mission spawns as well as being a sidekick.
10. Plasma: Leila O'Toole. I mostly want her boss, The Living Pharaoh. But, either of Plasma's outfits would be fun as she shoots plasma out of her hands and eyes. I want to see more mini-bosses in the game.
11. Sea Witch: Bridget O'Hare. This Young God got her powers from the Celestials and can control water. We need a water based hero.
12. Conquest: Bridget Malone. She carries the Kestral Key of Krakkan given to her by The Octessence. She is a member of the Exemplars, a group containing its most famous member, Juggernaut.
Now, where's my Guinness...

Alphabet Top 10 or so "F" Characters
After a nice break from the alphabet with my Purim and St. Paddy's Day posts, it's time to get back in swing of things with my Top 10 +6 "F" list. This list has almost as many "F"s as your mom's high school transcript. Enjoy!
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/p5C7bF5.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KfnaZ61.jpg[/IMG]
1. Forge: He's made many of my lists... I want a Forge's Shop in an X-Men zone where you can have him change your duplicate items into stuff you want. I want him to have his mutant neutralizing gun as his HU. I want him to have his mystic ability just like Valkyrie's, but conjuring up Native American warriors. Is that TOO much, Gaz?
2. Fantomex: Where are our X-Force heroes? Fantomex should have an amazing emote that makes him separate into Cluster, Weapon XIII, and Fantomex. I want him to have double handguns with E.V.A.-based PUs/HU. Eff the DNU list.
3. Fandral the Dashing: My favorite of The Warriors Three, Fandral is a top notch swordman. The game could really use a fencing-style swordman. Fandral could be him. I'd like to see his horse, Firehooves, too.
4. Feral: I hope when* we get her she is not a repaint of Tigra. *As far as I know Feral is not in the code or on any Gaz list, but I like to pretend her name is on a big whiteboard with checkmarks representing votes next to her name in the Gaz office in San Mateo.
5. Franklin Richards: I'm a big believer in child-size heroes for SHSO. I'd prefer him in his Fantastic "4 1/2" T-Shirt, but wouldn't mind the Future Foundation uni (if we get a big Future Foundation Theme) or his Ultimate X-Men uni. The problem is, Franklin is considered the top Omega-level mutant on Earth, so I'd like Gaz to have a little fun with with his telekinetic/telepathic powers making them very childlike/whimsical. I'd like to see his cowboy outfit as an emote/PU.
6. The Forgotten One: AKA Gilgamesh, he would've made the "G" list, too. My favorite of his three main unis is the Greek-looking toga skirt. I want him to have club and/or spear attacks. Surely, Thanos can't be the only Eternal we get. And quit calling me 'Shirley'.
7. Flag-Smasher: I want an ULTIMATUM mission SOOOOOO badly. Flag-Smasher is mostly known for his spiked mace (a must) but he also has a flame-throwing pistol and a tear-gas gun.
8. Flatman: I think SHSO could use anothe GLA member. Dr. Ventura could have great attacks based on origami, paper cuts, and rolling up into a log. I also think it would be funny for him to have PU that has him turn sideways turning him invisible.
9. Firebird: How many fire-based female heroes does Marvel have? Too many to count. But, Bonita could bring us more CatPeople and Rangers.
10. Flux: I'm an unapologetic Hulk fan and want more Hulk stuff. I mostly want Flux as a miniboss in a General Ryker mission. When do we get to beat up on tanks in this game?
11. Flipside: I know we have the Venom mission. I just think a Flipside mission would be more fun as well as bring a 2099 mission to SHSO.
12. Firelord: I want all of Galactus' heralds because that's how I roll. Pyreus and his cosmic staff were on SHS and would be welcome in SHSO.
13. Foolkiller: He's on the list because of that hat and his gun. Oh, and he was in a few Man-Thing comics.
14. Frog-Man: I love bumbling superheroes. I would LOVE using Eugene in a White Rabbit & Walrus mission.
15. Forbush Man: Irving is my frontrunner for April Fool's Day 2015.
16. Fafnir: He's the dragon under Foolkiller. I'm obsessed with Marvel giants and monsters. I fear that Gaz will keep giving us human-size villains so they can 'double dip' by making them playable. I want to take down BIG villains.
Sorry about the mom joke. MORE sorry to anyone who wanted Fancy Dan on this list.

Alphabet Top 10 or so "G" Characters
Only good thing about a Mr. Fixit box is that I'll be saving my gold to buy badges for heroes I do have. That, and more time to look at my Top 10 +2 list of "G" characters. Here's my G-Unit:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9PWO9oN.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/LDScf7W.jpg[/IMG]
1. Galactus: I don't know what needs to be said about Galactus that would convince anyone that he needs to be in the game...I think the game would greatly improve with giant size bosses to fight, the Fin Fang Foom missions are GREAT, and there is none bigger than Galan. The problem I see is that Gaz is getting to 'double-dip' in having villains the same size as the heroes, i.e. they get to make them playable and sell them. This may cause the monsters/giants to not be included, or it may be just laziness in thinking on the logistics of how the boss battle could happen because of visual perspective.
2. Groot: I'd be shocked if we didn't get the 5 GOTG members that will be in the fall movie. I think the only question will be is if we get him 'naked' or in the standard GOTG blue uniform. Hell, I'd even let Vin Diesel voice for him.
3. Gorilla-Man: Out of the three Marvel 'Gorilla-Man's, I'm talking about the Agent of Atlas, Ken Hale. The Agents of Atlas have been around since the 50's and have never gotten their due in new media. Who wouldn't want to play as a gun-toting ape?
4. GoGo Tomago: There's going to be a Big Hero 6 movie this fall. If you don't know who they are, you SHOULD. Leiko can turn into an energy ball after saying her name. Would love to see her 'pinballing' against baddies.
5. Gorgon: Out of the two Marvel Gorgon's, I'm talking about the Inhuman (though Tomi Shishido would be welcome to SHSO, too). Having a squaddie with bull legs and hooves with varying seismic attacks would be great. Having ANY Inhuman would be great... I'd also want a bull charge and bull-snorting emotes.
6. Gargoyle: Out of the two Marvel Gargoyle's (geesh, Marvel isn't too imaginative with the letter "g" names), I'm talking about Isaac Christians. Gargoyles are just cool.
7. Gamora: The 2nd GOTG member on this list, I would have preferred Mantis as the female GOTG member, but I digress...Gamora should have sword and dagger attacks and I would love to hear the voice interactions between her and Thanos.
8. Gladiator: Out of the two Marvel Gladiator's (I should have copy/pasted this sentence...), I'm talking about Kallark of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. He has laser-heat vision, frost breath, and the ability to fly at lightspeeds. Some say he is Marvel's Superman.
9. Ghost: SHSO could use some Thunderbolt love and some H.A.M.M.E.R. integration. Would love to see a character in the game who can stay invisible longer.
10. Grey Gargoyle: I want a mission with him where he turns himself completely into stone making him move MUCH slower but taking less damage while giving out more. I also want the boss room to be filled with baddie statues that come to life to attack you during the battle (much like the barrels during the regular Loki mission). It would be cool if he turned your hero into stone for brief periods, too.
11. Grim Reaper: Would love to see all of the members of the Lethal Legion in the game starting with Wonder Man's brother, Eric Williams. I also think he'd be a great way to integrate Maggia storyline/missions into SHSO. I've said it before, I want the Grim Reaper to helicopter around with his scythe and he should have some magical abilities, too.
12. Gauntlet: One of two Marvel Gauntlet's (I'm not making this stuff up or doing it intentionally, I SWEAR!!!), I'm talking about Joe Green and not the Inhuman on Apocolypse's Dark Riders. How many great Gauntlet arm attacks could there be?
Now to watch some spring training...

