Comic Book Action Figures That Will Never Be Made
It's probably a good thing these comic book action figures will never be made, but it's still a damn shame.

| 11 | Maggott |
Just the simple fact of the character’s name should put pretty much everyone off of even considering a toy based on Marvel’s Maggott. Even worse was the character’s power, which replaced his digestive system with two gigantic worm-things that could eat anything, then go inside Maggott’s stomach and power him up. Gross.
| 10 | Captain Confederacy |
Created in the mid-1980s, Captain Confederacy was an alternate history superhero book about a world in which the Confederate States of America won the Civil War. Though the book was critical of the Confederacy and its ideals, we’re still guessing that a superhero with the Confederate flag plastered on him wouldn’t really fly.
| 9 | Rockman |
An early superhero from back when Marvel was still known as Timely Comics, Rockman first showed up in U.S.A. Comics. U.S.A. stood, not only for the United States of America, but also for Underground Secret Agent. Rockman is the big dopey leader of an underground race said to be descended from the first white colonists of North America, who came topside in order to beat up Nazis and in recent years made appearances in Marvel’s The Twelve.
| 8 | NFL Superpro |
A product of the collaboration between Marvel and the NFL, NFL Superpro was a universally reviled comic featuring a dude in an indestructible football uniform. As if our chances of seeing a NFL Superpro toy weren’t bad enough, the rights to the property are an absolute mess due to both Marvel and the NFL’s involvement.
| 7 | Hellcow |
Created as a parody of horror comic characters, Hellcow was originally a villain in Marvel’s Howard the Duck, but has since branched out into other books, even teaming up with Deadpool in 2011. Vampires may move units, but at the end of the day, who really wants to play with a cow, even if it does have fangs?
