Who would you make cosmic?

[Gibbering Fool]

So in recent years we've had characters like Havok, Polaris, Marvel Girl, Darkhawk and even D-list street based hero Jack Flag leave Earth and step into the wider universe.

My question to you is, if given the choice, who would you take from Earth and put into a space based title?

Uh.... Jack Flag??

Whe did THAT happen?

[HeckBoy]

Uh.... Jack Flag??

Whe did THAT happen?
In the latest Guardians of the Galaxy issue. Basically, when Blaastar stormed and took over 42, Jack hitched a ride with the GotG on their way back to Knowhere, where the doctors there managed to heal his spine and allow him to walk again. Since he would be a fugitive if he went back to Earth, he decided to stay on Knowhere.

Shame Steel Spider didn't hitch too. Coulda used a replacement arm for the one Venom ate.

[mastaflan]

Wolverine...so he can stop hogging everyone elses air time on earth....

But more seriously...

Annex, Nightwatch, Trapster, Moonstone, Solo, The Ringer

[SquidSquod]

Bucky the Space Nomad when Steve's back.

[XPac]

Sentry and Blue Marvel would make descent cosmic characters. They have appropriate power levels.

[HulkSmash666]

Sleepwalker- He's an alien from a different dimension, but he'd just as easily fit into the cosmic stories as he does on Earth.

Deathlok- Killer cyborg from Earth tearing up the cosmos on a space hog similar to Lobo or a space-version of Judge Dredd.

Apocalypse- Similar to how Ultron emerged in the cosmic-verse, but with more of a Celestial angle to his motives where he starts conquering other planets and empires. The Celestials have come calling for Apocalypse to repay the millenia long debt he owes them for the Celestial tech and armour he gained back in Ancient Egypt. He is now their own slave and must conquer worlds to weed out the strongest in order for the Celestials to cleanse the weakness out of the universe.

[B. Kuwanger]

I would say Thor. Him and his people don't really belong on Earth, and I always thought the "gods" thing was bull.

[Libaax]

I think its much more interesting seeing a street level hero become cosmic.

People like Sentry,Thor are already cosmic level powers.

It would be interesting to see someone like Bucky that depends on his skills to get powers that take him into the cosmic world. It would be a huge difference even being a small cosmic powered compared street level hero.

[Brother Justin Crowe]

Deadpool, for just one issue or storyarc. Then it's back to Earth.

Oh, and give him the powers of Captain Universe for that yarn, too.

[HeckBoy]

Bucky the Space Nomad when Steve's back.Huh, never noticed that if you tried mixing Bucky and Cap's names together, you can get the name Buck Rogers. :tongue:

[Brother Justin Crowe]

Huh, never noticed that if you tried mixing Bucky and Cap's names together, you can get the name Buck Rogers. :tongue:

That's fantastic. That really is.

Also, if you combine Scott Summers and Lana Lang, you get Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man. Coincidence, conspiracy, magic or some fourth option?

[Wind-Breaker]

Deadpool, for just one issue or storyarc. Then it's back to Earth.


That was sort of done near the end of Priest's run on Deadpool #40-43.

[Monty_Cristo]

they should give Eric O'Grady the uni-power for one issue.

[BeastieRunner]

Put Hulk back in space please! Also, I think it would be great to randomly throw Firestar and Justice into space with Nova. NEW WARRIORS ... in SPACE!

[DeadXMan]

That was sort of done near the end of Priest's run on Deadpool #40-43.

yep, geust staring Lobo as "Dirty Wolf".

[moochavelli]

Wonder Man and The Vision. But not Kid Vision.

[ptsteelers]

... But not Kid Vision.

Bah, that is no Vision. I hate that ... thing. Of course I am not fond of any of the Young Crap'vengers. Marvels Teen Titans ... Pah'lease.
:rolleyes:

I like the Thor idea, but only after JMS leaves the book (hopefully never). I really liked the old Bob Layton Hercules limited series. Herc flying through space. Good times.

Dr. Strange.
Kilraven ... again.
Another vote for Deathlok.
Doc Samson and She-Hulk ... what the heck.
:biggrin:

[marvell2100]

Monica Rambeau- She's obviously not busy on Earth
Carol Danvers- The Starjammers could use her again.
Jack of Hearts- Somebody use him for something.

love your deathlok and apocalypse ideas, specially apoc. Give him a few planets to rule, with a new 4 horsemen using old cosmic characters would make hima credible threat again. plus it's some1 for the starjammers to chop it up with out tere in space..

Ghostrider 2099. An anti-establishment rebel hacker from the future in a hightech warmachine body with a retractable chainsaw and a high-tech motorcycle.

[Kasper Cole]

[B]Monica Rambeau- She's obviously not busy on Earth

First name that come to mind when I saw this thread.

