Least favorite Valiant title/Character(s)??

Leatus IV · Post by **Leatus IV** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 9:00 am

Now I know everyone has their favorite characters but who is your least favorite??

I never got into Ninjak,Armorines,or the Psi-Lords and felt like some of the characters were just made up on the fly to have more books on the shelves...I also never cared much for the second Rai after the first got killed in Unity(I thought that was a mistake) as I thought he was rather lame compared to his predicessor....Then there were the Akklaim characters.....I have the entire run of the X-O akkLAME series except the last issue.I've had it for like two or three years now and have never even read it....So before I do is there any mention of Aric or the original armor??Or will it become part of my list??

I always felt that Turok: Dinosaur Hunter never really fitted well in
the Valiant Universe. Taking Turok out of the Lost Land sort of robbed the
character of what made him unique. I think Valiant should Solar not destroy the Lost Land at the end of Unity he seals the Black Hole and destroys the Mother God's tower, then he meets Turok who vows to keep the Mother God secure in her wormhole prison. Turok then begins to help rebuild the Lost Land and protect it.

After Turok: Dinosaur Hunter titles like Bloodshot, The Eternal Warrior, Psi Lords, Hard C.O.R.P.s and the Post Unity Rai were characters that I didn't get much into.

At first I felt just like you, but while doing the wiki I came to gain a better appreciation for those characters as well as the Post BQuake stories.

The bad characters are the VH 2 watered down versions, that had the VALIANT names but were nothing more than rip offs from DC and Marvel.

Armorines,the Psi-Lords and Secret Weapons after they changed from the Valiant Avengers-type book to whatever the hell they were+Bloodshot.

I am getting all the Ninjak VH2 books and they are interesting, but compared to the VH1 Ninjak book its pretty lame. Magnus VH2 is just odd as well, some of the issues have a very meta feel about them, when he should be you know, fighting robots.

Psi Lords would be my least favorite, followed closely by Geomancer, Hard Corps and Armorines.

I've never read PsiLords but it just looks stupid to me. (Sadly I will buy all of the issues just to complete my collection)

Secret Weapons (even though that's not one character). I never read Psi Lords, Armorines, or Dr. Mirage so I can't comment on them.

'PunX 'and 'The Outcast' should have never been made IMO. Just shows how far off course things were getting with Valiant without Jim at the helm.

I forgot all about Outcast. Yes, that's horrible too.

Bloodshot is the one case where I think the VH2 version of the character was a little better.

Turok was a great character, but Valiant just did not do a good job with the stories once he got his own series.

I accually liked psi lords, with some more time it could have been cool to dig in to what living for 2000 years does to someone