Alphabet Top 10 or so "H" Characters Part I
Unabridged- what us older people call TL/DR. Enjoy.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/I3th29I.jpg[/IMG]
1. Hercules: Hercules has appeared in SHS and a SHS console video game. He has been spotted in the code. I would love to use him in a Chaos King mission while wielding his adamantine mace.
2. Hulkling: Half Skrull and half Kree. Teddy can shapeshift. If this Young Avenger comes to the game despite his sexuality, I would love to see him fly and have passive health regen. In no particular order...a winged attack, a claw attack, a Mr. Fantastic style stretchy-arm attack, and an armor growing/shield attack should be his PUs/HU.
3. Hellcat: Marvel has a LOT of female catlike heroines. Patsy has been in the Marvel pantheon since the mid-40s. She got her uniform from The Cat, Greer Nelson (who is now known as Tigra), in the 70's. She's been kicking butt since.
4. Howard the Duck: Who doesn't want to practice Quack-Fu? I'd love to have a Dr. Bong or Hellcow mission...but Howard has battled/befriended Man-Thing, too. I also think it would be amazing to get an Iron Duck alternate version.
5. Hawkeye: SHSO NEEDS a female archer. Kate Bishop would be an obvious choice. She's not a one-weapon girl, though...Kate also wields a sword and battle staves. I'm looking forward to getting some Young Avengers.
6. Hepzibah: Although this ex-Starjammer (now an X-Men) looks like another Marvel female feline, her race is actually closer to the skunk. She does have skunk-like abilities and can release various scents, including mind altering/controlling ones. She never goes anywhere without her Shi'ar energy guns. When are we going to see some Starjammers in SHSO?
7. The Hood: SHSO needs a crime syndicate other than Kingpin. My three favorite are the Maggia, the Serpent Society, and The Hood's. Parker Robbins currently has his invisibility cloak/hood and his flying boots to go along with several AIM & HYDRA weapons. Parker can also transform into the Nisanti demon that is inside him. He has in the past possessed the Infinity gems and Norn stones, so the types of attacks he could have surpass any other Marvel character by far. I'm working on a Top 10 or so Hood crime syndicate list.
8. Honey Lemon: Disney is bringing us a Big Hero 6 animated movie this fall. The members of Big Hero 6 are the closest thing to anime that Marvel has. I suspect a series on DXD will soon follow. Honey Lemon's main power is the ability to pull anything she wants out of her purse. This would make for some fantastic PUs/HU and emotes.
9. H.E.R.B.I.E.: If it is applicable, this robot will be on every list I make. BEFORE there was the Human Torch, HERBIE was the 4th member of the Fantastic Four. He's in SHS, and I know many of you think he should be a sidekick, I still contend that he'd be a fine playable hero with laser attacks and his extending arms. He's in the Smithsonian he should be SHSO.
10. Hyperion: Regardless of the Marvel Universe, whether it's 616, 712, 31916, or any number you could imagine, there is a version of Hyperion in it. Alongside the Imperial Guard Kallark (Gladiator), Hyperion is considered Marvel's 'Superman', heck- he's a journalist, too! I think the Marvel NOW!-Hyperion as an Avenger would make a nice addition to the game. Be thankful I didn't start his description with "One of three Marvel characters named Hyperion".
11. Hogun the Grim: This mace-wielding Asgardian would fit right in SHSO. I dream of playing a mission with Thor and Warriors Three. Especially against Mangog.
12. Hiroim: I'm a HUGE Hulk fan. HUGE! If you haven't read the World War Hulk/Planet Hulk books or seen the animated-movie, you're missing out. Planet Hulk would be my 2nd "Most Wanted" zone...hmmm...another list idea. Back to Hiroim. This shamed Shadow Priest became a member of the Warbound to defeat the Red King. His sword and a Red King mission would make me squeal.

Alphabet Top 10 or so "H" Characters Part II
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5JOg9AS.jpg[/IMG]
13. Hellion: Is it greedy to want Julian Keller in both his Red 'Hellion' X-Men uniform and his current detached hands version? Think of all the cool attacks those detached hands could do. I'd love a detached pimp hand/bitch slap, but it's a kids' game AND those phrases aren't PC. So, Gaz can call it the Hellion (or Heckion) Backhand or Slap.
14. Hornet: Thought you can go through one of these lists avoiding a Spidey? Well, this time you can! Though, this Identity Crisis Spidey suit would be acceptable, I'd prefer the Eddie McDonough Slinger. One of three Marvel characters named Hornet <audience groan>, Eddie was given his suit by The Black Marvel (The Mayor in SHS suit's is based on The Black Marvel). His wrist bands shoot darts and lasers.
15. Hazmat: With Marvel NOW!'s "Avengers Undercover" recently released we may see Jennifer. I love the various radiation attacks by the Hulks, a hero with dedicated radiation attacks would be cool. Let's get Reptil some of his academy friends in the game.
16. Hardball: One of my favorite PUs in the game is when Avenger Hulk gets his 'stone hands' on. A character who always has those and can project shields and can shoot off energy balls would be fantastic.
17. Husk: Paige is Cannonball's little sister. Her ability to shed her skin while morphing into different materials would make AMAZING PUs/HU. I would love to see a hero who gets a different boost for each PU/HU. Imagine... Husk's P1 turning her into fire and giving her a speed boost, a P2 turning her into diamond giving her a shield boost, a P3 turning her into stone giving her a damage boost, and an HU turning her into adamantium giving her a shield & damage boost.
18. Hulk 2099: My least favorite Hulk. John Eisenhart should have a bite attack and claw attacks. And why don't the Hulks have a passive regen in this game?
19. Hobgoblin: There has been over 10 Hobgoblins. Even Deadpool wore the outfit. This would be an easy repaint/retread for Gaz.
20. Humbug: Before you say "Bah!" and rip his head off Shang-Chi style, I'd like to see the old orange suit Buck Mitty mission with new bugs and the Hero for Hire Buck Mitty with the exoskeleton.
Sorry for my wordiness. I'm feeling epic today.

