Talk of Riptide in the First Class movie, prompted me to look for a Your Favorite Marauders thread, but there was none, and I was shocked! So tell me CV, who is your favorite! Cookies are given for participation, probably, possibly. First Marauder to get ten favorite spots from ten different posters wins a chance to be cloned by Mr or Miss Sinister, in a future X-Men story!
Marauders
Team » Marauders appears in 739 issues.
The Marauders are most well known as a group of henchmen for Mr Sinister, assembled by Gambit. They are responsible for the slaughter of the Morlocks. The name has also been co-opted by Kitty Pryde for her X-Men squad, charged with protecting the Krakoan gates around the world.
Who Is Your Favorite Marauder?
Lady Mastermind. Her infiltration of the X-Men was beautiful. Traditional Marauders I always liked Harpoon. I remember back in the day I was fascinated by his red haired bowl cut, and how he was one of two characters pictured ripping Warren's feathers out.
Edit: Just noticed the "official" list of choices. I'll substitute Lady Mastermind for Vertigo.
Probably Scalphunter because of awesomeness and moustache. Prism sucks, just had to get it out.
Sabretooth when he used to be one.
Sorry, just saw the list. Uh... Since Gambit doesn't count I guess I'll say Riptide.
Scalphunter.
@SC: You think she looks like Boom Boom? Hrm... I don't see it myself. But I like Polaris, and when Malice was introduced it was one of the first time's Lorna Havok were separated. Huzzah! Plus, Malice really was under-rated & often forgotten.
I'd say Vertigo, but I suffer from it myself so I just wanna kick her skinny green & white arse. But Arclight gets my support for having funky punky purple hair, and a sexy feminine outfit while retaining her 'take no prisoners' attitude :D
Vertigo.
Why is that, if I may ask?
Sure, I just wanted people to think a bit harder and out of the box and give a more... well, Gambit and Sabretooth are sort of likely to be peoples favorite characters, but do they really define what being a Marauder is all about? Are they peoples favorite Marauders, or just their favorite character from a list of names? Does that make sense?
Vertigo is a great answer, she really encompasses the feel of the team. People can still vote for the other characters if they wish though naturally. I just didn't want to make it easy *grin*
Great answers people! Yey, go Vertigo! She takes the lead!
Vertigo - 5
Scalphunter - 4
Riptide - 2
Malice - 1
Prism - Negative 1
@xerox-kitty: Oh you get vertigo? Sounds exasperating! I use to have a slight fear of heights and use to get it minimally. I love Arclight! She so needs to follow Frenzy's cue and have a reinvention! (or really just have a writer throw her a bone)
Definitely Scalphunter. I get the whole Marauder vibe from him the most because the marauders have always been portrayed as cold, professional killers and Scalphunter seems to embody that best.