[TJKernan]

Colonel Tigon Liger of the Warheads (with Clementine, of course)

He has to be out there somewhere, languishing. Send him out into space to join up with The Guardians of the Galaxy, along with Misha. They would fit in just fine. They have hopped dimensions and fought all kinds of aliens and wierd things!

[danteipp]

I would like to see Songbird step up at some point soon and become a bigger power in the Marvel U, be it as an actual Avenger or out in space.

[Lupek]

I second Deathlok and Monica Rambeau. I would add Machine Man and Red Ronin. And I haven't been following him lately but put Man Wolf back in space.

Besides my initial choice of Songbird, I would also vote for Monica Rambeau. Bump her back to her prime energy manipulation levels and settle on one name going forward be it Photon or Pulsar. Personally I kind of like Pulsar best, which sounds more feminine. Maybe Phyla takes the name Photon now that the original Quasar is back.

It would also be interesting to see a new character or an existing, neglected character take the Binary mantle that Ms. Marvel previously carried. I liked the look of the character, very Firelordesque, and the power set was cool.

The Blue Shield and Wundarr the Aquarian could also use the cosmic treatment.

I also agree with the call for a return by Jack of Hearts, who has one of the coolest costumes in comics.

Finally let's get Quasar, Wendell Vaughn, back into space. Hopefully alongside Nova and Darkhawk.

I am thoroughly enjoying the Guardians of the Galaxy and would be very interested in another cosmic team led by Nova and Quasar along with some of the aforementioned names.

Quasar is supposed to go over to the GoTG when he is done kicking some butt with Rich! :smile:

[ZNOP]

Hell:biggrin: this thread might bring her back to the pages. I vote for Ultra Girl. Remember her?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/UltraGirl.JPG/250px-UltraGirl.JPG

Alter ego: Tsu-Zana
Species: Kree Mutant
Place of origin: Hala
Team affiliations: The Initiative, New Warriors
Notable aliases: Suzanna "Suzy" Lauren Sherman
Abilities: Superhuman strength and speed, limited invulnerability, flight, and can see energy fields.

[TJKernan]

SOngbird would be a really sweet choice. She isn't getting the love here on Earth, send her out into space!!!

[desanth]

Butterball(or whatever his name is from Avengers Initiative that is invulnerable but skill-less).

[danteipp]

Hear! Hear!

Quasar is supposed to go over to the GoTG when he is done kicking some butt with Rich! :smile:

That would make me very happy. Is Quasar supposed to make it out into space to be included in the War of Kings storyline? I would like to see him smack around some of the Imperial Guard again.

[HulkSmash666]

Apocalypse and his Four Horsemen:

Maelstrom- Vastly powerful being with awesome kinetic energy powers. Seeing this would be conqueror under Apocalypse's rule would be great, as it's usually Maelstrom giving the orders instead of taking them. But thanks to Apocalypse's power upgrade due to the deal with the Celestials, Maelstrom will have to deal with being 2nd in command.

Titannus- The most physically powerful Skrull that's ever been seen, Titannus has strength greater than that of the Hulk, and is one of the MU's most underated, yet powerful bricks. Titannus would relish the chance to cut loose under the rule of Apocalypse and use his great strength to smash any and all opposition to Apocalypse's agenda.

Midnight Sun- A superb master of hand to hand combat, MS has shown to be quite a powerful and formidable opponent. Skillful enough to hang with Silver Surfer in hand to hand combat, despite Surfer's superior strength, and good enough to even sneak up and ambush Surfer, despite Surfer's cosmic senses. It'd be cool to see him revamped and with an updated look and power-set as Apocalypse's cosmic assassin.

Trauma- Another long forgotten (and quite dead) character, Trauma is an alien from the warlike Troyjan race. His father, Armageddon, is a Surfer level powerhouse, and his son isn't far behind him. Trauma has kicked the living crap out Hulk before, but in their final fight lost the battle, and ended up being killed by the Hulk. Apocalypse makes Armageddon a deal to resurrect his son in exchange for his son's services. Reborn, Trauma is Apocalypse's personal war machine, with all the Troyjan and Celestial-tech weapons, plus his massive strength and durability, at Apocalypse's disposal.

Agreed. Monica should be space-based, and Wendell should be space-based and called Quasar again.

One Avenger that should not be space-based (but has been in the past) though is Living Lightning. It makes no sense - without matter, the lightning wouldn't do anything. It couldn't travel.


It would also be interesting to see a new character or an existing, neglected character take the Binary mantle that Ms. Marvel previously carried. I liked the look of the character, very Firelordesque, and the power set was cool.
Why have someone else? Just give Carol back the Binary powers.

Definitely agree on Wundarr. Blue Shield less so, but I can see where you're going with it.


