A Marvel Minor Leaguer You'd Like To See Get A Mini-Series

[DrNewGod]

Marvel has absolutely rivers of characters in its portfolio. Some are greats, some have been scenery, but some of the supporting players are really cool, and could use some spotlight. Who would you like to see get a mini-series of their own to see if they got the chops?

I vote Lemar (Battlestar) Hoskins. I'd probably vote for seeing him take up the Nomad name, but everything I've seen of him suggests that he is an underappreciated gem. Best part is, even though his power set is relatively generic, it also allows him to be plugged into a whole lot of different stories.

I'd read that.


I remember a while back they gave foolkiller and Black Knight and someone else their own book, and there felt like there were sooo many people complaining. It just felt obnoxious.

So I really don't know anymore.

Vance Astro/Firestar. I'd like a book where something happens and he become "Major Victory" despite all his efforts not to.

I can think of a few others... I guess I'm wondering also where's the line for the minor league?

Just no one appearing on any rosters?

That Foolkiller comics was SO good.

I've liked Paladin a lot since Heroes/Villains for Hire, but I understand why he's not more popular. His skillset isn't interesting, visually he looks like just another blond hero in comics. The most noticeable thing about him is how ugly his costume is. Still, I'd love to see Marvel find a new role/place for him. I've always thought there are SO many mercenaries and assassins in comic books, but not enough stories about body guards, and maybe he would fit that niche.

I'm a big fan of Reptil, I'd love to see another mini with a more mature and experience post-arena Reptil.

Werewolf by Night has kind of been made into a joke. I'd be into building up and exploring a werewolf corner of the MCU.

Considering he might be appearing in the upcoming Falcon and the Winter Soldier series on Disney+, a comic miniseries could be just the thing to get people interested and invested in his character.

My pick? Night Thrasher. Reestablish his place in the Marvel Universe, rebuild the New Warriors, and preferably be written by Al Ewing, who brought him back in the first place.

Meggan Braddock, Romani Brit, Magic metamorph, Ruler of Otherworld, headmistress of Braddock Academy, Queen of Hell, mother, wife, friend.

Gimme a warm little cozy English comedy mini series.

Yeah, now that Luke and Danny have gone big-time, I kind of see characters like Paladin as a logical inheritor of the Heroes for Hire mantle, with Misty as the coordinator for that group (which would include some other street level characters like the White Tiger ladies).

One of my favorites from the Avengers Academy kids, although I'd also like to see more of what Finesse and Striker are up to.

From the Initiative era, Komodo (guest-starring on-again, off-again boyfriend, Hardball) is another I'd like to see more of in an ongoing.

Read the recent Unstoppable Wasp series to see what Finesse is up to.

I’d like something done with Anza Corazon for once.

Have Rachel Leighton/Diamondback (latest seen in Domino's last pre-HoxPoxDox solo) reassemble her Serpent girl friends as B.A.D. Girls Inc.?

Ooh, that'd be cool. Some of the older Serpent Society ladies are a bit cold-blooded (Black Mamba and Anaconda come to mind as perhaps a little too 'villainy' to make 'bad girls you like to root for') but others like Asp, in particular, but also Black Racer and Fer de Lance, could make for fun partners to Diamondback.

She could perhaps reconnect with the Constrictor, as well, after their bad timing 'breakup' in Civil War/the Initiative.

Agreed. In fact, I'd love it if the Modern Age version of Young Allies were given another chance:

Isn't Constrictor dead? He fell sick at the start of the post-Secret Wars ANAD period, forcing Rachel to rejoin Serpent (Solutions) to make money for his treatment, only for him to die anyway. With nothing left she agrees to betray Falcon-Cap to the SS, only to change her mind when new!Falcon (what happened to him later?) came to the "rescue," forcing her to turn once more. She left after the battle and did not make any appearances until Domino. That's it.

Agreed. In fact, I'd love it if the Modern Age version of Young Allies were given another chance:

Not a chance for Firestar now. She's a loyal Krakoan and everything as of X-Force #2.

Nomad's out too - Rikki showed up in Future Foundation, and it was revealed she wakes up in a new universe every time she dies. Took her years to get back to 616 - and she got put out into space without a spacesuit at the end of issue 4, so that's her gone again for a while. If Young Allies ever came back, it'd need an updated roster. I don't think it will though - they already can't support Young Avengers and New Warriors at the same time (neither of them lasted long last time), and Champions has been introduced since those two teams last had a book. The other three are far more likely to come back than Young Allies is. It got cancelled after only one arc and Gravity and Toro vanished after that.

However, they should use Anya somewhere. Ridiculous that she didn't get anything in the last three years, save for Spider-Geddon, when she's a regular on the cartoon.
