Outrider, YES I singled you out. But not so much in a bad way. I don't know how the Swamp Rats are in your verse. If they are genetically enhanced hew-mons, cool. If not, cool. Just as long as they aren't rats w/ human DNA!!! Seriously tho, they are a good figure. I don't mind the concept of Venomization; mixing of animal dna and humans. Didn't the Germans try that in WWII?

Whatever your use of the Swamp Rats, I know you are cool with them. Your shots always look good. Question is, are they good character/army builders in regard to the topic at hand?

Because we all know that there are differences between
Concept/Idea
Design
Execution

Blackout's concept was great.
Blackout's design was so-so
Blackout's execution was crap (all cuz of the arms and cross-eyedness)

Therefore, WAS Blackout worth bringing in? Was he worth making a crappy figure of? That's what it really comes down to. New character? that's nice, too bad the execution of figure and to a degree, the comic, it SUCKED!
