Confirmed Figures - Spiderman, Hulk, Elektra, and Wolverine.
j/k... Actually I wish I was just kidding, but I'm probably right.

Well, since the old pineapple's been eaten, what's it gonna be this time? A grapefruit? Coconut? Maybe a mango?
I was hoping we could drop the entire joke altogether, since it stopped being funny a long time ago. :}

Hey - you're not being fair! It didn't get old for AT LEAST 20 minutes......
Well, I believe afew people have been saying that Ultimate Rhino will be in the next set (how they'd get that info on something so far away I do not know) but one of those people who said it was Al "Super Rhino" so I'll believe him. Toss that into your rumor list!:D
HalfassedNinja
03/04/2003, 09:38
Well considering the GLARING OMISSION of one of the "Original 5", I would guess Angel/Archangel in the next set.
Originally posted by PMMJ

The head designer of the Marvel Heroclix sets said that Rhino was one of his favorite villains, and that he'd be in a set soon, so that's probably where he got it from. The interview was an old one...about 3-4 months ago maybe...
bluesummers

I'd heard a while back there would be a 400 point Hulk. Im wondering if the Maestro mail in that's been rumored could be him.
Imagine a Hulk with no Battle Fury, but instead with Outwit and Perplex down the dial...ohh, what a monster that would be.
If I recall correctly, other figures the designer expressed interest in were:
A new Captain America
Wonder Man
Power Pack
There looks to have been one character in each set that has probability control, ( I.C.-Scarlet Witch, C.T.-Black Cat, X.P.-Destiny) so there will probably be one in the next expansion. So I think it will be Longshot. Heck, the made Mojo, why not?:cool:
bluesummers
03/07/2003, 03:01
Longshot would definitely be cool. I wish he and Dazzler would come around more often. They're just kind've forgotten, and with Psylocke turned into the 80's reject she is, that whole era of the x-men is practically missing. I hope Silvestri's new run plays on his original.
And yeah, we definitely need a new Cap...but the Power Pack?
With Mojo and Spiral out already, you would think Longshot and Dazzler wouldn't be too far behind.
A new Cap would be way cool. I kinda liked him when he had that energy shield he could turn into a weapon, (especially when he shoved it down Ultron's throat.) But if they do a Cap, they deffinently need to do a Zemo as an Arch-Enemy.
Also, Hypersonic speed was introduced to Marvel via Nightcrawler. Maybe they would do more characters with this power, like a new Quicksilver or a Photon (she can fly at the speed of light after all.):cool:
Lonehawk
03/07/2003, 04:28
With the next Marvel set likely to be at the tail end of this year (DC expansion in June/July, Indyclix in Sept?) the a lot depends on whether any movies will be hitting the screen around Christmas. Also WK will need to set a theme for the set which will appeal to the masses and which in turn will account for at least a third of the figures.
Since FF and X-men have been done that leaves the Avengers and Spider-Man as the really big options. And since the Avengers roster is already pretty full, and lots of Spidey's best foes are still to see light I know what I'd put my money on. When does SM2 come out?
So, I don't have any concrete rumours but I'm leaning towards appearances by:
Rhino
Venom (prob U)
Electro
Maggia thugs
Mysterio (aka Perplex man)
and hopefully a U Aunt May!

loki spiderman 2099
war machine stronger iceman
gladiator moonknight
ant man 2 usa agent
kraven cloak /dagger
morbious punnisher
any alpha flight capt britian
omega red mr sinister and his followers followers
the four horseman hob goblin 2 or 3
morlock team ability with morlocks morph/evil morph
secretwarrior
03/24/2003, 12:19
yeah spidey expansion would be cool
ESPECIALLY if they made a twisted toyare theater version spiderman as a unique!
he'd have the power of not giving a carp!!!
oh yeah and a few X villians would be nice, maybe sinister or omega red
OR hows about a USAgent w/ AE Crossbones?
Well,
I think we'd all agree that if Wizkids want to keep us happy the next set will be Spiderman-based with a smattering of gap-fillers. I think the U Green Goblin in Xplosion being the Ultimate variety pretty much confirms this move, and I'd say we'll get a nice surprise of something obvious like:
1. Ben (Spidey), Maestro (Hulk), Patch? (wolverine), Elektra (painted blue this time? Orange? Sheesh...)
2. Venom, Ghost Rider, Namor, Carnage, Green Goblin, Cardiac (weak low level), Firestar, Stix and Stone?, Elektro, Mysterio, and some of the small guys like Rhino, Knockout, Tarantula, Kane, etc.
3. Fillers like: SILVER SURFER (please god), Punisher, Angel, Archangel, Dazzler and Longshot, forge and/or Banshee, Morbius, Cloak and Dagger?, Lilandra, Zemo, and maybe even Aunt May!
Generics anyone? Morlocks? Mutates? Genoshan magistrates and medics? Multiple men?
My two (pennies)
Casby the speculative ghost
Hey!
Just realised, if they threw Bastion in the next set then having those nifty human-sentinel guys as generics would ROCK!

