Valo487 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'd also say the Enchantress, as she's challenged both Thor individually and the Avengers as a group, and has popped up in several other Marvel books over the years. Looking at the modern Marvel Universe, I'm still surprised that we never did get the Hood, since he was such a big part of the MU for awhile there, and wouldn't require any new pieces. But the time for him has probably passed. As for whom we'll never see, I'm afraid that a lot of the cool, colorful old villains are unlikely. Guys like the Living Laser, Grey Gargoyle, Constrictor... I just don't think they are very likely. Thanks for bringing me down, YB. Doesn't Mokk in the Fear itself box set count as a Grey Gargoyle? NO. Not at all. And as far as Toad is concerned, I actually like Toad himself, I hope we don't get the boring version from the poster but a much more detailed version.

Mirymate Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Toad is a prety cool second tier X-villain. Heck they let him lead the Brotherhood for a little while. But as far as minimates go... yeah it's mostly because of the poster. It feels like unfinished business somehow. Of course, my favorite version of the Toad isn't 616's Mortimer Toynbee, but 11052/X-Men: Evolution's Todd Tolensky. No chance of getting a minimate of him without it being a DIY version. >shrug< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) I'm also enjoying the amount of Stryfe-love on this thread. I'm hopeful that he'll show up somewhere down the line. I guess it really comes down to how you calculate 'Single Most Important'. Stryfe was a pretty heavy-hitter in the 90's. And he was involved in Messiah Complex as well. I don't know how they'd go getting that spiky costume of his into Minimate form, but i'd love to see them try. I dare say i'd want him more than Toad.... But i think Toad's more important over-all.

buttheadsmate Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I think I've said somewhere that an Executioner/Enchantress set is one of those that i just can't believe we haven't got yet. I'll stick with Strucker . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel America Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Breaking it down by heroes: Captain America Enemies- Baron Strucker Fantastic Four Enemies- Wizard Hulk Enemies- Madman? Iron Man- Ghost Spider-Man Enemies- Jackal Thor Enemies- Enchantress X-Men Enemies- Toad That's seven of the highest profile heroes/hero groups and the most important villain missing from their rogues galleries that I can think of. For the biggest villains missing from MY ideal collection, I'd most want to see Fixer, Atlas, or Abe Jenkins, but I think Abe is probably the highest profile of the three.

youbastards Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Poll added! You get three votes, use them wisely! If anyone wants a character added, please post as I may have accidentally overlooked a suggestion. Also, I added a few characters that weren't mentioned and a few that were made as movie versions, but not 616 versions (Iron Monger, Whiplash, etc...)

warburger Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Shuma-Gorath. While not in the choices and not really a major MU villain, I feel it important that minimates be the first figure representation of this tentacled, one-eyed, green monster.

youbastards Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 No Super - Adaptoid Shuma-Gorath.

Both have been added to the poll, they are at the bottom, it's too much work to re-alphabetize the whole list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Frankly, I don't think any critically important villains are missing. Sorry. Would love to have many of these, but. . .if I had to pick I guess I would go with Enchantress, too, as she was key to the development of Thor and the Avengers, and has been a consistent antagonist over the years whereas Strucker was gone for a long period of time.* *as always, this is based on my knowledge of comics that ends somewhere around the year 2000.

Onyx_6 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I would go with The Hood. For both the most important villain missing and the least likely to get made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stegron01 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I've already voted anyway, but if we are counting villains who have appeared in the movie waves but not comic I would suggest destroyer could be added. Although the movie one passes well enough for a comic version as it happens, I would say as thor villains go he's right up there in importance.

monkeycrumb Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'm sticking with my first 3: Stryfe, Enchantress and Toad. So hard to choose only 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Shakespeare Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Looking at that list, I'd have to say we've gotten all of the major villains. There's a bunch I'd love to see and a bunch I've never heard of, but overall none that stand out as that one glaring omission. I'd rather see an updated Abomination before any of these guys. I went with Blob, Winter Soldier, and Wrecker. Enchantress and Wendigo came very close for me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the winner become the next Kang, where we throw our collective pestering behind that candidate and go full Lee Burns on DST? Because if so, then sign me up!

Nessex Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Mesmero, you say? Damn - i had not even given him a thought.... but i think he's one of those campy classic villains that could look surprisingly great as a Minimate (like FA Mandarin). Put him in a 2-Pack with FA Vanisher and lovers of often embarrassing, classic x-men villians would swoon. (Both of us!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I take important to mean fan appeal/importance to storylines/frequency of storyline appearances. That to me points to Toad, Pyro, and maybe Iron Monger. If I could choose simply by who I want I'd go with Wendigo, Bi-Beast & Super Adaptoid.

buttheadsmate Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Shane aimed......whilst you'd be appalled to be categorised in my 'group' it's great to see aman of your tender years saying Yay to Super-Adaptoid Go back all those years & that bugger was innovative,special,bigass different & especially bloody scary. In a world 40+ years later a character that morphs (yawn) into something else is pretty much mundane & run o' the mill. Not then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
