Magdalena should have her spear start showing off why it's an artifact on part of the 13. Honestly the whole Top Cow line needs an upgrade. I think Velocity is pretty awesome. I know nothing about her outside her mini (which was a very fun read btw). |

Really as I said in my previous post, the problem with Top Cow is that there is so much good stuff in top cow that needs to be developed/written on but too few writers to actually make it happen.

I could really let myself slip into Top Cow if they have more stories with Velocity in them. I understand she is on a team. Does this team have an ongoing?

I understand she is on a team. Does this team have an ongoing? the team no, but she has a series that is still running. I could really let myself slip into Top Cow There is so much good stuff in Top Cow, even if there isn't currently and ongoing Cyber-Force. |

Still running? I understood her series was a 4 issue mini that just finished when she saved her team.

I got all 4. www.comicvine.com/velocity/49-34029/ |

Weird, the cover I saw is the one for 4 but I remember it saying it was issue 7...
might just be a misprint and I could be wrong.
Top Calender lists issue 4 as coming out in May....

Too bad because I could totally get into that series. I found Velocity to be a charming character and the art was stellar.

And Velocity did appear in artifacts as well with the rest of her team. They got into a fight with Sarah, Jackie and the rest of the artifacts wielders trying to stop the apocalypse the new villain is trying to instigate. |

I have always wanted to see Daredevil get an equipment upgrade. His powers make him an ideal candidate for Webshooters which I think would make him more effective. I would also give him some vibranium billy clubs so that he can face off against people like Wolverine or others with weapons that can cut through most things. Maybe he gets them from T'Challa when he becomes the Man without Fear again. It would be cool if when he tapped them together they released a blast of energy from previous encounters so that he could take on bigger foes. I think this would really put Daredevil in the big leagues in terms of capability.
In that same vein, I want Spidey to go back to using the Iron Spider Suit. I realize that it was the Stark Tech that made him pensive but the Scarlet Spiders figured out to get rid of it so Spidey being a genius should be able to do the same. Especially now that he has no Spider Sense, it would be a great tool for compensating. I also really liked the red and gold but that is really a personal preference as it could appear in any colors he wanted. I would like 4 waldoes like the Scarlet Spiders though not three.
I have suggested this in previous threads but I want either Clint Barton or Bucky Barnes to become the next Iron Man. I would like Bucky so that Clint can become Captain America but either could really do the job. EIther way, this would be a huge upgrade for either of them. Stark just needs to stop stretching himself so thin because when he does it bad things happen. He needs to do what he does best which is not being Iron Man. He like Steve Rogers needs to put up his armor and start working hevaily behind the scenes to make things better. Maybe he could be become some sort of Stealth Iron Man working for Steve's Secret Avengers if he really needs a superhero buzz from time to time. Steve is a smart guy and would know when he would need Tony's expertise. Similarly, Henry Pym needs to stop being Ant-man/Giant Man/Yellowjacket/whatever name he is using this week. He should pass on his role to others. I personally would like to see Luke Cage get himself from Pym Particles and become Giant Man.
I agree with NeXus in that Cyclops definitely needs a power boost or some sort of upgrade. I have considered him being Iron Man as well but instead of relying on repulsor tech he relies on the limitless energy that flows out of his eyes. Maybe through some sort of ruby quartz fiber optics he could channel his optic blasts throughout his armor.
Those are all that I can think of at the moment, good thread.

Daredevil with energy blasts.
I think I peed myself a little.
YES.
The Scarlet Spiders also seemed to be able to fire some kind of offensive energy balls from their waldoes. I'd like to see Petey's suit do that as well.
Heck to the yes. I've wanted Clint to become Cap ever since Steve died and the shield was up for grabs.
Now there's an interesting idea. I didn't think of something like that.
It would also make a great PR boost for the mutant community if their leader is the new Iron Man (Yes, I want Cyclops to stay in charge for a long time. F**k Cannonball. He's not cool enough yet.)
The only problem is, I can't realistically see any of these wishes ever coming true. They'd all be such major changes to the status quo. Marvel usually hates significantly altering the status quo.

