Contest Of Marvels II Discussion Thread

(BTW, that gal is 20...what, you guys think she's underage or something??? She's just another comic reader I know, though. I wouldn't be chatting with some teenager...geez.)

Heh, I was close. I was thinking she was 23.

 

[POWdER-man]

LMAO Phaed....I don't know why my first thought was that she was your daughter.......I thought that she might have been 15-16 (some girls are hard to judge)...

I could see her being in her 20's too, so yeah that's awesome....her eyes have a nice shade of blue..almost grayish..

 

[JewishHobbit]

Okay, I must be really off on my age guessing these days. I was like "wow, she can't be any more than 12 or so years old. 14 pushing it." Heh, sorry about that. Maybe it's just the angle teh pic's taken at.


And I can be okay with US Agent if you guys are, he just came accross as a rip off Cap with an attitude, and I think I'd rather have Ultimate Cap for that. And frankly, I've always been bored to tears with Namor. I just don't find him interesting. The only time I think I semi liked him was in New Invaders and in Marvels.

Well, sounds like POWdER's going to have a tough call make the final votes (unless JB or W or others want to give their votes as well)

Not really; I've never been a big Invaders' fan.

I'm just waiting for the Iron Man villains so I can nominate the Ghost.

Keep:

Blazing Skull
Namor the Sub-Mariner
Spitfire
US Agent
Union Jack (I say III - Chapman) The other two seem to be a little too old school.
3 versions = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Jack_(comics)

Drop

The Torch (Jim Hammond)
Human Torch (Tara)

Potential

Thin Man (although I am getting a flatman flashback

As for Iron Man villains, he was included with the Avengers. But I have no problem in adding The Ghost to the list right now.

Sweet. He is a bad ass and will make an excellent pick up for somebody.

Woops I made a mistake in how I phrased that.

I meant to say that Iron Man and "some" of his villains were included under Avengers. Unfortunately The Ghost wasn't listed, but I don't see why he couldn't be added now to potentials

 

[Phaedrus45]

I was just thinking...Ultimate Namor would be a great character to have. I like him a lot better than 616 Namor.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Why not have them both instead of replacing Marvel's Original Mutant with his Ultimate counterpart? They're both two very different characters and personalities with different abilities.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I'm okay with adding Ghost... and what's so differant about Ult. Namor?

 

[Johnny Blaze]

He's a deranged criminal who's got tons of raw, physical power and is seemingly able to control water (he was going to level New York with a giant tidal wave).

[Phaedrus45]

Can't we all agree Speedball has to go???






Sorry, I have always hated that damn character.....I'd sooner see Beak in it. And, I was horrified to see he went so far in the contest....especially considering I voted for him once. (Of course, I could make him #1 on my list of wants, and make sure he looses!)

 

[wiegeabo]

We'll vote for him out of spite.

 

[POWdER-man]

huh, I am not crazy about him either, especially after Civil War but I think he'll be good enough to keep in the tournament. He shouldn't have got so far last time, but Victor worked hard to keep him in it.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I never understood all the Speedball hate. I love him.

[Johnny Blaze]

You all definitely need to add the Ghost to the Avengers list (if that's where you're putting Iron Man related characters), and should add a few Eternals to the cosmics (Ikaris, Gilgamesh, Makarri, and/or Thena).

 

[POWdER-man]

Thena is under the Avengers already. Gilgamesh, Ikaris, and Ghost are under potential so we have to get back to that later...

 

[Phaedrus45]

BTW, I changed my list for New Warriors. I really didn't like Alex Power last season, either. I vote to drop him, too.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Do we really want Debrii and Microbe on the potential list? There's a thousand better tk characters than Debrii, and while Microbe is kinda unique, he's not exactly very effective. He talks to germs, and they don't always listen to what he says. And other than that he's just a big target to hit.
