Yeah because whatever this last X-Factor iteration was it wasn't good.
Whatever they are planning for Storm doesn't change the fact that she's been used poorly for years now.Y'all complaining about Storm when she's supposed to have a whole book or team book centered around her soon
Anyways, comic book fans are worse than wrestling fans
Aqualad becomes Aquaman this fall in new series
Jackson Hyde, known to fans of Teen Titans and the animated Young Justice show as Aqualad, will apparently graduate to the mantle of Aquaman this fall, as he gets his own series titled Aquaman: The Becoming.
Written by Brandon Thomas with art from Diego Olortegui, Wade von Grawbadger, and Adriano Lucas, Aquaman: The Becoming will mark Jackson Hyde's first solo title, albeit a six-issue series..
It's unclear how Hyde will graduate into the mantle of Aquaman, and if he will replace the original (and only) Aquaman Arthur Curry.
Aquaman: The Becoming #1 is due out in September.

One Of The Last Real Ones To Do It
I guess the 60’s and 00’s were really competitive and great characters so save those for the top 20 characters.
Also not choosing Mr. Sinister is complete BS. John Walker over Apocalypse is also Bullshyt.
They based a lot of their choices on characters that have been in MCU projects and gives that more weight than the importance of the characters in the comics.
No disrespect to him, but northstar the best new character in 1979? Im gonna have to call a flag on the play over that one
I would've picked Black Cat, Ant-Man (Scott Lang), or James Rhodes.
I wanted to defend some of those choices by saying "this character wasn't all that/that character wasn't fully fleshed out in such and such year"
but if that was the case, rocket racc00n wouldn't be up there.

They picked Howard the Duck over Thanos.I wanted to defend some of those choices by saying "this character wasn't all that/that character wasn't fully fleshed out in such and such year"

They picked Howard the Duck over Thanos.
Im guessing they just looked up first appearances and then looked at the covers. I've legit seen a lot of people be like "
oh he showed up in Iron Man with them 2 goons then Infinity Gauntlet/Gems/Stones"Folks don't seem to know about that Cosmic Cube fukkery with Mar-Vell
King Harlem
Superstar
