Completely Awesome, BroMags!

I didn't vote for Mongul but I do really like the character!

This is just a fantastic nod to the fans, to allow us some small imput into figure selection.

Thank you very much! And I hope that if this went well, more things like this will be considered in the future! :)

Those weren't my votes, but I can't say there were any bad choices among the bunch.

The only downside, I suppose, is with Etrigan and Mongul confirmed and Rampage rumored, the set is on its way to being very yellow. :rolleyes:

I didn't vote for Mongul, but the other two I did.

So does that mean they are definents in the next set?

I'M ANGRY at the result,do's nobody want red son supes but we just got 3 bad figs that are bad like Etrigan the Demon
Mongul
Superboy (Current), we DO NOT NEED THESE guys we need red son supes,but come on we could have had better choices not the junk we had to vote for,red son supes IS not part of the junk so WE NEED A RECOUNT with better choices,and we NEED IT right NOW!!!!!!.

You know, it's nice to see Etrigan a favorite even though he has the word "demon" in his name. I think it's ridiculous Jon L won't release him because of that, but we have Hellboy, Hellcat, Death Demon, the Solar Powered Sodomizer, and others.

My votes also. Bring them (and the rest of the set) on. DC love from one Marvel fanboy:) .

07/06/2004, 18:23

Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Still wondering about a Batman variant, I'm not one of those people that minds redos of a character as long as they're different in some significant way from their predecessors. The DC sets have done the best job with that so far.

Now, how about LOBO?

Jason Blood

07/06/2004, 18:24

I hope we see Red Son Superman sometime (He'd be perhaps the most powerful figure of all)

finally Etrigan:)

I'm fine with this, despite the fact that Superboy is in it. I voted for the other two, although I wouldn't have minded seeing Firefly, either.

Superboy. Bleh. SUPERBOY. BLEH.

I like Etrigan, though. Talk smack during a game in rhyme.

EvilGenius

07/06/2004, 18:27

Are you freaking kidding me? WK did a really cool thing and asked us for some input. Even if you didn't get your choices, the overall gesture was VERY COOL OF THEM. And it was only for a few figs, you have no idea what's in the rest of the set.

Might I suggest that instead of complaining that you didn't get your picks, you say "thanks" to WK for even asking. If they think that we're mature enough, as a community, to be useful in this regard, they'll probably do it again. And they could probably still find ways to work in "fan favs" that have a significant # of votes but perhaps didn't "win". Perhaps not in the next set, but after that.

Maybe we need to do this for an entire set,what do you think of that idea.But i do not think wizkids would allow us to pick 96 figs with there le names for a set but all they would have to do is make the dial and read the comics that charaters are in.

07/06/2004, 18:31

Cool!, I voted for the Demon. :grin:

shock man x

07/06/2004, 18:33

I have a feeling we'll still get a Superman and a Batman. So there is still a good chance at getting Red Son Superman and Gotham By Gaslight Batman (my guess at which two we'll get.) I also think we'll see Firefly as well, Batman Enemy Team needs another flier to fill out its ranks.

Yeah I got two out of three...
Hopefully the'll just make a Red Son Superman anyway...

07/06/2004, 18:38

2 out of 3 for me, however Kon-el was a high want so I am pleased.

Would like to see the other Superman variants at somepoint. The Red Son Superman is an opportunity for WK to fix Vet Superman, even though he would be a Unique and would be probably stil have the carpy leadership (though for the love of all that is holy, PLEASE not for the entire dial).

Enderx> Dude, take some Ritilin and chill out! :rolleyes:

We were given an opportunity to provide input on what was coming out in the next DC set. How could you be angry? Disappointed, maybe, but angry? Besides who's to say that those other figs won't be included, if not in the upcoming set, one of the following sets.

Reactions like that , get opportunities like we received, yanked. Don't mess it up for the rest of us.

Thanks again WK!

With fans like you, it's clear why WK would not let public opinion pic an entire set.

SumYungGai

07/06/2004, 18:55

These are good choices, since we are practically guaranteed a Supes and Bats variant. I am excited for Etrigan and Kon-El Superboy. Mongul? Another overpriced Superman enemy.

My hope for a Red Son Supes would replace the rookie Supes. We need a Superman who weighs in around 150 points. It's criminal to not have a Superman playable at the 300 point level. I'm happy that KC Supes is the most powerful figure in the game, but we need to see the big blue boyscout played more often.