You guys are forgetting that they definitly need the best spidey character of all, U J. Jonah Jameson!!!!!!!!!
darius_dax1
03/24/2003, 13:12
Some of the more major characters not yet done:
Angel/Archangel
Bishop
Wonder Man
Namor
Silver Surfer
Banshee
Ghost Rider
Punisher
Power Man (Luke Cage)
Iron Fist
Black Bolt (and other Inhumans)
Songbird (and other original T-Bolts)
Captain Mar-Vell
Mole Man
Baron Zemo
Baron Strucker
Mr. Sinister
The Wrecking Crew
The Absorbing Man
The Grey Gargoyle
Falcon and Redwing
Also, Wiz Kids could make R/E/V versions of Unique only characters. I would like to see the Vision, Nick Fury, and Nightcrawler.
Ian_Cormack
03/24/2003, 13:20
instead of the powerpack, why not powerhouse ? He was cool and had all the power pack powers for himself ! He'd be a great figure
I think that Jon L expresses a complete LACK of interest in Power Pack, not the other way around.
Oh, and I think Namor is almost a lock for the next set.
CquinnO27
03/24/2003, 15:18
Do you mean Namor is a lock for the next st xplosion? or the next set after that?
xplosion is less of a xmen set, and more of a xmen, daredevil, hulk set.
the next set will probably be spidey based- which means we'll have
another spiderman- this time r/e/v
thats almost a given, and this is fine- spideys marvels boy, hes fun to play, and if he's differnt enough from the others, ill be happy.
spidey baddies may include
rhino -inv, charge, ss
mysterio- MC?, perplex,sc
chameleon- sc
electro- ee
original green goblin
kraven the hunter-???
the lizard
dr morbius
venom
vermin
as for spidey goodies
powerman and iron fist- both of which should be on the spidey team as they wont make a heros for hire team
superfriend
03/25/2003, 08:40
My votes:
Cable, Deadpool, Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider, Rhino.
WakandaMan
03/25/2003, 08:52
Well I remember JonL saying in an interview that he'd love to do Power Man and Iron Fist. They could definitely go on the rumored list.
Surely Namor must be in the next set. The lack of Defenders is ridiculous. Okay, I know we get a Beast and an Iceman, but that's still only 4. Plenty more to choose from:
Nighthawk, Hellcat, Valkyrie, Gargoyle, Dr. Druid and of course Silver Surfer.
I'd guess Venom next. He's one of the most wanted Spidey-related fig's (will he have a version in Spidey team? Doubt it)
darius_dax1
03/25/2003, 09:01
I would like to see golden/silver age marvel (and DC) hero-clix.
LIke the original Iceman (as snowman)
Beast (un-furry)
Iron Man (gold-bulky armor)
Daredevil (yellow and black)
Thing (lumpy rock form)
iceman was a defender?
as to that pb comment, domino would be a possibility
(some mime-wannabe girl from x-something or other)
Zekeup32
03/26/2003, 17:42
I would bet on the next expansion including
Angel: Only Original X-man not made.
Archangel: Definatly a Unique
Punisher: Huge Fan Base
Namor: Need more defenders
Silver Surfer: Gotta have some powerhouse
Spider-Man: Expect at least one a set
Thats all for now.
Wait nm, also expect at least 1 or 2 Ulitimate Clix, dont know who yet, but I would bet on one being a Captain America. (The original is horrible)
falcarrion
03/26/2003, 23:24
I would suspect it will be avengers / defenders based.
The combo would be great. But like other sets you will see some spider enimies, xmen and hopefully a nex Cap.
The generics I would like to see are Navy seals, Comandos, mercs etc...
I'd like to see some Hydra or A.I.M. agents with hand to hand capabilities

03/31/2003, 02:03
Skrull cow. Hmm.
...sorry. I got distracted there.
The Power Pack seems like a weird rumor. Not that they'd be unwelcome, but we're only getting about 34-35 new characters with each set, ignoring generics. Why would they use up 4 (3? 5? how the hell many are there?) precious spaces on a team that has little or no relevance to Marvel's current output? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the more obscure characters, but comitting to a whole team of them seems very far-fetched.
Paradox Factor
03/31/2003, 02:44
Well, here's my guesses:
Longshot-We got Mojo and Spiral, plus he's a PCed. Personaly, I was very suprised he wasn't in Xplosion.
Antman-He and Yellowjacket both had LEs and YJ got produced. Plus, it let's them throw another Fantastic Four member in (Not Pym, Scott Lang, the current one).
Angel-Everyone else already covered him.
Baron Zemo-His masked mug has been in every set so far and he's MIA. And as someone else said, he'd fit as a new Cap's AE
Venom-Venom is still one of Spidey's most popular villians. IIRC, he placed 3rd or 4th on in a poll on the Marvel website on what villian you want to see in the first Spider-Man movie. (Green Goblin was 1st, Doc Octopus was 2nd, and Lizard was 3rd or 4th). BTW, if we see Venom, Carnage will most likely be his AE.
Silver Surfer, Namor-More Defenders please. Personaly, I think the Surfer is a little more likely then Namor.
I'm all for more Defenders: Namor, Surfer, Valkyrie, Gargoyle...
cyberglum
03/31/2003, 17:15
Out of any figure, I think I'd like to see Captain America justified. Man he's one of the 'Big Three', just compare his point value with Thor and Iron Man...

Expect one Hulk, Elektra, Wolverine, and Daredevil in every set, too. I wish I could shoot the moron who came up with that idea.
Hulk and Spidey are the only ones who don't get old with the, "put me in every set", idea. Hulk has had many incarnations, looks, and powers. Spidey is the same. Wolverine is BCF, wow, BCF again...wow.
Daredevil and Elektra are some of my all time most boring Marvel characters. Just my opinion, but I never saw why they were popular.
Zekeup32
03/31/2003, 23:41
Corpse, I do agree with the thoughts of a spider-man, hulk, and a wolverine in each expansion, but I swear if I see another incarnation of elektra I am going to be very, very, very dissapointed with Wiz Kids. Also Daredevil, how much can you change him from time to time, if you are going to make a new one, at least make it a unique, so I don't have to pull 20 of him. Daredevil also has 2 other costumes then just straight red, use one. Personally I would like to see the original Yellow costume. I feel Wiz Kids is making one of these figs per set is because they are probably the most well know of all the heroes to the general public (Daredevil and Elektra only because of a movie that came out with them in it.)
Wiz Kids if there is one thing you do in the next expansion, just make sure that it is keeping Elektra out of it. Daredevil will be ok as long as he is a unique with a different costume.

