I seem to recall Aram hopping a time arc in Deathmate.

Trapped in the future, Dr. Ivar finds himself arcing from life to life, putting things right that once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next arc will be the arc home.

Any of the three brothers presumably would be able to hop a time arc, given their genetic predispositions. Regardless of which comic they appeared in, assuming thier Original valiant Universe origin was used.

Reminds me of "managers" at work. Hey! What if we (fill in the blank of something that they won't lift a finger to do)?

People scurry off and do all the work.

Manager: See! I knew we could do it! Great job, team!

Knowing Marvel, he'll probably make his triumphant return this year in a 12-issue story arc titled "Brand-Old Villains No One Cares About".

He should team up with the Gibbon and the Trapster.

Squirrel Girl is my fave cheesy-assed superhero.

Image

She has an uncanny habit of being able to defeat some of Marvels Elite Villains (some of whom no one else has beaten)

Following her defeat of Dr. Doom, an ongoing joke depicts Squirrel Girl repeatedly attaining victory over various villains, some of whom are considerably more powerful than she is. Typically, these victories occur off-panel, though some, like her battles with Deadpool, MODOK and Wolverine, are fully shown. Deadpool, having been bested by her twice, considers Squirrel Girl to be one of the major powers of the Marvel Universe, comparing her to Iron Man and Thor.[20]

Squirrel Girl's victories often result from her opponent's overconfidence (Doom, MODOK), weakness from an earlier fight (Deadpool), or creative use of her powers (Doom, Bi-Beast). For the most part, she defeats her opponents through the use of her wits. Her defeat of Bi-Beast was the result of "one of those super-hero team-ups" with The Thing. While visiting squirrel friends in Central Park, Squirrel Girl came across Thing fighting with Bi-Beast. She told the squirrels to retrieve the smelliest garbage they could find and place it around the combatants, resulting in everyone having to hold their noses. Bi-Beast had to use both hands to hold his noses, leaving himself defenseless, allowing Thing to knock him out.

Squirrel Girl's defeat of Thanos is an ambiguous one. Although Uatu was present at the battle and claimed that the Thanos that Squirrel Girl defeated was indeed genuine and not a clone or copy.[11] Thanos has since revealed that he has perfected a means of creating clones of himself that could fool even "the most cosmic of beings." Adding to the ambiguity is the fact the reveal comes from the mind of a clone whose memory had been altered.[21]

Thus far, Squirrel Girl has beaten:

Doctor Doom[7]
Mandarin[11]
Giganto[11]
MODOK[11]
Thanos[11]
Terrax[11]
Bug-Eyed Voice[4]
Bi-Beast[12]
Deadpool[13]
Pluto[14]
Fin Fang Foom[15]
Baron Mordo[15]
Korvac[15]
Ego the Living Planet[15]
Wolverine[17]
