Throw me in as someone else who'd like Phyla-Vell. Loved the character and am still hoping Marvel wises up and brings her back.

While some of these characters were represented in the comics, they were all a part of popular cartoon series that were enjoyed by kids and adults, therefore, they make sense to me.

Warlock? I seriously doubt anyone under the age of 30 remembers him unless they are in the hardcore, X-comic omnibus crowd. And while everyone was bitching (and still is...) about Titus being given a BAF, NO ONE was asking for Warlock, except maybe the four or five of you here who are walking Marvel Universe Volumes...(and that's not meant to be a dig...trust me...your knowledge of just the existence of these characters astounds me.) Many other toy forums and websites expressed similar sentiments, so I know I'm not alone here.

Maybe it was the artwork (which I always thought was a hot mess,) or the design, or maybe it was just the character himself (such as the way he always spoke in the third person,) but for whatever reason, I thought he sucked, and was therefore was glad when Cameron Hodge offed him. Plus, his death in turn gave us the Phalanx, who I always thought were kinda neat, and have been big time players against the X-Men since.

Sorry if I don't share the same X-bias as many others here, but them's the breaks. If I had to choose between the two, I would take Titus over Warlock any day, and I know next to nothing about him outside of his appearance on Ultimate Spider-Man. It doesn't make him a better BAF than Warlock (in fact the Warlock BAF will probably be the better of the two due to the amount of unique sculpting that will go into it...) but at the same time, he makes more sense due to his recent moonlighting in the cartoon series, as opposed to a character who died back in 1991.

Then again, we got an Eel figure, and no one was screaming for him either, so what do I know?...

Also just minor nitpick, but Titus was not created for the cartoon anyway.
