We haven't had a big universal future character poll in a while, and now with Spider-woman announced and a little more optimism about releases sloshing around, that throws the poll open a bit at the top for the future!
So - simple rules
1) List four characters who aren't playable yet, any more than four and the additional ones will be ignored
2) There is no weighting, all votes are worth one vote regardless of order.
3) Much as I get why you might, don't list the Fantastic Four or Silver Surfer. On the other hand, feel free to list Namor or F4 franchise characters who haven't been playable before. Doesn't mean they are plausible, but still good
4) **Voting for the same character multiple times doesn't give them additional votes.
**
I'll try to update with totals as regularly is feasible.
Off you go!
Thanks to @TravisEpic 's very helpful spreadsheet for helping me sort this.
Bit of a quieter day today, but to save bigger batches of counting later, here are the totals as of @Wightraven with a little more analysis as I've spent less time counting:
Band 1
1 - Angel (89)
- Really seems to be on a tier of his own in this poll, he's been in the lead since very early on.
Band 2
2 - Wasp (65)
3 - Cloak and Dagger (60)
- This pair/trio have been really neck and neck throughout - Wasp has generally been in the lead, but it's been very very tight. Both are making their full debuts to the MCU next year too, so seeing them this high already is promising for them.
Band 3
4 - Namor (51)
5 - Dazzler (50)
6 - Songbird - (47)
7 - Quicksilver (46)
=8 - Quake (45)
=8 - Havok (45)
10 - Agent Venom (43)
A fairly dense little pack of entrants here, with very few votes needed to shift it around substantially. To our knowledge, Namor and Quicksilver still have their issues at play though, so the rest probably get a bit of a boost to their chances.
Band 4
11 - Jubilee (38)
While a respectable showing, she's notably down on her rankings from last year - has getting her team up in game placated the people voting for her in previous polls?
Band 5
=12 - Hercules - (33)
=12 - Mystique (33)
14 - Crystal (31)
15 - Nico Minoru (28)
16 - Kamala Khan (27)
=17 - Adam Warlock (26)
=17 - Sandman (26)
19 - Medusa (25)
=20 - Captain Britain (24)
=20 - Multiple-man (24)
22 - Bishop (23)
Another pretty dense pack of characters, again, with very few votes needed to shift things around here. Most notably, this feels like a very good showing for Hercules given how little exposure he's ever been given outside the comics. A slowly creeping up Adam Warlock is possibly a ramification of a certain GotG2 scene?
After that, without specific rankings
Polaris (20)
Black Knight (19)
Falcon (18)
Professor X (17)
Cannonball (16)
Gamora (14)
Wonder-man (14)
Enchantress (14)
Deathlok (13)
Blink (13)
Omega Red (12)
Sabretooth (12)
Morbius (12)
Groot (12)
Domino (12)
Spiral (12)
Sentry (12)
Banshee (11)
Yondu (11)
Firestar (10)
Drax (10)
Mysterio (10)
Pixie (10)
As characters are starting to accumulate in the low teens, next time I do a count up, the minimum level for listing will probably rise to 15, so if you like any of the characters with 14 votes or less and haven't voted yet, now is probably the time!
There are now 243 characters voted for across 1643 votes of which around 110 have one vote only.
Also Featuring:
Rom and Red Sonja - not owned by Marvel/Disney
Henry Gyrich - Not an action hero
Nick Fury Snr - Enhanced costume material at best
Ultimate Hawkeye and Maker - Enhanced Costume material more so
Each of the Original F4 who I specifically made void in the opening post
Judge Dredd
Kool-Aid Man
Batman
Also - two quick notes:
1 - If you are picking a legacy hero, make sure to specify which character in the legacy you are going for or I'll pick who I consider most notable. For example, please put either Quasar (Wendell Vaugn) or Quasar (Phyla-Vell) or I'll default to Wendell. As a fan of Phyla who is indifferent to Wendell, don't make me do that!
2 - Disclaimer: For ease of me listing, I'll convert characters over to the identity that I think of them in most reflexively eg. so a vote for Spectrum/Photon/whichever alias will be listed under Monica Rambeau. There is no pattern to this, although often just to their actual name. Characters this applies to so far include: America Chavez, Monica Rambeau, Dani Moonstar.
For the sake of transparency - my own votes were: Kamala Khan, Jubilee, Adam Warlock and Misty Knight
