Dark Riders Appreciation Thread

[Michael Watkins]

I appreciate them. a lot of effort was put into their design(s). it's still weird to me that only half them are mutants.

1) who is the best designed Dark Rider?

2) who is your favorite?

3). what exactly are Barrage's powers? did he use to have hands (sort of a Hellion situation)?

4). Is Tusk, technically, giving birth to his minions? does that make him intersex?

5). Why didn't the Inhumans try to un-brainwash some of these folks?

6). What's holding Deadbolt together?

7). How in the world did Tyler Dayspring qualify to be their leader?

Tusk (the inhuman suriname toad)


^minions

[Michael Watkins]

Gauntlet (the Dark Riders "alpha")




irish-attilan?

[Michael Watkins]

Barrage (team diva)

[Michael Watkins]

Harddrive (Dark Rider/speculative resident radio head fan)

[Michael Watkins]

Foxbat (Inhuman or closet mutant? you be the judge)



what possible use could those things on his elbows be? does he sprout actual wings?

[Michael Watkins]

Psynapse (aka fake-Shortpack aka Iggy Pop aka Crystal's favorite cousin aka child predator?)

[Michael Watkins]

Hurricane, Deadbolt, and Lifeforce

[Michael Watkins]

Spyne (team wild card)



Dirtnap (that gross kid who no one wanted to hang out with)

I was always partial to Gauntlet. I'd love a little attempt at giving him some anti-hero Stone Cold Steve Austin juice and throwing him on an X-Force to see how it goes. (maybe I'm in the minority but I LOVED when they did this with Vanisher)

Spyne would probably be a second.

it's possible. he's notoriously hard to kill. and he's one of the only Dark Riders to operate as a solo act. i'd be for it if only to learn more about the guy. they still haven't really nailed down his powers. he just has some very hi tech guns/weaponry and a scaly hide (presumably).

I love Tusk. And all of the Dark Riders. Hoping to see them make a comeback.

[Master of Sound]

My favourites are Gauntlet, Foxbat, Spyne and Lifeforce.

I thought they were pretty cool. I liked how they always turned on each other.

[Captain Nash]

Gauntlet for the win! I thought they were mostly and interesting and well designed group, even if most of them didn't have speaking roles or do anything but provide backup force for Gauntlet. The only one I really didn't care for was Hurricane, his design was IMO lame and too redundant of things that already existed.