Top 10 or so Characters from India
Namaste! For those who don't know, today is the start of the biggest Holiday/festival week in India. There's Rama Navami, Mahavir Jayanti, Vaisakhi, Ambedkar Jayanti, and Mesadi/Vaisakhadi. To mark this occasion I sifted through the 1.5 billion peoples of India to bring you the Top 10+6 Marvel Indian Characters:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9J18PvR.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/tyipLwG.jpg[/IMG]
1. Omega Sentinel: Karima Shapandar. She was the main Prime Sentinel (human who has been taken over by Bastion-made nanites in order to destroy mutants). Her body was destroyed by Magneto, her brain/memories were 'rebuilt' by Prof. X, and her body was rebuilt by Beast. She has all the power of a Sentinel including lasers and projectiles/missiles. Sounds good to me.
2. Thunderbird: Neal Shaara. One of two Marvel characters named Thunderbird, ironically the other is an 'American Indian'/Native American. As well as flight, Neal can shoot plasma blasts, flashes, or balls.
3. Cerebra: Shakti Haddad. A telepath, Shakti can also use her telepathy to paralyze or stun her enemies. She also is a master of Indian martial arts.
4. Indra: Paras Gavaskar. Paras can create either an armadillo-like armor or a Hindu-warrior with his powers. He also can generate psionic swords and daggers (like Psylocke). Those four would make nice PUs/HU.
5. Spider-Man India: Pavitr Prabhakar. The books are artistically beautiful. He is a clone of Spider-Man and with many Southeast-Asian players, he'd be immensely popular.
6. Black Box: Garabed Bashur. I want a Black Box mission with lots of clones of Makeshift, Rive, and Black Box. I want to fight him teaming up with Cable, Deadpool, and Deadpool Corpsman.
7. Ghost Rider: Shoba Mirza. Who doesn't want a four-armed, multiple-sword wielding, flaming-elephant riding Ghost Rider? Imagine flaming elephant stomping and rushing PUs/HU and in-zone flaming elephants running around from the Quicksilver hotspots.
8. Zero/One: Dr. Parul Kurinji. She exposed herself to a techno-virus and is now a machine/human hybrid. Parul can morph her arms into machine weaponry.
9. Rakshasa: Nalin Oberoi. Spider-Man India's version of Green Goblin, Nalin is a crimelord who finds an amulet that transforms him into a rakhasa (evil Indian demon).
10. Black Fog: Name is unknown. Black Fog is a serial killer from India. He uses powerful blades while generating a thick black fog. The more he uses his powers the brighter he glows. Would love to see him as a sub-boss in a Zero/One mission. I'd love to see ANY sub-boss.
11. Vesper: Raani Jatwinder. Another technopath, Marvel likes to stereotype Indians as tech-support, Raani could bring Genetix to SHSO.
12. Vindaloo: Venkat Katregadda. Vindaloo is an Acolyte and can shoot napalm out of his hands, unlike the Indian dish of the same name which makes you shoot napalm out of your anus.
13. Haven: Rahda Dastoor. If your looking for a mutant that is controlled by a sentient fetus, wants to bring on a Mahapralaya (Great Destruction), and can warp reality...then this is the character for you. AND you need professional pyschiatric help.
14. Timeslip: Rina Patel. This New Warrior (I think the only New Warriors we have is Scarlet Spider & Firestar) is another teleporter. She can also slow down and speed up time.
15. Monsoon: Aloba Dastoor. Haven's brother has the same powers as Storm.
16. Star Thief: Ditmal Pirval. One of two Marvel Characters named Star Thief, Ditmal is known as the weakest cosmic character in Marvel.
Enjoy!

Alphabet Top 10 or so "I" Characters
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/T81A2r8.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/u4ZvxSV.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/6oVLs0G.jpg[/IMG]
1. Indra: Hopefully you recently read about Paras in the salute to India Top 10. The first three pictures are of him. His purple 'armadillo' armor, Paras without armor, and Paras with his retractable Hindu-warrior armor. He can generate psionic swords and daggers like Psylocke.
2. Ikaris: A cosmic Eternal, Ikaris can shoot cosmic energy from his hands or eyes, he can fly, he can teleport, he can create shields, he has heat energy, he can produce concussive blasts, he can create illusions, he has passive health regeneration. He'd be awesome.
3. Icarus: Joshua "Jay" Guthrie is the younger brother of Cannonball & Husk. He has self-heal & flight (an Angel clone) BUT he also has sonic abilities. The game really needs a sonic/voice hero.
4. Interloper: You might be saying, "I'm a truck driver from Wales. Is there a hero for me?" Look no further than this 8-foot tall Eternal. Like most other Eternals, he shoots beams from his eyes and hands, has health regeneration, super strength & speed.
5. Inertia: Edith "Eddy" Freiberg is an American Redeemer (middle pic), Squadron Supreme (pictured on left), and Supreme Power (pictured on right) member who can absorb energy and reverse it.
6. Iron Lad: This Young Avenger the most interesting new character that Marvel has done. Sure, in this version his powers/costume are an easy Iron Man clone (although a smaller, teen version of Iron Man is cool) but it will be interesting to see this youngster transform into the future Kang the Conquerer.
7. Inhuman Torch: This version is from the House of M's Fearsome Four. He is Dr. Doom's adopted son, Kristoff Vernard. He's best friends with Nathanial Richards (who is Iron Lad- see #6 above), and MAYBE the son of Nathanial Richards! *This version is from the House of M Fearsome Four.
8. Iron Cross: Helmut Gruler is the German version of the Crimson Dynamo or Titanium Man. His armor can shoot out poison gas and squid ink.
9. Ironclad: Mike Steel (another punny Marvel name) is a U-Foe who can change his body into metal like Colossus. But, Mike can change the densities more and can even float.
10. Isolationist: Josef Huber has every mutant power of those around him. But, it exhausts himself to use them OR it makes him sick to do so. This would be an interesting mission if Gaz could make Huber copy the moves of the squaddies playing it.
11. Iron Monger: Think Obadiah Stane from the first Iron Man movie. He was Howard Stark's business partner and created his exoskeletons to defeat Iron Man. I'm still shocked we haven't seen an Iron Monger or Whiplash in this game.
12. Inferno: Samantha McGee is an Exemplar who has possession of the Blazing Brazier of Balthakk. Balthakk is a magical demon who participated in the Wager of the Octessence (the most famous out come is Juggernaut). Sammy can fly and shoot bolts of fire.
13. Ink: Eric Gitter. Eric gets his 'mutant power' from the tattooes placed on him by the true mutant, Leon Nunez. He has a biohazard tat that causes illness, a Caduceus tat that heals, a Colossus flesh tat that gives him strength & armor, a winged tat that can allow him to fly, an explosion tat that allows him to blow stuff up, a double lighting bolt tat that allows him to read minds, and a Phoenix eye tat that gives him limited-Phoenix powers. Any combination of 4 would make excellent PUs/HU.
14. Iridia: My niece likes butterflys and wanted her picture included. Iridia is an Inhuman that was old and ugly until transformed by the Terragin mists into a lovely butterfly-like hero. Her only power so far is flight. But, my niece is only 4 and cute as a button, so Iridia is #14.
15. Icemaster: Not making this up, Icemaster was created to promote Hostess pies. Icemaster has the same powers of Iceman and froze most of NYC. The Human Torch defeated him not by using his flames ability to melt ice, but by throwing Hostess pies at him. SHSO could use an ice-villain other than Ymir.
16. It! The Living Colossus: One of the most popular monsters in Marvel's history. It! started as a Russian statue, was animated by an alien race called the Kigors, stomped most of Moscow, Russian army came, the Kigors left, statue brought to Los Angeles, Kigors came back, special effect guy Bob O'Bryan stopped It!, Kigors transferred mind control of It! to Bob, Hulk destroyed It!, Bob rebuilt It! as a robot. SHSO needs giant robots and monsters.
Until next time, True Believers.

