I recently bought an old Inquest magazine from a discount bin. And I spotted some Mage Knight mounted figures on a double base and freaked out! I have been buying all the Whirlwind and Lancers boosters I can get a hold of. I now think Wizkids should make a Marvel Heroclix expansion with "mounted" figures. It could be the same as the MK and have 3 regular figs and 1 mounted per booster. Here are some of my suggestions for the mounted figs...
Black Knight on Atomic Steed
Ghost Rider(Dan Ketch) on motorcycle
Valkyrie on Brightwind
Rawhide Kid on Horse
Ant-Man on flying ant
Hawkeye on fyling bike
Bonebreaker(of the Reavers) on his tank tracks
Nightmare on nightmare steed
mounted uniques
Darvedevil(Earth X) on motorcycle
Captain America(with helmet) on motorcycle
Ghost Rider(Johnny Blaze) on classic motocycle
If anybody else is game(pun intended) with this, shout it out! Along with any suggestions for mounted figs.

this would be a great way to do the silver surfer. I heard they were complaining that he's too powerful, but if they give him the Jack Kirby style long bord with 2 bases that just might make him tough enough.
Other suggestions would be movie style wolverine on bike since you need a wolverine in every set. Valkyrie on her horse, maybe make some big figs that aren't too big this way like Giant Man, Goliath, Dragon man and others.

While I think that certain figs like the Silver Surfer are too powerful for this, and while I think that not everyone who ever had a vehicle should get a Heroclix (Spider-Man had a dune buggy; you gonna give him that?), I do think that mounted Heroclix would be fun. Here's how I think you should do it:
Package two figs, one mounted, and one w/out the mount. This would work great for Ghost Rider, Robin, and other motorcycle sized vehicles like SHIELD skysleds.
I wouldn't recommend car-sized figures; they don't translate onto brawl-sized maps very well. Let the customizers and map-makers do their own "house rules" with cars, vans, and trucks.
But the bike-sized vehicles would be sweet. Smaller than MK dragons, too, so two figs, one mounted and one without, wouldn't kill you for manufacturing costs.
Game wise, you can assign different points for fig with and fig without vehicle. People who spend their points on both can field Ghost Rider on foot after his bike is knocked out from under him. Costs more to do, though. Same with SHIELD figures, Robin on the Redbird Bike, or whatnot. Otherwise, when the vehicle is defeated, so is the whole unit.
Just a suggestion. But I think it would work well as a Big-Fig kind of release.
