spreadsheet cleanup STEPFORD CUCKOOS
ComicVine issues: 1600~1700 Fandom appearances: ~320 across 14 variants 3 video games
I never added them because conceptually they're just “what if: a hivemind of teen Emmas”
But statistically they do merit an @MCOCwishlist listing.

Notes
The Cuckoos were developed by the Weapon Plus (“Weapon X”) Program, from eggs Sublime harvested (without consent) from Emma Frost. The resulting Weapon XIV comprised a thousand cloned daughters with perfected diamond form and a telepathic hive mind. The purpose of this “Thousand-in-One” was to capture, harness, and control the Phoenix Force for Sublime’s nefarious intent to eradicate all mutants in a Cerebro-like effect. While the majority of the thousand lay dormant, five of the sisters infiltrated Xavier Academy as students calling themselves a Five-in-One: Sophie, Phoebe, Irma, Celeste, and Esme. (In school, Irma originally went by the nickname Mindee.) These five—or fewer, depending who remains surviving at any time—are the Stepford Cuckoos.
While the Cuckoos tend to operate as a unit, they have individual personalities, drives, and interests.
Plot tensions circle around their unity or individuality or lack thereof, depending on factors such as the girls’ varying levels of:
chemical state (classically certain members’ exposure and/or addiction to the powers-enhancing drug Kick);
individual willingness to submit to their created villainous fate (nature) versus their heroic training (nurture);
individual (or, sometimes, apparently shared group) romantic interests;
exposure to, involvement with, or possession by cosmic or astral beings or phenomena (most notably the Phoenix Force)
Three-in-One. [SPOILERS] Sophie died in combat leading the hive mind while amplified by Kick; Esme had a hand in that and a murder attempt on Emma while also under the influence of Kick and also was killed. As a result the original five-person squad was reduced to the more iconic and recognizable triplet team of Phoebe, Irma, and Celeste.
Krakoa. [SPOILERS] Predictably, the deceased sisters were eventually brought back, so the Five-in-One has been recently reinstated.

if he weren't in the game, he'd earn a Wishlist spot, but on the lower end if not for the Eternals movie and accompanying game appearances

spreadsheet cleanup LEECH
ComicVine: 705 issues Fandom: 211 appearances across 18 variants 2 video games
I always thought he was a no-go for a fighter game, but other Summoners have thought otherwise.
The numbers definitely support a @MCOCwishlist listing.

spreadsheet cleanup SPIDER-HAM
It skews the numbers when I don't clean up spreadsheet entries already on @MCOCwishlist or in @MarvelChampions. 
~225 comics [ComicVine 234; Fandom I count* 217] 27 variants 9 other games movie & TV
Before his MCOC debut, his Wishlist spot was 100% merited

Notes
*Marvel.Fandom.com does not have a page dedicated—separately from other Peter Parkers—to all the variants of Peter Porker. The Fandom Peter Porker page just has a link to Peter Parker. This is understandable: Peter Porker variants are just the realities in which Peter Parker is a pig. But it meant manually finding all the pig versions of Peter Parker from Peter’s Fandom page, recording the number of appearances of each, and adding them up. So there’s no way to link to one page from which I got the cited number.

spreadsheet cleanup Spider-Woman (Charlotte Witter) The Villainous Spider-Woman
Charlotte Witter was the evil Spider-Woman (not a Jessica Drew subtype, a female Peter Parker subtype).
She has only ever been in one Marvel video game, the mobile game Spider-Man: Unlimited. 
She was eliminated from our own first #TournamentOfBattleRealmFuture after winning one match but losing to Thor (Herald of Thunder).
Arguably anyone who was in a tournament could be argued to have some community cult value.
But Charlotte was only ever in a dozen or so comics.
She hardly merits the Wishlist. Compared to much more prominent characters, she is a footnote.
