lol sure, but not more of the bomb than Sersi!

I don't have any serious problem with Exodus outside of the belief that he shouldn't have been able to stalemate a character that hails from a veritable race of gods. For a time, within 616 continuity, the Eternals were confused with the Olympians and the two groups actually fought a war over this misconception. On top of Sersi's considerable powers of telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation, cosmic energy manipulation, matter transmutation, and illusion casting she has the baseline (god-like) physiology for which the Eternals are famously known. They're nearly invulnerable. Put them in acid. Shoot them with high caliber ordinance. Blow them up. Electrocute them. They keep ticking. The only way to destroy them is to break them down on a molecular level. Add to that the fact that Sersi can bench press 20 tons! lol She's twice as strong as Spiderman or the Beast, basically, for no reason at all.

I know you are likely aware of all of this. I'm just explaining why I found the fight to be pretty silly. Exodus is fine enough as a super-villain for the X-men, but even as an omega level mutant with very impressive powers, that battle was more about who's currently hot (popularity of the X-books) and who's not circa 93'. Poor writing/plotting failed to account for exactly how much he was punching above his weight-class. They sort of hinted at it in the dialogue they shared while fighting, but the outcome was way too even for my tastes.

I'd welcome a figure for him and based on the recent toy X-Plosion, we'll definitely get one. I'm curious to see how Hasbro handles his wonky costume. They'll need to approach it cautiously as he could either be spectacular looking, or a complete disaster.
