I wonder how many of the beggars for Omega Red will use him in his PvP events... Maybe he will take the place of Kitty? Apoc? BRB?... I guess the answer...

I can think in 100+ Marvel  characters more relevant and missed in the game before releasing him.

I highly doubt that.

You might prefer other characters, but that won't change anything about his relevance, or how much this playerbase wants to see him.

What the players want matters more than anything else, and you'll get more mileage out of telling the devs who you want than you will about complaining about who others want.

Name them.

Each character is just a bucket of game mechanics. If Omega Red comes out and is terrible, I won’t use him, and I’ll be disappointed, but it won’t be the character’s fault.

The answer is clearly herbie and all his variants.

I would imagine that Omega Red has a decent amount of exposure beyond his comic book appearance thanks to his inclusion in Marvel v Capcom 2. Marvel v Capcom 2 sold 1.4 million units world wide, even if they don't know much more about him beyond his tentacles. He was actually really annoying to fight...

100+ characters that have had greater exposure than that? Tough one. I guess that game also had Marrow (!!!)

It doesn't really help that we have no context as to what makes these 100+ characters so more viable. I don't even like Omega Red but agree he is missing from an X-men rogue gallery.

dianetics

You forgot blackheart.

But I give you double bonus points for death's head II

TheRiddler

I mean Odin is a pretty significant and well known character and we just now got him in the game.

Then you have ones like Cannonball, Banshee, Sunspot, Wonder Man, Hercules and Toad that are top 100 Marvel characters in terms of appearances. Blob was also and we just got him as well.

I get with some though that there probably is a feeling they have to be released as either a 4 or 5 star so that makes releasing them take time when you have to factor in MCU tie-ins.

Hey, look just because he once got defeated by Hawkeye shooting an arrow through him into a puddle..

I'm more amazed I got away with The Spot to be honest.

Come on now, most of those mentioned were not as important, fun, or as famous as Omega Red.
Omega Red was a top villain against Wolverine during the time Wolverine was arguably the most famous Marvel property (the early to late 90s).
Omega made it into the cartoons and videogames when nearly all those mentioned never did.
If you aren't a comic reader you would never know characters like Mole Man or Black Tom Cassidy.

I guess I could have been slightly joking here. Read some of the names on my list and you will know for sure!

ThaRoadWarrior

I was assuming Omega Red was excluded from the list, but both Omega Red and Black Tom had cameos in Deadpool 2, so I guess there's that.

dianetics

I admit many of the names are surely important in the Marvel-verse, but in importance value not even top 200?
From a fan standpoint most of the more memorable characters are spider-verse villains.
Surely Red Skull, Crossbones, Jigsaw, Toad, Shocker, Rhino, and several others are more important and deserve a spot above Omega Red.
I love characters like Death's Head II and Bushmaster, but I doubt I would ever seen them in a major market promotion opportunities. Omega Red could be recognized by the early 90s kids which is a key market demo for Marvel properties.

ThaRoadWarrior

You say that, but Bushmaster was the villain in Luke Cage Season 2! I think that's the beauty of Marvel's strategy at this point. No character too small and all that.