Alphabet Top 10 or so "J" Characters
Happy 3rd Birthday, SHSO! Today is my Top 10+6 of "J" characters. Grab a slice of cake and get to work on these:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fno296P.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/rufvTm4.jpg[/IMG]
1. Jubilee: I hope we get the regular firework shooting X-Men version before we get Wondra or her vampire form. Yes, I want all three. I'd even want Abcissa if Gaz wanted to go a Mojo theme. I'M GREEDY!
2. Jimmy Woo: There's a lot of Coulson-fandom out there, and there should be. Clark Gregg, and all the willing producers, have done an amazing job of keeping the continuity of the character. But, before there was Coulson, there was Jimmy Woo. I'd love to see an "Agents of Atlas" theme or a "Godzilla" theme.
3. Jessica Jones-Cage: AKA Jewel (right), Knightress (left). She's been married to Scott Lang and Luke Cage. She has a detective agency (when depowered). She's been a Hero for Hire. She has a live-action series in development. SHSO could use some more females.
4. J. Jonah Jameson: To prevent the game from being TOO formulaic, I think there will come a day when a story mode will have to be instituted. That SHOULD mean non-playable characters giving out missions.
5. Jocasta: Ultron made her to be his wife, when does that EVER work? Jocasta is made of titanium and can shoot lasers out of her eyes and generate shields.
6. Jack of Hearts: His name is Jonathan "Jack" Hart, coincidence? He has one of my favorite cheesey costumes out of any superhero. Along with his concussive blasts, heat blasts, and flight, I want a funny voice interaction between him and Gambit.
7. Josiah X: Genetic son of the 'Black Captain America', Josiah wears a chainmail shirt and has the plain-colored, double "v" triangular shield.
8. J2: Juggernaut's son, Zane Yama-Marko, has all of his powers...but...when Zane uses them too long, he reverts back to normal size. That would be a fantastic visual (cooldown) after a huge HU.
9. Jackal: A Miles Warren cloning mission or a Spider-Island mission would be fantastic in SHSO.
10. Joseph: Speaking of clones...how about a Magneto clone? Where's a long-haired male in SHSO?
11. Jackpot: One of Marvel's more bizarre story-lines is the story of the two Jackpots. Selling a secret identity, falsifying a 'crush' to detract a true lesbian crush with the original Jackpot, the use of MGH, the murder of her husband in front of her and her kid, changing her name to the person she sold her identity to. Just bizarre. But who wants normal stories? Jackpot has the super-soldier abilities that the mutant growth hormone (MGH) gives you.
12. Justice: Vance Astrovik is the best paradox story in Marvel. He once was called Marvel Boy and spent some time in jail for killing his father. He also is on again/off again with Firestar. Vance is a telekinetic who can also fly.
13. Jolt: Hallie Takahama got her powers from experimentation by Arnim Zola. She has electrical control, obviously. SHSO could use a pure electrical hero or villain.
14. Jack Flag: Jack Harrison got his super-soldier ability via a chemical spill while robbing Mr. Hyde. He now is a member of GoTG.
15. Jolen: This Inhuman can control plant life. SHSO needs a plant mission, plant heroes, plant spawns, plant ANYTHING. Maybe just Plant-Man and the Captains from "O Captain, My Captain" <wink>.
16. Jack O'Lantern: I'd take any of the 6 villains that wore this costume. It would make a perfect Halloween mission. And with the mechanics already done with Green Goblin, it would be easy for Gaz to do. I'd like to see a moonlit spooky-foggy village with a swamp and cemetery and an abandoned church boss level. Or an abandoned themepark.
Now to get my pig on...

Patriot's List: Part 1 of 4
That's right, Part 1 of FOUR. This is the biggest list, yet. Happy Patriot's Day, everyone! Grab a crock of beans or chowdah, a nice Sam Adam's and grab a comfy chair for this 'wicked-awesome' list of those patriotic-looking heroes that Gaz could, and some say "should", add to our little game. There's 54 of them, one for each state, commonwealth, and territory-so buckle in:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fvPJJEh.jpg[/IMG]
1. Isaiah Bradley: Often called the "black Captain America", Isaiah is the result of a Tuskegee-style program called 'Project:Rebirth'. Rebirth's goal was to recreate the success of the creation of Capt. America. The other 299 men from the experiment died. Only 5 made it outside of the experiment. Isaiah is the genetic father of Josiah X and genetic grandfather of Elijah Bradley (Patriot). Isaiah has all of Cap's powers but is bigger and stronger.
2. Bucky: DC has Robin. Marvel has Bucky. The images given could either be James Buchanan Barnes (Bucky-Winter Soldier-Captain America), Fred Davis (V-Batallion), Jack Monroe (2nd Nomad-Scourge of the Underworld), or Rick Jones (A-bomb, Hulk). Other Bucky's: Lemar Hoskins (Battlestar), Rikki Barnes (3rd Nomad), and Julia Winters (Jack Monroe's ward). No reason for him not to be in the game.
3. U.S. Agent: John Walker/Jack Daniels (bourbon much, Marvel?). The last 5 pictures on the first row are the 5 main versions of the US Agent (from left to right): Classic black/red/white shield, eagle shield, 'Maximum Security' (looks like Judge Dredd), 'Force Works'. Before John became the US Agent he was Super-Patriot and even Capt. America. John got his Cap-esque poers from Power Broker, Inc.
4. Jack Flag: Jack Harrison got his Cap-esque powers during a fight with Mr. Hyde when chemicals spilled on him. He's currently on the Guardians of the Galaxy.
5. Patriot: The middle two pictures on the 2nd row are versions of Patriot. The nephew of Josiah X and grandson of the Black Captain America- Isaiah Bradley, Elijah had no powers of his own. He got juiced by using MGH (mutant growth hormone) and lied about it saying he got his powers from a blood-transfusion from his grandpa. Ironically, he later did get a transfusion from Isaiah making his super-soldier powers permament. I love the triangular shield and his throwing stars.
6. Citizen V: There have been 6 Citizen V's. The first two unis looked like a mix of the boy scouts and UPS. The third is when the V-Batallion started using the look we see today. The version I'd want is Helmut Zemo, the 13th Baron. That way we could get a mission and a playable Citizen V- with SWORDS!
7. Josiah X: This super soldier was born from a surrogate using an embryo formed from Isaiah Bradley and his wife. He became a Muslim in Africa and changed his surname. He uses the triangular shield also.
8. Justice: The middle two pics of the bottom row are versions of Justice. The left is Earth-616's Vance Astrovik who took the name Justice while in prison for killing his father. Before that, he was 5th Marvel Boy. The right is Earth-691's Vance Astro. This Guardian of the Galaxy member also goes by Major Victory. These two parallel heroes have met, in fact in one of marvel's most interesting paradoxes, Astro convinced 616 Astrovik to not become an astronaut, thus altering 616's Justice's life. Justice is a telekinetic and on again/off again boyfriend of Firestar. Astro is a psychokinetic.
9. Ms. America: America Chavez comes from a separate Earth-paradise dimension. That dimension was created by Demiurge, the biosphere counterpart to Gaia (Earth goddess). America has super-strength and durability and can fly.

