how would you make a heroes chess set?

[b3n4]

since it has been so slow around here lately, here is something that may be fun, or you may think it is completely stupid.
a chess set out of shs figs released so far. of course it is heroes vs villains.

who would you use for each position. who to use as pawns? would you dare say the hulk should be the queen? unfortunately, we don't have enough of any villain to use as pawns. hulkbuster soldiers, hand ninjas, skrulls

we could have x-men vs avengers, we certainly have enough spideys and wolvies to use as pawns.




for galactic heroes it will be a lot easier. clone troopers are good guy pawns, and stormtroopers are bad guy pawns, the rest fill in easily, except for telling vader he gets to be the emperor's queen. ;D

well, it would be quite a pain acquire enough, but how about Skrulls and Shield guys as pawns?

an original trilogy galactic heroes chess set could be
luke and leia as king and queen
han and lando as bishops
chewies as the knights
c3p0s as the rooks
and all the astromechs as the pawns

emperor and vader as king and queen
is there enough imperials for the bishop knight and rooks, its late and I can't remember

Ooooh I really like this idea - especially for GH. You could do a reg, Hoth or Endor version. Maybe Bespin, but the pawns might be tough. Im gonna think abt this for a bit.

Sure, the pawns could be stormtroopers, royal guards be rooks, TIE pilots be knights, death star gunners be bishops.

For a SHS chess set, Dark Phoenix was the first thing that came to mind when I thought possible evil queens. That would make Magneto the king, Sabretooth and Mystique the bishops (I guess), Pyro/Avalanch as knights and Blob/Juggernaut for rooks. Can't think of any Brotherhood pawns, though...

There was an actual Marvel chess set my friend had a couple years ago, and for some inexplicable reason the Lizard was the pawn for the villain side. The king/queen were Magneto and Mystique, just to make it seem even weirder.

Actually I would use things like SPidey or Iron Man for Pawns- (just since every one has so damn many of them,)