I wouldn't say it dooms any chance of a Blue Devil clix. The fact that they thought enough of him to put him in the poll bodes well, I would think. They've included characters like Ulik and Umar from Marvel who are less well known than Blue Devil, so I'd say it's at least possible.

I vote for all three ,it wasn't that hard,
its great that wiz-kids have let us put some input in,but its left me wanting to do more
they say there will always be a superman, batman, spider-man, hulk , fine then let us lot pick them in a poll.
let us pick the new teams powers as well(flash rogues)
let us pick the next oversize figure(specter)
let us come up with the nexted name(crisis)

Sometimes Wizkids does stuff I dont' agree with. That's life. When they do something that bugs me, I complain, but I try not to be a jerk about it. When Wizkids does something I like, I say nice things. I try to show my appreciation. That's what this forum is for. So they can see our opinions, see what we think of their performance.

And they actually gave US a chance to decide figs in a set. To me, that shows that they're listening, and that they're honoring our wishes. Try to show some respect for them as well.

Thanks. For letting us take part in the process.

Whos a fan of a jminiture companythat cannot make a superman that is useable in a 300p team and some times ignores its own custmers wants,sure they make a good set here and there but what would br nice is constat amount of good sets and figures is good,also a company that lisen to its custmers good idea and use them to make a game better is a great company,sure wizkids has a good set here and there but they do not lisen are good ideas that can improve the game.Man thats a lot of typeing,thanks for reading my side.

You are quite welcome! We'd love to do more of this kind of thing in the future, and I can say that this was an unqualified success - over six thousand people responded in around two weeks - so we'll certainly be looking at other things we can do moving forward.

And a big thanks goes out to Boneyard as well for preparing the bio pages on these characters! A round of applause for him, too!

Enderx, you have a right to complain, but if you have a beef, do it like an adult. First, this thread pertains to the figures WE got to vote on, so try to stay on topic. Second, I don't hear Wizkids reps hurling insults at us, so try to make your points in a similar manner.

And third, read Brother Magneto's responses. He already said he'd like to do more of this kind of thing in the future.

And I'm spent, you're going on my ignore list, Enderx, despite the fact that I like Sci fi.

Storm Master

07/06/2004, 19:22

BroMags,

Does this mean that the figs that did not win the poll will definitely NOT be in the next DC set? Or might we still see a couple of the other figures listed?

Only reason I asked was that the selection of figures offered to vote on were all great choices and 90% of us would be pleased as punch to see the whole lot of them in the next set. :)

Enderx - If you are already unhappy with only 3 selections, what makes you think you would be any happier with a whole set to pick? While your opinion is as welcome as anybody else's you have to remember that to nearly all the rest of us this was a good thing.

Complacted?

Enderx - you must be a poet, I'm guessing. Just from the way you use these incromulent words so hoopishly.

On-topic, I'm glad to see these choices too. Even if these weren't the ones I voted for, they're now the ones I'm gonna pretend to have voted for.

Yay! Etrigan! Superboy! And that other guy!

Now let's see some Marvel polls. My vote's for Arkon, Batroc and Nimrod!

JayThor

07/06/2004, 19:49

3 for 3! Excellent!

SimonMoon5

07/06/2004, 19:52

Oh, well. Nobody I voted for made the cut. :(

Kon-El's okay. I'd rather have had the real Superboy, but his power level probably wouldn't've been translated into the game, just like with Kara Zor-El. Still, Kon-El does deserve to be made. Kon-El's dial should be interesting, since his version of telekinesis (tactile telekinesis) actually matches up with the weird Heroclix version of TK. He's one of the few characters who actually has the Heroclix version of TK instead of real TK.

Etrigan's okay too. He's a significant character and should be made, even if I can think of lots of characters I'd rather see first. I wonder what his dial will be like. Activation click? Perplex? Mystic team?

Mongul is the one that I'm really not excited about. Yeah, he had a couple of great stories pre-Crisis, but the post-Crisis version is a total waste of time. And for his Heroclix version, I anticipate that he'll be just another big strong/tough guy. Nothing special on his dial.

07/06/2004, 20:20

Well, Enderx's philosophy of debate as an aside on this thread, I'm glad to see not only that WK did this, that they followed up and let us know who won! That's freakin' awesome! Shows that participation is not only welcomed, but helps! Whoo hoo!

