Do you want Cap & Bucky to return?

I just use a repainted clix figure for the human torch, works well enough.

By that logic, why do we need a metal WWWIII Cap and Bucky then? There are certainly several Heroclix Captain Americas...

I was agitating for a metal Namor & Torch because the gun-toting Cap & Bucky are superior sculpts in a superior substance (can't stand those bendy 'clix! ). I also thought that Namor would be a good choice for WWWIII scenarios since as a misanthropic anti-hero he could show up on either side in a conflict, or as a third force warring against everybody.

Namor is a favorite of mine as well and may see something like him in the future.  It is not uncommon for him to throw 1/2 tracks around the battlefield and his favorite game is to pick  up a could Ratzis, fly straight up into the clouds and just let them loose.   You do have to be careful with him when fighting with the Human Torch because it is common for those two to get into it and that is not a pretty sight.  Luckily, Namor and Hammond respect Rogers and they usually keep their hatred in check that is if Cap is around.

He looks a bit funny but I wouldn't tell him that to his face.

[Plynkes]

If by "a bit funny" you mean "as gay as hell" then yes, I agree.

What's his story? In the 80s I used to read reprints of old 60s Marvel, and in those he seemed to be quite the bad guy a lot of the time.

[Weird WWII]

He is a half human half Atlantian Prince (royal type) of Atlantis.  Mother was Atlantian and Pop was human ship Captain.  After a human ship unknowingly damaged Atlantis and injuring the King, Namor was sent above to wreak revenge for the human transgression.  He attacked New York City and just kicked the Hell outta it.  He was then confronted by the android, Human Torch in comics first crossover ever.  He was later convinced by a human female cop the error in thinking that Atlantis was being attacked by the surface world.  He later fell in love with the gal and helped fight against the human criminal element as well as Nazis during WWII with other Golden Age heroes like Cap, Bucky, Human Torch and Toro.  In the Golden Age they were called the All-Winners Squad but in the later cannon they were named the Invaders.

His a short fused bad ass who has next to no remorse or pity so he makes the perfect warrior.  He can pick up several tons and fly.  He is also the Avenging Price of Atlantis and often leads the forces of Atlantis against his enemies.  He can breath underwater, swim fast as Hell and can see in near total darkness.

Has a ongoing aversion to the Human Torch but hates the Ratzis more for their attacks against his kingdom.

The Silver Age and Modern Age cannons are super complex so if you want to catch up check out his entry on Wikipedia.

  you tell me of one superhero in spandex who doesn't look gay:o

[Plynkes]

Of course you are right, but the Sub-Mariner looks especially gay. Even when he is making out with Reed Richards' wife he still somehow manages to look gay. 

[former user]

maybe because of the lack of textiles

[SBMiniaturesGuy]

It would be cool to see a line of Golden Age sculpts for the now "public domain" heroes of the 1940s like The Black Angel, Air Boy, Magno the Magnetic Man, etc.

awsome pic I see miss america there.

[Weird WWII]

There are quite a few PD Golden Age heroes on the board now and with Alex Ross doing art for their re-insertion into the comic industry it may be a good idea to do so.  A few are on our list but it's a way down the line for our projects.
