The hints we've gotten so far: -three modern unmade Avenger variants (including a Thor) -a modern unmade Avenger legacy character -a modern unmade Avenger/X-Man variant -a modern unmade Spider-Verse hero or anti-hero (not AU Peter Parker or an AU version of any previously made character) -a classic unmade Asgardian villain who doesn't wear much -a modern story specific unmade alien Hulk villain who wears a helmet and armor Two of them are female, the unmade characters have no movie figures, two of the heroes have villainous leanings, three of the heroes are story specific, and two more heroes come out of a specific story and stuck around.

I think you could actually make a really nice Venom origin movie without ever showing Peter Parker or Spider-Man (or having him appear like Batman and Flash in Suicide Squad). Granted, it would probably be more of an "Eddie Brock" movie but I think showing him as a reporter working on the Sin-Eater case and finally exposing the "killer", only for Spidey to prove him wrong could work really well. They wouldn't have to show Spider-Man, but they would definitely have to acknowledge his existence.

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as a bit rude, it's hard to convey these things over the internet. I don't think you were active when I signed up, but I'm familiar with your username from archive binges. It's good to have you back!

The reason we're all so focused on Ironheart is that Zach actually confirmed that she'd get a minimate. He didn't say where, so she could be the one in TRU 24 instead of here, but she does fit the clues for this wave. Is anyone else getting their posts deleted when they press enter, or is it a problem on my end?

Ironheart hasn't actually been on an Avengers team (unless you count the new Champions), but she's a legacy of a founding member. I wish the reveal for these was sooner, but I think it's still about a month away. I'd settle for an update if we've gotten any more right...

Cable was a member of the current Uncanny Avengers, and he now has a solo series, so that's my guess.

If Hydra!Cap and Ironheart are in this wave, UA Rogue and Ulik can't be. I guessed all four, but only two of my guesses were correct.

Actually, we got Invincible Iron Man (Stark, not von Doom), but that's still not it. Zach said there were no plans for Infamous Iron Man.

I'd agree for most of those, but not the GSXM team. Sure, some of them are pretty bland or just odd (Cyclops, Banshee, Wolverine), but Dave Cockrum's Nightcrawler is IMO one of the best costumes in comics. Thunderbird and Sunfire have nice designs too, and while there isn't really anything special about Storm or Colossus, I think their costumes work really well.

Blue & White X-Factor Cyclops is a look I'd really like to see, both because it would be nice to get the Inferno-era X-Factor team, and because on it's own, that look would complete the Toybiz X-Men series 1 lineup.

That's a good point. Still, he's not modern, in any case.

Muppets Robin is a little rough, but there are good pack in figures, and he'd be much better as one of those than a full minimate. It still wouldn't be in scale (he's 5" tall), but he's supposed to be a frog, not some kind of giant mutant or human hybrid. Dargo Ktor wouldn't because, like Throg, he's classic instead of modern. I'm pretty confident in my guesses, although that's how I felt about the last list, too.

The problem with Throg being the Thor is that he wouldn't be a modern variant, since Thor was turned into a frog back in the 80's. Spider-Ham was my first guess for the Spider-Verser, but he's also not modern, and he's an AU Peter Parker. The only Thor variants that I can come up with that would make sense are "Lord of Asgard" Thor or Allfather Thor: Unless... could it be Ragnarok/Clor? He's probably more prominent than those two, and he certainly has villainous leanings. Would he count as a Thor? If it isn't Spider-UK, Anya Corazon would seem to me to be the best choice for the Spider-Verser, and the Avenger/X-Man not being Rogue would free up another female character. Cable was recently an Uncanny Avenger, and he has his own solo series right now. Modern Cable would makes sense to me as the Avenger/X-Man, even if we did get his Messiah CompleX look recently. So, new new list: Modern Avenger variants: Hydra!Cap, Planet Hulk/Green Scar/Gladiator Hulk, Ragnarok Thor (if he counts, otherwise one of the two costumes pictured) Modern Avenger legacy: Ironheart Modern Avenger/X-Man variant: current solo Cable Spider-Verser/Web-Warrior: Anya Corazon Spider-Girl Classic unmade Asgardian villain: Surtur Modern unmade alien Hulk villain: armoured Red King

The alien is specifically an enemy of the Hulk, so the Black Order wouldn't really fit. I'm pretty sure it's the Red King from Planet Hulk.
