I know there's @SpideyFunko 's thread for Omega Sentinel right now, but personally I think that's a different thing than this. So please don't take this down. Also - don't quote this without Spoiler. That will take up too much space.
I have spent some time compiling every single valid argument made for Omega Sentinel and putting them on this post.
I pray this leads some Hercules supporters to the light.
@Will3808 gave the valid point that Hercules is simply too boring. It’s very true. I mean sure, he’s powerful, but look at him. He’s only good for one thing: simping. Everyone knows it’s true. Omega Sentinel is, to be frank, overall cooler.
Next, we’ve got a point from @Omega007Haze. They (I’m using gender neutral pronouns for everyone) brought up the point of synergy potential. Now sure, Hercules could have some solid synergies too, but those would be with the very limited West Coast Avengers group in the contest, and therefore could not be remotely game changing. Omega Sentinel, contrarily, has deep ties to the X-Men and other mutant groups. She would be a tech champion who likely synergizes well with mutants, eliminating a potential class gap on the team. She also would likely have strong ties to the Marauders - not only buffing Mr. Sinister and Sabretooth, but also leading the way for Mystique, Lady Deathstrike, and other powerful, desired characters to enter the battlerealm. Synergy buffs for Nebula, Darkhawk, and other robots could also sprout from OS.
Also from @Omega007Haze, as a nano-robot, her capacity for sick animations is huge. They could literally do anything with her. The animations team has done a great job recently. What are Hercules’ animations gonna be? Do we really want another person just whacking with a melee weapon? Let me help you out: the answer is NO.
@TechnoStrain made a good point...her nanotech allows her to control other machines. This could give us a cool robot counter who isn’t cosmic - great for Dragon Man and potential future similar characters.
The endorsement from @KabamMiike. Beat that, Team Herc the Jerk, I dare you.
Then there’s @DNA3000 bringing to the table the important point of a lack of variety in the Tech class. They all have the same utility - UGH. It's a very limited set of abilities: power drain, taunt, armor up, heal block. Look at cosmic champs - there are dozens of unique buffs at this point, so why do we need more? I can't think of a better way to cure this insufficient variation in the tech class than with a superadaptive cyborg. She can do almost anything, leaving the devs with the creative freedom they need to not just make a slightly different version of Warlock. She can have her own unique niche uses and utility. Hopefully not too niche though
.
Also from @DNA3000 - there are only three female tech champions. That’s less than any other class. You don’t have to take this into account, I get that diversity isn’t the #1 priority, but it is a valid point, so I just thought I’d throw it in here.
@HI_Guys put it nicely when speaking about the Indian representation Omega Sentinel would provide. It’s nice when a champ from your community comes. Even if you aren’t Indian, don’t you want others to feel represented?
@Rockypantherx is an important member of the forums. Listen when they say “So, um, I’m here now. They killed Morgan.”
@psp742 illustrated the potential for a sort of Tech Claire in OS. That would be a SWEET piece of utility - that Hercules definitely isn’t gonna have.
@Crcrcrc said it all with, “These titles all sound like threats.” They are.
@KDSuperFlash10 is the primary supporter of Hercules. Is that really who you’re gonna get behind instead of @SpideyFunko, @Rockypantherx, @Etjama, @Masterpuff, @DNA3000 and a whole host of other 5 stars? They have wisdom. Learn from it.
Please vote for her.

God help us.
Although I’m not sure about the ‘wisdom’ part. Somebody just made the mistake of showing me the forums
Vote Omega Sentinel. To avenge our fallen Morgan
well written but someone else has caught my eye...
Great argument! Omega Sentinel ftw!
