Re: Characters you'd like to see in VEI?
It's a good sign that I had been able to forget his name at least. I didn't like him for the same reasons I don't like Dr. Eclipse: Silly characitures of the hero which they are a villain for. Like Bizzaro Superman. Portrayed as crazy and simple minded, they don't need any deeper motivation than one single emotion (pick one at random from hate, jealousy, anger, misguided worship, etc).Elveen wrote:Yes.

Re: Characters you'd like to see in VEI?
Agree! In the X-O Manowar Kindle story I'm working on, I've already planned to use Alexander Dorian and Orb Industries more. I think X-O always needs more supporting characters, VH1 X-O had the same problem: it weakened the title when it killed Ken and Randy, IMO, and never even brought back Lauren.Phoenix8008 wrote:I want to see more of Alexander Dorian, maybe with some X-O Commando armor on? Or just dealing with Orb industries and handling assassination attempts from other Human looking Vine and their agents. With how the X-O Manowar story line has gone up to now, I don't know how or if we will ever see Aric in control of Orb industries like in the original series. While it was a nice story line seeing the barbarian working as CEO of a major company, I would be okay either way if it eventually does/does not happen.

Agreed!Scarabus wrote:I would like to see more of Darpan. This character has a lot of potential being as he was fleshed out thoroughly in Harbinger 0 but we haven't seen him since. Considering he is one of only three psiots born activated, he was built up to have some major importance that as of yet has not been seen. I think he's an interesting character and maybe one of the most potentially powerful psiots in the new Valiant universe.

REALLY? That...would be very cool! I really liked that character. Thumbs up to that if so, great decision.mateo107 wrote:looks like Spylocke is back in RAI.

Re: Characters you'd like to see in VEI?
After they settle Rai in 4001 and maybe give us a little more of that future time through EW, I wouldn't mind seeing the return of the Psi-Lords in some fashion. I loved the concept and even enjoyed the old series for what it was.

Re: Characters you'd like to see in VEI?
I dunno, the original Psi-Lords was a pretty lame title, IMO. However, VEI seems to be doing things right. If they used them in some capacity, I'm sure they'd do a better job with it.Phoenix8008 wrote:After they settle Rai in 4001 and maybe give us a little more of that future time through EW, I wouldn't mind seeing the return of the Psi-Lords in some fashion.

Re: Characters you'd like to see in VEI?
I agree, VEI have been doing a fantastic job of updating their IPs so far and genuinely making them exciting and interesting. Personally I have no idea what Psi-Lords was all about but I don't see why they couldn't do it with them too as long as they can make them applicable to the current universe and compelling in their own way.bamaphilosopher wrote:I dunno, the original Psi-Lords was a pretty lame title, IMO.

Re: Characters you'd like to see in VEI?
As I'm recollecting my old VH1 collection I've been reading Ninjak, and although a lot of People will call him a knockoff Sabrtooth clone, I'd love to see Borkov the White wolf pi up in VEI. Would be a nice foil for Ninjak. Would also like to see the Bloodshot villains Glyder and Cinder show up, let us know there are other psiots out there using their powers, and blatantly so, in the service of Webnet, or as freelance assassins Plus, wanna see Paraman rebooted, maybe make it a running joke/homage to VH1, by having him die, and someone else constantly taking up the mantle, ala Hardcorps.

Re: Characters you'd like to see in VEI?
Not so much a character, but an organisation.
I would love to see a revitalised Weaponeer. Maybe turn it into a network of people, where you have one head and nobody else knows their place outside of their specific role.

Re: Characters you'd like to see in VEI?
You know who we really need? R. L. McNeely. Shadowman needs to clean its act first, but we really need that nutcase running around.
It's good to see that Kay McHenry is supposed to return soon, because I've been missing her. VEI's done a good job making the Geomancers this force you actually don't want to mess with, and it's a shame to not see anything done with it outside the small arc or two Kay was introduced in.
Armorines also need to be in, preferably looking as close to the VH1 version as possible. I need my ODST fix dammit.
Finally, I'm sure I've mentioned it in another thread, but I would also like to see some more VH2 characters make their way into the mix. N.I.O, Trinity Angels, Troublemakers, VH2 Ninjak, etc.

Re: Characters you'd like to see in VEI?
It'd be really funny to see an homage to him walk past in the background of just ONE scene in the whole film. He could turn and wink at the camera whilst main characters are dialoguing or something. I'd settle for something funny like thatPhoenix8008 wrote:Nah, just put him in the Shadowman movie.Shadowman99 wrote:Rotwak.