Now, just a quick rundown of what I'd like out of each:

First, make all 3 R/E/V. As someone else said, another high powered Superman Villian as an unique is just ok, but Mongul as R/E/V can add some depth to a Superman villian team. I'd like to see Etrigan have at least two versions mystic, with one as a Bat ally. (He is, afterall, a creature of darkness....) I just think a Mystic with Superstrength, Leap/Climb, and high toughness/Invulnerability/Impervious is just a kick in the pants for your opponent. And adding Superboy to not only the Superman team, but the Titans will freakin' rock!

All in all, this is great news. BroMags, sorry about some folks who can't take anything good and be happy for it. Thanks for lettin' us know who won, and I look forward to participating in the future!

PEACE!!!!

I Did vote for Batman, but only because it was Batman. I would rather see a new REV Batman than another Elseworlds variant.
I am happy about Mongul. SuperBoy is ok, Not a huge fan of him, but hey, not everyone can be a fan of every figure. Etrigan will be nice to see. The dial can be very cool.

Thanks Brother Mag's! (Please new REV Batman, I'll wash your car at the next WWE in Philly!)

Seriously happy to see Etrigan, I was so torn on the vote, either Blue Devil or him, but I always wanted to team Etrigan and Ghost Rider up so the battle was won so to speak.

07/06/2004, 21:55

I got 2 out of 3. I voted for Silver Age Superboy rather than the current one - what can I say, I'm old school like that. Glad Suerboy took the slot over Superman. Sorry, Big Blue boosters. While a Red Son Superman would have been cool, I prefer new characters over variants of existing ones.

Kudos to WizKids for offering the vote & here's looking forward to the next one.

Thanks BroMags for posting the results.

Question: what DID happen to the Batman related figure? If WizKids prefers to keep this quiet for now could you please tell us so, BroMags?

Oh, & we should all thank boneyard as well!

WarHULK

07/06/2004, 22:05

Thank you WK, and as always, Boneyard, you have my undying gratitude for all you do for us here.

As many have said, WK has done quite a number of things recently which have been worthy of complaining about but this most certianly is not one of them (others include the new LE system and the anouncement about the next set and the cards it will include).

So bravo WK, you've made most of us happy once more!

Action_Jackson

07/06/2004, 22:07

Thank you, Wiz Kids. The idea of asking our opinion is greatly appreciated. It'd be really cool if you'd consider doing this again.

And, for the record, those were my three picks. The odds of this happening are... well... really, really small. Or they should be. But they aren't, because it seems like a whoooooooole lot of other people had the exact same opinion.

Anyhoo! Thanks again, WK!

dernjg

07/06/2004, 22:10

I'm rather happy with these results (albeit my vote for Adam Strange didn't tip the scales enought. Need him for my Starman Team... Well, him, Black Condor, Elongated Man... For now, I must admit that I'm in a minority desiring him).

Now, with any luck, those pieces that also got heavy votage will be strongly considered for inclusion in either this set or the next.

As for Superboy, I for one will pull for the Black shirt and jeans, with the supes ally on rookie and vet with a solid Teen Titans on the Exp. Why? 'Cause his powers were all wonky at first, and he didn't go X-Ray until getting some goggles supplied to him. Then he joined the Titans as a somewhat powerful (but sans-X-Ray vision) brick, and then his powers kicked back up a notch and started to mirror Supes.

Bluebeard

07/06/2004, 22:27

Eh, none of those were my votes, but they're alright. Really woulda liked that commie Supes though.

Glen Quagmire

07/06/2004, 22:48

Sure, it's possible. The current Superboy is in the Legion right now. I foresee one of two scenarios.

1) R - Superman Ally, E - Teen Titans, V - Legion

2) R - Superman Ally, E - Superman Ally, V - Teen Titans, LE - Legion

I am hoping we get version 2...we need cheaper Superman Ally on the DC side.

Got two outta my three (didn't vote for Mongul) but VERY happy about Kon-El and Etrigan. YEA!!! I am have been wanting the Demon for some time now. But will he be a Mystic, a batman ally? Will he be a Unique or a REV? I am guessing he will have an activation click. Battle Fury? I cannot wait to see Etrigan (love him).

Now, are we gonna get the new female Robin? Or the Grayson version or Robin? And can we get a Killer Moth for Boneyard? And I want a pony, and a car, and a trip to the moon....

