guess the theme

[breadmaster]

cyclops
phoenix
hydra
savage dragon

is it too easy, and people feel it's beneath them, or are you overcomplicating this one?

[rucker73]

Mythical beings/animals?

[Nate Grey]

Mythical beings/animals?

Oh wow. I was totally overcomplicating it!  That sounds right, rucker.

[breadmaster]

that's it exactly!

also, this old one that no one got

quicksilver
thor
silver sable (frontline!?!)
beta ray bill (r)

hint 1: beatles
hint 2: abbey road

the answer is 'maxwell's silver hamer' (silver/hammer/silver/hammer)

was also thinking of going with the lycrics to the chorus, but since no one got that, it would have been a stretch, to be sure

punisher (bang bang)
magneto (max[well]s)
silver sable (silver)
thor (hammer)

[breadmaster]

Maybe I'm just a putz, but these are way hard!  I've only guessed like two, and I started from the first post.  They just keep getting harder and harder!!!

I've changed it, because the "name" has a better payoff. It's the same vein, though (i.e., figuring out one will give the answer to the other). And, as you might suspect then, it is not related to continuity 

Dracula
Angel: Fallen
Hobgoblin (3stat)
Eradicator