I also agree with the call for a return by Jack of Hearts, who has one of the coolest costumes in comics.
Yup. I'd also make a call for the return of Century, and the mention of Midnight Sun was a great one. I always liked that character.

Oh, and BRING BACK GENIS VELL!!!

[HulkSmash666]

Century!!, I miss that guy! Of course, why didn't I think of that before?

He's a perfect cosmic character.

7ft tall, badass uber-powerful staff called Phalanx, interdimensional travel/teleportation, acumilated knowledge of the best of his race, all their fighting skills and battle tactics, plus strength, speed and durability.

He'd be friggin awesome in a cosmic story.

Thanks for the clarification - it's been a long time, and I'm way too lazy to research this stuff. Nonetheless, even if Krugarr (thank you for the name) wasn't a member that's still an insanely powerful team. Wonder Man + Phoenix-wielder + Spirit of Vengeance + Herald of Galactus = crazy power. Strangely, Krugarr doesn't make it feel any more ludicrous. It's just more of the same.

[jarrod]

Apocalypse is a GREAT suggestion, especially as an adversary to the Starjammers too. Lorna and Rachel both specifically have strong ties to him.

[The Sword Is Drawn]

Wolverine...so he can stop hogging everyone elses air time on earth....

You seriously think that would stop Marvel putting him in every book? They'd find a way... :biggrin:


Emma Frost! Space could use another villian to have fun chasing after an killing! Who better than Emma, the White Phoenix Frost! :biggrin:

Liger in space would be brilliant. Any of the Warheads would be. It might actually be the one place that they'd fit best in Marvel right now. It'd be good.

I've always thought it was a bit of a shame that Brubaker brought Nightcrawler back to earth when he left so many other X-Characters in space. Nightcrawler is practically MADE to be some kind of space pirate. He'd have worked really well with the Starjammers.

Spider-Man, for a little while. For some reason, I always liked seeing him beat up aliens.

[BeastieRunner]

Also, I'd like to see the Agents of Atlas and the Runaways go into space for an arc or two. That would be kind of fun for Molly and Gorilla-Man alone. Just imagine Guardians of the Galaxy and AoA meeting ...

Telepathic dog. Talking Raccoon. Man trapped in a gorilla's body. Venus & Mantis. Smells epically classic! Jimmy and Peter would get along nicely I think.

[Rayven]

Apocalypse

cosmic apoc would be better than anything they're doing now

[HulkSmash666]

Apocalypse in space would be better served, IMO, in a similar style approach to Annihilation.

4 minis, followed by a 6 part core story, with the end results being that Apocalypse returns to Earth a much more potent and dangerous foe with a much larger role as one of the heavyweight villains of Earth, up there with the likes of Doom and Magneto.

Each of the 4 minis could focus on the Four Horsemen, instead of the usual hero focused stories leading into the main.

But if I was writing it, I'd leave the Kree alone. They've had enough of a beating. I'd probably focus on the Shi'ar, the Badoon, and the Nova Corps, as well as the Celestials, the Eternals and the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Seeing an unleashed and powered up Apocalpyse tearing up the Imperial Guard, the GoTG, and the Eternals of Titan would be sweet.

IMO, Apocalypse isn't given the respect he deserves and needs to be shown as one of, if not THE most powerful mutant there is, and perhaps a story like this would elevate his status to where it should be.

[Libaax]

Besides my initial choice of Songbird, I would also vote for Monica Rambeau. Bump her back to her prime energy manipulation levels and settle on one name going forward be it Photon or Pulsar.

Send Molecule Man out into the vacuum of space where there are no molecules for millions and millions of miles? He's not Vacuum Man.

I believe Vacuum Lad might be a member of the Legion of Super Heroes though. I think he cleans their carpets.

[mightyness]

I would really like to see the Overmind return as a cosmic character.

I also think that Gilgamesh would work as a cosmic character. Call him the Celestial Warrior and put him in something close to his original space armor.

The post about mentioning Wundarr/Aquarian is a good call. That character has been ignored for far to long.

I would also like to see the Philip Jarvet version of Swordsman and Magdalene show up somewhere.

Sharon Ventura but maybe alter her back to something more similar to how she was when she originally appeared. No more She-Thing. I used to really like this character.

P.S. somebody needs to bring back Starfox. All these cosmic stories and we have yet to see Eros.

[Cthulhudrew]

Midnight Sun

Count me in as wanting to see a return of Midnight Sun. While we're at it, I'd love to see Star-Thief (http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Ditmal_Pirval_%28Earth-616%29)return- given the Inhumans' participation in War of Kings, and the fact that both Star-Thief and Midnight Sun were last seen hanging out with them, it would be a great time to bring both characters back on the cosmic scene.

