    No need to debate over Beta Ray Bill, there is a flying horse in Black Knight's yellow animation.
    The corrected correction should read:

    Flying horse - check

    Well spotted, horse double check!

    I definitely missed Panther and Wolverine, check and check!

    With Yellowjacket - in the UK we don't have this terminology that I know of and a yellowjacket is just a wasp - I haven't been able to determine if there is any actual difference, hence why I didn't count!

    Who knew a throwaway joke would turn into an actual data collection project, lol!

    Since no one bothered to look at my post in Suggestions, here's the horse.

    Ember, with the mutant Calico

    The Uncanny X-Men (September 2024) Issue 1, second printing, David Marquez

    Marvel hasn't said if Ember is a mutant horse but both the rider and horse are linked. One can't be without the other. They're new, so maybe wait a few years before they flush out more of their story.

    I do not say it wasn't. But to expand that we have to say more about who should or shouldn't be considered a "animal based" in Marvel. And with that we reach a "totem" idea.

    In Marvel Universe there certain beings are totems of specific animals. That is why we can count Van Dynes and Pyms as Wasps/Ants, Sytsevish as rhino or Octavius as octopus. Cause they are totems of those animals and Inheritors can target them and feed on them. As far as I know, Bill is not a totem of horse. He's korbinite. And his "true" form is even less horse like.

    And its my opinion on that matter. Your's diverse and that is ok.

    Already covered in my Suggestions post ;)

    Don't forget to add ram and an actual sabretooth, not a man cosplaying as one.

    It's in my Suggestions post. I even added the comics for the developers to use. Toothgrinder and Toothgnasher.

    There's also a giant crab. Titano.

    Also - Hellcow fans, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen when we get to the point of debating horse when we should be mooving towards cow. But here we are and it really is my fault. I don't know how to stop this now, I am by alliance Moose, is that a sort of cow?

    You should ruminate on the consequences of your actions.

    Who knew Hellcow would be the character to lead to animal inclusion and propaganda.

    It's a regular Operation Mockingbird...

    (Jokes really aren't my thing. I'm way too serious and it just doesn't come naturally to me. But that's my attempt at a joke including both an animal and a character in the game... Explaining that likely makes it even less funny, but here we are.)

    The first joke was okay, but the parentheses joke is an incredible meta joke coming from the humor genius

    Hey whatever happened to that one guy who was super upset about MPQ featuring too many animal characters?

    Did he finally moo-ve on?

    The humor genius thing is meant to be sarcastic. The statement on parenthesis wasn't meant to be a joke, but I recognize it's been done now that you point it out.

    Not sure if you mean me, but I have been disgruntled here and there about characters I think are utterly silly when certain others aren't included.

    I also recognize not every character will be "for me" and someone else might enjoy them. No need to tip this cow just because I don't have some of my favorites in game yet.

    I do think I'm learning that expressing a negative opinion on a character based on aesthetics (animal or otherwise) or preference for something else, could ruin someone else's fun... Even if my intent is only to express an opinion it never goes well. It's a cud I no longer want to chew.

    The exception is sidewinder... I just don't like looking at him.

    Otherwise, I'm making an effort to be more positive and respect those that might be excited for characters like Hellcow.

    The art is very well done. The powers should be effective at the 2* level, at least. Some seem excited to see her. Congrats to them.

    And I would absolutely use Hellcow before oscorp Spidey, Luna snow, and certain others with power sets that annoy me.

    Oh no! I'm sorry, I'm terrible with forum names, was it you that I was thinking of? I sincerely did not mean to call you out.
