Ha ha Doctor Bong! Well they certainly aren't afraid to dredge the depths of Marvel that's for sure. So time to re-visit who else we "need" in the game!

    It is possible I have done morD a dis-service - he might actually be quite dangerous but as nobody understands his powers including himself and his creators it is a bit hard to judge.

    Is Discus possibly the most delusional of this bunch?

    Here he is picking a fight with Luke Cage - a superhero quite famous for having very discus proof skin.

    I genuinely think Turner D Century is just having a good time

    He's got his date who is a mannequin and he is taking her for a trip on his flying bike, it is all perfectly normal. It is just a shame he is completely fruitbat la la.

    Ringer

    I don't think much more can really go wrong if you are about to debut your amazing new power of "rings all the time" and then an angry Green monster comes crashing through the wall. I assume Hulk dealt with Ringer the same way he dealt with The Roller Disco Devils from this Hostess Fruit Pie ad:

    The rest of 'em...eh...perfection!

    I always forget The Wall but he might be over qualified here!

    I am going to continue leaning into being the “We need Forearm” guy until somebody goofier comes to mind…

    Look! He even got an action figure!

    While trying to figure out if the Zodiac from decades ago would be obscure enough...

    I discovered there's a more modern version...

    Which probably means they're not Z list enough for this poll... Which feels very odd to me.

    Leap-Frog (Original)

    I’m all for bringing Leap-Frog to MPQ as a 5/3. The 5 could be the original from the comics and the 3 could be the one from the She-Hulk show. It’d be perfect and have the 3* feed Throg.

    Lady Stilt Man

    Gotta be Lady Stilt-Man. Proving once and for all that Stilt-Men can be ladies too.

    Lady Stilt Man

    He’s more of a D-lister but: THE ORB

    My problem with Forearm is that he is a rip off of Barbarous of the Savage Land Mutates just with a funnier name. But he is fairly ridiculous.

    The Zodiac are mostly just people wearing stupid costumes which makes them a cos-play troop. I mean as far as I know Pisces doesn't have any actual fish powers, he just dresses like one on the weekend. I am also very suss about Virgo...

    So...are they just a bunch of friends hanging out together at Comic con or are they actually deranged criminals? I think Scorpio might be the only one who actually enjoys committing crime but there are 12 of them which is 11 more people than you need to take out Humbug. So I guess maybe they are too good for this list?

    Oh man The Orb is wiping the floor with everybody here apart from possibly Lady Stilt Man!

    Toybiz would make any figure at that point I feel. Which I was okay with. Forearm has my vote. Need more Liefeld.

    He definitely was, very very similar…but hey…I thought I had seen Youngblood somewhere before…sometimes you just need to be the most memorable iteration. Honestly I would like Amphibious, Zaladane, Kazar, and Sauron.

    Sorry; I did most of my comics reading during the “bad old” 90s and really just focused on X-Force…

    Compromise? 5 star Forearm / 3 star Barbarus

    Seems reasonable if we really are going to inflict these on ourselves!

    But they do have technology... And sometimes they're LMDs... And stupid costumes can't really rule any characters out when Dr Bong is the next character in the game.

    "12 of them" has me imagining them as a single character (not to be confused with the GLA group character) where each one goes down with a single hit, replaced by whomever is next on the zodiac calendar.

    Sticking with a certain aspect of Dr. Bong…how about…

    Lady Stilt Man

    I know I'm far from the only lady stilt fan (or would that be "lady stilt stan"?) on these boards, so it delights me greatly to her pop up in the poll above. <3 I'm actually a bit shocked that she hasn't appeared in MPQ already in the past year+, moreso after the appearance of the new Electro. A double-release of 3* Stilt Man (Classic) and 5* Lady Stilt Man (Callie Ryan) seems like an absolute no-brainer to create sometime. (Keeping my fingers crossed, devs! o:) )

    Marvel may be preventing the Stilt-fam; I recall an interview with Patton Oswald and Jordan Bloom about the modok show where they said that was the only character Marvel wouldn’t let them include for some reason