I'd also really love to see Maxam return. All of these guys are basically cosmic guys already, though.

I'm not sure who I'd like to have "Cosmic-Ized" offhand, though Songbird strikes me as a really odd choice for a character to have operating in space...

[James Conniff]

Sentry, half to get him off planet, and half because his powers are definitely better on a cosmic level.

[marshal99]

When did Swordsman & Magdalene return back to the 616 universe ?!? Thought they went off to some other alternate universe to live their lives.

[Chaosopher]

I always thought Apocalypse would make a good cosmic, especially if there was some interaction between him and Thanos. The idea of four cosmic horsemen sounds great, especially Midnight Son.

And Monica Rambeau would be good, but All of Nextwave would be great! I would love to have them show up on Knowhere.:smile:

[Cthulhudrew]

When did Swordsman & Magdalene return back to the 616 universe ?!? Thought they went off to some other alternate universe to live their lives.

They haven't returned yet, as far as I know. They'd probably be better suited to appearing in Exiles, though, given their parallel universe hopping abilities.

[Dimoutzi]

Monica Rambeau and Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) are the 2 most logical choices. They aren't properly used on Earth and both already have experience in outer space.

It's tempting to also put Sentry and Blue Marvel there, solely based on their powers. But they don't really have a reason to leave earth.

[mightyness]

I do like the idea of Monica Rambeau becoming a more space based hero but I do like her ties to earth. Carol does make sense as well with her ties to the Starjammers and Captain Marvel/Kree but I like the idea of a strong female earth based character being in a lead role and she has been doing fine in that role recently.

I wish they would give Monica Rambeau a larger role in the MU in any capacity really. Roger Stern made her such a strong character I just can't believe how no one since him has seen her potential. I mean Mantis has had a lot more face time in MU than Monica. I think the biggest problems for her over the years has been the changes in her codename have effected the character.

Pretty much for the same reason I said Molecule Man wouldn't be particularly effective in space, Songbird would be completely useless out there.

Vacuum = no molecules (for millions of miles) and no way for sound to travel. Oh, and no-one to hear you scream.

[Neptunicus]

Knights of Wundagore would make sense and could be neat. We've already got the High Evolutionary as a cosmic character.

[Beadle]

The Man-Beast could definitely work as a cosmic character, even if he does have a particularly phallic nom de guerre.

[newscott]

So in recent years we've had characters like Havok, Polaris, Marvel Girl, Darkhawk and even D-list street based hero Jack Flag leave Earth and step into the wider universe.

My question to you is, if given the choice, who would you take from Earth and put into a space based title?

Easy as pie. The FF.

They should be out there, taking care of earth. Traveling the final frontiers.

[Expletive Deleted]

Man-Beast is already a cosmic character, more or less, as one of Adam Warlock's arch-nemeses. He could certainly stand to come back, though.

[FanboyStranger]

I would love to see Clint Barton pulled out of the Ronin costume and end up teamed up with the Guardians as Hawkeye. I could see him butting heads with Peter Quill and drinking beers with Rocket Racoon. I wouldn't want him elevated to cosmic levels (well, maybe a few Yondu arrows would be okay), but it's always great to see Hawkeye and his attitude up against cosmic threats that could wipe him out with a blink. (The Avengers annual where Hawkeye dupes the Grandmaster with a carny trick is one of my favorite Avengers stories ever.)

Space actually has quite a bit of debris in it. It just does not have any gas surrounding each piece(i.e. asteroids, comets, and smaller particles that get pulled into the larger ones), which is what the vacuum is in reference too. And the closer you get to a planet or astral body the more of them are there. Since most cosmic stories are near some sort of astral body, planet, or other astronomical body. And there are always stars to pull hydrogen and helium out of to work with.

[GHalecki]

I agree completely about there being molicules in space. There are certainly less in any given area of space than there would be on Earth in the equivelant space, but it is there.

Well yeah, I was exaggerating somewhat (On a comics fan forum? The nerve!), but there still isn't a great deal. Unless Reece is on another planet (in which case he might as well be on Earth) or happens to be in the middle of an asteroid belt, the amount of debris he could manipulate would enable him to create a particularly deadly toothpick.

Energy-manipulation powers are a lot more useful in space than matter-manipulation ones. Except sound and vibration-based powers. Songbird would still be about as effective as a chocolate fireguard. Same thing with Siryn, Rictor (powered) and even Dazzler. Actually it's be quite funny seeing Dazzler in space. "I could make a really effective laser beam out here. If I could hear anything at all."

Havok on the other hand should be tremendously effective in space, absorbing solar energy that isn't filtered by atmosphere.

[Scavenger]

I would like to see Songbird step up at some point soon and become a bigger power in the Marvel U, be it as an actual Avenger or out in space.
