You should add Patriarch to that list. He'd be a new face and a decent character for someone to pick up.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I'm actually okay with all of them, Patriach included.

 

[POWdER-man]

Here are some more potentials

Atrocity
Foundry
Metarchus
Regent

Midnight Sons

Keep:


Blackout
Blade the Vampire Hunter
Damien Hellstrom
Deathwatch
Delilah
Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch)
Hannibal King
Jaine Cutter
Morbius

Drop:

Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze) - I don't think we need two Ghost Riders. I'd rather have Danny and Blaze as himself during the time Midnight Sons was formed.

Potential:

Blaze
Patriarch
Metarchus
Foundry
Regent

(I left out Atrocity, mainly because the description of his power does state it's "somewhat undefined." And, a couple of the others might have the same problem, not having a complete description of how those powers work and to what extent. We might need someone to read the comics to get a full understanding of who they are.)

Lame.
You all need to have the original, most well known Ghost Rider in this thing as Ghost Rider, not the crappy 90's-wanna-be-cool-sidekick Blaze.

 

[Phaedrus45]

I would pick the original...he was the best. But, I figured people might want Blaze as an alternate. If Blaze wasn't going to be in it, I'd boot Ketch and stick with Johnny.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Really I can't see why you can't have both Ghost Riders. They're both completely different characters and you've allowed two version of the Hulk in the Savage Hulk and the Maestro. They're no less different then the Hulks are.

 

[POWdER-man]

Midnight Sons

Keep:

Blackout
Blade the Vampire Hunter
Damien Hellstrom
Deathwatch
Delilah
Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze)
Hannibal King
Jaine Cutter
Morbius

Drop:

Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch) I say drop one of the GR's. They weren't popular last time, and although they are different people that have basically the same powers with no real difference (IMO) so I would rather keep Blaze)

Potential:

Patriarch
Metarchus
Foundry
Regent

 

[Phaedrus45]

I thought I'd introduce you guys to a gal I know who loves to read comics:

Isn't she a sweety?

 

[Phaedrus45]

I agree with Powder. Let's drop Danny and keep Johnny. The Blaze potential can then be dropped, too.

 

[POWdER-man]

I thought I'd introduce you guys to a gal I know who loves to read comics:

Isn't she a sweety?

Daughter?

She likes V for Vendetta? That's cool...

Alright so I will update the list and move on to the next section....

Nope, that's no daughter.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Nope, that's no daughter.

It's a space station!

















































Sorry, I couldn't help the Star Wars quote.

 

[Phaedrus45]

New Invaders

Keep:

Namor the Sub-Mariner
Union Jack
US Agent

Drop:

The Rest

 

[JewishHobbit]

So either she's a niece or you're getting a little creepy on us.

 

[JewishHobbit]

New Invaders

Keep:

Namor the Sub-Mariner
Union Jack
US Agent

Drop:

The Rest

WHA!?

This is an awsome team. Blazing Skull shoots fire an can be ripped limb from limb and just put himself back together again. Spitfire's as effective as Quicksilver but with a meaner streak and more experience. Jim Hammond is the original Human Torch! I can see Tara being cut as she's just a rip off of Johnny and Jim, and I can even see US Agent being cut because he's pretty much a lesser Cap... but there's some darned good characters here. These could be the JSA of Marvel if they ever did something good with them. Their series was actually pretty good but didn't float sadly. The art and lack of promotion is what killed it in my opinion. It really made me like Blazing Skull and Jim Hammond. I'll eventually buy the trade.

My vote:

Keep:

Blazing Skull
Namor the Sub-Mariner
Spitfire
The Torch (Jim Hammond)
Union Jack Though I think there's been differant versions of him right? Which do we want?

Drop:

Human Torch (Tara)
US Agent

Potential:

Thin Man
He was one of the villains/allies of the series and another old character. He's also appearing in the recent Cable Deadpool comic. He's basically like Reed Richards being able to stretch and a genious, but he's got more experience and he's slightly nuts, willing to kill.

 

[Phaedrus45]

WHAT??!!?? Aside from Namor, you want the best character in the group dropped??!!??

(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.)

Frankly, I hated the New Invaders comics, and my choices probably reflect that. I'll see if there are any potentials later when I have a look-see through Namor's past.