By filling in a few missing words and correcting a few more, I'm guessing what you're trying to say is that WizKids does not listen to people's good ideas for improving the game. Okay, but good idea to whom? What you think is a good idea I might think is carp. What I think is a good idea you might hate. Good is in the eye of the beholder, and who are you to be the final arbiter of good? Furthermore, how do you know WK doesn't listen? Has BroMags PMed you and said, "Hey, don't bother, we're not listening"? Is it proof they're not listening because they don't immediately adopt an idea given to them by someone? Playtesting ideas takes time, money, and effort. Relax and type slower...

Come on, Groovy; don't you get it? Guys like EnderX are who WK should cater to. Guys who can't take the time out to type properly, (and that's everyone else's fault for not understanding what he's trying to say, btw.) Guys who feel their opinion should ONLY be the one that counts. (Even when noone can understand it.) Guys who aren't fans of the game company that puts out the game in question. That's who they need to focus on. Forget the guys who took the time to vote for the next figs, its the guys who didn't win that WK should do! And let's face it, who here wouldn't like to decide all 96 figures in the new set (which, I think is rumored to be Powerbomb?)

Time to be a bit more positive, don't you all agree?

It all depends on how (or if) they decide to account for YJ.

If they decide YJ is Titans, then #1 would work. If YJ isn't Titans, then #1 won't work, since Kon's only been a Titan for 12 issues...

Now #2 seems the likely choice if they ignore YJ. Personally, I'd call YJ Titans and go R- SA, E - Titans, V - Titans, LE - Legion.

a player gets to design a character, but I might be dreaming. Thanks again WizKids!

07/07/2004, 02:44

Massive kudos to Wizkids for offering us a chance to effect what will be in the next DC set.

The only fig that I voted for who made it was Mongul, but at least I had the chance to vote. Sure, I wanted Earth 2 Superman, but I know that more people wanted Superboy. That works for me.

Here's hoping for more polls in the future, Wizkids. Thanks.

ps- Thanks to Boneyard for being on top of it all with bios. You rule!

Okay man, i would like to point few things:
- WK are in this to make money. Not a good idea to put all the desired characters in the same set.
- They have offered the fans the chance to select few figs. Is incredible that as your chances weren't not selected you are angered. This was a chance for the most of fans to select the characters. The MOST... ummm... do you know what it means?
- Perhaps Superman is too powerful to have him under 150 points. Should i start ranting because i can't play Dormammu at 200 points games?
- I'm not a fan of WK. I love their idea to create a superheroes game, but i dislike lots of their ideas and tactics (the entire Galactus thing for example). But that have not me barking like an angry dog the entire day.
- Obscure characters? Errrrr... and the others weren't obscure? Etrigan seems more popular to me than the rest (ha has even appeared in most of DC TV shows). Mongul is a well known foe of Superman and Superboy is quite popular as well.

the Silver Age Superman is no "other" +200 Superman, he is "THE" +200 Superman (maybe 300?) the Silver Age Superman ios the definitive Superman, is the Crhistopher Reeve Suoerman, the Superman what all the people think or remember, is the more popular and powerfull Superman in the History, the real Justice League Superman, the Super Power/ Superfriends Superman, and for last my favorite Superman.

He must be something like...

This isn't an excuse for the complaints, but I think a general feeling among DC fans is that time may be running out (considering that DC gets one set a year) and it is desirable to get as many "desired characters" as possible in each expansion.

BroMags: more JSA!

Well don't KNOW that a figure not winning the poll means it won't be in the set. I wouldn't be surprised to the see the Bat-Man, actually.

Like everyone, I applaud the concept of the vote and encourage WK to do more such (as they seemed inclined).

One suggestion though: I didn't completely understanding how the characters were lumped together into choices. Something like this would suit my fancy better:

a. Sportsmaster?
b. Hector Hammond?
c. Star Sapphire?
d. Goldface?

a. Killer Moth?
b. Firefly?
c. Tiger Moth?
d. Kiteman?

a. The Fisherman?
b. Capt. Stingaree?
c. Ocean Master?
d. The Human Flying Fish?

a. #### Grayson as Robin?
b. Jason Todd as Robin?
c. Spoiler as Robin?
d. Carrie Kelly as Robin?

Well, you get the idea....

