First the MCU ruins Iron Man in the books, then they waste his rogues gallery, and now they're lending Ghost to Ant-Man. Watch as she's Ghost in name only.

DSTZach Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Saw someone said only one villain was new. All three are new. That may have changed from my initial list. All three heroes have mates, although it could be argued one is new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 A hero who has a Minimate, yet who could be argued to be new... An existing character in a new identity? Clint Barton as Goliath, for example? We have Clint 'mates but not a Goliath. Not necessarily arguing it's him, just an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimate Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 All three villains are new. That definitely changes things and makes me even more excited. Especially since two of them are Spidey related. Some of my guesses: Hammerhead Tombstone Prowler Jackal Boomerang Silvermane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hasn’t Blackheart just received an all new look since the Legacy books launched? Would that be considered a renaissance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhonez Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 The heroes are an Iron Man and two X-Men. I still like our Gambit/Rogue guess, so maybe it's someone new in Iron Man armor? Three new villains is definitely a wrinkle, albeit a welcome one. What's the classic v. contemporary costume ratio here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's experienced somewhat of a Renaissance in recent years. His costume has not really changed. I suppose one of the requested heroes could be considered classic, as the recent costume is similar to a classic one we have not made. We've gotten Iron Men and Victors von Doom, but never an Iron Doom. Rogue, Gambit, and Iron Doom all seem like solid guesses to me, which leaves two new Spidey villains and a new Iron Man villain. If Rogue is right, then all three of them must be male. Edited December 31, 2017 by BuffaloDelorean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinous Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I doubt we get a jackal beings the animated line is releasing one soon, however different it may be from a comic design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimate Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 True, just wishful thinking. Maybe Prowler / Boomerang? They both match a few of the clues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 And, technically, we are getting Masque in the upcoming Animated line. I think (hope) Ghost is the more likely villain for Iron Doom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimate Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 You guys are right. I think I am also leaning more toward Ghost now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut went Mantis and my brain went "oh, please god no". I meant it could be argued the character is completely new, no comic or movie version. It could also be argued that they have both a comic and a movie version. The other two heroes have only had comic versions, not movie. Similarly, one of the villains wears a hero name and costume we have gotten in comic format before, but has never had a Minimate himself, in any format, so he could be argued either way as well. And I failed to mention that one villain has or will have an animated-style Minimate, but had not had a comic style or movie-style Mate. The third has never had a Minimate, ever.

elhonez Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hmm. It's starting to sound like Madame Masque is the female and the Iron Man villain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFMcGill Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Joining this forum was an awful move coz now I am determined to solve this above all else. The villain, I almost want to say Erik Josten Goliath but that seems a really oddly specific thing to go for. And might be more my wishful thinking for Thunderbolts. I'm sure there's previous clue that discounts him anyway. The use of "himself" also helped me discount Rita deMara Yellowjacket. Eric o'Grady Ant-Man was a first thought but the wording definitely seems to exclude him. Also possibly Ragnarok, Toxic Doxie in her Scarlet Witch costume or Barney Barton in his Hawkeye costume... Speed Demon as the animated villain - he does seem the obvious one to fit that clue. Never in a million years would I ever expect TWO Speed Demon Minimates in the space of like a year...

Mnemosis Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 A male villain we've never had posing as a hero we have... That's a real head scratcher. And specifically wearing the same costume, too. A hero who could be said either to have NO comic OR movie version... or both. This should be the easier nut to crack. There's not TOO many movie characters and narrowing it down to someone ambiguous should be easy. Theoretically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goliath was my first thought too; his costume is BASICALLY the Hank Pym Goliath costume with a different color scheme. I'd be surprised if it's him, but I've always liked that character so I'd be happy. I would bet dollars to donuts that the animated villain is the Jackyl, since he's easily the most important Spidey villain that's never been 'mated. But it COULD be a swerve and be one of the Squadron Supreme, since they were villains on the show. Zach likes to be sneaky like that.

Minimate Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Notice Zach mentioned one of the villains has or will have an animated mate. He may have mentioned that to throw us off, but it's leading me to think Jackal or Madame Masque. Edited January 2, 2018 by Minimate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 From the animated thread, Zach says: "I'm sure we'll do a 616 Masque at some point, and I'd certainly like a Jackal and Wasp, but we'll see." Unless he's being sneaky, that puts Masque at slightly higher odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimate Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 616 Masque has been on my wants for a while. I would also love a Hammerhead or Tombstone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 A 616 Madame Masque would be amazing. I'm surprisingly still stuck on our mystery hero who may or may not have been made before. The man in the shield mandroid suit is Phil Coulson. So you could argue that there is a comic book Phil Coulson figure, or you could argue that there isn't, but the movie figure is absolutely unambiguous. There's a movie figure of Harry Osborn as the "New Goblin." You could argue whether this counts as a Harry Osborn figure, and then make a comic accurate Harry, but there's no ambiguity as to whether or not there's a comic book version of him already. Maybe the Toni Ho Iron Patriot? We've had Iron Patriots before, in both the movie and comic lines, but not this version. As for the villain in a hero costume, my only other guess would be the villainous Black Knight, though the costume is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
