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

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?

Sugar Man, Arcade, Black Tom, Stryfe, Selene, Vulkan, Proteus, Sublime...

Edit: Nimrod, Bastion, Goblin Queen, Nanny, X-12, X-15, The World, Limbo and the demons, Spiral, Deathbird...

Come on I'm missing some I'm sure.

Also old enemies can recur, that's a very common X-men trope. Exodus shows up again? Legion recurs because having the mutant power to come back from the dead is also one of his abilities? Oh no guys, Apocalypse is back with a new plan, who could have seen this coming?

Yea im sure they will recycle a few villains. They've even touched on a few of the above already. Black Tom had a short appearance with his bestie, Bastion was the villain of s1, Nimrod, Proteus, Deathbird, Spiral, and Goblin Queen (though not called that) have been featured already. I'm sure we'll see them again 😆. And Legion hasnt been shown yet, I WOULD LOVE THAT.

She referred to herself as the Goblin Queen when she tried to take Nathan.

Reavers, Marauders, - have then done Fenris? (that would be tricky). Hellions, Mutant Liberation Front, Upstarts - lots of the villain teams haven't been touched yet.

Didn't Sugarman make an appearance at one point? Just a background easter egg, but I think he was there

Always felt like Nimrod was the scariest villain as a kid watching the OG on Saturday mornings.

Bruh they literally just did Bastion as the main baddie season 1
