Back in the early 90s a few other companies were trying to get in on their teenage fighting creature mascot craze following the Ninja Turtles.

One of them was a group of amphibian dudes named the Battletoads!

I want to reduce to two heroes instead of four. Which two should I build around now?

I realize having too many recurring villains devalues life and death in a comic. To me, most characters should remain dead when they're dead, unless immortality is their super-power anyway.

I spend a lot of time developing several villains who are slain right away by the heroes, but I also have a collection of recurring villains who simply never die for the first several installments of battles between them and the heroes.

I think a healthy balance of both "kill them off" and "reuse them" are allowed.

What do you think?