Isn't the weaker golden age Superman's name Kal-L and the Silver Age Superman's name Kal-EL (at least it was during the Crisis)? Or has DC changed that too? Wouldn't that make Kal-El more powerful than Kal-L?

the Kal-L I'm talking about is the Red Son Superman

eboladude

07/07/2004, 07:56

I do believe you're correct, 1164.

I only got 1 out of 3 - Mongul, who because of WK's proclivity toward massive bludgeoning types, was probably going to be made anyway.
The character I wanted to see in particular was Adam Strange. A named guy with flight, a brain and a gun. No super-powers. Makes him kinda fun. I'd love to see some of the "B" heroes get in on this - especially some of the weird ones! Real morts like Bwana Beast, Congorilla, Ultraa (the 4-in-1 hero) and Ambush Bug. I think the Metal Men and Doom Patrol would be spectacular additions. Bring on the Blackhawks, the Challengers, and the Sea Devils! Cave Carson or Rip Hunter anyone? Heck, even some sidekick pogs would be fun. They'd be great for writing scenarios. Oh, and they all had either giant creatures or real "B-grade" bad guys too - Multi-Man (the Challs arch-foe, last seen being tortured by the Joker, I believe) connect for anyone?
Too many HC players seems obsessed with the next goliath uberlord of the board who can kill everyone. Remember, though - you have to go through lotsa losers to go up against one Darkseid; otherwise you're gonna get bored with Darkseid! My favorite games are when several modest guys go after one bad guy.
So remember - slow down. Take it a little easier. Savor the moment. Have a caffeine-free Pepsi. The next set doesn't come out til November. Go try ALL those Ultimates. Play with those Serpent Society-types. Try ganging up on, oh ... Eclipso. He was always a great B-villain until they ran that whole summer crossover about him.
And WizKids - Let's see some GOOD, MEDIOCRE figures out there next time!!

What? Are you from Florida? Keep recounting until you win?

Or are you illiterate, it was not a close race

As much as I regret no Earth 2 Superman, I accede to the demands of the masses: Bring on the Rhymer, the lad with the tactile TK and Big Yellow

hulkamania85

07/07/2004, 08:20

Superboy sounds cool, have no idea who the other two are.

I was hoping we'd see some classic DC stuff. IMO old school SUperman should be an REV. We need another REV Batman and Superman.

Dr Mid-Knight

07/07/2004, 08:24

Oi!, They'll still do a Superman despite the choice made for Superboy. They'll just pick a different Superman than the ones offered.

As far as Etrigan goes I personally am very happy with this choice. Mongul is the only one I could do without as I don't feel he is a unique villain enough to be voted on. He's the kind of villain that you get forced on you not the kind you pick!

But I am glad that this hint of the next DC set and hope to see more regarding this issue soon.

I think I'd realllllllllly like to see 3-D objects in the boosters for DC too. Smaller objects that anyone can use like a net for incap, a gun for RCE and so on and on. But they'll prolly just do Feats, Battlefield condition and Bystander tokens like Marvel's sets.

rouge2

07/07/2004, 08:48

The question now: Which style to do the Demon in?

Classic Kirby?
Cat-like Bissette-Totleben?
Crazed Wagner?
Madcap Grant/Semeiks?

I'd go with Bissette-Totleben personally, but there'll be big demand for a Kirby version too.

superfriend

07/07/2004, 09:11

I'd like to add that it was cool that WizKids asked us for our input. I'm glad diversity prevailed and new characters won instead of remakes. Etrigan, Mongul, & Superboy instead of Superman, Batman, & Catwoman. It goes back to what brought me into this game in the first place, unusual choices.

On another note, maybe we should have a forum here which is just for wish lists and polls of future figures?

We can always hope he is going to be "just one of the figs"

I hope we get Rookie - Purple and Orange jammies, Experienced - Giffen Biker, Veteran - Bisely (sp?) Steroid Monster Biker, Unique - As Veteran with Dawg

It was 1 out of 3 for me (Etrigan), though I'm not bothered by the others being there... even if I expect Mongul to turn out to be one of those low-to-middle appeal uniques.

This was a nice exercise, though, I agree. It was something much-needed by the DC fans who came into 2004 thinking they had a good chance at seeing two sets but came to see that there would only be one... though with all this lead time I'd hate to see this become the start of info leaks on the set.

Adam Strange was my vote. :(

But since BroMags said the vote wasn't close, I can accept that Etrigan is the one they should make and just keep my fingers crossed for another expansion.

