We get another 60s legend in Falcon, a couple of multi-team stalwarts in Forge and Firestar, and the always-confusing enigma that is Franklin Richards!
21. Q
We get our first classic 60s hero with Quicksilver, as well as all the Quasars and two of the best post-2000 new Marvel creations in Quake and Quintin Quire
Bench includes the recently relevant Omega Sentinel, the recently forgotten Oya, classic Wolvy bad guy Ogun, MCU star Okoye, and…well, how many characters can say they had a universe-altering crossover event named after them?
22. O
An eclectic bunch headlined by Odin, Omega Red, Old Man Logan, and Owl!
Shout out to this 4 pack of underrated bad guys: Ulik, Umar, Unus, and Ultimo! Also, despite my best guesses I guess Unspoken will remain a major Marvel character going forward!
23. U
Only USAgent and Ultron made the top 400 list, but having a top 10ish all time Marvel villain helps. Other significant characters include the Union Jacks, Unicorn, Ulysses Bloodstone, and Ursa Major
The bench consists of the likes of X-Ray and Xemnu. In a bit of likely unavoidable MCU synergy, I’m sure Xu Xialing will be making a 616 debut soon (AFIK she’s not exactly the same as the MU’s Zheng Bao Yui?)

Sadly one of the most important letters in Marvel history falls flat. Only the serendipitously named X-Man makes the top 400 😬 He’s joined at the top by Xorn(s?), Xavin, X-Cutioner…? (At first I had Laura Kinney here but hey https://t.co/NVd387OIGt has her as Wolvy so 😁)
