    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.

    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.

    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! ;)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    And yet Batroc Ze Leaper was in a major MCU movie AND a Disney + series!
    In all seriousness - early reports had Omega Red as a potential villain in Falcon & Winter Soldier tied into Russia's Super Soldier programme and presumably Winter Soldiers past. Obviously they abandoned that but it does seem that he was on their radar at some point.

    The Spot has the single greatest real name (Johnny Ohn) since the Rainbow Raider (Roy G. Bivolo).

    Jessica jones spent all the first season fighting kilgrave, so villains are pretty expendable. 
    Beautiful intro song, by the way.

    Blackagar Boltagon sits quietly alone feeling sad.

    If Flaptain and Bucky season 2 doesn't have them teaming up with Red Guardian to fight Omega Red, I don't even know what is happening at Marvel anymore.

    Actually it depends on the hero and his/hers Rogues gallery.
    Jessica Jones spent all her first season fighting Kilgrave because she has nobody else of note to fight against. I don't remember much about Season 2 to be honest.
    Spider-Man, the FF, X-men, Avengers group of books have plenty to choose from so you can get away with them being disposable. No Green Goblin didn't harm Spider-Man 2 because we had Doc Ock. It is properties like Luke Cage and Iron Fist (who had their most famous villain stolen by X-Men!) that have some of the worst Rogues gallery out there where you have to make the best of what you have or steal somebody from another Rogues list (really X-Men, that was unnecessary!)

    I'm surprised those two characters didn't just come out as a tandem Heroes for Hire show straight out of the gate myself. I preferred LC2 to LC1, but Iron Fist was a complete waste of time in my opinion. JJ season 2 was similarly a nothing sandwich for me. I'm hearing a lot of rumbling from the rumor mill that Charlie Cox DareDevil and Bernthal Punisher may roll up into the modern MCU, perhaps as a HULU original show or something, but we'll see what ultimately comes of that.