they still can make a agent xyz or whatever they own the likeness just not the name no big diff change his height inch taller weight 10 pounds muscler eyey color hair color instead of black red costume blue black voila done same guy same powers diff name
Bluebeard
04/01/2003, 00:20
My top 5 I'd hope they put in would be Punisher, Ghost Rider, Loki, Jubilee, and Rhino. War Machine would be a good choice too though, and perhaps another Toad. (Unique maybe.)
Zekeup32
04/01/2003, 00:26
Wow, that was very difficult to understand, but I think I get the jist of it.
Good point, I just dont think it would be the same to have an Agent X, when we should be getting a true blue, out of the comics, wise cracking Deadpool. It just wont be the same, so I hope Wiz Kids lets Deadpool rest in peace, instead of slaping some corney name, and different costume on him.
petenbailey9
04/01/2003, 00:40
I wouldn't mind a set called the Vault it could include
Volcana
Wrecking crew
Electro
Beetle
Rhino
Hydro-Man
Batroc
Lizard
Absorbing man
Tombstone
Myterio
Force
Anaconda
Cobra
Sidewinder
and then maybe for generics you could have gaurdsmen
And for those work on the shadey side of the law
Punisher
Silver Sable
Shroud
cloak n' dagger
just a thought
CarlosMucha
04/01/2003, 01:07
1 Defender: Silver Sulfer!
1 X-men: Angel!
1 Avenger: Wonder-man
1 Spider-Man: Ben Really
1 Kree: Cap Marvel (classic)
1 Hulk: Bruce banner (smart of Marvel Vs DC)!!

04/01/2003, 01:09
I dowbt the next set will be Spidey related. A spidey set won't be released untill the movie sequel hits theaters in may of 2004. A supervillian set would be nice but I think the only safe prediction is that the next set will not be Spidey related.
My guess is it will be a Spiderman based set. There aren't too many longtime Avengers left to really sell a set. The Black Knight is a pretty big omission considering how long he has been involved with the team, and Captain Marvel/Photon and Namor have certainly done their time.A Hank Pym Yellowjacket/Ant man/Goliath would be better represented outside his current LE only status. You could certainly make arguements for several other characters, but there aren't many others who were really around for a long time.
I don't think there are enough headlining Defenders that they will focus a set on them. It just doesn't have enough marketing power. That said, I would love to see a set based on them, Alpha Flight, and the Invaders.
Spiderman has a ton of long time villains left unmade: The original Green Goblin, Kraven, Mysterio, the Lizard and Venom to name the big ones, and plenty of smaller scale guys like the Shocker, Tarantula, Carrion, Wraith, Jack O Lantern, Rhino.... man that is just a few, some more obscure than others. We are running out of allies for him , though I've seen a few threads out there with some ideas. So due to the sheer number of "name" characters left in Spidey's world vs the Avengers or Defenders, my money is on Web Head. Good chance they may hold that set till his next movie comes out though.
GreenLantern04
04/01/2003, 01:51
I'm not really that deep into marvel... so... what exactly was the deal with Deadpool? What happened to him, and when did it happen?
Someone actulaay put Jubilee in their top 5? HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sorry, got that out of my system.
I think Iron Fist and Powerman are locks for the Rumor list.
Add Absorbing man, Wonderman, Rhino, and Warbird (one of the few female characters with any notoriety left.) Firestar, Polaris fit there, too. Angel seems likely, as does Falcon, with his recent rejoining of the Avengers and expanded powers.
Zekeup32
04/01/2003, 23:25
Greenlantern: Rob Liefieild (I'm pretty sure) owns the rights to Deadpool and Cable I think. I don't know when it happened but untill Marvel comes up with some money to buy it from him we wont be seeing a Deadpool clix anytime soon.
Hope that helps. Also Im not 100% sure on my info so if someone can confirm it that would be cool.
Anyone else think this set will be another large set, like IC? I do.

w/all of these bad guys running around you think that we could get the green guys known as V.A.U.L.T.S. have no idea what it means but seen them in spidy comics.:p :p :p :p
then like to see Nimrod,GG, Venom, Aunt may, Kraven, Stilts, Dark Hawk, silver sable, Spider Slayer. Master Mold, Havok, Mr Sinister, Hydro Man, J.J., Punks, SHEILD Jet Packs,
Why does anyone want Aunt May? It isn't like she can fight, and the purpose of this game IS to fight. Don't waste spots on non-combatants in a combat game!
JokerBrad2002
04/02/2003, 22:38
mmmmmmm..rumors...
I would like to see the following in the next Marvel Expansion:
Angel
Punisher
Falcon
Namor
I know everyone has mentioned the above, but I have yet to see anyone bring up my favorite team...
The Guardians of The Galaxy!!!
think about it..Vance Astro with Captain America's shield
Yondu is a much better archer than Hawkeye
Charlie -27 for strength like the Thing
you could even include Kree soldiers for those who want pogues
this would be a great expansion
CyberVenom
04/02/2003, 22:40
She'd be a great figure for a "Save ______" scenerio game, that's why. I think if they make her (or any other non-fighter) there should be some rules about not allowing them to fight, or give them a special colored ring (green?).
Anyhoo, I'm guessing it'll be either a Spider-Man themed set if it's a small set, (ala CT and XP) or Secret Wars set if it's antoher large set.

TheFreak
04/03/2003, 20:01
If they make characters like Flash Thompson, Jameson, Aunt May or Mary Jane, they need to put them in special scenarios packs like the Item kits. I would get sick of pulling her over and over and over. (sorry that was mentioned before, i didn't feel like read 62 posts!)