Patriot's List: Part 2 of 4
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/HFnaNr7.jpg[/IMG]
10. Blue Eagle/American Eagle: James Dore Jr. (left)/James Dore Sr. (right). This father son duo of Earth-712 were equipped with flight suits. Junior, who also went by Cap'n Hawk, Condor, and American Eagle was also known for using ancient melee weapons. Both were equipped with a triangular shield.
11. Battlestar: Lemar Hoskins (three versions shown). Lemar was also the fifth 'Bucky', this led to some protest by Marvel readers and civil rights activists since "Buck" is a slave term/racial slur. Marvel dealt with that in the comic having an elderly African-American explain it to Lemar. The writer claimed ignorance. Then the writer had Battlestar lynched by Red Skrull- I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP! Battlestar survived because he was a super-soldier made by Karl Malus/Power Broker, Inc. Battlestar also carries a triangular shield and is part of the Bold Urban Commandoes (BUC-kies).
12. Captain America-Age of X: I just like Steve Rogers glowing shield. Although the story of the Avengers as mutant hunters is worth a read.
13. American Eagle: Jason Strongbow is a Navajo who was mutated by exposure to radiation. Earlier versions had him headdress and buckskin boots and running everywhere he went (he does have superspeed @65mph). Now he rides a motorcycle, were's a leather coat, and an eaglehead-shaped helmet. Both versions have him using a crossbow with special bolts.
14. Major Victory: This is Vance Astro out of his adamantium suit. He still has the psychokinetic powers and Capt. Americ'a shield AND a cheesey headband!
15. Miss America: Madeline Joyce has been around since the 40s. She's married to The Whizzer. Madeline got her powers of flight and strength from a lightning strike. She also temporarily had X-Ray vision, but her eyesight has gotten worse and she wore glasses in later books.
16. Patriot: Jeffrey "Jeff" Solomon Mace was a reporter who was inspired by Captain America, so he trained hard and joined the Liberty Legion. He was also the 3rd Captain America after the 2nd Captain, William Naslund died.
17. The Captain: Steve Rogers. While John Walker took over as Capt. America, Steve hung up his Nomad uniform and donned this new one and called himself "The Captain". What differs from the US Agent outfit is the shield.
18. Spirit of '76: William Naslund had no superpowers and a steel shield. He was the 2nd Capt. America and was killed by a robot. I still like the outfit.
19. American Son: Gabriel Stacy (he was also the Grey Goblin), son of Gwen Stacy & Norman Osborn, donned this Iron-Man copied suit from the "Dark Reign" book.
20. Yeoman America: Steve Rogers in his Earth-398 outfit (Morgan Le Fay's medieval Earth formed through her reality distortion wave). It's pretty sweet!

Patriot's List: 3 of 4
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/JNFWXRH.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/oYBkvGz.jpg[/IMG]
21. Earth X Captain America: Steve Rogers (first two pics of the first row). The first shows Steve with flag-draped uniform and the "A" carved into his forehead. The second is the Avenging Host uniform complete with wings. Both of these from Earth-9997 are beautiful.
22. Free Spirit: Cathy Webster was trained by Captain America after she got her super-soldier powers from mutagenic radiation.
23. Super-Patriot: Before he became Captain America and US Agent, John Walker was Super-Patriot. He also got his super-soldier powers from the Power Broker.
24. Colonel America: Steve Rogers. First pic on the second row. Earth-26111 or Age of Ultron version. Older, but not a zombie (stay tuned) and with an eye patch over left eye.
25. Colonel America: Trenton Craft. What happens when the super-soldier program focuses on the mind and not the body? You get a telekinetic hero who has problems controlling his power. Awesome uni, though.
26. Miss Patriot: Mary Morgan used the super-soldier serum, too. She's been around since the 40s and she works at the Daily Bugle.
27. "Union Man" Captain America: Earth-717's Steve Rogers. He fights Bucky (White Skull) who is the leader of the KKK.
28. Yankee Clipper: Patrick Carney got his super-strength powers from a belt made by Cassandra Locke. She used it for time-traveling and went back in time to tell Patrick about a future Skrull invasion. Patrick took this info and formed a superhero team called "First Line" that also included Kid/Mister Justice and Liberty Girl. I wonder if those two made my list...
29. American Panther: This is not any Wakandan. It's an American cop (NYC) who actually a xenophobe/racist. I hope Marvel does something else with this character because he looks amazing.
30. Captain America 2099: A Steve Rogers clone wearing a short-sleeved, American Flag trench coat. He became President and was killed by Doom's nanotech robots.
31. Charlie-27: A 555 lb 6 foot engineered human from Jupiter, Charlie-27 is a current member of GOTG.
32. Blue Eagle: This gun-toting, flying Liberteen is the third hero to use this moniker.
33. Killraven: This version of Jonathan Raven would be Earth-9930. He has Cap's shield and is a member of The Avengers. He also uses a sword and throwing stars as well as riding a mutant-serpent horse.
34. Revolutionary: The leader of the Liberteens (Pennsylvania's Iniative team) is a swordman. He was captured and mostly a Skrull throughout the event.
35. Miss America: That's right, Marvel currently has two Miss Americas.

Patriot's List: Part 4 of 4
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/19t0Jbn.jpg[/IMG]
36. Phantom Eagle: Karl Kaufman was a WWI fighter pilot and a member of the Freedom's Five. I wonder since Lola is coming if we start to see more vehicles in SHSO. How great would a vehicle mission be?
37. Nuke: Frank Simpson got his enhanced powers from the Weapons Plus program like Capt. America, Isaiah Bradley, and Wolverine. Frank was psychologically manipulated by Wolverine while his body was recieving underskin armor and addictive drugs. The result of Weapon VII (Project: Homegrown) was a crazed super-soldier addicted to pills (Jason Bourne, anyone?). The American flag tattoo on Nuke's face followed the lines that Logan carved into him during conditioning.
38. Captain America-X: An un-named mutant who got the super-soldier serum in Earth-1298. This Cap-X could generate psionic blasts and shields. Very cool.
39. Nomad: Dimension Z's (Arnim Zola's world) version of Nomad. He started as Leopold Zola, and when his father tried to have him killed, Steve Rogers rescued him and renamed him Ian Rogers. His shield has jagged spikes around the circumference.
40. Liberty Girl: Beverly is a member of First Line. That's about it.
41. Colonial Captain America: Steven (not Steve) Rogers is Earth-616's Revolutionary War's Captain. Marvel story lines have both suggested that he is and is not an ancestor of the most famous Capt. Steve Rogers. He uses an iron shield.
42. All-American: Giovanni "Jack" Magniconte was a football star (Mr. Magnificent) who was one of the people effected by Marvel's "White Event". Jack then formed a superhero-for-hire team called Kickers, Inc and later joined the military . He's now found in Marvel's Starblast series.
43. Holly-Ann Ember: Not much is known about this teleporting, Wyoming mutant.
44. Mister Justice: Tim Carney is the Yankee Clipper's brother. He was also a member of First Line.
45. Rojhaz: Earth-311's Steve Rogers who was transported back in time to 1602 by the Purple Man. He goes native and often sports American Flag war paint.
46. Captain Americat: Steve Mouser. He's Marvel's Tails version of Cap.Spider-Ham needs some friends.
47. Liegeman: John Walker (Super-Patriot, Capt. America, US Agent) on Earth-398's/Morgan La Fey world. Not as cool as Yeoman America, but still cool.
48. Captain Terror: Dan Kane. Friends with the original Cap, Dan is now known for being Smasher's (Isabelle "Izzy" Kane) grandpa.
49. Right-Winger: Jerome Johnson. Jerome started as a member of the B.U.C.s ("Buckies") and was dejected when his friend John Walker & Lemar Hoskins left the group to become the new Cap & Bucky. Right-Winger carries a flaming sabre and got his super-soldier powers from the Power Broker.
50. Left-Winger: Hector Lennox. Same blurb as Right-Winger.
51. Captain America: Steve Rogers of the Monkeyverse. Earth-8101.
52. Colonel America: Earth-2149's Steven Rogers. He's a zombie and currently missing the top of his head.
53. US Archer: Ulysses Solomon Archer is a tough truck driver. There was a huge truck-driver phenomena brought on by the song/movie "Convoy". Archer was Marvel's response.
54. Bucky: Earth-2149's Bucky. Apes are great!
Maybe I should have suggested a couple of beers and a bathroom break, it WAS REALLY LONG. Hope you enjoyed it!

