Throw Away Characters have Feelings too!

[Jack Flash]

If you could promote one character who hasn't had a legitimate chance to shine, to one of the main squads, who would it be? Why? What would their impetus be? LOL I just said impetus!

The criteria I used, was that they couldn't have been in more than 10 issues, that's why folks like Karma (Who I agree hasn't been given a fair shake) aren't included.

1. Alchemy
2. Vincente
3. Switchback
4. Tangerine
5. Sack (I just love typing that name)
6. Neurotap
7. Adam X (The Extreme!)
8. Lois London
9. Primal
10. Other - I want to use Karma or Shortpack.

[Kage Kisaragi]

Lifeguard!!!

[Jack Flash]

Lifeguard!!!

more than 10 issues under her birdy busty belt. Sowwy.

[protogarrett]

Lifeguard!!!

I voted for other since I have no idea who half those characters are. I vote for Lifeguard or Slipstream. I want them in the hands of a good writer.

www.wikipedia.org would be a great resource. So would Uncannyxmen.net

[La Fea]

I vote for Vincente and not just to suck up to Jack Flash.

He looks cool, he has cool powers, and I know this is such a played out reason but "he was so cool in AoA".

LOL, it's working! I lurve you already.

[pryde15]

I vote other. lol, Even if she has more than 10 appearances, she still deserves to shine!

[crystalline green]

ZOMG! Tangerine!!! *drools*

[Jack Flash]

ZOMG! Tangerine!!! *drools*

I love her too! Such a fantastic look!

[ChristosSoter]

DJ!

And Jazz. :p jk

[Daithi]

Tangerine! Why Cornell felt the need to make up a character when Tangerine is right there I'll never know. Funky Orange Afro Girl!

[Catlin]

Adam X...why, I don't know.

[timbox]

According to the OHOTMU, Throw Away characters do not, in fact, have feelings. :(

[Monty_Cristo]

Shortpack! he deserved a spot on the poll more than Alchemy (gimme a break). Switchback isn't even from the 616 reality.

[Jack Flash]

LOL Poor Switchback. Not even a 616 character.

and Shortpack appeared in more than 10 issues of Mystique! He was ineligible! It was painful for me too, Mondo just missed the boat too!

[ExtraEpidermis]

Vincente and Primal ftw.

[Hi-Fi]

Gotta be Tangerine.

[Monty_Cristo]

LOL Poor Switchback. Not even a 616 character.

and Shortpack appeared in more than 10 issues of Mystique! He was ineligible! It was painful for me too, Mondo just missed the boat too!

ahh. i didn't know about the criterion. my bad.

[Slung]

I chose the "I hate Jed for not including Jean" option. It really summed up nicely how I felt. :)

[Agent_Torpor]

Eh, no Mammomax? Get real.

[Diablito]

Serafina. She rocked.

[dazzler_slave]

ZOMG! Tangerine!!! *drools*

ME TOO!!!! I Luuuuuurrrrvvvvvs her!!!!!

[Spamzilla]

Honestly, I would only want Adam X back because I think his name is the most hilarious thing ever.

If I ever wrote a comic with him in it, he would always enter while playing a guitar solo with fireworks in the background.

Then someone's face would get ripped off.

[timbox]

Serafina. She rocked.

oooh, good call. Children of the Vault were hot.

[Josef F.]

LOL Poor Switchback. Not even a 616 character.

and Shortpack appeared in more than 10 issues of Mystique! He was ineligible! It was painful for me too, Mondo just missed the boat too!

Lies!!
Mondo's been in like one.
Mondo ROBO-CLONE is uneligible.
:)

[Jack Flash]

LOL. I love you too!

[Joe Acro]

Vicente, because I know Jack would love to see him.

And Other, because I'm sure there's someone I want that I'm not thinking of right now.

Joe, you rock!

[pryde15]

oooh, good call. Children of the Vault were hot.

yeah they were.

[caney]

I have a dynamically untapped awesomely amazing duo for ya. Wicked and Freakshow! Woooooo! They could have been big. But they won't be...

They may have also been in more than 10 issues. Sluk you and your rules, Jed!

[Novaya Havoc]

Lois London is an untapped treasure. Essential Dazzler Vol. 2 needs to be released so we can relive her glory years!

[Slung]

Jean is winning the poll in the "other" category. You go girl! *said like Claremont would say it*

[Monty_Cristo]

Lois London is an untapped treasure. Essential Dazzler Vol. 2 needs to be released so we can relive her glory years!

"untapped?" i'm pretty sure that she's the neighborhood door knob.

[Slung]

"untapped?" i'm pretty sure that she's the neighborhood door knob.