I hopr never to see over half the people on this list. This is a rumor list, not a wish list. Check the Expansion wishlist 5.0
Manchine
04/03/2003, 21:32
Wow you gave half. I was thinking more I wouldnt want to see about 9/10ths of those anytime in the near furture.
I am trying to be nice. I would only like to see Havok, Polaris, Cannonball, and Banshee out of the whole list. Captain Britian and Sunspot wouldn't be bad.
The rest are better left in X-limbo.
Zekeup32
04/03/2003, 21:44
Hate to dissapoint you two, but expect to see probably 1/2 of those in future expansions. Your just gonna have to view them as figs like Mr Hyde and such.
I can view them from far away, because I won't buy them. I hope they are all together, so I can skip an expansion.
Zekeup32
04/03/2003, 21:57
Nope, probably not. Your just gonna have to use them as trade bait.
Probably. Or in Jubilee's case, magic magnifying glass target.

Geez ... destiny is a non-combatant ....
Unless your the kind of player who only uses big bruisers in heroclix ...there are uses for an Aunt May.
How about a Aunt
May that ... lets say ... cost 2 points. She has one click of life and has an affiliation of spiderman team. You've just used up some extra points in a character that can be a blocker, or used to tie up a character for a turn .. your using points that you had left over anyways.
C'mon ... who here wants to see a game where Aunt May ties up Ultron in time for her nephew Ptere to escape. :p

04/03/2003, 22:02

We probable wont even see quarter of those. Mr. Hyde is a great villian. I will take him any day over most of those characters. To be exact 9/10's of the figs.

I think it'd be cool to see a U. Sgt. Fury from back when he was with his Howlin' Commandos. As far as characters who have a legitimate chance, my top 5 are...
Havok
Angel
Mr. Sinister (U)
Venom (U)
Punisher
My most wanted is a new Magneto, appropriately powered of course! (Dr. Doom is 198, he's gotta be 200+. I don't want this to come across as anti-Dr. Doom, seeing as though he's one of my fav. figures to use in Heroclix, as well as my fav. villain. I just think that my second fav. villain...Magneto, obviously, needs to be made to strike fear into any single opponent.)
I actually thought (though know it won't happen) that it'd be cool to have a big fig of sorts of Magneto. You could make a clear plastic bubble with Magneto fig inside (a la Sinestro) and give him special rules because, let's face it...TELEKINESIS DOESN'T CUT IT FOR THE MASTER OF MAGNETISM! [end of whining...for now]

Giant-Man
Warlock
Pip

Guardians of the Galaxy - lame but fun!
Magik & Warlock

Fandral, Heimdall, Volstagg, Balder, & SIF!!
Plus there's a whole mess of alternate reality characters to try:
Bamfs!
Lil Wolvie
X-Brats!
The Medieval Avengers!
Of course, I could be mistaken ... but in your heart of hearts you know I'm not!
Eboladude, I like your list. But, I think the first list that precipitated this whole post is hilarious! A Power-Pack set of clix! Oh, that would be the end of the entire HC line! I can see it now: toddlers toddling around the map with rce, ee, invul.! I wouldn't want to play anymore, babies scare me......

There was a preview of a Punisher movie slated for next summer that ran before the Hulk, so I would expect ol' Frank to show up in this set, too.

I know it's a vain hope, but since the X-men list is currently 51 people and the Defenders is 4, I'd be just as happy to let any even vaguely B list Mutants wait for a long long time.
I mean come on, enough mutants.
X-men: 51
Brotherhood: 28
Avengers: 23
Doom: 18
Fantastic Four: 17
Masters of Evil: 16
Sinsiter Syndicate: 16
Spider-Man: 6
Defenders: 4
I didn't include Shield/Hydra since those teams tend to pick up a lot of headway from Scrub troops. Considering how many truly great characters are still out there for the "headline" teams, like Namor, well, other than Angel, I say ditch the mutants for a while.

Check out my thread:
http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?goto=newpost&threadid=51580
Enough with all the "extra" mutants until some of the other teams are filled out some more. I'd be happy with an Angel to fill out the original X-Men for now and save all those extra "Morlocks, Reavers, Horsemen, etc. etc.", fringe x-characters for more meaningful characters from other teams. I'm not agains the X-Men or anything, I think it will just be nicer to move on to characters found in other Marvel books. And again like in my thread above, if there are seriously only 2 more sets to come, do you really think Wizkids would waste all those slots to bring you Alpha Flight, or Power Pack, or Morlocks, sacrificing well known characters like Namor, Venom, Punisher, etc. that would then never be made? Unless Marvel pulled the carpet right from under Wizkids without any notice, I'd highly doubt it.
Thoughts?

Omega Red simply for flexibility as a wildcard. There are many Doom team
members that have absolutely nothing to do with Doom.
Archangel as brotherhood to reflect Apocalypses' short period of influence.

I don't think Black Bolt was ever a FF member... Medusa actually was, I don't think FF is the catch-all for Inhumans...
voNvinGeLimeR
07/07/2003, 23:08
Simply a means of keeping the Inhumans connected on some
level as well as fleshing out a team with limited real members.
If your knowledge dates back to earlier Lee/Kirby FF stories you
would know the Inhumans are as connected to the FF as anyone
and they wouldn't fit under any other team umbrella as well.
I'll bet you the way Wizkids handles these things when/if a Blackbolt
is created, you'll find a lil' blue 4 on his base.
As for Archangel, free movement from the only naughty mutant team
ability, for a naughty mutant connected with Apoc just makes sense.
As I said when people said Colossus should be Brotherhood: a brief time in a team that is not Brotherhood, when the majority of his time as Archangel has been spent as a Xman, is not going to qualify him for that team. He should be X-men as Archangel. Only the E version of Angel should be Defenders, like Beast and Iceman. The rest should be X-men.

E Beast should have been an avenger. He was only a defender for what? a year or two. If WK wanted to flesh out the Defenders they had a lot to choose from.

