    Over the years, the Molten Man strikes me as someone whom writers have run out of ideas for. They always seem to go back and mine the concept that his powers are out of control and possibly killing him in the process; and then they go and make him in control of his powers again. He even went the heroic route for years. That is, until recently when, again out of control, he gets cured by Harry Osborn. Where does a character like Mark Raxton aka the Molten Man go from here? Should he remain normal, or go back to his gold-skinned ways? And If he would go gold again, should he be a villain or a hero again? I hate to see a good, unique villain go away. So what would you guys do with him?

    Put him in a high pressure position (like a new job somewhere where he's put his life together) and have certain bad things just happen, each little thing ends up making it worse and worse - give him a gradual transformation back through stress and fear of failure. Then have him meltdown and go on a rampage.

    That could work. Perhaps it'd be Smythe's way of getting revenge on Raxton for stealing his father's formula.

    @crimeking23: I want Molten Man to stay a hero, Spider-Man has enough problems without someone he could call a friend going bad again.