Top 10 or so Earth Day Characters
Happy Earth Day! Here's a Top 10 +6 list of earth manipulators, seismic characters, and rock-types. Enjoy!
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QIWIR6n.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/L0yBSc0.jpg[/IMG]
1. Sandman: William Baker/Flint Marko. You all know who he is. I'd like to see a desert mission or an island mission (Muir, Madripoor, or Genosha) filled with sand piles and fighting Sandman a few times (like Malekith in the Malekith missions). Having Sandman change his arm/hands into mallets, maces, giant hands, and sandtorms would be obvious attacks.
2. Gorgon: An often recurring character in my lists, this Inhuman should have the a continued ground stomp (like Giant Man), a giant double stomp (like Sasquatch), and a bull rush as part of his PUs/HU.
3. Crystal: Being able to control earth, wind, fire, and water (4 abilities = 4 PUs/HU), this Inhuman should be a no-brainer.
4. Rictor: SHSO could use a true seismic hero, but I wonder if his sexuality will keep him out of a kids' game. It would be interesting if Gaz does include him and Shatterstar what kind of Voice Interactions they would give him or if they would use one of the emote thought bubbles with those two.
5. Korg: I would LOVE if SHSO gave us "Planet Hulk"-anything (besides Glad Hulk). This Kronan is my favorite silica-based character. I'd love to see what Gaz would come up with in Voice Interactions with Thor.
6. Dust: She has the same powers as Sandman, but she wears an abaya/niqab. Will this outfit keep Dust out of the game?
7. Avalanche: Outside the books, most of us know Dominikos Ioannis Petrakis from the the two main X-Men cartoons. Avalanche is a seismic villain and member of The Botherhood and Freedom Force.
8. Grey Gargoyle: I want Paul Pierre Duval's mission to have many statues coming alive throughout the missions. This also gives Gaz the opportunity to have a new "stone" potion.
9. Quake: Daisy is a SHIELD member, daughter of Mr. Hyde, and a seismic hero. She'd be perfect for SHSO.
10. Petra: This short-lived, earth manipulator was killed by a volcano monster. Marvel & Gaz should bring her back to life.
11. Rockslide: Santo Vacarro has his standard granite form but recently has been able to go into a limbo-molten form that also allows him to explode (and come back together, of course). How fun would that HU be?!
12. Quicksand: Quicksand has the powers of Sandman, and is another super-villain gets imprisoned and then turns good character.
13. Charcoal: Charlie Burlingame was villain/hero created in a reader contest. He could change his body into any carbon form (including diamond) including controlling fire. He was killed off because Marvel failed to garner correct licenses from the winner of the contest, proving once again that Marvel's lawyers before the Disney acquisition were HORRIBLE. We'll probably never see Charcoal in any media again. Too bad.
14. Magma: Who doesn't want to shoot lava at baddies? How easy would it be for Gaz to create this fire/earth manipulator?
15. Piedra Dura: A member of 'The Children of the Vault', her name literally means 'Rock Hard'. Interesting storyline based on genetic drift, meaning that the members of CotV are not human nor mutant, BUT are earthlings.
16. Rockman: Daniel Rose has been around since the 40s. I want him to have Moleman like digging powers and attacks. Wouldn't that be great for your hero to be able to dig underground (and take no damage) and dig out with an attack?
Earth Day, hmmm...do something dirt-y today!

St. George's Day- England Part I
Happy St. George's Day! It's also close to the Queen's B-Day, so this one's for you Queen Victoria! Say "Hi!" to Kate for me...better yet say "Hi!" to her sister, Pippa. This is Part I of a compendium of Marvel Characters from England.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VwQEfoM.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/68zkzih.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/vDltqkP.jpg[/IMG]
1. Sir James Braddock: Along with Merlyn & Roma (Merlyn's daughter), Sir James founded the Capt. Britain Corps. He was the first Captain Britain of note and is father to Brian, James Jr. AKA 'Jamie', and Betsy.
The next seven pics are versions of Brian Braddock (most Corps. men are just different versions- from different dimensions- of Brian.
2. Captain Britain: Brian's most famous uniform with the "X" on the torso. Brian use to have to have the Amulet of Right around his neck and carry the Star Sceptre, Merlyn combined those two items into this suit so he no longer needs them. Later he wouldn't even need the suit due to his body being able to absorb all the dimensional waves. Brian has super-soldier powers, the ability to fly, ans ESP.
3. Captain Britain: Brian's "Five-Point" uniform. He often goes without his mask while in this version.
4. Captain Britain: My favorite version. This red-suit with golden lion, the Amulet of Right, and the Star Sceptre is often called (some say miscalled) the Britannic-version. When Brian was called Britannic he wore the uni in the smaller, bottom-left pic.
5. Captain Britain: My least favorite Brian-version. Meggan destroyed The Otherworld's energy matrix (were Capt. Britain gets his powers in the multiverse), he had to go back to better-looking unis because they were able to amplify (by acting as an antennae).
6. King of the Otherworld: Brian wearing his father's old uniform style. The blazing English flag on his face was marked when Brian wields Excalibur.
7. Crusader X: Mace-wielding version of Brian called Bran Bardic.
8. Crusader X: Another popular uniform of Bran Bardic.
9. Captain Britain: I adore the multi-colored hair version of Betsy. Betsy (Psylocke) is the twin of Brian.
10. Captain Britain: James Jr. "Jamie" Braddock is the oldest son of Sir James. In this version he has the powers of Capt. Britain. In almost every other dimension he is a schizophrenic villain who is usually wearing a white banana hammock. It's creepy.
11. Kid Briton: Brian Bardic of Earth-13022. Would love an Arcade mission.
12. Albion: Brian Braddock usually choses the Amulet of Right from Merlyn in in most of the dimensions. This version of Brian choses the second choice, the Sword of Might. Earth-70518.
13. Albion: Peter Hunter has the Pendragon (spirit) of Herne the Hunter. He can fly and shoot fire from his hands.
14. Captain Albion: Katherine Huggin is the Capt. 'Britain' (Albion is old English for England) of Earth-523.
15. Lionheart: My all-time favorite costume design from Marvel. Kelsey Leigh Kirkland was given the Capt. Britain title for a while after she defended Capt. America as a normal human. Captain America was down from an attack from Thunderball (of the Wrecking Crew) and Kelsey took Cap's shield to protect him from another of Thunderball's attacks. Kelsey died in the attack and was resurrected by Brian (King of the Otherworld) & his wife, Meggan. Kelsey chose the Sword of Might.
16. Union Jack: This is the Lord James Montegomery Falsworth model. He started with the Team Freedom's Five. He always has a long knife and his Webley revolver.
17. Union Jack: This version could be either of the next two Union Jack's. Brian Falsworth (II- before he became union Jack, Brian was the 2nd "Destroyer"- which is what most people believe to be Stan Lee's FIRST character) was enhanced with the super-soldier serum while Joseph "Joey" Chapman (III) got his powers from the Pendragon. It use to be if Union Jack had this uniform and a Webley revolver it was Brian and any other gun would make him Joey. Joey now also uses a Webley.
18. Captain England: Captain Britain of Earth-522. Don't we need more chest hair in SHSO?
19. Justicer 'Cassndra' Bull: Captain Britain of Earth-23238, Cassadra (and the rest of the Justicers) look and story were inspired by Judge Dredd. Her job was to track down mutants and other superpowered beings.
20-23. Captain U.K.: The four pics are versions of Linda McQuillan, AKA Captain U.K., from Earth-238, Earth-839, Earth-616, and Earth-794. She's actually stronger than Brian.
24. Captain Britain: Modred the Mystic put down the Darkhold (book of evil magic) took over Brian's outfit for a while.
25. Caledonia: Alysande "Sandy" Stuart is a Scottish Capt. Britain who chose the Sword of Might and often works with the FF.
26. William Destine: A member of the ClanDestine superpowered family, William is also an actor who played Captain Oz (Cap'N Oz). His uniform is based loosely on the Australian flag and influenced the Captain Australia character in the best SHS episode "O Captain, My Captain!" Isn't it AMAZING how it all intertwines?!
Stay tuned for more, True Believers!

