"Will they ever make it to Heroclix?" List [Archive]

Ok, after 3 sets, the following figures still have YET to make their appearance, and I dont know why they havent yet.

1) Venom: I mean cmon, he shoulda been in the first set or 2nd. Hes Spidey's most famous villain, was he somehow "replaced" with the black suit Spidey?

2) Carnage: He better be in the 4th expansion. I would love to see a great Carnage, wiith Flurry, Toughness, CCE, and maybe Blades for 1 click. He would be awesome.

3)Angel: He should have been in Xplosion! Where is he! Instead of another Wolverine, make an Angel fig to complete the original Xmen!

4) Omega Red: Archenemy to Wolverine and Collosus not here? Should have been in Xplosion! He could have Steal Energy for alomost all clicks, toughness, maybe a range of 6. Man he would be a good sculpt.

5)Ghost Rider: WHERE IS HE???? He better be in the next set, hes a marvel legend! With his bad chain and flamin skull, he could be a great figure.

6)Prowler: Hes a way cool hero, and could have Leap/climb, claws, and maybe a click of Invunerability.

7)Morbius: He just plain cool. Finally, if he gets made, I could have the ultimate battle between Michael Morbius and Blade!

Any opinions on if any of these will be made?

Why becuase people vary in opinion. Example!!!

1) Venom: Dont really care for him but I will take him. Should he be in the first set? Obviously not!

2)Carnage: One of the reasons why not to play hero klix. I would want stiltman before this one.

3)Angel: Look its Vulture I mean Angel. He all right but defiantly not a must.

4)Omega Red: Cool villian. I would use him more then likely.

5)Ghost Rider: See number 2!! At least he is a step above Carnage.

6)Prowler: Got to have that villian.

7)Morbius: Hmmm nope dont want him its like saying. "Why yes I want a skrull general" Of course That I would like Skrull General.

8)Punisher: Well at least you didnt say him. He is just one step above Carnage with Ghost RIder in fron of him.

Why not Carnage? Its not like hes Ultra Powerful or anything. And yea, I would have said Punisher, but hes not really a must. Nick Fury is already the "guy wit guns" clix.

But Prowler is pretty cool, and the one I wanted most is Venom. Sure, Gambit and da Goblin were put in the expansion(Pinapple cough cough) but the series of Heroclix is still missing a few.

They want to hold back on giving out all the figs we want, not put them all in one set then make a bunch of sets none of us will want..

Btw. Angel would be an interesting fig.. if he's just like vulture but with X men team, taxi in someone, attack, push to attack again, push him to xmen their health back up one click etc

Steve Shady

02/21/2003, 17:08

I thought Angel had powers? He most most likely have at least some kind of defenseive, maybe Deflection cuz of his metal wings? And hopefully a click of Toughness? I mean hes got mean wings, unlike Vultures non lethal ones.

Manchine

02/21/2003, 17:11

Angel with metal wings. Ahh you mean arch angel. Angel Originally had Real wings. He is so much different then he is today. That would probable be a veteran form of him or a unique.

Arch Angel was a good story but I put his klix right above Mr Sinister on what I wanted. Thats not that high up.

Young People dont know history. :D ;) :p

02/21/2003, 17:13

Metal wings=Archangel.

Although they are the same person, Angel and Archangel are two completely different figs/people.

As an X-fan, I would love an angel for a cheep X-taxi. But Archangel would be too powerful to be a pure taxi IMHO.

[edit]Dang! Manchine beat me to the punch.....BTW i (think) i'm pretty young, but im pretty good with X-history. (I've only really read X-title with regularity)

Steve Shady

02/21/2003, 17:14

BTW Spider villains are a great idea for a set.

Venom could be everything Spiderman wasnt....

Kraven the Hunter could be in it. His powers, I have no idea. Maybe stuff likke outwit and CCE.....

Electro would be excellent. With Energy Explosion, maybe RCE, maybe Barrier (Like an electric field he could make..)

Mysterio could have smoke cloud, stealth, perplex, all those mind bending stuff that would make him a crafty figure.

