Remember Top Trumps? Of course you do they are still around today. But did you know how oddly obscure the waddingtons marvel heroes one got? (We'll get to the villains later)
Here's the 32 Heroes who made the cut back in 1988 - with my opinions.
1 Captain America - Iconic, Big Name, Avenger
2 Thor - Big Name, Avenger
3 Iron Man - Big Name, Avenger
4 Hawkeye - Well Known Avenger
5 Wasp - Well Known Avenger
6 Antman (Scott Lang) - Avenger, Not Pym, but fair enough.
7 Spider-man - Iconic Marvel Hero
8 Black Cat - Spider-mans only real heroic supporting cast.
9 Mr Fantastic - Iconic Team FF
10 Inivisble Girl - Iconic Team FF
11 The Thing - Iconic Team FF
12 Human Torch - Iconic Team FF
13 Nick Fury - Head of Shield always invovled in heroic things.
14 Black Panther - Well Knonw Hero, also Part-Time Avenger
15 Wolverine - You known who he is.
16 Power Man - Luke Cage in Sweet Christmas mode
17 Dr Strange - Sorcerer Supreme
18 Captain Marvel: Monica Rambeau - Um? Don't know much about her.
19 Daredevil - The Man Without Fear
20 Elektra - Man without fears dead ninja girlfriend
21 The Hulk - SMASH
22 She-Hulk - Sexy SMASH
23 Stingray - Underwater Superhero?
24 Aguila - Zorro with an electric sword abilit as far as I understand.
25 American Eagle - Um .. Native American Superhero
26 Moondragon - Obscure Space hero?
27 Silver Surfer - Reformed Herald of Galactus
28 The Gardener - Obscure now dead Elder of the Universe
29 Falcon - Captain America's buddy cop superhero pal.
30 Nova: Hearld of Galactus - She was Glactus Herald for a while, exventually became heroic.
31 Spider-Woman (Julia Carpenter) - The one in the Ironman cartoon, went by Arachne later
32 Namor: The sub-Mariner - Under the sea, king of Atlantis sometime hero sometime villain.
So first thing you might notice is there are no X-Men (bar Wolverine who appears everywhere so fair enough) So let's keep with the tradition of the set and unless the x-men in question has been an avenger or significantly broken out on there own, don't include them.
FAN peeps who would you switch and replace for todays audience? (the villains have a seperate set which I will cover later.)
