Random thoughts on the Point Men;

Devil-Slayer seems to have died, but his cloak was the source of his powers, and has been worn by others before, such as Patsy Walker, IIRC.

I like the idea of Star Sign, particularly if her powers tie into the zodiac. (Marvel lacks a good zodiac-themed character or team, since the LMD zodiac cartel ages ago went defunct.) It's Gemini ascendant, I can make a duplicate this month! Oh, and now it's Pisces, I have amphibious powers for the next thirty days! But even if it's just sense emotions and create light blasts (that can possibly cause emotional reactions, and aren't just pew pew?), that's cool too.

Magnitude was a Skrull, but everyone else who was a Skrull was an actual real person who was replaced by a Skrull, which *should* mean that there's a *real* Magnitude out there, somewhere... What where his hypothetical powers? 'Magnitude' suggests that he can amplify something 'by an order of magnitude' which is x10. Is he able to amplify the kinetic force of his punches to hit 10x as hard, his own velocity to run 10x as fast, his own voice to shout 10x as loud, his own vision to see 10x as far, his own *brain* to temporarily be 10x as smart? Could be a fun power, since it has so much versatility, limited only by the creativity of the writer. "Stand back, I'm increasing my body temperature by an order of magnitude to melt through this barrier!" (Being able to reduce things by an order of magnitude could be fun, also. "Yeah, your punches are hitting me one tenth as hard as normal Cap. It's like fighting a toddler...")

I like all of these ideas for Star Sign. I had originally just imagined her as a witch or wizardess but I like the Zodiac idea better.

Was Magnitude even seen outside of his Skrull appearance?? This is all I can find:

I don't think so, and it seemed intended that 'he' was a Skrull all along, but the other Skrulls, like the ones pretending to be Red Wolf's wolf, or Sharon Ventura, or Hank Pym, or that kid from the Liberteens, were replacing actual people, most of whom later turned up alive, so it's entirely possible that there is a 'real' Magnitude out there, hanging with his fellow forgotten Initiative peeps like Hardball, Komodo, Vox, Prima Donna, Star Sign, Paydirt, Gorilla Girl, Red Nine, Sunstreak, Armory, Telemetry, Melee, the last surviving Scarlet Spider, etc., etc.
