Okay, here's a couple characters I brainstormed for a long time ago (back in the Ally days), but never returned to, mainly because of mini availability.
Quote:
The figure used for this unit is a ??? figure from the ??? set.
Its model number and name are #??? / ???.
NAME = CRIME-MASTER
SECRET IDENTITY = BENNETT BRANT
SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CRIME LORD
PERSONALITY = FLIPPANT
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5
LIFE = 4
MOVE = 5
RANGE = 4
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 3
POINTS = ???
SAVAGE SIX
Unique Heroes you control that have the Savage personality add 1 to their Attack numbers. When a Unique Hero you control with the Savage personality is destroyed, you may move any unrevealed Order Markers from its Army Card to this card.
CRIMINAL ESCAPE PLAN
Figures engaged with at least one Common Criminal you control cannot roll for leaving engagement attacks against Crime-Master.
SPECIALIZED WEAPON SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 3.
Figures roll 3 fewer defense dice against this special attack.
______________________________________ Bio - Crime-Master is none other than Bennett Brant, the long-thought-dead brother of Betty Brant. Bennett was seemingly killed after getting in over his head with a crook known as "Blackie", but a mysterious organization revived him to take on the mantle of the Crime-Master. He set up a criminal empire and established a reputation as an arms-dealer. He managed to escape the notice of most superheroes, but eventually wound up on Agent Venom's radar. Crime-Master assembled a cadre of villains known as the "Savage Six" to try to take down Venom.
The figure used for this unit is a ??? figure from the ??? set.
Its model number and name are #??? / ???.
NAME = JACK O'LANTERN
SECRET IDENTITY =
SPECIES = MUTATE
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = ASSASSIN
PERSONALITY = SAVAGE
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5
LIFE = 6
MOVE = 6
RANGE = 4
ATTACK = 2
DEFENSE = 4
POINTS = ???
DEADLY SHOT
When attacking with Jack O'Lantern, each skull rolled counts as one additional hit.
EVASIVE FLYING
When Jack starts to fly, he will not take any leaving engagement attacks. When Jack rolls defense dice against an attack from a non-adjacent figure without the Flying or Stealth Flying special power, 1 shield will block all damage, and you may immediately move Jack one space for each shield rolled.
BRAINWASHED FLUNKIES
Before placing Order Markers at the start of each round, if Jack is destroyed, you may choose a Common Human on the battlefield and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 13 or higher, destroy that figure, place or remove Wound Markers on this card until Jack has 2 Life remaining, and then place Jack on the space that figure previously occupied.
SUPER STRENGTH
FLYING
______________________________________ Bio - Jack O'Lantern was a young boy (real name unknown, alias "Jack") kidnapped by Crime-Master. Crime-Master managed to twist the boy to his own ends, raising him to be a monstrous assassin. Jack O'Lantern thinks of Crime-Master as his real father, and harbors an intense grudge against Flash Thompson. Though he was defeated and imprisoned by Flash, Jack O'Lantern continues to haunt him - Jack O'Lantern has hidden caches of equipment staffed by robotic underlings. When someone stumbles into one, they are brainwashed into becoming a new Jack, with his personality, powers, and skills.

I tried to design these versions to fit together well mechanically, not just by hard synergies. They'll also want some Street Thugs to bond with Crime-Master and be flunky fodder for Jack. For the record, the other Savage Heroes are:
None of them the actual Savage Six members (none of those guys are designed yet and most don't even have minis), but Conan aside, they're all decent-to-great fits.
I'm not 100% sure on the Brainwashed Flunkies power for Jack - technically it's something that's only happened once in the comics. But it was kind of a big, important story (well, important to Jack and Venom) and it combo'd really well with what I already had in mind for Crime-Master, so I figured I'd at least throw it out there.