Alphabet Top 10 or so "K" Characters: Part 1
Here is my Top 10 +11 "K" list. That's like a buy one, get one top 10 list free. But you ain't paying anything, so it's like a read one, read one doubley free, you cheap literate! But with less anger. Here you go:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ExMXKEn.jpg[/IMG]
1. Ka-Zar: I'm going to get real greedy with this one...I want Ka-Zar (with knife, spear, & bow attacks), his tiger Zabu, a Savage Land zone, and several Savage Land missions (battling dinosaurs & one with Sauron). What we have: furniture- some on sale for gold! Friggin' furniture!!! Did I mention he was in SHS?
2. Kang the Conquerer: I would like a time traveling mission fighting Kang on his ship. Imagine a first level Ancient Greece/Rome battle (which they could reuse for some Hercules/Eternals missions), a second level Old West theme (then I could get some cowboy heroes), and a boss level on Kang's ship. Feel free to use any of my SHSO suggestions, Gaz.
3. Korg: He was on SHS. Gaz couldn't go wrong giving us a Planet Hulk theme. I know Skaar has been spotted in the code.
4. Kraven the Hunter: SHSO needs some Jungle love, and I'm not talking about the Steve Miller Band's song. Sergei should have knife, spear, and net attacks.
5. Kid Cassidy: I want the Gunhawk version were Cassidy was NOT the leader of the KKK's Nightriders. I really want to see Old West missions and guys riding horses around the quicksilver hotspots.
6. Kid Colt: I'm sure there are many of us 30-40 year old, comic fans that got their starts reading their father's old-West comics from Atlas & Marvel. The biggest star was Kid Colt. He was one of Marvel's biggest names for almost 4 decades (they've brought him back in several comics in the last decade). I'd love to ride Steel (his horse) in missions or on the hotspots. Now, there is a Kid Colt who is a Kymellian (reverse-Centaur).
7. Kaine: I posted his three main costumes. I'm not much of a Spidey fan but I do enjoy all of the cloning arcs from that character. I'd love to leave the "mark of Kaine" with a PU or HU.
8. Komodo: Marvel's second Komodo, Melati Kusuma, lost her legs in a driving accident and modified Dr. Connors serum for herself. She'd fight like Reptil, but I'd love to see an emote were she loses a leg, arm, or tail and grows it back.
9. Karnak: I've been getting more Inhuman comics because my nephew was introduced to Black Bolt via the Lego Marvel game (he walks around screaming like the hero in the game to scare people- he use to walk around doing the Malfoy jeer from Lego Harry Potter). Karnak is interesting because he has superhuman techniques and equipment although he was never exposed to the terragin mists. I would love to see his angular martial arts in SHSO.
10. Killraven: Almost retconned as Franklin Richard's son, Jonathan Raven was created for a "What If?"- style of comic with the background of HG Wells "War of the Worlds" aliens. The aliens came back in 2001. Killraven is a master of shurikens and swords.
11. Kangaroo: Brian Hibbs (large picture) and Frank Oliver (small pic) both used that moniker. I think I'd prefer the newer version (which is VERY un-like me to the point were I HAD to put in Frank's picture) because the suit has Iron Man-like weaponry. Who doesn't want an Australian accent in the game.
12. Kick-Ass: I don't know would preclude Dave Lizeski first, his name or that he is part of Icon publishing (Icon is part- an imprint- of the Marvel family). I'm looking forward to the day were the imprints and Marvel characters play nice with each other.

Alphabet Top 10 or so "K" Characters: Part 2
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/sMFi5Cs.jpg[/IMG]
13. Kurse: I think I may just want all the Power Pack kids to fight him in a mission. But I'd also want to use him to fight Malekith...darn this lava induced amnesia.
14. Killer Shrike: Simon Maddicks is another of Marvel's 'whipping boys' who gets beat up by many heroes and villains alike to keep the continuity flowing between storylines. He shouldn't even warrant a full-size mission...but, I'd love to see Gaz have cameo bank robber/mayhem mission.
15. Kylun: Kylun wields the Blades of Zz'ria. I'm looking forward to the day when we get some Excalibur love in SHSO.
16. Kimura: The best part of Kimura is that if we ever get her it means that we have X-23. She is to X-23 what Sabretooth is to Wolverine.
17. Korvac: The Korvac saga is an amazing series of books. It would be interesting to have this OP cosmic hero in the game.
18. Korvus: This Starjammer gets most of his power throught the Blade of the Phoenix. He became a Starjammer after Corsair (Cyclop & Havok's dad) was killed by his third son, Vulcan.
19. Krystalin: Ruth Kristen Porter Ogada is a Marvel 2099 X-Man who can contruct whatever she wants by pulling crystals out of the air. She usually makes a bo staff and different shields/armor.
20. Kismet: AKA Paragon, Kismet is the "Her" to Adam Warlock's "Him". She was created by the Enclave at The Beehive. She was born a man changing into female after her first cocoon rest. She has the same cosmic powers of Adam Warlock.
21. Kamikaze: New Mutants Vol 1 #100 is often known for being the first X-Force book. In actuality the first reference of X-Force is in New Mutants Vol 1 #93, this is an important book because it also is the first-time meeting of Wolverine and Cable. A sidenote to #93 is a character named Kamikaze who can fly and blow himself up. *Yes, I'm THAT big of an X-Force nerd.
That's 21 K's...1 more than Roger Clemens and Kerry Woods. Enjoy!

