I never hear of van Lente until a few months ago. But he's writing Spider-Man now, so I should see his stuff a lot. He is really good-- He brought back Spot! The White Dragon, the White Rabbit! No telling who else might be showing up in his stories soon. Finally someone who understands the difference between the good dumb villains and the boring ones!
Regarding what Buttler said above me, the Walrus also appeared in an issue of Spectacular Spider-Man once, teaming up with the White Rabbit to fight Frog-Man. It was great. It's quite possible he's been around in some other stories since then. (Do you think van Lente will use him any time soon?)

Hmm, while Jeff makes an interesting suggestion, there are worthier candidates for W.

Like say, the Walrus, who appeared in Defenders that one time. Or Wundarr.

Or ooo, actually, the Warriors Three!

I just read a bunch of Marvel Adventures issues I had in my backlog and really FVL is the best at those, without a doubt, even if Jeff Parker (who is still quite good) gets more attention.

Aw, drat. here I was holding out that Wendell Vaughn (aka you know who) would be V. Still a chance he can be W?...Dang it, ther'es not. it's gonan go to some unknown like Wolverine or Barry Windson-Smith. Okay, no more Quasar. I'm hitching my star to NFL SuperPro and no one else from now on. Goodbye wrist bracelets, hello indestructible jock strap!
