So for Wave 14, or MOKF Wave 6, we have:

The Cat (Shen Kuei) and Razor Fist.

These two are about as mainstream as you'll find in the old MOKF comics. The Cat appeared in 13 issues, and has been present for the modern era. Razor Fist even has some MCU cred now. How do you defeat Razor Fist? Easy:

Spider-Bandit and Templar (Army Builders)

When I discovered the Spider-Bandits my heart was filled with so much joy. They were a plot device to get Shang-Chi to think Spider-Man was a bad guy and thus fight him, as heroes are meant to do in crossovers. So they were thugging around in cheap Spidey masks pretending to be minions doing his evil spidery bidding. I love this panel:

 "Hit 'im Herbie! We ain't been practicin' this Kung Fu stuff fer nothin'!"

So good! Like these clowns could just easily pick up kung fu just to set Spider-Man up. I love all of it. Templars are faction in the Order of the Golden Dawn, like the Thugees in my last wave. Compared to the Bandits though, they are a Golden Yawn. 

Zaran the Weapons Master and Maru

Maximillian Zaran is one of my favorite unsung characters of all time, mostly due to his design. And of course he had a life after MOKF, with Batroc's Brigade and beyond. I went all out, doing all of the weapons he used in the MOKF run and even providing his maskless portrait. He's the third (after Cat and Razor Fist) who would be potentially recognizable to y'all. 

Maru is a big dude who kicked his ass once. He was being mind controlled by the electrodes you may be able to see on his head, which helped him ignore pain and generally be a lumbering force to be reckoned with, because comics.

Kogar and Ghost-Maker

Kogar was originally meant to be a mostly-QC phone-in, but I kept tweaking his decals and accessories and I ended up really digging him. Ghost-Maker required a lot of hand-painted effort and was a huge pain, but I like how he turned out. Shout out to @Navaan for making him possible via the generous donation of a Jackal mate.

I did know three of them! And excellent work, as always. Thank you for shining a light on this obscure corner of the Marvel universe.

[cylonchaney]

Thank you both -- and yeah that's my boy Zaran. I remember back in the 80s TSR put out a Marvel role-playing game, and my friends and I would play that intermittently. I seem to recall using Zaran against my buddies when DMing, knowing nothing about the character other than his look.

Thanks Navaan. I've been pretty obsessed with this set for a while. Just two more MOKF waves are coming, and then a "box set" of four. After that I'll do my last sleeper wave of Power Man & Iron Fist. I left some unfinished business there.

The next MOKF wave is the opposite of this one in the sense that it is the most obscure that I've planned. But there is a clear theme! I'm slowly acquiring parts for this one.

Absolutely phenomenal! I love your work!

This thread is always a pleasure to me , great stuff .

[elhonez]

Thank you BHM, to me this is the highest praise. I do what I do for the pure joy of it, and it is gratifying to me when I can spread a little of that feeling around.

[buttheadsmate]

I have a love for Minimates which completely revolves around collecting them . I am self-deprecating about my 'skills as a collector' but TBQH to have amassed what I have amassed is something that I am quite proud of . 

I just collect Minimates , you guys, your customs ,your creations & your threads ....... simply marvellous.

My next wave is perhaps the most obscure I've ever attempted. I am now parts-complete (at least all parts are either accounted for or en route), and have almost applied all of the decals I made.

Once I have everything, I'm anticipating paints to be a light lift, so this wave may arrive within 10 days. I suppose we might as well...
