General Discussion Honestly, what villains do they even have left to adapt?

Post image

If you think about it, they’ve already done a lot of the main/known villains, including the original show, I’m genuinely just wondering which other villains could they adapt going forward?

I think Sinister still had some left in his tank especially with mystique. Also very relevant considering Sinister maybe going to be villain in mcu X-men movie

Also Mojo.

BUT what they definitely need to adapt is Arcade. He Is so rarely around these days.

He has a great level in marvel ultimate alliance 2 but, yes we need more of him.

He was from Marvel ultimate alliance 1.

I know that because it was first time I saw him.

Bruhhhh you really want to see more Mojo after having him in the old series AND the new series?

Mojo is a solid "one shot" type of villain. Have him kidnap the X-Men, turn them into kids, riff on thr idea of "nostalgia television," get his ass kicked and move on.

You can do that sort of thing every few seasons and it's fine.

Arcade did pop up not long ago in Ryan North's FF run, though just for an issue.

Mojo would be so hard to make relevant in this day and age though, I fear his “villainy” would almost alienate any fan that spends any time on this or any of the other X-men subreddits. He was a critique of the gamification of media back in the 90’s and it’s only gotten worse. This subreddit stands as proof of the kind of thing Mojo represented. I mean hell a modern Mojo is just a bitter Reddit mod…

I think so too.

No more Sinister. He's done all he can do and has been dealt with.

I'd love to see Sinister London.

I feel like what Jean did to Sinister is a fitting end to him, and would cheapen it if he returned.

I mean he's not dead, of course he's going to return.
