I’m mostly thinking about characters that would fit at different power tiers than their “native” one.
Venom - King in Black (preferably not Meridus) (5, can do his son as 3)
Mr. Fantastic - The Maker (5, evil Ultimate universe reed)
Any Kang variants (3 should have been one of these, probably Rama-tut)
Kid or Teen Loki - journey into mystery or young avengers v3?
Void - Dark Sentry (5)
Moon Knight - Mr. Knight (3)
Amadeus Cho (non hulk) (2?)
Daredevil - Black Armor (4)
Punisher - Fist of the Beast (5)
Young Cable (krakoa era x-men, 3, make X-Man his 4)
Blob - Classic (3)
I’m sure I’ve got more but these were what came to mind first.
I also still want my darn Kid Nova (New Warriors v1) 3* > Nova Prime (Annihilation) 5*
Not so much a new character, but I have long suggested that at least one of the Iron Mans include costumes for as many suits as possible. For example, Iron Man XLVI could have 45 other costumes. They could charge $5 each or something and there will be completists who buy them all. And a lot of people will probably buy at least whichever is their favorite.
My picks, one for each star rating: Bucky Barnes (Captain America & Bucky) 1-star
I don’t think there’s any salvaging 4-star Bucky power-wise, so while we may get 3/5 Winter Soldiers some day, I’m choosing WW II Bucky for the radically different look - skipping the Golden Age and short-lived recasts, opting for Captain America & Bucky as the definitive ‘dark Bucky’ teen version to represent Team Cap at 1-star level.
Nick Fury (Classic) 2-star
I don’t think classic Nick deserves to be erased from history, and a prime candidate for strong support powers - traditional blue & white suit.
Moonstone (Classic) 3-star
She’s too much fun in the comics to be forever stuck as a weak 2-star cosplaying Captain Marvel, so picking her for my 3rd in her classic white & gold costume.
Kang (Iron lad) 4-star
Make it happen!
Iron Patriot (Norman Osborne) 5-star
Neither Iron Man nor Norman Osborne has gotten a decent 5-star yet, so right some wrongs with a good Iron Patriot which combines the two!
Bonus points: make a new boss event for him and the Thunderbolts.
Extra bonus points: give him a passive which specifically buffs the Dark Avengers to relevance & which doesn’t use up any of his ‘power allocation’ - an Iron May level buff.
Honestly I want something KINDA like this. First off, Spider-Man could have the same treatment with just how many costumes he has had. And then split them among his variants.
But no. When it comes to variants there is 2 I desperately want. 1 is War Machine Punisher.
But the big one and the reason I quoted you. How much Iron Man has 1 5 star version and Captain America has 2? It’s for that reason Superior Iron Man has long been my most requested character and variant. Tombstone coming second place.
Pretty sure OKT is a costume for 3* Thor already, and Unworthy Thor is Gladiator Thor, right?
OKT is a costume for 3* Thor already, but Unworthy Thor is from a run in the comics where Thor was convinced by an antagonist that he was unworthy and stopped being able to lift Mjolnir. 4* Jane Foster is from the same period.
Old King Thor is a costume, but he would be an awesome 5-Star if they gave him cool powers like calling in his 3 granddaughters, cosmic storm & Destroyer Arm Punch.