This will never happen, I know that. I am not so deluded to think that Marvel would do something awesome like this.
Not Daredevil with Energy Blasts, it is Daredevil with Energy Blasts AND Webshooters.
Were Spider-man's Iron Spider waldoes incapable of firing energy blasts? Maybe he just didn't use them?
The one thing that I want to prevent mostly is Steve taking back the shield. He needs to be were he is right now. Bucky is great but the shield needs to be earned and I think that Clint has more than proved himself. His only real objection to becoming Captain America was that he did not want to be Stark's hero catcher, right? Also, I dislike his Ronin outfit and he already passed on his Hawkeye legacy, no takesies backsies. Also, I really like Kate Bishop as Hawkeye. When Patriot gets a little older and more experienced, I want him to take up the shield. It could also be interesting to see Cyclops take up the shield. Cyclops could easily become either Cap or Iron Man. Both would go a long way towards easing human mutant relations. You know I am not a fan of Cyclops so this coming from me is quite the endorsement.

I'd love to see Daredevil train with Iron Fist and develop his chi into something he can use offensively. Maybe in a Temugin-style way. Also I love the idea of Daredevil getting a Vibranium Suit/Vibranium Billy-Clubs.
I'd also love to see Taskmaster used to his full capabilities. Something like an UDON Taskmaster with a proper replica of Cap's Shield and combine more with his Hawkeye-style trick arrows.

I didn't think of upping Daredevil's chi skills, that would be interesting. I think that a Vibranium Suit may hamper his radar sense as it may absorb some of the sound and vibrations that he normally relies upon. Maybe a vibranium chest piece or maybe on all his joints to make his movements soundless but not a full on suit like Agent Zero or Black Panther.
I could see Clint Barton as Captain America doing something similar to what you want for Taskmaster.
Something I have always thought should happen is Clark Kent getting a Lantern Ring. He has 2 physical weaknesses, magic and kryptonite. A lantern ring without constructs can provide him with protection from both. Nothing could stop him. Fighting Darkseid and Doomsday would be much easier with that extra power. If he doesn't have the willpower for a green one, then give him a Blue one. Even with no Green lantern nearby it is still capable of generating a personal shield that would protect him from magic and kryptonite.

I cannot see Clint as Captain America. He just does not command presence to do it. His shinning moment was when he was the unofficial leader of the New Avengers and he screwed that up big time. He is not leader material.
Cyclops should get an upgrade but I want the upgrade he implied he had. The ability to form his blasts from anywhere in his body.

I usually get annoyed to see characters with weapon access not being utilized as standard. example the X-men should be wearing unstable molecules just like the FF which means their uniform should be able to stop dead cold weapon fire with no injury to the wearer minus small bruises or maybe a small localized burn.. the unstable molecules have been stated to be better than kevlar but we dont see it being written as a protective suit of that caliber. Wolverine should be written as he used to be written and not some level 3 fighter with a penchant to run into a beating just to show off his healing factor anyone who has seen the movie knows he has it so no need to show it in every damn story. let him wear his unstable molecule uniform, kevlar style vest made of vibranium or some other strong metal, give him a gun, let him use his tech he has acquired in his career that he keeps stored in his room and forgotten, cloaking device, tech sword, teleporter, meta human grenade tech, holo imager, tech armor.. these are all things he owns yet is forgotten after end of a story. all these things could come in handy when you know he is fighting crime and super villain, let him also fight like the level 7 that he is and stop making face off with human or peak human's as his enemies. aside from that writers need to focus more on his superhuman attributes and his adaptive healing factor we know he is suppose to be getting bigger and stronger at the least give 5 ton strength and better durability making his skin denser like coiled steel  |
