For kids under 10 there might be some knowledge gap but it's' not like they are minor characters. Not saying Mystique is an a-list villain but a brotherhood set would be really popular, especially with a good Magneto figure (very unlikely now).

Ha! I love it. I grew up an Avenger fan and use to catch heck from X-men fans. It wasn't that the x-men weren't cool but man people use to be over the moon with them. Wolverine, Wolverine, Wolverine! geez.

The original X-factor was my gateway to collecting X-men related books. Story started in the Avengers, remember.

I admit it a shame how they dilluted the brand over the years.
