Flashfire

Flashfire, originally code-named Tempest, is a member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. The character, created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Dave Cockrum, first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #107 (October 1977).
Flashfire can generate and fire bursts of light and electricity. Like many original members of the Imperial Guard, Tempest/Flashfire is the analog of a character from DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes: in his case Lightning Lad.
Mangog
Courtesy of Wikipedia:
Mangog is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
The character was described in his debut as being the sum total of the hatred of "a billion billion beings" – an alien race that once attempted to invade Asgard (thwarted by Odin, the ruler of Asgard and the Norse gods).
Imprisoned beneath Asgard, Mangog is freed by the rock troll Ulik, in a failed bid to secure an ally against the gods. Mangog storms Asgard, intent on drawing the Odinsword from its scabbard which will end the universe.
Thor battles Mangog to a standstill, until Odin dissolves the creature by breaking the spell which had created Mangog as a living prison for his entire race.
Mangog reappeared when freed by the god Loki, but was defeated when removed from the source of its power.
With the aid of the traitorous magician Igron, Mangog assumes the form of an imprisoned Odin, and intends to once again draw the Odinsword.
After a series of skirmishes with Thor, the creature is defeated when Thor frees Odin.
Last but not least, how can it be possible that in a Marvel collection of figures there are some missing characters like those one that I consider essential as a Marvel fan: Fu Manchu, White Dragon and Wendigo??
It is a dirty job, but someone has to do it :)
Stay tuned!
