View Full Version : the list of don't wants
This thread is for listing figures that you don't want taking up valuable spots in the upcoming sets. We had one, but it didn't carry over.
1. Jubilee- utterly useless
2. Rachel Summers/Phoenix- cheap imitation of Jean
3. Supporting Cast- we don't need Jarvis, MJ, Lois Lane or any other non-combatants, unless sold separately
4. Strong guy- lame, just truly lame
5. Cable
6. 40 different Green Lanterns- can we say overkill? It is bad enough we are stuck with the third stringer John Stewart.
7. Elektra- thank you, we have enough.
8. Power Pack
9. Oracle- one wheel chair per game system (she is now supporting cast, see #3
10. Jubilee- did I mention she is useless?

C'mon! We needs us the GLs. I think one jubilee. Energy Explosion and X-Men team. That;s it. Oh God I'm tired. Isn't it weird how I capitalized three of the four first letters in the previous sentence? G'Night, nerds.

I think we need all of the characters except Carnage. WE DO NOT NEED CARNAGE. :p :laugh: :rolleyes: ;) Of course most of those on this list think we can wait to get. Like 3-4 years down the line.

1.) I think i'd much rather have Jubilee than Boom-Boom/Meltdown... she's the REAL useless one
2.) Why no Carnage. One of my favorite Spidey villians... although i'd much rather have a Venom first.
3.) NO CABLE???? Why no Cable. Provided he was represented well, I would make sure to include him in all of my teams. He would have leadership, TK, possibly phasing, and a high attack and/or damage. What's not to like about Cable?
I think the only reason Cable isn't wanted is because someone has lost waaaay too many times to people who play cheap with Cable in Marvel v. Capcom.
As for Carnage, if an insane super-alien villain whose only purpose is to create hype and money for Marvel during the time in the 90s where everything is about action and explosions isn't your style, then you have a good reason to hate Carnage. Carnage came out of a time where the plot doesn't matter.
But I don't mind what's released in HeroClix, as long as there is no Spider-Clone Saga related Clix. I don't want to see anything that will remind me the horrors of the Spider-Clone Saga.

Cable half way decent. I just dont like everyone thinking he's all that. Its like the Apocalypse Threads. People make him more powerful then he's really is. Plus Cable is cheap in Marvel Vs Capcom II. Get it right. :p :D
Carnage on the other hand came from a very bad story line in spiderman. Carnage was just trying to rehash Venom.
I like Cable, I don't mind him being a clix. But I've lost to him waaay too many times in Marvel vs. Capcom II! (Sorry I forgot the 2... my mind's wandering off).
However, it would be kinda funny to see a Cable cheaper than Firelord (reflecting his cheapness in Marvel vs. Capcom II)...

Ha.. well yeah.... i guess one of the reasons i like the idea of having cable on my team in HC was because i was one of those cheap MvC2 Cable-lovers. :cool:

I'm Mean. I'm the BEST at what I do! And what I do BEST is guzzle b- uh, COMMIT MAYHEM!" :cool:
Yeah but you need more than one Bamf I mean they are a whole race.:p
I will admit it has been awhile since I have read comics on a regular basis but isn't EVERY X-Character Cable at some point or at least related? :confused:

I wanna know why no Cable, ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL BEINGS ON EARTH. The reasons people make Cable and Apocalypse out to be SO powerful is because they are. Cable went toe-to-toe with smart Hulk, Mr. Fixit, and the savage Hulk- one after the other!!!! Apocalypse got the bare minimum of what he could've had, which I find to be sorta sad. Why no Rachel Summers? They've still not gotten Jean Grey right, so why would they copy something that didn't do the character justice in the first place? No Mind Control, Psychic Blast, Super Senses, or Incapacitate... truly a cryin shame.
I say no Power Pack, Heroes Reborn, or Elektras.

No more Elektra, please!
Other than Cable, no Liefeld X-force.
No 'armored' versions of characters (Daredevil or Spider-Man for examples).
But I want Paste Pot Pete.
I don't want Paste Pot Pete, but I do want Trapster.
BTW, I've heard Mean is the next Wolvie U.

Paste Pot Pete is would be rookie with Trapster being Experienced and Veteran.
Just like Boom Boom/Meltdown and Invisible Girl/Woman.

When, if ever do you think we will start to see 2099 characters. Personally I feel those could wait around for a while, but what do you guys thinks.
I have never played Capcom, so my hatred of Cable has nothing to do with that. I found him (and all of Liefeld's characters that I've read) cruddy rip-offs of established characters. Cable is just a Punisher-type with TK/Telepathy. I never cared for the overbearing, bossy attitude that he was written with. He was the new guy bossing the old guys.

batfink, I suspect you're pulling my leg. I only wish you weren't. Honestly, this is about the only thing that would make me want another Wolverine. And nothing, NOTHING could make me want another Elektra. I'm not 100% sick of Hulk or Spider-Man yet, but it wouldn't bother me in the least if they left them out for a set or two either.
Paste-Pot Pete/Trapster I wouldn't mind seeing from a character standpoint. I love the old classic villains. But from a gameplay perspective, the last thing we need is another Incapacitate one-trick pony. At least as long as Incapactitate is so expensive. For a similar reason, Ringmaster might be fun, but he wouldn't do anything that Puppet Master doesn't do. Two-Face is one of the Bat's biggest villains, but they'll have to really work to make him different from the characters that are already out there, too.
I can't see Jubilee. Nothing against her as a character, but playability-wise, I can't see how they'd differentiate her from Boom-Boom enough to make it worthwhile. Take away EE and give her two arrows maybe? I dunno - the thought doesn't thrill me.
Figures I'm indifferent to, and resigned to the fact that we probably WILL see, are Cable, Venom, Carnage and Punisher. No offense to their fans, but they just don't do anything for me.
I forgot Forge in my list of "don't wants". He is a supporting cast, not worthy of a clix in the sets yet to come.
And Jubilee is still useless.