What are the chances that wizkids will introduce a new team ability? The have introduced new powers for clobbering time so why not a new inhumans team ability.
Heimdall
07/08/2003, 07:48
Jon L said there won't be no new teams. And as we know the the next expansion is already finished by him and not Jeff Grubb, new TA will show up next year, later or never.
If it is an avengers based set it should include more members of the MOE to even out the points or the numbers of members. So it would be likely to see:
Absorbing Man
Wrecking Crew
Radioactive Man
Tiger Shark
Moonstone
Zemo
and maybe Egghead and/or rookie version of Wonder Man.

I could have seen the rookie blue, furry Beast as an Avenger, with the E as a Defender (which lasted for a long time, several years) and X-men on the Vet. Then a Unique of a furless Beast, like Unique Cyclops with Xmen.

Surely an obvious way of encapsulating a lot of classic characters would be a Secret Wars-oriented set: it gives you Spidey stuff, the Venom symbiote, Avengers, Madame Web and whole host of villains, some F4 (a way of gettting a classic Thing, or possibly a unique flame-off Johnny - or even a useful Invisible Woman), and my all-time favourite marvel villain, The Lizard in both R/E/V villain and Unique of the good ol' doc. Personally, I'd like to see a War Machine as well, but then I'm strange - ah the joy, of the Marvel Action hour!
Also, at UK GenCon this year, a WizKids demoer mentioned that the plan at that time was to have Aunt May (and Alfred, amongst others) as single-click civilian counters a la Crimson Skies mooks, as part of the map sets.
Angel
Baron Zemo
Loki

Im sick and tired of hearing people dream, and wish, and whine, and long for freaking x-men/brotherhood/mutants and freaking spider-man villians. I really am. I don'tt think hardley any of those characters desearve to be in the game more than characters such as mephisto, In-humans, ghost rider, namor, terrax the destroyer, an original green and white suit captain mar-vell(quasar doesnt cut it), howard the duck, man-thing, vengence, galactus(not gonna happen), and of course the surfer. These characters need to be in the game to make marvel heroclix truley marvel heroclix and not mutant clix, or carnage, venom, mysterio, and lizard clix

Ok, bit of Scyre news:) Next set is due out in November sometime<<which fits with what they pulled last year with DC in september, Minions in October and Clobbering time in November.
I just hope this doesn't mean we have to wait until next summer for some more DC pieces.
Or later, considering their throwing in HC Indyclix pieces.
I would like to see DC in Feb-March following the Marvel in November. A rotation of the 3 would be great.

According to the WizKids panel at Sandy Eggo Comic-Con, which included Jordan W and Jon L, the new Marvel set is called Critical Mass and will feature cosmic characters. Put Silver Surfer on the Rumored list. Punisher will not be in this one, but is definitely coming up.
Moriarty
07/21/2003, 06:09
Hmm. Does anyone else think that means that they'll hold off the big Spidey set till the next movie, or at least to tie-in with Punisher? And presumably, that means that WK have got a follow-up deal with Marvel for more sets. Let's see what happens this weekend coming, I guess.

On the Cap point....I was wondering how many more Ultimate characters are going to turn-up. We had Spider-man and The Green Goblin from the Ultimate Universe in Xplosion, maybe we'll get more. Wizkids certainly seem to be boing this with the sets, including Unique figs from both teh Ultimate line for Marvel and the Elseworlds stuff doe DC.
An Ultimate Captain America would be good Wizkids...

Hulk and Spidey are the only ones who don't get old with the, "put me in every set", idea. Hulk has had many incarnations, looks, and powers. Spidey is the same. Wolverine is BCF, wow, BCF again...wow.
Daredevil and Elektra are some of my all time most boring Marvel characters. Just my opinion, but I never saw why they were popular.

Hulk and spidey will have ni-endless variations. daredevil and elektra...c'mon really...please stop making these...PLEASE

silver surfer u
drax the destoyer u
warbird r/e/v (ms marvel/binary)
gamora u (for a female fig)
starfox r/e/v
capt marvel r/e/v

minions of doom
moonstone (master of evil on r/e) female fig
unaffiliated
hulk u
ok theres my 2 cents
clixhunter- that is a great list. Don't forget a Defender tag on Silver Surfer, he should have one. And Namor could have Avengers on his Vet.

There are several Avengers that are missing
1) JAck of Hearts
2) Firestar
3) Justice
4) Falcon
5) Photon (female Captian Marvel)
can't see why they shouldn't include Ghost rider in the set ...
And maybe ... just maybe ... they will release a giant set of 3 figures of Eternity , Death and Galactus ... just waiting and hoping :)
Eternity and Death are not even close to being playable in Heroclix. They would be 10,000 point figures that had 50 clicks and did 14 clicks of damage per shot, plus Impervious the entire dial and PC to reroll those missed Imp. rolls. Galactus is more likely, but as a high cost (800+) point figure.
Gargantua
08/10/2003, 09:45
I do hope that they go with a more cosmic theme, especially for the generics. I'm getting tired of seeing stuff like the SWAT guys that we saw last turn when there's a whole galaxy of alien races untapped.
Just remember though that the last DC set was supposedly "Cosmic-themed" as well, and some were disappointed with how few of the figures turned out to be cosmic. At least we know we're getting a Surfer. Hard to get more cosmic than that.
To Loganz
Intresting a Hulk eating beannie weenies. 5 clix normal attack and RCE for 24 spaces. Hmm could work.
Redwolf
Brotherhood could benefit from... a Mr. Sinister fig
no Omega Red??
Venom is sort of cosmic too... Starjammers

I think a good Wolvie unique would fit the feral, would be a bone claws wolverine with the bandana over his face. He could be cheaper, have Flurry and Blades, but less Regen, since at that point his healing factor was very taxed. No stealth and battle fury to reflect his berserker nature.
Angel should be rookie X-men basic taxi, with possibly RCE because of the bazooka he toted. Exp would be Defender, and Vet could be X-men with Support to represent his healing ability that he has recently gained. Apoc Archangel should be Unique.
And one other character that could have a multitude of different powers depending on the version would be Legion. That would open the door for AoA Weapon X, X-man, or Magneto as leader of the X-men. That would be an appropriately powered Magneto!

