What characters do you feel could be much better if only they got some attention/decent writing?

Pic related, he was the highlight of an otherwise mediocre run.

when does he fight ryu

Fuck you and your shit taste.

I thought Akuma was used a lot

Ok, you guys dont like Lash.
How about the actual poiny of the topic?

Wonder Woman's rogues.

Almost nobody actually uses them, and they've suffered greatly for it.

Could any Marvel characters survive a direct hit from the Shun Goku Satsu?

Keep in mind, it destroys the victim's very soul.
>>
>>77505146
Lash's entire setup needs more explaining as well as his gang. I don't get his criteria for who he keeps, only a handful can fight and he has children and elderly living in orrollan.
>>
>>77505593
Bison was perfectly fine
>>
>>77505614
IIRC he ejected his soul from his body at the last second, or something.
>>
>>77505595
I completely agree. I feel like the idea for the is interesting enough, it just needs to be explained/expanded.

And his design needs some tweaking, to avoid the whole Akuma thing.
>>
>>77505593
Akuma was bad ass in the beginning with his super instant-death movement but after capcom made everyone and their mom survive it, he lost its appeal.
>>
>>77505735
He still has the best theme in the Street Fighter franchise, though

Phaeder.
For an obscure character, he has had a huge impact on Marvel history behind the scenes
>He was a master inhuman geneticist exiled from Attilan by Black Bolt's father Agon
>He kept studying genetics, moving to Lemuria where he bred with a Deviant and had a son called Maelstrom
>Phaeder left his research to many characters
>He gave the High Evolutionary his findings on genetics (pic related). So Phaeder is responsible for everything the HE ever did, including Spider-Woman, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch
>Responsible for Magneto creating Alpha the Ultimate Mutant
>Responsible for Jackal learning how to clone
>Responsible for Arnim Zola learning how to clone, and thus for the Red Skull and the Hate-Monger's resurrections
>Responsible for the Enclave creating Adam Warlock
>Maelstrom went on to be a top-tier villain, threatening the Inhumans and later all of reality as an avatar of oblivion

It would be easy to bring him back and use him as a cool villain
>>
Marvel - Polaris, Fantomex, Longshot

DC - Doom Patrol

wow thats some fanfic-writer bullshit ex machina
>>
>>77505903
Well how the fuck else are you supposed to explain "this guy survived an attack that COMPLETELY DESTROYS YOUR SOUL"
>>
>>77505903

But Bison's whole schtick is about his soul being mobile or whatever. That's what he does. There are a half dozen characters in the Street Fighter roster that only even exist because Bison made them as backup bodies to move his soul into should his current body be destroyed. It's also why he brainwashed Cammy for a while, so he could steal her body later on. When that failed, he cloned her a bunch of times.

So him popping his soul out to keep from getting killed for good is a pretty reasonable thing for him to be able to do.
>>
>>77505146
All of the Villains introduced in inhuman needs more development as well as reader and Auran. Soule was crazy to bring in that many characters and give them two chapter arcs a piece. I hope Karnak's solo is great if it doesn't get delayed for all eternity.


Hummingbird from new scarlet warriors and spider, if anybody can write her story since Yost is gone.
>>
>>77506097
That's my main issue with the latest Inhumans run. Lots of characters with potential (Iso, Reader, Lash) and not nearly enough character development to expand them.
>>
>>77505146
Now that Lash has been in a TV show and a videogame, and will be in a cartoon, he's pretty much cemented himself as an Inhumans villain and is bound to get used more often by other writers
>>
>>77506225
Which cartoon will he be in?
>>
>>77506257
Avengers Assemble season 3

Two of my favorite characters, yet Marvel always seems to forget they exist.

wtf is wrong with her clothes? what a fucking slut

>>77506509
Now that you mention it, i cant even remember the last comic i saw them in. Damn.

Aren't they going to be in ASM as Mr. negative's minions?

Has he come back? Last time I saw him he gave up running hell. What's this about nightcrawler having no soul?

Also magik got her soul back during the Zeb Wells run of New Mutants.
