I think the most recent San Diego Comic Con, Hasbro had a Marvel Legends display with tons of skulls on the ground, to go with the Sentinels. I don't have anywhere near that many, but one bit I didn't get to was that in the AoA, dozens if not hundreds of Spirits of Vengeance had been called up, then killed by Apocalypse, which was why there were always skulls and fires everywhere. And Vengeance would've been the current Ghost Rider, because why not? Ah, that's a figure I didn't get at the time, but would much later: he's one of the very few Toy Biz Legends that's not been remade, although I think there were Ghost Rider movie figures for him, even if he wasn't in said movies. (Aside: along with Vengeance, the other Toy Biz Legend I still have in regular rotation is Beta Ray Bill. Hasbro made one, with a less ornate, less Thor-style costume; the old one and the even older Silver Surfer Bill are better.)

Not bad, not bad. I’d say you wrapped up your AoA adventure fairly cleanly actually considering how much more complicated it potentially could’ve gotten for Sat to go back home. And you left us with some juicy soap opera-worthy gossip on the way out. Nice.
So the only one who made out well in AoA is… I think Juggernaut? Whoever the guy with the cyborg body and flamethrower is- I can’t tell but the armor reminds me of Juggernaut’s. That guy doesn’t look like a dork.
So that’s the updated version of Nemesis ( Apocalypse’s son) & he definitely looks a lot better than his initial version. And yes, considering he went all Buddhist monk & finally found the inner peace in this world he’d never find in the main universe, I’d say Juggernaut definitely came out better in the AoA universe.
Oh, good for him (I mean Juggernaut- I know nothing about Nemesis). Hope he kept the armor though- that was always one of my favorite things about him.
He didn’t.
