With Mcfarlane leaping more and more into the Justice Society side of things, and the recent victory of Jade for the NYCC fan-vote securing her a figure release in 2025, my eye is more and more on one of my favorite sides of the DC Universe. Infinity Inc was a fantastic spinoff from the JSA featuring a lot of their children taking up superhero mantles, and is rich with designs and characters I sorely hope to see delved into as this focus on classic DC continues to ramp up.
5. Helix
What I consider to be the nemesis of Infinity Inc would be Helix, a supervillain team of improperly raised metahumans that showed up multiple times throughout the line's run to cause a headache for the heroes. Mr. Bones is most obviously the one I'd want most from the group, and likely the most probable one to be made as well given his continued popularity through the years.
4. Injustice Unlimited
The Injustice Society has been one of my favorite supervillain comics teams and Infinity Inc brought with them a new generation of Injustice with Wizard and later Dummy both putting together their own interpretations of the villain team. Justice Society villains are ones I want to see adapted in droves to the line, with Sportsmaster being one of my favorite releases of this year, and others like Wizard and Icicle being big wants for me as well.
3. Brainwave Jr
Working to leave behind the legacy of his father, the ISA's Brainwave, Henry took up the moniker of Brainwave Jr and joined Infinity Inc with a lot to prove to his fellow teammates, and a relationship he and Jade tried to build together. With so much story behind his character it made Henry one of my favorites of the team to read, and the nature of his design would make it an easy repaint of existing body molds in the line like so many other classic DC hero designs.
2. Obsidian
With Jade on her way I would hope that Obsidian won't be far behind, especially with the two of them taking major spotlight in the latest JSA comic release. Just like with Brainwave Jr, his design is one that while would be cool to be entirely new sculpt I can see it easily working as a repaint of an existing mold like the Booster Gold mold or Electric Superman. Not only Jade, but his father Alan Scott has been in the line for a little while, so Obsidian would provide a nice close to this trio of heroes.
1. Star Spangled Kid/Skyman
Leader of Infinity Inc for a lot of their run, Sylvester went through his own journey as the Star Spangled Kid growing into Skyman, both designs of which I would love to see in the line, though I think I find myself more partial to the Skyman design with the splashes of white breaking up the red and blue. While the comic met him with a tragic fate that would be called back upon many times over in the future (Grundy really never lives down which he was tricked into doing), his legacy as a leading member of Infinity Inc is one of my favorite roles for the character in comics.