08/12/2003, 15:12
Cosmic Spidey would be cool. I would say it should be the version where he is not aware of his powers so that he is not too powerful. If it was the full strength version it would cost way too much.
Same thing with a Galactus. It would have to be a weakened hungry version just barely living in order to give the heroes a fighting chance.
But yes for sure, Cosmic Spidey would be awesome!
They've already announced a leaping spidey so you'll have to wait for captain universe spidey.

Badges2, you are almost guaranteed to be right about those figs.
In case any of you don't already know, if I'm not mistaken, the licensing agreement that Marvel signed with WizKids requires WizKids to include some form of the Hulk, Wolverine, Elektra, and Spiderman in each set. Why? They are obviously the most popular, but why would Marvel make them agree to that...?

I think that a Nomad or a U.S. Agent might be cool. I definately think that Cap should be revamped, and probably pumped up. I know that Nomad is not a cool Cap, but what other Caps can you do? Earth X, maybe? The Ultimate Cap doesn't seem to look much different, although I respect his character.
I want COSMIC SPIDERMAN (yes I know he's not going to be in CM but I want him anyways)

On the marvel map set printed is a figure that looks like a gargoyle. Its a very light image. could this be the gargoyle from the defenders. at first i thought it was DC's etrigan but that would be a big mistake. is this a clue about a future fig?

If you're referring to the back of the Marvel package, that's the Ultimate Green Goblin, not The Gargoyle (although that's who I'd use if I were doing a mod :) )

Just saw the first photo for Critical Mass (at the ####### site - easy enough to find via Google by looking for "Heroclix" and "Icon") and I'm really happy about the Silver Surfer.
I'll have to customize my Hulk for his pink bunny slippers, tho. Because really. if you're gonna do it, might as well do it right.
Boneyard is the man when Boneyard says its confirmed you can count on it (A Long History of Accuracy). Other then that it is just a rumor.
I checked that ICON place and the Brood figs were confirmed but no Cap Marvel...boo hoo :(

The "rumor" list looks Spidey heavy however. That will be the next list since Spidey II and Punisher comes out in the first half of 2004.
Oh and Logan- enough of the Cosmic Spidey. E-mail Wizards...they'll do it.
Speaking of Wizard...will this mean a Silver Surfer release at about 236 points?
Hypersonic, Super Strength, Invulnibilty and Support with RCE.
4 damage throughout the twelve clix...236 or did I say 400pts?

I echo Noman's sentiments. If the set even comes close to this list, I'll be thrilled with it. The only thing I'm real skeptical of is the bit about Brood, Kree and Shi'ar all being in the set. Given how resistant they've been to "alien" generics so far (at most 2 per set) I'd be surprised if so many of the new set's generics are non-humans. Happy, but surprised.
I was going to pick out some highlights to mention, but there are just too many. This is a dream list for someone who grew up with late 70's and 80's Marvel.

I really can't see a Hellstorm being made. I can't remember the last time he appeared (and I am a fan of the character). In addition this game is supposed to be accessible to kids and I don't think parents want to see a trident toting guy called Hellstorm in little Johnny's hands.

I'd rather have a unique Howard the Duck than these four.
Why not the Star Jammers or some other "useful" group? Out of decades of heros to choose from these have got to be some of the worst ones that they ever came up with in the 80's. What's next DP7, Psi-Force or Spitfire? Ahhhhhhhhh!!:ermm:

I kinda hope Power Pack is made, simply so I can pit Gee, Lightwave, Energizer and Mass Master against, oh, Annihilus. Hee hee hee.
Again, Boneyard, I hope you're filtering the credible sources from the loons. Because I'm anticipating this set more than ANY of the expansions this side of Clobberin' Time, mostly because I'm a huge FF fan. I was let down with the lack of FF-related 'Clix in CT (opposed to X-related 'Clix in Xplosion), but the hopes of Sub-Mariner, Molecule Man, Ronan the Accuser, Kree, Power Man and even Gladiator joining the Silver Surfer are awesome. I'd like Terrax, Nova and Air-Walker sometime, too.
Having another three or four Avengers is sweet, too (especially if Captain Marvel is Monica Rambeau)... not to mention more Avengers-related adversaries like Wrecker, Baron Zemo, Absorbing Man and Nebula.
I think this set looks pretty balanced, if the rumors pan out. I kinda hope there are only three or four Spidey-related 'Clix at the most, because I hear the next set following might be Spidey-related. And then those fans will have it made.
And what about Mole Man? Wasn't he a rumored dude?

Boneyard's always been careful about checking sources before adding names to the list. I'll bet this turns out to be at least 80% accurate.

Her name is Photon, not Captain Marvel. Marvel realized this horrendous mistake and finally fixed it.
CoolJerk
08/25/2003, 23:56
re: Captain Marvel/Photon
Oh, I know she's called "Photon" now. Monica called me herself with the news what, 10 years ago? I was dead-set against it but hey - it's her life.
I was just going off of the Boneyard post #188 which says "Captain Marvel/Photon." You know, name change via experience a la Invisible Girl/Invisible Woman and Boom Boom/Meltdown. Calling a 'Clix "Captain Marvel" could denote Mar-Vell, Genis-Vell or Monica Rambeau... but the only one who was officially made an Avenger (so far) is Monica.
I don't know if Boneyard's source made the distinction of which "Captain Marvel" it is rumored to be in Critical Mass. Maybe s/he said "Captain Marvel - the hot chick" or "the Avenger" or "Photon." Maybe there was no distinction. But if it's Monica then I'm very happy.
That reminds me. I haven't called her in a while. Maybe we should hook up and have some jambalaya.
Genis-Vell was made an avenger in Avengers Forever.
Marvell was an honorary Avenger, and Rambeau wasn't worthy of the name, so CJ, please tell her that when you are at Tipitina's together down here, chere'.