Ignatz_Mouse

07/07/2004, 11:40

Adam Strange was my second choice. I hated picking between the two.

As far as his dial--

Flight with high movement and long range
Running Shot for a click or two
Outwit
relatively low damage (2?)
16 Defense, 10 attack

I see him as a "plinker" and Outwitter.

Last click phasing, to represent Zeta Beam escape.

doctorfate77

07/07/2004, 11:45

I also voted for adam strange.

I've never been much of a "brick" player, so I didn't vote for Mongul. I didn't vote for any of the "winners". However, I'm extremely interested in how they will transfer SB and Etrigan to Clix form. Does that also mean that there will be a Jason Blood LE and perhaps a Conner or Kon-el LE?

DarkKnight316

07/07/2004, 12:59

I was wondering how does everyone think that they'll do Etrigan. I see him as a Unique with a Jason Blood activation click(Maybe with Phasing, ES/D & PC and low stats) and 11 total clicks of life and the Mystics TA. Anybody have any thoughts on Etrigans powers?

Wasteland

07/07/2004, 13:22

All I can say is...

ZOD!

other than that, I'm glad they let us choose a couple. Maybe more next time.

Ignatz_Mouse

07/07/2004, 13:48

DK316:

Etrigan has gome through a lot of changes in power level, so I think he should be an REV. I see him with Energy Explosion to simulate him flame breath, Leap Climb for most of the dial, an activation click on at least the rookie. That, and varying degrees of Damage Reduction. Short range, high damage.

Cliff Stockton

07/07/2004, 13:57

Thanks for the chance to let our input influence the new set a bit. All were good choices but the majority rules in a vote.

Here's hoping we get more opportunities like this in the future. DC does need a little more love than Marvel right now.

Thanks again!

Kinseeker1

0 for 3. but still happy with who won. The fact WK asked at all says a lot. I don't know of any other company that does that. With that said, the only change I would make for next time (and hopefully there will be one) is instead of 4 small groups of choices where we choose 1 from each group, give us 1 list of 20 choices and let us pick our top 3.

Like gentlegamer and others have said more JSA

I got enough Marvel figs, I want some more DC guys, after all, DC has 20+ years on Marvel. Granted Marvel may have the youth market, but I got money I wanna spend, and I wanna spend it on DC figs.

rant over.

Funky Flashman

07/07/2004, 14:23

I agree with eboladude about the need for more obscure figs. I want to see an Ambush Bug fig myself. I also agree with jon-el about spending my money on DC over Marvel. I usually get a full case of the latest DC expansion. For Marvel expansions, I buy a half-case or just boosters.

But, about the poll, I think that Wizkids left out an extremely obvious fig choice... Funky Flashman!

With only one more set left in the year, and that being November's Mutant Mayhem (a title that doesn't immediately fill me with hope) I don't expect to see the next DC set until February at the earliest, more likely March. Of course, that's just my guess. As someone who buys into each set (at least so far) at about the same case + what I pick up at marquee events level, I'm up for either a Marvel or a DC set -- it largely depends upon who's in the mix.

On the contrary, Wizkids (or Jon L for that matter), may make a 'People's Choice' expansion set. Wouldn't that be great!

Still, I aplaude the idea of the poll.

Etrigan the Demon (why ? (YAWNS) bad poetry, weak figure concept IMHO)
Mongul (Well, fair enough. Not a favourite of mine, but should be a worthwhile Unique - wouldn't make a good REV though...)
Superboy (Current) (Good - about time - although personaly I'd like a LSH variant Superboy...)

...and Adam Strange HAS to happen (how retro-old-school can you get... oh yes ...)

LoL

Dudes.

Have to say that I'm all aglitter (inwardly, thanks) about the Etrigan news. Been a fan of his mostly due to Swamp Thing and his celestial/infernal meanderings. Saw him briefly with Batman in Chinatown adventures (unsure of the specific title) and some of his own series in - what, mid-80s? The ranked demons have been story faves of mine.
The others in the poll? Eeeh, I guess a Superboy of some kind was probably inevitable, and I don't begrudge anybody that. They've got Science Police for cryin' out loud. Mongul? Not necessarily my own flavour favorite, but OK. Zod...now there's a name that needs a clix put to it. I agree.

Boy, go to Asia for a few months and see what happens.

(Nice to see y'all again, healthy and typing...more or less...)
