ComicFigs.net has posted the bios and new images for Marvel Universe Wave 8 figures. Below are the bios for the characters from their card backs.
A.I.M. Soldier
Don’t be fooled by the goofy uniform. A.I.M. soldiers are as dangerous as they come. The average trooper is a genius with a least one PhD and no morals. Even a single A.I.M. soldier, given the right equipment, can whip up a deadly virus or invent a powerful new disintegration ray. They have no compunctions about experimenting on other humans, or even each other. Any A.I.M. lab is bound to be crowded with dangerous surprises for any hero unlucky enough to discover it.
Archangel
His body and mind twisted by mutant super science Warren Worthington became a henchman of the evil APOCALYPSE. He soared aloft as a monster, obeying his master’s every command. Worthington’s mind was strong, however, and he broke free of the ancient mutant’s brainwashing. Using his steel wings, enhanced strength, and damage resistance, eh currently adventures with the mutant black-ops team X-FORCE.
Variant: Archangel (Death)
Colossus
Piotr Rasputin was little more than a boy when Charles Xavier recruited him into the X-MEN. Under the of Xavier and his older teammates, he grew quickly into a man to be reckoned with. He is one of the strongest individuals on the planet, and his strength is dedicated to the support of the X-MEN. If for no other reason, anyone thinking to challenge the mutant team must carefully consider the consequences of facing COLOSSUS.
Havok
Separated from his brother Scott – who would eventually grow into the mutant hero CYCLOPS – and cut off from his own powers by MR. SINISTER, Alex Summers grew up ignorant of his mutant heritage. As a result, he wasn’t trained in the use of his powers until late in life. He has since overcome that obstacle and turned into a powerful hero in his own right, leading a team of mutant adventurers into deep space against the insane despot VULCAN.
Variant: Havok (Classic)
Juggernaut
Before unwittingly encountering the mystical Crimson Gem of Cyttorak, Cain Marko was a normal man, but he was a man consumed by jealousy of his half-brother Charles Xavier. Cyttorak seized on that jealousy, turning Marko into a being of untold power – an unstoppable force of destruction that would plague Xavier and the world for decades to come.
Kitty Pride
As the youngest member of the X-MEN, KITTY PRIDE often feels outclassed, especially with powerhouses like COLOSSUS and WOLVERINE around. She underestimates her own value. Her quick mind and ability to phase through solid matter lend subtlety to a team overflowing with brute force. Her close relationship with the other members of the X-MEN make her a crucial component of the team, one that focuses their conscious and power on what is right.

I can't wait till they start to show up in my area!
Me neither. This is MY X-Men set, finally getting Kitty, Havok and a decent Colossus, although I loved the X-Men Origins: Wolverine one too.
Also, ComicFigs.Net is TEH WINS!! Everyone should check that place out.

That's a pretty good wave!
I already have Piotr and Juggernaut preordered. Definitely want Archangel too. Didn't even think about Kitty but now I see she comes with the pet dragon. Awesome.
I think this is the best wave, so far...

...well there goes the $50.00 I got for my Bday..... (
Juggernaut was an easy want for me and and I definitely plan on getting him, Colossus was on my list too and now I want him even more seeing he has thigh swivels. I love that Hasbro is trying to work in more articulation, especially on the bulky figures. I am starting to think I might get one AIM guy too, they are funny looking but I am starting to grow fond
I cant even remember the last time I freaking bought an MU toy, (like February?)
IT IS SO OVER FREAKING DUE
Oooooh, the Bee Keeper is getting higher on my list as I just read this review and noticed he has thigh swivels as well!
I agree with all that has just been said. Joe, you might as well delete the thread I made on this last night (hammer files wave 3) since this is the official one now.
can't wait for these to start showing up, I've been putting a bit of money back so that when I find them I just snag the whole wave.
Damn I hope we see how the Classic Havok variant turns out pretty soon.
Still waiting for a wide-release of the first 2010 wave, dammit. I've only seen Wolverine and HoM Spidey at Walmart, never saw any at Target. I only have luck at Stop & Shop or comic stores.
I like how those pics showed the extra joint in the neck of Collosus like the one Extremis Iron Man has, however, seeing as how comicfigs.net's photographer went through the trouble to show that little aspect, I'm curious as to why he didn't also go the extra mile to show us Juggy without his helmet...unless it really doesn't come off?
Has anyone confirmed whether or not the helmet on Juggy is detachable yet?
Can't wait to get these, but archangel I'll wait for the variant of. T_T
First wave in a while that i will buy all of the figures.
I definitely want an army of AIM goons =)
Thsi is the first MU wave that has looked good in a long time. Cant wait to get Jug, Col, and Angel, Jug and Col better have full articulation! Cant see any joints on Jugs arms.
