Namor – This is a character who I’ve always read as an antagonist in someone else’s book, or as a member of the Avengers, so I’m used to him being the hot-tempered, head-strong one. I don’t know how he works as a protagonist, but I hear good things about his book done by Byrne, especially where the air/water imbalance is brought up as the reason for his moodiness.
Subterraneans – “Hey, Jack! We need some weird looking minions!” “No problem, Stan!”
Sunder – I honestly didn’t know this guy even had a name until just now. He’s always in the background as a Morlock enforcer.
Sunfire – Is Shiro the most underused, but still popular, of the X-Men? I don’t remember him being in very many comics, but his appearance on “Amazing Friends” made him super recognizable to my generation.
Sunspot – I haven’t read a whole lot of New Mutants, but Roberto’s seemed to be in EVERY ad due to his unique look. I like how he took over the Jubilee role of “new student” in X-Men 97.
(Note to self: Get sea shells when on vacation.)
Sub-Mariner: Man, the girls would really freak out of if you showed them some of those old Golden Age Schomburg covers were Namor looks like he had his head stretched in a rack…or had a head that would give Flattop a run for his money!
Subterraneans: The non-Moloids look a bit like the race Thor thought in his first appearnce. Very Easter Island.
Sunfire: I think he’s up there with Stingray for obscure, little used character with a really great look. And strangley both predominantly red and white!
Sunspot: As Gene mentioned above he featured heavily in X-Men ’97, and as a result a new action figure of him in this look was just revealed at SDCC. So good timing!
Sunfire: I have a running joke with him that he leaves any team faster than anyone.
Sunspot is really afraid of losing the people he loves after he lost his girlfriend in the New Mutants graphic novel.
Namor: He really grew for me in his 70s solo title. He stops being a jerk and begin to fight as an eco terrorist against global warming.
Both Namor & Thor are super arrogant, but I don’t mind it on Namor for some odd reason, & can anyone tell me why in the book Marvels he is naked when he goes to the surface world for the first time?
Great show, Squad! Tyrannoids look like court artist renditions of Moloids.
