MCOC Wishlist Waitlist Card
SILVER FOX
There are too many champs for the MCOC Wishlist. This card is a quick reference for a Marvel character not yet among the ranks.
Editor’s Note: Revised Priority Level
November 2022
The “high” priority designation for Silver Fox was originally based on an inflated ComicVine number that made it appear she had been in over 150 comics. However, Marvel Fandom listings for Silver Fox (not counting other distinct characters who have used the same nickname) total no more than 55 appearances in comics, movies, and television.
Typically a number below 100 comics appearances indicates a low priority for the MCOC Wishlist given the staggering plentitude of characters who have appeared in that many comics or more.
Furthermore, Silver Fox only has one print multiverse variant listed on Fandom, where most strong Wishlist candidates have 10-15 or more.
She is much more noteworthy than a typical 55-comic character, since she has appeared in one mobile game, as well as X-Men: The Animated Series, and one of the lesser X-Men movies from FOX. But this data requires some interpretation.
For instance, the mobile game in which she appeared was not a game in which each character required a great deal of development resulting in a high level or character prominence. The game, X-Men: Battle of the Atom, was particularly deep and niche. It was deep because, as a deck-building card game, it required a great number of characters and concepts to be depicted on the hundreds of cards needed for card battling. The game’s depth was particularly niche because it was dedicated exclusively to X-Men characters mostly associated with one major X-Men-related arc. As a result, the game was likely to feature many mutant characters unlikely to be a high priority for character pools pulled from the broader Marvel catalogue.
Finally, her appearances in television and movies were supporting roles. She did not appear in many episodes of the animated show. The FOX movie she was in was not one of the widely successful, regularly rewatched fan favorites. Consequently, it is safe to say she has not been sufficiently featured to be considered mainstreamed or a well-known favorite, even among fans of Marvel movies.