Now, now. That isn't nice. Lois is a nice girl who got caught up in some not-so-nice things. At least her clientele is only the most fabulous. And she calls her occupation "escort service." It isn't like she's some kind hooker or something, jeez.

[Kalen O.]

Jed! I'm torn!

On the one hand, I love you for remembering the greatness that was Switchback! Oh, how I STILL await her main MU debut!

But on the other hand, HOW DO YOU EXCLUDE DARKSTAR?!

Epic fail, Jed.

Epic fail.

[La Fea]

Epic fail.

Dead, dead, dead, dead.

Unless you mean the hot new redhead!

[Butters]

Preview, because she is way cooler than Blindfold and would want to be an X-man for her dead sister.

Bubblegum, just because.

Those guys that came back in time with Bishop, because some time paradox saves them. They could be a buddy team when they are not on X-missions.

LOL. Darkstar was in way more than 10 issues.

[Mitsaso]

I voted for Lois London!

Although I kinda wanna see pictures of Tangerine!

[Novaya Havoc]

LOL. Darkstar was in way more than 10 issues.

Lois London was in an extravagant EIGHT issues!

10 if you count her BTS story in Dazzler 20 and 21!

[Kalen O.]

LOL. Darkstar was in way more than 10 issues.

It's a proportional thing! Or like, a principal thing or whatever! If Darkstar's untimely demise (yes, I KNOW she's dead, thanks much La FEA! hmph!) doesn't count as a misused 'throwaway character'....well, then, I don't want to be right!

I may have gotten my sayings mixed up there!

Does not matter!

DARKSTAR FOREVER!

(And fine! Stick to your silly rules. Still don't see the greatness that is CHROME! You still fail. Bah humbug.)

[Jack Flash]

LOL. Chrome did indeed rock.

I'll admit to Failing. Kalen, punish me.

But Switchback should totally make it to the 616.

[Flameworthy]

Revanche! She was gone too soon and I really wanted to see her past fleshed out more. I miss her so much.:(

[Monty_Cristo]

LOL. Chrome did indeed rock.

I'll admit to Failing. Kalen, punish me.

But Switchback should totally make it to the 616.

Chrome was immediately my favorite Acolyte. and his power was so friggin cool; zipping around transmuting everything.

I voted for Lois London!

Although I kinda wanna see pictures of Tangerine!

she looks a little like Siryn

Preview, because she is way cooler than Blindfold and would want to be an X-man for her dead sister.

Bubblegum, just because.

Malcolm and Randall. all of a sudden, i wonder where Archer, Fixx, and Greystone are. they had cool powers.

[Jack Flash]

Tangerine looks like a white Orange Afro'd version of Misty Knight. In the future, she looks like Siryn, cept more Orange-y.

[SensorBoy]

Other- Skids. She deserves her own book.

[Valeria Kementari]

Primal... and Switchback... and fourth Summers Adam X :D

[Lombardo!]

OTHER: Rhapsody!!!! and she's still powered!!!

!!!11!!1!!

[Jack Flash]

Other- Skids. She deserves her own book.

More than 10 issues!

although as you can see from my sig, I do love me some Sally Blevins.

[Butters]

Her name reminds me of stained underwear.

[ExodusCloak]

Other - Astrid Bloom.

[Jack Flash]

Other - Astrid Bloom.

I really dug her too. I got that series in digests on the cheap and really liked it. the cheesecake psuedo porn covers really hurt that book.

[Matthew K.]

Serafina. She rocked.

Fantastic choice, Diablito. I kind of miss that sexy goth goddess. And what about Lady Mastermind...any word on her (may be she's over ten issues...hm)?

Still don't see the greatness that is CHROME!

Another good pick...such wasted potential and power to merely be "offed" in the early days of X-Men. He even had an X-Men: TAS cameo.

And what about Wiz Kid (Taki Matsuya of X-Terminators fame...curiously no relation to the similar in looks and powers, Hiro Takachiho from Big Hero Six)? He comes in with a smooth nine issue appearances, as well as X-Men: TAS guest spot. He could turn out for some fine villain or random ensemble cameo/tech-junkie appearances.


edit: Also, Gentry...Alpha's old director (from volume two)...I that guy.

[dazzler_slave]

Sack rocked.

[rilokyle]

Lois London, if only because she's a killer of hobos and cats.

They deserved it.

In honor of D-List month, I throw this question back out there!

[tlp0708]

I voted other because besides Adam X (who I don't want to return), I don't know who any of those characters are.

[Mr. Cakes]

Thumbelina is mysteriously absent from this list.

She was a chubby, insecure girl who was living in her brother's shadow. :frown: And isolated from her team! COME ON!

In March I wasn't as in love with Thumbelina I guess. I am a bad person!

[Grapeweasel]

I'm ashamed to acknowledge I don't recognize a single one of the options...
