All I could think of while reading that was Ralph Dibny's repeated line from Formerly Known As The Justice League: "I'm a four?!?!"

venom really wtf

And Hercules, who's gonna tackle the Skrull gods = Venom? I thought he already turned up in like the 10s? How the hell does Herc rate below Amadeus Cho? Easy. He doesn't.

Nice to see Daisy Johnson remembered again (she's appeared in like... Secret War, one or two issues of New Avengers and that's it, ever). and that John the Skrull is getting a push.

Still, this deck has me somewhat disappointed.

By the same token, Cable doesn't show too much mercy in the face of any enemy so i agree, he deserves to be much higher.

I totally agree.

And what the hell is with the new list?

Venom ranks lower than Spider-Man? wtf?

And Hercules is a 4? You'd think that his being a class 100 brick with ties to a bunch of other olympian deities would make him more of a threat.

Looks like I got 1 of my picks correct! :D

[It Is Inevitable]

Venom ranks lower than Spider-Man? wtf?

He's the MotherFrickin' Spider-Man!


He is always ranked higher than Venom ALWAYS!:D

[Seres]

Where's Molly? Where is she? If the Skrulls haven't put her on one of the cards, they haven't done their homework right.

“Secret Invasion” writer Brian Michael Bendis rejoins CBR News to unveil The Threes in the Skrull poker deck, including a descendant of Genghis Khan, a living weapon, a classic Avenger, and a notorious underworld figure.

[I don't know how practical this is, but can one of the mods merge these three or four disparate Earth's Most Wanted threads into one single thread?]

[Expletive Deleted]

Not a problem.

Gracias, ED.

Herc and Venom bring a lot of muscle, but after you get past what their powers can do I just dont see what else they might bring.

Venom yes, but Hercules is favourite son of a powerful pantheon of earth gods, and good friends with a bunch of superheroes across the spectrum. And he's about to attack the Skrulls very own gods in his own book!

Considering the Skrulls are attacking Earth for religious reasons, imagine if Hercules defeated their gods? That would put the brakes on their plans, to say the least. He should definately be higher.

OK, the whole "Deck of Skrull targets" idea has been fun to read, but with the "Fours" they lost their credibility to me, and with the Threes, Bendis Bias becomes evident (Clint Barton and The Hood? Right.) I must admit I'm curious, tho, to see whether the Twos will be a joke ("the Skrulls fear Squirrel Girl!!" :D ) or if they'll try to convince us that whoever is left is still important enough to be listed.

I'm betting we'll see another SHIELD agent (Agent Sum) or Agent Brand, of SWORD (especially since she's in the mini). Add in Janet Van Dyne (the only current Mighty or New Avenger not included), Jarvis, and Echo, if she hasn't been used yet, as possibilities.