08/26/2003, 10:39
Looking over the rumored list, I'd say that Gamora and possibly Drax will not be included unless Adam Warlock is also included. With Drax it may not matter, but what use is there having Gamora without Adam? It'd be like having Pip without him. ::prepares for angry Gamora response::
Inuyasha
08/26/2003, 11:37
The list Bonedog posted sounds very well put together and full of popular figures (Venom, Captain America, Wonder Man) full of slightly obscure power houses (The Destroyer armour, Drax the Destroyer) and some fan favouites. Me I'm glad to see Gladiator on the list. He should be amazing.
The list does seem to match the theme with lots of Cosmic Heroes in it and I hope it's true.
But the best part of the list seems to be it has lots of Team Members.
Avengers get Captain America, Wonder Man,Starfox, Photon, Namor (He might be a Beast and not have Avengers membership, but he'll see play in Avengers teams.) and Warbird.
Fantastic Four might get Namor, Power Man (I assume Luke Cage.) Surfer and some of the other Cosmics. (It's difficult to tell with the FF.)
I'd say Iron Fist, Silver Sable, Power Man and maybe Venom will be Team Spidey.
The Lethal Foes of Spidey get a big boost in this set with Rhino,Lizard,Electro, Mysterio,Shocker,Kraven the Hunter AND Venom. Sweet.
Defenders will field Surfer, Namor, Valkerie and Damion Hellstrom.
Baron Zemo, Moonstone, Wrecker, Absoarbing Man, Molecule Man will increase the Masters of Evil ranks.
All this and one or two X-Men(Angel, maybe some Shi'ar) and plenty of Unafiliated.
Yes this set looks different from Cosmic Justice in that, the boosters won't be crammed with annoying/useless characters.
Heimdall
08/26/2003, 11:50
What i find interesting is when we check the characters from the list and compare it to the statement that there are stronger characters than Surfer. Let us take the mightiest characters from the list: Drax, Molecule Man, Mephisto, Ronan, Brood Queen, Gladiator, Wonderman, Nebula and Absorbing Man. I think there are at least two who cand be made that they would stand a fight against Surfer.
Heimdall
P.S.: Has anyone an idea what Starfox could be like, because i never saw him do anything else then the 3 F's: Flying, flirting, failing.
Inuyasha
08/26/2003, 13:47
Starfox could charm people into doing stuf, so he might have Mind Control.
He was charming and swarve so might have some Perplex or Enhancment. (like Psylock.)
In one issue of Captain Marvel he lifted a Window with TK, so he might have TK.
As an Eternal he's Stronger and Tougher then humans so Super Strength adn Toughness? Plus Eternal's are very hard to kill and might get some Regenerate.
Mephisto,Brood Queen,Drax the Destroyer,Ronan the Accusor, Gladiator,Nebula,Molecule Man have all fought and done well against the Surfer at various times.
The Destroyer armour once killed Thor, so he's got enough power to fight the Surfer.
DYK:The Destroyer armour used to be a Herald for Galactus.

I can't speak for annoying, as that's a personal opinion. I will say I'm looking forward to almost all the characters on the list, but then I liked most of the CJ characters as well. As for useless, wait until you see the figures before you say there won't be any useless ones. The Ronan the Accuser that everyone's real happy about may turn out to be the next Kang. You know there are always a couple in every set.
boneyard
08/28/2003, 03:16
Just a reminder to everyone that there is a reason why there is a rumored/confirmed distinction to this list.
The characters that are listed under rumored are still just rumored.
I will only move a character over to the confirmed when I KNOW it will be on the list. (There's now actually a couple of rumored characters that I'm still trying to triple-check to see if I should move them over...)
I just don't want everyone to be disappointed/mad if not all of these characters show up. :)
This "not wanting to disappoint" is why Wizkids never posts the final list until so late in the game.
Boneyard, thanks for all your work in compiling this information. I think everybody on this board appreciates your efforts. All I can say is I'm very happy with the list so far. With Power Man and Iron Fist as rumored figures it is hard to be disappointed. I've been hoping they would consider making these two for a while. Now if they ever do a Shang Chi, Master of Kung Fu, I'll be really excited. Critical Mass looks like it will be a good set overall filling in alot of the missing pieces that people have been looking for.

Don't get me wrong man I understand where you're coming from, it's just I, and people I've talked to, fealt Cosmic Justice was an awful set.We just seemed to get repeats of the same characters (the Legionairs, Poision Ivy, Sargent Rock, Manhunters, Lex Corp security.) and very few figures we wanted (Wonder Woman, Starman, Penguins.)
With past sets I could buy a box, and be confident I'd get at least one figure out of it that I wanted/would use.
Since this has little to do with the topic at hand I'll stop discussing it and go back on topic.
We understand th risks Boneyard and how we are setting ourselves up for disapointment, but I would like to say the list that you presented looks very ballanced, and I hope it's very similar to the one that we'll see come December.

