Continuing my look ahead to the Top 10 characters I want to see clixed in the future.

Five Marvel. Five DC. No remakes. Here’s the next pair.

DC: The Great Ten

OK, so this is actually SIX characters, not one. But I still feel entitled to this whole team, because WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN TWO APIECE IN EVERY SET SINCE 2007’s JUSTICE LEAGUE. Instead, we got:

Justice League: 1
Crisis: 1
Arkham Asylum: 1 (plus one who isn’t really part of the core team in the pic above)
Brave & Bold: 0
DC 75th: 0
Superman: 1

C’mon. With just two in each set, the team would be complete by now. In these “New 52” days, we might never see China’s superteam done at all.

Anyway, here’s who’s missing and what they should be like:

• Celestial Archer: super bowman whose trick arrows cast magic spells rather than blow up stuff. A standard rainbow dial and multi-targets would suffice.
  
• Thundermind: China’s answer to Superman/Shazam — if they were based on a Buddhist template — would have Running Shot, TK, maybe Mind Control or Stealth and definitely, oh so definitely, a SP called “Bilocation” that’d work a lot like Star Trek Tactics’ U.S.S. Prometheus’ SP “Multi-Vector Assault.”
• Immortal Man In Darkness: pilot of the reverse-engineered living alien fighter jet could be another Vehicle-keyworded piece. A double-based transporter.
• Shaolin Robot: Just like it sounds. Powers would be named after the I-Ching hexagrams.
• Socialist Red Guardsman: Armored radioactive powerhouse with Pulse Wave and special Poison that could hurt foe AND friend.
• Mother of Champions: She’d be a peanut based duo consisting of her and one or two of said “champions,” with a SP or trait forcing her to take a click every time she clears tokens, representing her superpowered offsprings’ ultra-accelerated lifespans. After KO, she returns to the field a la Clown Prince of Crime from Arkham Asylum.

Let’s make this happen, WizKids and DC. Before the Chinese call in their markers!

Marvel: Monet St. Croix

When HeroClix got dirtnapped in 2008, this was the first figure I mourned never getting to see ‘clixed.

(Can you blame me? That’s a fantastic figure. But I digress.)

Also known as “M,” she’s a telepath and telekinetic, but those powers frankly take a back seat to her physical powers of super-strength, flight, invulnerability and insufferable know-it-all arrogance.

Oh, you say the last one isn’t a power? She probably thinks so.

She and Layla “Really DOES know it all” Miller are about the only members of the X-Factor team not to be made, and Monet has been around since “Generation X” (remember them?) so it’s high time this awesome Algerian mutant was made a clix.
