Which figure do you guys want to see the least and hope never comes out?

Parallax - no question.

(Distant) dishonorable mentions:

Any Spider-Clones
Superman Blue/Red
Occulus, Cheesecake Invisible Woman, Lyja, or any other DeFalco FF wreckage
Any Spectre that isn't Jim Corrigan

The Ringer (Only four clicks deep. Only power: Incapacitate)

Kite Man (Only three clicks deep. Only power: Flight. Maximum speed: four on his first click. Hey, at least he'd be cheaper than Vulture!)

Chemo (A DC oversized figure. Actually fairly nasty, with a hellacious range, damage, RCE and Poison, but who wants a figure that sounds like it's undergoing treatment for cancer?)

Crazy-Quilt (Criminal, dressed like a circus clown, basically. Archenemy: Robin)

Turtle Man (Thug, with a movement of 2, and Perplex. Might actually be useful, if not for his defense value of 9...)

The Human Bomb (Energy Explosion and/or Pulse Wave, no range... and that's it. Wanna play "pull my finger?")

Madrox The Multiple Man (Did this guy actually have any powers, aside from being able to be in a dozen places at once? I already HAVE about fifty Thugs...)

Krypto (Please. Just... don't.)

Evillo (Thug, with Mind Control and a defense of about 8. Oh, yeah, and perhaps the dumbest name of any supervillain ever written)

Phantasmo (Who owns the rights to Phantasmo? I'd like to think that WizKids wouldn't reach quite this far back for IndyClix, but it occurs to me that Phantasmo might be in the public domain by now... and that frightens me)

Virmin Vundabar (About the only Fourth World Jack Kirby figure I would NOT want to see in HeroClix)

Calendar Man (Thug, with... um... well, hell, I have no idea what Calendar Man might have, except the ability to batter Batman's fists with his face...)

Pre-Crisis Superman. A defense of about 30....

There many people I hope I don't see. Like the Ultimate Marvel Shocker. He's no good at all. I don't want to see any more big figures. I haven't looked at Sinestro's stats yet, but they're probably a disappointment like Sentinel's and not worth the points. Maybe they could make those boss prime sentinels, like the ones during zero tolerance. That'd ROCK!

Insane clown Posse Clix would be awsome. I don't want to see The Rawhide Kid. I have nothing against gay people just gay not so super hereos

Doomtoy, no Madrox or Human Bomb? Human Bomb looked COOL I tell ya! And Multiple Man would be a great piece! I always liked his powers and during Milgrom's run on X-Factor, he was one of my favorite characters. Nothing's cooler than sticking your finger under the bottom of a locked door, stomping your foot and having your clone unlock it for you! Anyway, all those other guys you mentioned could be taken out easily be one simple character...Scourge!

Any WWE clix or Nintendo clix or especially Buffy Clix if any of that happens that will simply ruin it.

Please no more Ultimate Marvel anything. It's bad enough we have fake versions of Green Goblin and Taskmaster. Stop the madness, I beg of you.

I can't deside if an Inspecter Gaget would be a good and funny piece or just annoyingly bad.

Scourge: The more I think about this guy, the more interesting he sounds. Not a tough guy; Captain America turned him into a pretzel, right quick, as I recall. His usual MO involved disguising himself, sneaking up on some loser washed-up supervillain, and about the time the victim realized "Hey, you're not the ice cream ma--", Scourge would scream "JUSTICE IS SERVED!!!!" and blast the villain's liver halfway to Portugal with a crazed burst of automatic weapons fire.

Stealth and Shapeshifting, to represent his knack for sneaking up on people. Attack value 11, three lightning bolts, and a damage of 6 on his first click... but his range is only about 3, and his defense maxes out at 8. Dial's only about four clicks deep. In short, this fig is only good when it can sneak up on someone, and goes down FAST if anyone survives to put up a fight. Still... with Stealth and Shapeshifting, he could be a VERY interesting obstacle to put out there in the middle of the map. Talk about Zone Of Control... and the idea of seeing my opponent's face when he moves in close with Wolverine or someone to clean Scourge out of the way, and then Scourge Shapeshifts... and rolls a 6... Naw, forget it, the Invisible Woman Taxi Service would just make this figure way too easy to abuse to hell and gone...


Madrox: I repeat, what are his powers? Using the "reaching under the door trick", you'd have to give him Phasing, which seems wildly out of character. Basically, it seems to me that Madrox would simply be the Generic Character for whatever expansion he was in... "Thug In A Green Body Stocking."

I would not be particularly interested in any character created by Rob Liefield. I mean, we already HAVE the X-Men, the Avengers, and Captain America, and as far as I can tell, Liefield just went and re-created them with new names and costumes for another company...

Nintendo Clix and Wrestling Clix could be fun, but not in HeroClix. I'm sure there's a market for Mario Vs. Goombah, or Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. Hollywood Hogan, but I wouldn't wanna see any of these appear in HeroClix tournaments...

The Human Bomb... cool? These are not two words I would normally use in the same sentence. He was a guy in a diving suit who could blow up at will, basically. Howtheheck you simulate that? Give him RCE and Energy Explosion, but no range?

I have to agree that I would not be particularly wild about Parallax.

I wouldn't actually QUIT playing HeroClix if they put the Scarlet Spider in there, but I sure wouldn't bust my hump trying to get the unique.

I am not keen on the Ultimate Green Goblin, although I admit to not being very familiar with him. I want Loony Man Osborn, soaring around on his Goblin Glider, throwing pun'kin bombs that do actual damage, and sparkly zaps that made Spider-Man actually want to dodge them. I want a Green Goblin who could and can beat Spider-Man one-on-one on any map in the game.

If there's gonna be a Rawhide Kid, save him for WesternClix. I didn't buy into a superhero game so I could play with little plastic cowboys.
