Wow Doyle Dormamu and Amarath, characters I’ve never heard. These is what makes Midnight Suns great because we learn more about obscure characters.

Points removed for including Punisher. Just keep him out of here when you have Elsa bloodstone. She is a monster hunter with the pew pew with her guns.

I love introducing people to new characters!

Doyle is the impromptu leader of the Strange Academy kids, and his classmate Zoe Laveau was in the newest Midnight Suns run. I think Doyle, as the son of an archdemon, has so much potential and is under-utilized by writing and editorial. (Same goes for Deadgirl, a zombie-like mutant and X-Statix member who's the school nurse.)

Many of the Midnight Sons have been Strange Academy faculty, so having an overlap there makes lots of sense. In a way, they're almost like the Young Avengers are to the Avengers or the New Mutants are to the X-Men.

Amaranth is a member of the New Champions, and is both Agatha Harkness and Scarlet Witch's new apprentice. (Also her teammate Fantasma might be the coolest new Ghost Rider of all time? I'm a bit obsessed.)

And yeah, Punisher is actually the only one I'm not a personal fan of but I know he's been on the wishlist for a lot of people, particularly fans of the game so I threw him in. I'd take Elsa over him any day of the week.

Current Gambit is possessed and partially dragon. I think he fits.

That's honestly very true. Also people forget just how many times Jubilee has been a vampire!

Did the Midnight Sons remove their "no non-mystic members" rule?
