    I'm surprised no one brought that up yet, but WAR MACHINE, obviously.

    Tech? Check. Transhumanism? Check. Hyper-violence? Check. Potential? Of course.

    I'm a bit out of the loop re; Marvel and who's using what characters these days, but if Epic characters are fair game, maybe the Shadowline titles might give you something to play with?

    Edited to include a character list.

    As someone who pays no attention to Marvel comics whatsoever I was thinking perhaps some of the old Marvel UK properties. Perhaps you could mess about with 'Warheads' because it's a science fiction conceit that is populated by amoral mercenaries. Although that would bring back Mys-Tech. I have no idea where any of these properties are - whether they're in limbo or someone's got a hold of these for re-working already.

    @ Brandon Cyphered - Like that ever lasts in comics :P

    Lets see the only other hopelessly forgotten marvel people I know are the ultraverse line they bought and shelved. Prime Hardcase, and Ultraforce where cool . . once.

    The comic shop I work in got the 8 issue Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe 89 in lot of back issues and I saw some pretty fantastic characters.

    Right-Winger and his partner Left-Winger from the Bold Urban Commandos... They seemed to have a lot of potential for awesome to me.

    @keighter what, do they transform into a blocked colon when they activate their powers?
  7.  (7954.67)
    well...I have an idea...and I think Warren would be just the guy to get it right...b/c the writer who handles this would have to grab some pretty broad thoughts and ideas, and make them accessible to the norms (i.e. us)

    I would like to see some form of actual story, plot, and character growth out of the entities of Marvel. Eternity, Death, Living Tribunal, Phoenix, Galactus, etc....

    not really sure how anyone, Warren included would handle that....but I know I would read it.

    Wait, why aren't you doing Fin Fang Foom? Or are you?

    Alternatively, what is Gambit up to lately?

    Quark. Ricochet Rita. Spiral.

    The Mojoverse, sans X-Babies.

    You know what I'd like to see?
    Those old Marvel properties of Stan Lee™ and Jack Kirby™ in a comic, just working and talking in 1950s NYC. I know you know enough about them to make this happen. Perhaps they write issues of Spiderman and Captain America that reflect their personal lives, perhaps they reflect some qualities of the characters they invented. I don't know. Maybe they were kind of shitty human beings like everyone else. Even a newsdesk (comicsdesk?)office drama could be interesting, Mad Men for comics.

    Or you could go with the Victory Boys, as wikipedia puts it:
    "First appearing in Comedy Comics #10 (June 1942)[61], the Victory Boys were a group of German orphans lead by American boy named Victor who fought against Nazis in Germany during the War. The characters or team have yet to appear in the modern age."
    That's ripe for the picking Nazi punching action right there.

    Last time you asked us to suggest obscure Marvel properties for you, I brought up Larry Hama's Nth Man: The Ultimate Ninja. I believe you said you read it and thought it was too fucking nuts.

    I also suggested Mummex: King of the Mummies, the 200 foot tall alien detective from Tales to Astonish #8. I forget what, if anything, you had to say about him.

    As for new suggestions... uh... Well, ever since Fraction brought him back in Uncanny X-Men, I thought you'd be perfect for a Doctor Nemesis solo series.

    EDIT:

    How about Motormouth? She's a foul-mouthed homeless teen from London who finds high-tech shoes that allow her to walk into alternate dimensions and stuff. Supposedly she had a brief cameo in Paul Cornell's Captain Britain & MI-13 a year or two ago, but I don't remember seeing her. Otherwise, she's been dormant since the early 90s.

    Not an active reader of Marvel books - I remember thinking Corsair would have been a brilliant missing but not dead Bucky (first an amnesiac dad to Rick Jones and then doting one to the Summer kids). But Corsair is dead and Bucky lives ...

    1. Commander Kraken - dead but his identity should be available.
    2. Selene
    3. Nighthawk
    4. Amatsu-Mikaboshi
    5. Hephaestus

    Being emo on Island X.

    So, not available, then? Also, since when is Gambit even remotely emo? Comic books, stop screwing up all my favorite characters.

    Anywho, I'm out of ideas. Sasquatch?

    Ultimate Spectacular Spider-Ham. Thats been done? Really? Wow.

    Remember that Spawn-looking guy from the nineties called Nightwatch? You don't? Well, still, I defy you to make that interesting.

    What's awesome is that as inconsequential as he is, his Wikipedia entry is surprisingly, and sadly, thorough. Which means somebody loved him. Somebody loved him dearly.

    Brubaker's 'Marvels Project' teased this nicely with their most recent issues highlighting the Union Jack origins...

    But how about a WWI-era story featuring the original Union Jack?

    This version of American Eagle:

    Too bad the Guardians of The Galaxy are already taken, I have fond memories of their original lineup:

    The Defenders #26

    Funny thing is, I excavated Doctor Nemesis for a series, but the editor thought he was just too obscure to support his own series. This was BEFORE Fraction started using him in X-Men. Fraction's joke, of course, is that he's writing the character in my style...
