The Marvel[19] hobbit had quite a discussion a while back, under the name Marvel Byzantine, Neo-Byzantine, or Marvel-19. Dave Keenan said
of it "Even though there are other convex sets of 19 notes in Marvel, I don't think any are as useful as this one." This is rather encouraging re the general proposition that hobbits define something useful.

Marvel[12] is the marvel tempering of the Fokker block diadie2 on my list, which gives the ninth marvel comma pump scale, pump9. Marvel[10] is the marvel tempering of the Fokker block diachrom4. Marvel[9] is the marvel tempering of a scale from one of those imaginary musical kingdoms, kayolonian_f, which is another Fokker block. Marvel[11] seems quite interesting but I don't know if it has ever been noticed.

Here's Marvel[11] for all those fans of 11-note scales:
