Also, what do you guys thing about the civil war waves? In your opinion, will we see just a couple new additions like Black Panther and Scarlet Witch OR will Hasbro give us various new characters like MCU Vision, a new (and hopefully) screen accurate Legends Ant-Man, New War Machine, BAF Falcon, etc? I hope we get a lot of them, I need them for my collection AND my videos.

But Iron Lad and Patriot I haven't seen in a while (Please someone correct me if I'm wrong). They might not get made again.

I'm content to pay that and wait that long since he's the main (maybe only, still not decided on Jack) that I wanted of this wave.

If anyone is interested

Amazon.com: Marvel Legends Series: Villains of the Night: Morbius: Toys & Games

Amazon.com: Marvel Legends Series: Villains of the Night: Marvel's Jack O'Lantern: Toys & Games

Jack and Morbius are $21.95 USD at this time.

Spider-Gwen is $29.95 at this time for those who are interested, also in stock through the third party mid January.

Amazon.com: Marvel Legends Series: Edge of Spider-Verse: Spider-Gwen: Toys & Games

I honestly forgot the rest as I have zero interest in them, but they're likely there somewhere.

We got more figures for Age of Ultron than any other MCU film. I was dead wrong with what I thought would be released for AOU last year. This year, I'm taking a leap of faith. I'm going on the record and saying that we will get these figures for the Civil War MCU Marvel Legends...

Captain America
Winter Soldier
Falcon
Hawkeye
Scarlet Witch

Iron Man Mark 47
Black Widow
War Machine Mark 3
Vision
Black Panther

Hey Chuck, I think that Spider Girl is a knock off placed in a legit package.

Sue Storm is powerful, and that stint she did as Malice was an interesting reflection of how dangerous she could be potentially. Also a reflection of Byrne/Claremont's tendency to turn their favorite heroines into villains (i.e. Jean originally, then Sue, and finally Wanda). As En Sabah mentioned, Rachel was the best Phoenix and demonstrated the most control while tapping the power of the Phoenix Force. However, this aspect of the character is not consistent and gets turned on and off like a light switch. Hope, potentially? Storm's an omega-class mutant, but somehow she doesn't feel like one. "Her" (Adam Warlock's 'sister' or female counterpart), maybe? Then there are the magic users like Enchantress, Morgan Le Fay, Selene, Wanda, and Magik. The term "powerhouse" can be taken a number of ways, but I was thinking more along the lines of Wonder Woman, Power Girl, Supergirl, Maxima etc...on that score Strontian/Xenith is the only direct comparison.

But your observation about Marvel's (and DC's) gender specific coronation of 'infra-genius' status, still nags me. The best I can come up with after a night of thinking is Nightshade. Lady Nightshade was a technological genius, but being a Power Man enemy, and being a representative of 'blacksploitation' pulp of the 70's, she is a relative unknown. Karla Sofen, possibly? At least she is a doctor (albeit a PHD, of a 'soft-science'; she's a psychologist, not even a psychiatrist like Samson) and has been lauded by the likes of Zemo, Graviton and Osborn for her ability to manipulate others (FYI I really like Moonstone as a character). And as you mentioned, there's Sage. But mutants present an interesting problem when their ability is intelligence or magic. Wanda's mutant hex difficulties have been explored and explained. Strange warned her (and everyone else) that her powers, without mystic tutelage, would present a real threat to everyone. However, someone like Forge should present similar issues. His power is building wild creations. While writers have explored his problems remembering how to create what he has, I've never read a story where that ability runs amok. Potentially, he's far more than Tony Stark. Damn...see how easy it is to go back to male heroes? Yeah, more kickass women please....

Food for thought, indeed! To start it off, yes, you're completely right that Sage shouldn't be applicable due to her intelligence being her power (and 'computer-like' brain). Mockingbird is a scientist, but I don't know whether she possesses a PhD, and even so she's certainly not recognised in the same vein as Reed, Hank, Tony. Again, the Wasp and Jen Walters are very smart, but more realistically smart rather than invent a new world smart.. Ah, and Forge! If you want that storyline, Warren Ellis wrote it in Astonishing when Forge invented "Ghost Boxes," doors to other universes. It did not go well.

As for powerful power, we all know that Sue Storm is a beast IF she used her power, but like Iceman, does she ever really unleash? Rachel Grey and Morgan Le Fay are pretty much always written as above-average power, whereas Storm regularly gets downsized to "nurturing mum." Seriously, Marvel, where are the strong women at?

On a very related note, how does everyone feel about the rumoured Doctor Strange line up? Very excited for Nico Minoru and Mordo, but hopefully the Astral Strange and Brother Voodoo won't be the exact ones from the SDCC set.

There have been a couple cinematic Widows already and the Hawkeye in the 4 pack. They are not the typical "have to have one every wave" characters. If they do a Widow I would expect it to be comic vs cinematic. Considering Winter Soldiers from Cap 2 are STILL peg warming, I would not expect another of him either.

The other thing to consider is no wave has been entirely cinematic. In fact, off the top of my head GotG is the only cinematic heavy wave I can think of from recent waves. That being said, your character selections could be spot on but I would expect the comic vs MCU to look more like this.

Captain America - MCU
Winter Soldier - doubtful at all but comic if done
Falcon - MCU
Hawkeye - if done at all, the Matt Fraction comic series version
Scarlet Witch - MCU

Iron Man Mark 47 - MCU
Black Widow - comic version if at all
War Machine Mark 3 - MCU
Vision - MCU if done at all
Black Panther - comic, I say this only because an MCU is more likely for the solo movie. They could do two versions but I doubt it

I will be curious to see if either of us are even close come wave release.
