Favorite Plural Marvel Character Nominations

Submission Guidelines: Please submit one character per form, and redo the form if you want to submit multiple. Characters must be canonicall

Plurality is defined here as "the experience of having more than one person, self or identity within the body" (MMU’s Understanding Multiplicity). This includes characters with DID, but is not limited to them!

Examples of canon plurality include:

Characters diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder/multiple personality disorder (e.g. Bruce Banner/Hulk)

Symbiote-host pairs (e.g. Venom/Eddie Brock)

Characters who are possessed by a ghost, spirit, soul, past life, etc. (e.g. Xuân & Trân Cao Mạnh)

Characters with an “other side” that has a different personality (e.g. Illyana Rasputin/Darkchylde)

Alter egos/secret identities who gain independence, sentience, and/or a sense of identity (e.g. Mike Murdock)

Hiveminds with autonomous members (e.g. the Stepford Cuckoos)

Formerly plural characters who integrated, had an entity leave, or otherwise are currently alone in their body (e.g. Jeanne-Marie Beaubier/Aurora)

Are characters you used as examples or in the header automatically included in the poll?

They are not (though if I don’t get enough submissions they may be added to fill out the bracket), so I encourage people to submit anyone from the header or list who they would like to see :)

This is especially the case when it comes to characters like Venom, where there are multiple possible symbiote/host (or deity/host, spirit/host, etc.) pairings—multiple pairings for the same symbiote can be submitted, so if your heart’s set on Flash/Venom, for example, make sure you nominate them!
