Favorite Hero Who Never Had Their Own Ongoing Series

[AmazingSpiderFan]

Who is your favorite HERO who has never had their own SOLO SERIES? The character may be a member of a TEAM comic, a back-up feature, or have a mini-series or one-shot, but can never have starred in non-limited run, no matter how short.

Mine is The Shroud -- I think he gets dismissed as a Batman/The Shadow rip-off, but I've always found the Shroud's power set interesting, and his modus operandi is absolutely fascinating. If you're unfamiliar with the character (and I can't blame you), he operates as a criminal mastermind, putting together a gang of real criminals (his famous gang is the Night Shift, a bunch of horror themed supervillains), taking over an area until he's the local kingpin, then dismantling his own gang from the inside, leaving no organized crime left standing in his wake. That's brilliant!

He's had one mediocre 4 issue mini-series, but it totally focused on the wrong elements of the character (his background, which is 100% stolen from The Shadow). The majority of his appearances run through West Coast Avengers, starting with the mini-series, then the ongoing series, and even some Solo Avengers appearances (where he appears in Hawkeye's story), as well as Daredevil, Spider-Man and Spider-Woman. I'd love to see him get a new series in which we get to see him roll into a new city, take over the local crime scene, and then do his thing. Maybe even put together a new Night Shift.

Crystal. She was the lead in All New Inhumans, but that was a team book. I think she's a character that could really shine in a solo series with the right creative team.

That would be my favorite Marvel hero in general, Karolina Dean. And I'm just fine with that really. The Runaways work best together.

[Cloudman]

Ultimate Spider-Woman should have had her own, or at least a mini-series.

[Frontier]

Janet Van Dyne.

Hmmm. Most of my favorites, have had their own series, even if it was not very sucessful. Mostly they are characters that work better in teams, but still... Wonder Man, Hercules, She-Hulk, Cyclops, Havok (I consider Mutant X his OGS), Quasar, Hank Pym, Captain Britain, etc... all have had their own series, and, even if I enjoyed most of them (not all), they were nor commercially successful.
Of those who remain, I guess I'd go with Spectrum (if only they'd had bet on her as Captain Marvel), or maybe an unlikely buddy book between American Eagle and Warpath (for no other reason than that I like both and they have similar backgrounds).

Songbird, the writer that wants to tackle it can even build a supporting cast and rogues gallery just by using Thunderbolts material that wasn't referenced in modern runs like bringing Dallas Riordan back

Janet Van Dyne.

+1 I would wish for Janet to have an ongoing series. But it seems it will never happen

Another cool option would be Songbird.

[Tony Stark]

Pete Wisdom.

Invisible Woman. She's never even had a mini while the other members of the FF had solo's or mini's...Even Franklin has got one before her.

That would be Cyclops, not the teenage version, but the adult one since they are different characters, very different.

This, but with Jean Grey.

Yeah, Jan, Melissa and Sue are all good suggestions.

Northstar, obvs. But most of my faves just don't have a high enough profile to carry a solo book.