08/29/2003, 16:42
Okay where did this Power Pack Information come from because it is making me very happy, and a lot of you are saying this if going to be a big spider-man set. To me it looks like an 80s, very early 90s set. Especially if the news of Power Pack is correct. Look at the Wolverine and Spider-Man, and I believe that Hulk is from the Early 90s...its just a guess. And Wizkids if you are reading we need a MAGIK fromt he New Mutants, not to mention the rest of the team...please.
My list of hopefuls is small but the charecters I have always liked.
PUNISHER
Silver Surfer
Jack O' Hearts
Cloak & Dagger U (two figures intertwined on one base)
Rhino
3-D Man
Wonderman
NAMOR
Moon Knight
Rocket Racoon
Ghost Rider U
Night Thrasher
Just joking about 3-D Man, Rocket Racoon, and Night Thrasher
My list of hopefuls is small but the characters I have always liked.
PUNISHER
Silver Surfer
Jack O' Hearts
Cloak & Dagger U (two figures intertwined on one base)
I heard some hints at Dragoncon about there being more heralds of Galactus in this new set (not just Silver Surfer). I'm not familiar with all the heralds, though.
The reason for the heralds is that there was also a hint that the next big figure is going to be Galactus.
Other Heralds would include Airwalker and the automation(which had the same powers), Terrax, Morg, Nova II, and the Destroyer armor. We already have Firelord and a confirmed Silver Surfer.
i heard from two people(one to trust) that besides the hulk,spidy,serfer,and wolvie. they are going to have lots of spidie bad guys,heralds,and new group characters like Exiles and the missing x men Jubille, Angel/arc. bishiop, sage, thunderbird, cannonball alot of them from xtreame x men and also some from unltimate avengers, these are from a friend of mine who works for wiskids, this is a rumor so dont hold me to it but if his info is true its gonna be one hell of a ride...
o yeah also a zemo to be added

Man I wish they would make a filter for people who can't spell correctly (except for Ray RayJ - his is intentional)
If your friend works for WizKids then he isn't telling you what their coming out with because they sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement meaning that if he were to tell what's upcoming from WizKids and they happened to find out they would fire him faster than a bullet leaving a gun . . . and then some more stuff would happen along those lines.
As for figures I'd like to see:
Terrax
Silver Surfer (already confirmed)
Air Walker (either)
Nova
Aunt May
Carnage
Venom
Lizard
Ultimates (any)
Black Knight (Avengers)
Cersi (Avengers)
Swordsman (Avengers)
a ton of others, but I don't really have the time to name them all. Either way I can't wait until they start giving us our tastes of new figs for Critical Mass . . . can't wait until then, I suppose, I will and I will happily read my Avengers vs. JLA (comes out tomorrow)
Cat
Why anyone would want to waste a spot on the 96 with Aunt May doesn't make sense. Especially with the maps with tokens for the NON-COMBATANTS like Aunt May. WK, keep up the good work by leaving useless clix out.
EyeWackett
09/03/2003, 22:24

Once translated, it is plainly stated that besides the 4 on the picture, that is a RUMORED list.

Nope, there's a Starfox in the Marvel Universe who predates Fox McCloud :) Starfox is a member of the race of beings known as the Eternals, and was once a member of the Avengers. From what I remember, he is able to manipulate the emotions of others.

The excitement for Critical Mass keeps a-growin', meanwhile I am going to add character from the Italian list. Keep in mind, these international site have a bad habit for "falling" for fan-made lists, and there's a few things about it that don't ring true (Power Man but no Iron Fist?) and a couple that do. Who knows? But then again we did get the Indy clix list pretty early on and it was correct so I'm willing to wait a see...

Who's Impossible man?? Only one of the funniest FF "villian" to ever show up. Think Batmite or Mr Myxlplyx but as a green and purple alien that can change shape.
If only this list were true. I've been wanting an Impy since I got into the game.

Starfox was also a sort of step-father to Genis and raised him for some time.

11 clicks of Plasticity,Invulnerability, and incapacitate(4 bolts).
You can't hurt him or get away from him and he can tie up the entire Fantastic Four.
POP!
Yeah, Impossible Man would be great. I like the Plasticity, Invulnerability, and Incapacitate with 4 bolts, but I'd also give him a damage of 0 and perplex. Maybe a little Phasing/Teleport after the Plasticity.

If you are thinking about figures that might not make it, I would suspect one of the five Spider-Man villians on the list. While I would probably eventually want all of those figures, I don't know that we would get them all at once. I assume Ghost Rider is not in the mix this time because he is figure that they could market an expansion on. With Silver Surfer out there, they don't need to pull Ghost Rider into the set. I'm still hoping Power Man and Iron Fist make the final cut.
Heimdall
09/10/2003, 09:27
I also doubt the appearance of Ghostrider (i hope for an expansion called anything like "Replacement Heroes" or "Second Row" that would include Hulk, Spidey, Ghost Rider and Wolverine as FF, some West Coast Avengers, Shorttime members of any team, etc.).
crookedtooth
09/10/2003, 10:05
there is a ghost rider movie coming out with nic cage, probably around the time that they set the release date for the FF movie. I think summer 2004.
So if the game is still being made maybe we'll see an expansion based on that.

there is a ghost rider movie coming out with nic cage, probably around the time that they set the release date for the FF movie. I think summer 2004.
So if the game is still being made maybe we'll see an expansion based on that.

lets just face it, most of the sets will have to do with movie tie ins, just like all the other marvel sets. and if there are no movies coming up (like around the time of this supposed "critical mass") then they'll fill in all the blanks.
Nick Cage is a huge comic book fan and has been trying to get a part as a superhero for years now. I can't believe he got the part as Johnny Blaze but then again, I guess I'm just glad that there will actually be a Ghost Rider movie. With any hope that means we might get a click of him but there is still that issue to the rights to the "toy" products so I don't know if we will ever see him.

Wait... so Starfox is Eros? Cause Eros was Thanos' brother if I remember correctly...
Yep, Thanos and Starfox are related, why he took such interest in torturing him and Nebula when he had the Infinity Gauntlet.