Steve Shady

02/21/2003, 17:16

Yeah, I know the differ between Arch and Regula angel. Thats a good idea, E and R Angel, and the V version is ARCHangel.

Like Invisible Girl/Woman. Heh, they should do that with more figs.

Mr Sinister isnt such a good idea, I mean hes immortal isnt he? My knowledge on Sinister is fuzzy, hes the X Villain I know least about.

Vermin would be a nice cheap fig :0

Aron

Mr. Sinister would be an interesting fig to have... Stealth, TK on the same click, some defensive power (toughness or invuln?) mid to deep dial, outwit or perplex and/or psychic blast with stealth later on his dial

He's an Augmented human/mutant? who worked with/for or assisted the high evoloutionary (i've never been too clear on how the two are linked) in the high evoloutionary's Early era (1800s)

See the Evoloutionary War for more about it

He's at least 100 years old, possibly older

Thats my understanding at least anyway, hope that helps

MARVEL:

C'mon, Venom's just too popular to ignore.

Where's Namor?

And where's Loki? The Enchantress, Thor's archenemy? Last I heard, they were sleeping together...

Absorbing Man would be nice.

Ghost Rider would be great, especially in a double-based mounted version.

DC:

GOTTA have Two-Face. Maybe he wouldn't DO much, but he'd have Perplex, at the very least.

Mr. Mxyzptlk. I've never liked this guy in the comics, but he could be great on the gameboard. That, and if he's a good figure, I'd have huge laughs listening to gamers across America trying to pronounce his name.

The Penguin. I have NO idea what his powers would be, but he's a Batman archfoe, after all.

Amazo. I'd love to see Amazo. I can't keep a straight face just saying his NAME...

How about another version of Brainiac? His metallic version, or even his pink-shirt-wearin', legendary pantsless version?

just a few quick mentions...

1.) not everyone is going to be released...it's called marketing. if they released everything we wanted now we would never buy anything later. so, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

2.) venom, carnage and any other variant of spidey I can do without and I like good ole peter parker...but that whole clone thing? anyways...I would rather NOT see these guys...but we probably will eventually

3.) Ghost Rider...while I am not a fan of the current incarnation I am sure he too will make an appearance. hopefully they put johnny blaze as an LE if this is the case...johnny rates in my books.

4.) gads...I could go on forever...if there is a character you want to see but has not come out yet....see #1 above...

My knowledge on Sinister is fuzzy, hes the X Villain I know least about.
Sinister is a genetician. The most important thing is that Sinister led one of the coolest team of villains in the X-history, the Marauders. Their first fight with the X-Men was lethal, leading to a major change in the X-Men line-up (Shadowcat, Nightcrawler, and Colossus were so badly hurt they had to leave the team, though Colossus returned soon after. Kurt and Kitty had to wait ten of our years to return in the team... Btw, most of the mutant outcasts known as the Morlocks were killed by the Marauders in the fight). X-Men and Marauders had other awesome fights (like the one in San Francisco), until their final fight during Inferno, where Sinister was apparently killed by Cyke. He later reappeared, but never played such an important role again (another awesome villain wasted by Scott Lobdell, IMHO). The rivality between Wolverine and Sabretooth began at this time, since Sabretooth was a member of the Marauders. Definitely one of my favourite X-Men eras.

I think everyone is forgetting about Apocalypse. The guy who made Angel into Death who became Archangel. His powers should include plasticity, CCE, Outwit, Perplex, Mastermind. He is thought to the oldest mutant. he would be an interesting figure to see too. he should be a unique at best since his powers didnt really change much thru out the comics

fulcilives

02/22/2003, 09:43

as for angels powers, most recently he seemed to gain some kinda healing factor. kinda like wolverines. it was his secondary mutation

just quickly apocolypse is not the oldest mutant i dont think
the oldest mutant is another external nicodemus i think, but ot sure anywya in early x force comics we see them meet and hes already much older then En Saba Nur at that point
but hoipefully if certian sources are correct we will have apoc in the upcoming xplosion set
cheers

helixrat

02/22/2003, 12:26

Pip,

Apocalypse is older than Nicodemus. Apocalypse doesn't age, but he isn't an external like Nicodemus. An externals apparent age is determined by the age at which he dies.

