Who deserves an ongoing series?

I Am Groot!!!!!!!

The most intelligent thing someone has said on this forum (literally in fact)

[dbcb314]

Blade deserves a chance

[The Black Guardian]

Gravity.

Not only does he deserve one, unlike some characters like Storm, he could probably maintain a solo. He has all the classic tropes for the prefect solo character

- Diverse power set, applicable in many different ways (essentially a paragon, but with gravity control)
- Young & inexperienced
- Optimistic, but tempered with a little realism
- College gives him a diverse range of supporting cast
- Charismatic & likable

Since Civil War, he hasn't really struck me as optimistic, but the opposite. He's always down on everything and whiny. Consequently, I don't find him very charismatic/likable.

Whiny works. Whiny worked for Spider-Man for years.

I'm going to say . . . Monster of Frankenstein. Partially because I like The Monster of Frankenstein (as if people couldn't tell by the avatar) and partially because I know no one else would say it.

Also, we need more comedy in the Marvel Universe that isn't Deadpool. So, some superhero who can be played for laughs but still throw down. She-Hulk? Hercules? I don't know, but someone like that.

[Professor Moriarty]

Valkyrie.

[scribbleMind]

Well, most of my favorite characters are pretty well taken care of,so I'm going to have to go with Blade. Blade just seems to be tragically underused most of the time, even when vampires are involved.

Set A-
Marcus Johnson or Valkryie.

Set B-
Shang chi series with him and madame web working together to stop bad stuff from happening. Spiderwoman- Agent of Sword.

Set D-

My biggest problem with this thread is the "think they could sell" condition.

Anyway, you know who I like? The new Thunderstrike. I'd like to see a series about him.

You think he can sell? Honestly at this point any teen needs to be in a team book to stand a chance so do most non teens to be frank.

[Huthaifa]

Luke Cage. He is already connected to more popular parts of the MU. Has a popular cast member that fans would want to see in Jessica Jones. There is currently not a book(By the Big Two) out there would be anything like it.

Mystique as Marvel Max would be heaven sent.

The rules of conversation for this thread are suggestably simply, pick ONE Marvel male character and ONE Marvel female character who you believe both deserves their own ongoing solo series. This character can be ANYONE, a hero, a villian, someone who traditionally in the past has been just a support or reaccuring character, etc. just as long as they exist in the Marvel Universe and you think this character can SELL.

My male character is none other than DR. VICTOR VON DOOM!



I was a big fan of DOOM 2099, the series where modern day Victor is thrust into the year 2099 and has to adapt to changed circumstances. Victor is such a powerful character he can be more than a one-note archnemesis against Reed Richards or Spider-Man, etc. It would be interesting to see how with Doom being in charge of Latveria actually stabilizes Europe, as no other nation would want to do anything too provacative near Latveria's borders, etc.

My female character is the X-Leader Supreme, STORM, Ororo Monroe T'Challa (STILL think she should be with FORGE, but that's another thread )



This woman is an Omega-level mutant, excellent hand-to-hand combatant, strategist, tactician, leader, Queen, and lock-picker, not to mention she's kicked Wonder Woman to the curb, TWICE (both during Amalgam comics in the 90's). Ororo has had writers the past few years having the audacity to put her more in the background, this woman belongs front and center as the STAR of her OWN book!

Others thoughts on my choices, and can't wait to see yours!

One suggestion I would go with Doom Sorcerer Supreme instead!

the question is a bit unfair because some comic characters who got their own ongoing got it even if their comics didn't sell well.

No, I actually don't think he can sell. That's why I posted that first sentence there.

However, I think that pretty much every character I would want to see with an ongoing wouldn't sell worth a damn, at least not for an extended period of time. As for how I see it, every character that can sell is already selling. For solo characters at Marvel, it's always going to be Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Spider-Man, Wolverine and maybe Daredevil for the solo stars. Everyone else has more of cult status and many readers won't take the risk on them. But if you're like me and like the lesser lights among superheroes, you just take what you can get while you can get it. That's the way it is with comics.

[OBrianTallent]

Characters that I think have at least some potential are:
Firestar: college student with cool powers, built in angst-said powers gave her cancer yet she still wants to be a hero...but she does need villains.
Lionheart: can she see her kids now or not?
Spider Woman: she has a past with organized crime (the japanese Yakuza) which I think works better than being an alien hunter. (I would have really loved to see Travel Foreman drawing this book.)
She-Hulk: I will always ask for a Shulkie series.
Mockingbird: away from Hawkeye and leading her own international spy series.

as for male marvel characters...there's not really that many I'm just generally interested in. I would like to see what could be done with Gravity by a different writer. Maybe Shang-Chi with the right creative team.