Bamfs as generics!!! YAY!!!
Start with roughly half Nightcrawler's move (they're only 1' tall or so), with an attack of 6 or 7, but defense of 15 with SS, and damage 1... and of course the same HSS and Phasing combo, even though they only move 7... I WANT!

I could wait 96 years for them, no sweat.
Only 96? Call me when the Legion in the 31 Century are retiring.

[QUOTE]"DON'T CALL ME PASTE POT PETE!" -The Trapster trying to do an image makeover.
I can not stand any "Ultimate(What do people outside of Marvel have against the classic Green Goblin? First the movie, and now taking a back seat in heroclix)", "2099", or any other stupid parallel universe bunk! We do not need anyone that is a cheap X-Men wannabe such as Generation X, Mutant X, New Mutants, etc. (If I wanted the XMen, I would stay with the good stuff, from Jack Kirby to Chris Claboirne and Jim Lee.)
Chris Claremont, not Claboirne., and I can agree with that, except for Cannonball, Karma, and Sunspot to go with Wolfsbane.
Carnage yes! I want to see that red cyclone of blood and psychosis get loose. How can you say no Parallax! That story arc was fantastic! I say no Forge, no X-Factor or Force whatosever, 'cept Cable. Forge sux, no him. No 2099 AT ALL.
So here's my list!
1. NO DOPPLEGANGER! You hear me WK!? NO DOPPLEGANGER
2. No Forge, come on, he's a #####.
3. No X-Factor. Not even Random!
4. No Force, except for Cable, with Sinsear or Deadpool as an Arch-Rival
5. No Ion for DC. How the hell could you do him?
6. Shriek. She just irritates me
7. NO MORE WOLVERINES. Other that AoA Wolverine, any other incarnation sucks.
8. NO MORE ELEKTRA. After that USELESS Clobberin' Time edition, I was sick of her.
9. See 7
10. See 8
I would far prefer Warpath, Cannonball, and Siryn to any of the garbage that Liefeld made. None of the characters he "created" are still being used, are they? Most of them were gone before he left Marvel.
No Jubilee. Ever.

personally, I don't mind the Elektras or Daredevils (I want to see them do a Unique Daredevil with the yellow costume), and I can understand the Spidermans being there (though how many times can you do an alternate Spidey, i think that we are going to get the Spider Clone Scarlett Spider rather we like it or not).
The main figures I do not want to see are the X-babies, worthless villians like Silvermaine and that Smythe guy who created the Spider Slayers. I also don't want to see other lame versions of heroes or villains who otherwise are decent characters in the comics. Oh and most of the AoA storyline can be left out. (sure there are exceptions).
I would love to see Cable. I think he is a figure who should probably be an unique though. As for Jubilee, I think if she was done well, she could easy be more useful than Boom Boom/Meltdown. However, Jubes is aboutthe only members of Generation X that I think would translate that well to Heroclix.
Regarding Carnage, they need to have Vemon in the same set and make them arch enemies. None of the other Symbiotes though as "thugs".
As for DC, I would love to see Oracle as an Unique in DC. Give her perplex and Outwit, the Batman team ability. Then throw in Incapacitate (the escrima sticks) and maybe a Batarang for a ranged attack. Maybe Throw Smoke Clud in as well on a click.
However, there are a lot of Bat villains i can think of that could be left out . . . Cluemaster and Calander Man, for example.

No more Ultimate characters, unless it's a character yet to be made like Ultimate Venom or something (like they have done with the Goblin). I do not want valuable space being taken up by '1337-er looking Iron Man' and 'flashes-you Wasp' when the Masters Of Evil, Skrulls, Fantastic Four and Defenders are so woefully understocked.* It's enough we have to get a new Hulk (uh oh, not horny Hulk!!), Wolverine and Spiderman every time, why get remakes again unless the first one was obviously wrong (Daredevil).
(*in the case of the MoE, with any decent figures that don't cost too many points for what you get, e.g. Enchantress, Kang, V Ultron)

Marvel don't own Cable anymore.
As for the Ultimate clix, expect to see at least one if not two or three Ultimate clix in every expansion from here on out. There is plenty of time, and plenty of characters to make many more expansions. So does it really matter if you lose one or two Unique spots for some Ulitimate clix, that will probably look cooler and are more powerful than the original (ie Hulk, Doc Ock.)
Mr Deadpool

Cable (and Deadpool as well)
We will never see a Cable or a Deadpool clix unless Rob Lieflied decides that he wants WizKids to make a set that's based on Independant (no longer used) characters. Because Marvel doesn't have the rights to the characters Deadpool and Cable, so that's why they changed them to Agent X and Soldier X which I've just recently found out that they are going to both be cancelled.
So with that being said I wouldn't hold your breath for a Deadpool or Cable clix. And, this coming from a HUGE Deadpool fan!!! ~sniff~

aw that sux im sad now i liked both of them alot :(
I only want one more Superman and that is it!
I want the Cyborg Superman because he was evil and evil is good when you are fighting Superman.:confused:
(Yeah thats right)
I also really want Deadpool even if they have to call him Agent X. The only reason they are cancelling the series is because Gail Simone left and the new guy is horrible at comedy even though he is said to be the funniest comic writer ever. WRONG!!!!!!!! Gail Simone is the funniest comic writer ever IMO and for proof read Agent X #1. The whole thing with Taskmaster training him is absolutley hilarious.
Also i don't want ANYMORE ELEKTRAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are enough already!!!! STOP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
If you want Daredevil in the yellow and black suit, paint an extra rookie to look like him. Don't ask to waste a unique on him.