Alphabet Top 10 or so "L"-list
I wasn't going to post this, today...but, with the overhaul of the system, I decided that we need to 'over-post' until we get the continuity back into our SHSO threads. So here is my list of "L" characters:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/zIwgosu.jpg[/IMG]
1. [b]Lightspeed[/b]: I'm continually shocked that the Power Pack never had a cartoon about them. A group of kids who got their powers from a Kymellian (reverse-Centaur) that travel around on a ship called Friday and can access a mythical land called "Elsewhere" that has dinosaurs and crazy buildings SCREAMS syndication and a few movies. I want Julie Powers to have a rainbow trail, health regeneration and I want some Elsewhere missions. I also want the Power Pack to be 'kid-sized'. I think they'd be HUGELY popular.
2. [b]Lionheart[/b]: If you read my previous lists you know that this is my all-time favorite Marvel uniform. Having Kelsey with that Sword of Might producing blasts and shields would be amazing. I hope we get an Excalibur theme someday.
3. [b]Longshot[/b]: Longshot should have a jetpack, cleavers, spike-net, and energy gun combo attacks or PUs/HU. He should also have a mullet. If you wanted to get greedy, you could ask for some Mojo missions.
4. [b]Lockjaw[/b]: I'd want him playable, but I would gladly accept him as a pet. If we get him that means an Inhuman theme or a fun Pet Avenger theme (with Throg?!). If Lockjaw is playable, I want him to swallow baddies for a PU. He should be as tall as the standard hero and have special interactions with the fire hydrants.
5. [b]Leader[/b]: He's been spotted in the code. I hope we get some new giant robots in a Leader mission(s) to go along with telekinetic attacks.
6. [b]Lady Deathstrike[/b]: Yuriko would make an excellent female villain mission, we only have Enchantress and Mystique. Along with her 'claws' she should have sword attacks. Gaz could give us the human or cyborg form. We need more X-Men stuff!
7. [b]Living Laser[/b]: I love all three of Arthur Parks main uniforms. A laser-shooting and hologram-producing villain would be fun to fight against and as.
8. [b]Lifeguard[/b]: Heather Cameron has similar powers to Darwin, being able to change her body to what is needed. Lately (before her death) she has been trapped in her Shi'ar gold skin 'bird' form. I want her to be able to change into different animals and have a team defense boost.
9. [b]Living Lightning[/b]: SHSO needs a pure electrical hero or villain (I'm talking about Elektro, Gaz!). I love Storm's and Thor's attacks. Will Miguel's sexuality keep him from SHSO?
10. [b]Living Mummy[/b]: I think we'll probably get Man-Thing this Halloween, it would be nice to see a Halloween theme with Man-Thing, Living Mummy, either Liliths (neither made my "L"-list), or Jack-O'lantern. I really want a spooky, foggy town with a cemetery & abandoned church or abandoned theme park mission. Think Scooby-Doo, Gaz!
11. [b]Legion[/b]: Omega-level mutant's vast powers makes it difficult to choose attacks. Legion's high-top hair and reality warping would make for fun missions and as a playable. Would love to hear the Voice Interactions (VIs or voice-relationships) with him and Dr. Nemesis (where is our X-Force, Gaz?!!!). I also want to see some Muir Island content.
12. [b]Lyja[/b]: Who doesn't want a playable female, shape-shifting Skrull in SHSO? How great would a Fantastic Five Lyja (as Ms. Fantastic) be?
I hope you enjoyed it!

Top # Character I want in SHSO (NOT IN ORDER)
My first list! YAY!
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4LRS2i7.png[/IMG]
#1 - Scorpion: This was one of my favorite Spider-Man villains since I was a kid. I could honestly see some good combos with his tail. His P1 could be shooting acid out of his tail. His HU could even be him donning the Venom symbiote for a while, boosting Armor, Damage, and Speed.
#2 - Spyke: The only X-Man that NEVER was in the comics, Spyke can generate, well, spikes and fire them at enemies. His P1 could be the flaming spike shown in the picture and his HU could be him drinking a soda can and gaining the armor also in the picture (The same way his mutation accelerated in one of the episodes)
#3 - HERBIE: Honestly, who DOESN't want HERBIE in the game? He was even in the show, for Pete's sake! I could see him being both a sidekick AND hero. Maybe firing lasers or doing combos with his arms or whatever! Plus he's so cute for a possibly deadly robot!
#4 - Tinkerer: OK, this is one of the few obscure one's on this list. The Tinkerer was first in The Amazing Spider-Man #2 and was actually a really good villain. Even if he did at first seem to be an alien. He could use his technology, like Scorpion's tail (he made it) and Mysterio's suit (made that too) as well as his many guns (like the one in the picture) to battle enemies.
#5 - Agent Jay: You might be saying now, "But Key, MIB isn't Marvel, it's a movie and TV series." Well actually, it was first made by Marvel Comics. Think about it, Will Smith as Agent Jay beating up Super-Skrull. All the guns and even the gravity defying car that could maybe use Ghost Riders hotspots and the flying ones too. Heck, Gaz maybe could even do a MIB Month with Agent Jay and Agent Kay!
#6 - Anti-Venom: He's in the code, he is amazing, he was in Spider-Man: Edge of Time, there is NO reason he shouldn't be in the game. I'd buy him EVEN if he was a costume swap of Venom.
#7 - Arcade: As a villain, his stage could be filled with evil clowns and robotic seals! As a hero, well, he could use...his stuff from Murderworld? The only reason he wouldn't be in is maybe because of Murderworld though.
#8 - X-23: OK, she is amazing. I mean, even though she's a clone of Wolverine (literally), she could have a P1 using her foot claws and her two-clawed hands. Her P2 could be her Trigger Scent, and her P3 could be a frenzy attack. She might have to have a different set of clothes for SHSO, oh, and maybe not bring up a certain part of her past...
#9 - Skarr: He's in the code already but I am still putting him on this list, same as A-Bomb below.
#10 - Bullseye/Dark Hawkeye: Well, he could use his cards or anything that he can throw like his darts or bombs. Dark Hawkeye could be an alt costume for him.
#11 - Carnage: "But he's on the Do Not Use list!" I don't care, he is awesome and really should be in this game! He could be like a mix of Venom and Wolverine with his attacks! Next...
#12 - Vulture: Another great Spider-Man villain. He could use magnetic attacks (from his first set of wings) or attacks like Falcon.
#13 - Leader: Gamma weaponry, anybody?
#14 - Gargoyle: The first Gargoyle was Hulk's first enemy, and he was actually not too bad. His imagining as the Leader's assistant made me think of hoping he was in SHSO. He could use guns that slow down enemies, even mind control them for his P3 maybe.
#15 - A-Bomb: Same as Skarr, nuff said
#16 - J Jonah Jameson: At least have him as an NPC! Heck, maybe it could be if you do a mission for him, he gives you the mission and/or gives you a full crafting part of the player's choice!
#17 - Hobgoblin: A recolor of Green Goblin that I would LOVE to buy.
#18 - Phil Coulson: Agents of SHIELD and Ultimate Spider-Man really popularized him. He would be amazing AND he's in the code!
#19 - Stan FREAKING Lee: Oh what? He can't be used in the game? Why not? He would be amazing! He could change into different characters, he could web swing, double jump or super jump, use all hotspots, etc. etc. He would be the ONLY single character worth buying for more than 900 Gold.
#20 - YOU! (sorry, I forgot the mirror): Think about it! Customized character styles, attacks, and abilities!
Well, next, I and CenturianSpy will hopefully be doing a duel Top 10 Most wanted. Stick around for my next solo list of Top 10 Symbiotes!
