[Shockingjustice]

Did a little research on skyrocket since people mentioned her a lot. She seems interesting and I see how people compare her to Captain America, though she reminds me of falcon a little more. The power company seems cool as well and the characters on the team looks unique.

I'm guessing it's not that popular though, not like the suicide squad or the doom patrol.

[Electricmastro]

Rocket.

[Green Goblin of Sector 2814]

This girl:



I can't believe she's been MIA for so long.

[kurenai24]

Poc characters

Person of color characters

The word you are looking for is 'characters of color'

And I agree about bringing that version of Dr. Light back.

[married guy]

Dr Light would be cool
How about Black Condor?? I can't remember seeing the character over the last 20 years at least!

[Immortal Weapon]

The Gotham Central cast, a good chunk of them being women and POCs, are the main ones I'd want back with more regular appearances.

She's not in the comics, but I'd like Dr. Joan Leland to be brought in from B:TAS. If only to provide someone in Arkham who knows what the **** they are doing.

Not that they're obscure what with being so recent and with movie appearances coming up, but Darla, Eugene, Pedro, and the Vasquezes along with the rest of the Shazam property.

Joan Leland appeared in the Telltale Batman game. They remembered her.

[j9ac9k]

Dr Light would be cool
How about Black Condor?? I can't remember seeing the character over the last 20 years at least!

There is a new Black Condor in the current "Freedom Fighters" series. And there was the Freedom Fighters team Black Condor (the one I miss) from the later 2000's.

[Timber Wolf-By-Night]

Dr Light would be cool
How about Black Condor?? I can't remember seeing the character over the last 20 years at least!

Ryan Kendall, the Black Condor introduced in the 90's, was killed off in the first issue of INFINITE CRISIS, as were Dee "Phantom Lady II" Tyler (first appeared in ACTION COMICS WEEKLY), and Roy "The Human Bomb" Lincoln (who'd been revealed to be still alive in the pages of the 90s DAMAGE series). The version of the Freedom Fighters that they all belonged to, that was randomly introduced as already together by Geoff Johns in the pages of JSA, were ambushed by the Secret Society and became some of the earliest casualties of that event.

[Aahz]

[Dr. Poison]

I'd love to see a Justice League-esque team arise that includes:

Icon
Skyrocket
Nu'Bia
Onyx
Vixen
Ya'Wara
Extraño
John Stewart
Black Condor
El Dorado
Conjura
Amazing Man
Longshadow
Doctor Light
Pantha
Black Lightning
Black Vulcan

I'd be interested in a writer developing a series that not only tackles action and adventure and superheroics, but also racism and bigotry in the DCU from the POV of superheroes - especially the differences they may experience in their heroic versus secret identities.

ETA: And I'd have Marella, the Aquawoman from Earth 2, bounce over to Prime Earth to live and join the team.

Oooh......Conjura! I almost forgot about her!

[Falcon16]

Vulcan can work, but you'd have to come up with a unique concept for him, since he already has a DC counterpart in Black Lightning.

His lightning powers literally come from the effing gods in my canon. His lore would be basically Green Lantern but with lightning.

[Güicho]

Conjura

El Dragón (Miguel Rodriguez)

Oooh......Conjura! I almost forgot about her!

Oh yeah from DC's Extraordinary Lexicon, with her counterpart... El Dragón, they don't come more "obscure"

Conjura & El Dragón


These two are so obscure, most will have no idea where they are from, a certain Enigmatic Lexicon.
I would love to see them become canon.

[Güicho]

The big two for me are Skyrocket and Vibe. Both are just too good to be left on the shelf like they have been for so long.

Would absolutely love to see them both used more!

[Güicho]

- El Diablo (although preferably play down or drop the horrible cliche latino gang member, maybe revisit the Bronze Age version (Sandoval) and add the supernatural element.

Every six months or so, I have to mention my love for Gerard Jones's El Diablo, which should definitely be brought back in some fashion.

Agree, don't give up on bringing him up. -