For more info on Apocalypse's origin, check out the 4 part mini series "The Rise of Apocalypse" which was put out, I believe, in 98 or 99. His origins lie in ancient Egypt.

Concerning Apocalypse, a pineapple can work like an oracle...

But I want Sinister!
And I want Nightfist! (oh, wrong universe)

And I want my post-apocalypse-possessed Cyclops!:D

We definatly need a venom and a carnage.

I doubt they will ever get made but what about a justice and a firestar? I'd love em.

Or a thunderbolts faction?

While we're talking about Sinister and clix that might never be made, I want Scalphunter and Riptide!!!! They would be great, some relatively cheap RCE (40 pts VEt for Scalp, I'm thinkin) and a Whirlwind-type with 4 range and a higher attack value + blades/claws.
Yup, and I'd add some Perplex to Scalphunter, for his ability to create different guns... Vertigo could have it too, or Incapacitate with a lot of targets. Harpoon would of course be the RCE type, Scrambler would get Outwit I guess (though his power was rather confusing), and Arclight Pulse Wave.
Another team I'd like to see in the game is the classic Claremont era New Mutants, with Cannonball, Mirage, Magma, Magik, Karma (MC with 3 arrows!!), Sunspot, Cypher and Warlock. We already got Wolfsbane...
Milligan/Allred X-Force/X-Statix would be cool too.
I'd also be glad to see Valeria von Doom make it to the FF. She looked cool, and was a fun character.

darthnader

02/23/2003, 13:11

Valeria von Doom rocks! I'd be the happiest clixter in the world if they made her.

I also want to see Arnim Zola (the silly-looking guy with his face on his chest and a camera for a head) and MODOK. So I like big-headed bad guys in purple and orange?

Killraven would be cool too. I've been really enjoying the Alan Davis mini-series.

How could you call anyone an idiot, when you type like this? lol

I want all of them, I satarted out just collecting but when hypertime came out I relly got into playing, I've got every click so far although I've only actually had about 1/3 of them out on the battlefield, in closing if they made an aunt may how she looked in the classic aunt may & franklin richards vs galactus I'd want it too

btw i read on all these posts how bad everyone wants namor & surfer, where were all these '"fans" when their books got canceled due to low buy rates

JayThor

02/23/2003, 15:17

There have been at least twenty different requests for Namor, and slightly more for Silver Surfer. If a comic doesn't sell a million copies, it gets cancelled. Obviously the 20-30 (or even fifty, if I guessed too low) of us fans aren't enough to keep the books going.
I do want 1. Silver Surfer, 2. Namor, 3. Iron Fist, 4. Powerman, 5. Absorbing Man

From DC: 1. Monel 2. Captain Marvel 3. Alan Scott 4. Wildcat 5. Superboy (for my son)

razz10555

02/23/2003, 15:24

I know it'll never happen due to legal issues but i'd kill for ROM and the old spaceknights and some dire wraiths for them to neutralize.
I also NEED a jubilee i mean come on rookie is unaffiliated ####py piece experienced is weak x men version and v can be her high power level where she was blowing up buildings.

on that note i wouldn't mind seeing some hellions either

or a MAGIK i always thought she was cool.

or Coak and Dagger my fave marvel duo.

and Dani Moonstar as Mirgage or psyche or whatever.

Black Bolt and the inhumans

also a bucky
a unique mohawk havin storm
maybe a spider woman
A moon Knigt might be cool as well.
I could go on and on

on the DC side

i'd like Orion and Calibac
wonder woman
i wouldn't mind seeing the future JLA with aquagirl and warhawk and the like
I feel we need some Legionares lke Cosmic boy in here.
and I would really like a Monarch (not Extant MONARCH.)
