It is? I must be underestimating the appeal. I mean, he hadn't ever really 'done' anything until Infinite Crisis, and he still hasn't really 'done' anything besides shoot Ted Kord. He's a 5 click Mastermind /Mind Control piece at best.

Now, L-Ron? They HAVE to make L-Ron.

This list is wrong... it has no Vibe.

As an aside, here's the root of my problems with DC sets vs Marvel sets.

Blue = never been made
Red = Remakes
Purple = Combination of never been made and remakes (or generics)

Note - Marvel's ahead on blue figures by far.

Crisis gave us some fun stuff, but at the expense of a lot of duos (of 37 duo figures in clix 29 are DC) which IMO wrecked the playability of certain teams. Imagine the outrage if half the Young Avengers, AoA or even U-Foes had been duos. Brave and the Bold gave us a lot of generics at the expense of never before named characters (and I like generics, don't get me wrong).

Marvel really seems to be making a conscientious decision to include complete, never been made team line-ups from solo books like Runaways, Young Avengers, Nextwave, AoA, while DC's counterparts (seven soldiers, secret six, shadowpact, outsiders) are lucky to get one or two figures with spots wasted on duos and reprints.

Well, Jeannette will appear in Action Comics in December. That's a start for more exposure. She's been in comics for over two years now too, so she's got a decent amount of appearances under her belt. I don't think we'll see her in this set unless we get really lucky, but I can see getting her in the next year or so.



That would be fantastic, but we should add Plastique to the list. She was o nthe very first lineup, after all. Man, if we started getting more vehicles in clix I would love getting Briscoe and Sheba.

She is cool then thats a start and you never know when someone at NECA will glom on to her

Hate to correct you but Plastique was NOT on the first lineup

The first lineup was Captain Boomerang,Enchantress, Deadshot, Rick Flagg, Bronze Tiger and the late unlamented Blockbuster 1 that appeared in Legends

Now the line up from the first issue of their book that is another thing entirely and that had Captain Boomerang,Enchantress, Deadshot, Rick Flagg, Bronze Tiger and the unclixed Plastique, Nemesis and Mindboggler
Actually Justice Legion A are completely new figures. They may share the names but its like saying that Damian is a remake of Dick Grayson or Major Astro is a remake of Justice

He's also a guy that, at least for a while, outsmarted Batman, then mind-controlled Superman until Wonder Woman was forced to kill him, then he came back from the dead and made the entire world forget he ever existed so he could plot and plan without anyone being the wiser. As of now, he's one of the primary evil masterminds of the DCU.

And his connections to Checkmate go back to the first volume of that book, not to mention how many JLI fans there are that really want him.

I like my L-Ron bystander, and I can use the old Despero if I need that version, so... Max Lord is much more necessary.

Fixed it for you.

It might happen, I suppose. It should happen, but for whatever reason, I just don't think it will. I hope to be wrong on that, though.

As for the Suicide Squad itself, regardless of who was on what lineup, we really do need a Rick Flagg, Nemesis and Plastique. Preferably a Mark Shaw, too. I'd happily trade off some of the figs in my proposed list to get those (though getting Mark Shaw before Paul Kirk would irk me).

Getting the female Manhunter before Paul Kirk irked me.

I despise what they did to Mark Shaw in order to hardsell that lame character.

Same here, though despite that I actually do kinda dig Kate Spencer. I hated that retcon plotline, but the series, on the whole, was actually not bad. I just kinda ignore the whole Dumas thing, and I think most of the DC writers do the same (so far).

Of course them ignoring Dumas is likely just do to the fact that nobody really has a ny use for Manhunter at the moment

That's just being anal about details for the sake of it. Technically you're wrong too, the first Suicide Squad lineups are the 4-person team of Flag, Karen Grace, Evans, and Bright, or the WW2 team of soldiers.


She's on the first lineup of the team in its own book. She's on the cover of the first issue of Suicide Squad. I consider the team from issue 1 as the first lineup, and I always will. It's the team for me.

Also, the team also had Nightshade, Karen Grace, and Briscoe/Sheba, if I remember correctly.

Hey you can't be too anal about what's probably the best Super Villain Book Ever Written.

Seriously...Thunderbolts is close...but I'd still say Ostrander is slightly better.

You're absolutely right. It's just that, they are a variation or extension of existing heros. I wanted fresh blood. I was actually hoping to see the JL-million in a Zero Hour themed set. Imagine a setlist that spanned through most of DC's history, from Anthro to Kamandi and everything in between.

Dick Bats at #031 w00t!

While I'm not opposed to the character, or figure... this is just one less "original" character that got made. Likewise I'd be perfectly happy if this were the only Batman in the set.

I mean, as the days go by, the chance of me getting Vibe in this set decreases rapidly. Can you imagine a better set suited to including Vibe? I can - it was called Justice League, and he wasn't in it. If not know, when?

I understand what you're saying, but a Dick-Bats needed to happen and happen soon. It's appropriate to be in this set, file under "current events." There's more going on now than just the Rainbow Brigade. I'd have been upset if he wasn't here.

Likewise, I'd have been upset if he was the only Batman, and we didn't get anything to represent Golden Age Bruce in the Anniversary set.

So I'd say two is perfect...



How about if they make a Detroit League collector's set? Not for mass production. They could just make one and mail it to you.
