With the AEs out for a bit now we have...

The Great AEs:
Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider
Diana Prince/Wonder Woman
Norman Osborn/Green Goblin & Iron Patriot

The Useful AEs:
Jason Blood/Etrigan
Eddie Brock/Venom
Bruce Wayne/Batman
Clark Kent/Superman

The downright Pitiful:
Peter Parker/Spider-Man
Eddie Brock/Anti-Venom

So what other figures do we already have that can be made into AEs?

Right now I can think of:

cr007 E Jericho
Team: Titans
Range: 0 :bolt:
Points: 126
Keywords: Teen Titans, Wildebeest Society

(Attack) Possession: Give Jericho a power action and make a close combat or a ranged combat attack (as if he has a range value of 4) against an opposing target character as a free action. A successful attack deals no damage. Instead, remove Jericho from the battlefield and put him on his character card; the target is possessed, becomes friendly to your force and opposing to its owner's force, and any of the target's canceled powers return.<p>After the resolution of any action given to the target, you can release the target. Remove all actions tokens from the target and put Jericho in any unoccupied square within 4 squares to which the target has a clear line of fire. The target becomes friendly to its owner's force and opposing to your force.</p><p>If the target is possessed at the end of your turn, roll a d6 and add 1 to the result for each 100 points (or fraction thereof) of the target's point value. If the result is 6 or more, the target is released. If the result is 5 or less, deal Jericho 1 unavoidable damage.</p><p>Each time the possessed target takes damage, deal Jericho 1 unavoidable damage after the action is resolved. Any effect that can counter the target's powers can counter Jericho's Possession. If Jericho is eliminated or Possession is countered or canceled, the target is immediately released. Jericho and possessed characters can't be targeted by Mind Control or Possession.</p>

as Prince Adam and:

av054 U Ares
Team: Avengers
Range: 8 :bolt::bolt:
Points: 275
Keywords: Deity, Mighty Avengers, Soldier

(Damage) Tactics: Ares can use Perplex, but he can target only himself and modify one of his values by only +2 with each use.

As He-Man.

Give Jericho the AE mechanic on his last three clicks and have Ares come in on his first Toughness click.

Considering the amount of Scorpion and Venom pieces currently available I expected a Mac Gargan.

Tony Stark was expected
Cletus Kassidy would've completed the set
Ostermann would have been interesting
Mask Killer turning into Ozymandias would have been good.

My take on a few AE possibilities:

Bruce Banner / Hulk

Tony Stark / Iron Man - would be neat if they keyed it to multiple armor sets/designs (standard armor, stealth armor, etc.)

Matches Malone / Batman - yes, we already have a Bruce Wayne / Batman, but Bruce had an alter ego for sluming with the criminals named Matches Malone.

Tim Drake / Red Robin

Dick Grayson / Nightwing

Hank Pym / various (Ant-Man, Giant-Man, Yellowjacket)

Beast Boy - DC's 75th Anniversary looks to have a Beast Boy which AEs into a Dinosaur. I think it would have been neat to grant him multiple AE forms (dinosaur, gorilla, bird, etc.) -- though each form would take up a valuable spot in the release.

Tony Stark was good without him. It would be good to wait for a more Iron Man themed set where we'll get multiple armors and he can change into various ones a'la Osborn. Til then you can always use the Osborn and AE into the WoS Iron Man.

Kassidy? I'm looking at a 50ish point BCF figure to sub in for for him right now. Possibly one of the old Indy figs. Flurry, BCF & Battle Fury would fit.

i'd like to see a john jones with detective skills. i also think some thunderbolts would be nice. baron zemo/citizen v, screaming mimi/songbird, or dark avengers keyword moonstone/ms. marvel, or venom/spider-man. this would put a twist on the ability, as they would start as supers instead of civvies. this could set up some great early-to-late-game swings in momentum, and broaden the scope of ae's a bit. one thing i miss about rings figs was the variety between r/e/v versions of figs, and this would be a sweet fix for me.
