Who are the 5 most popular characters (hero) that aren't in a book currently and likely won't appear in a book this year? If you can't name up to 5, name as many as you can. It's not a scientific poll or anything.

Power Pack aren't likely to show up in anything major so I guess those are my four.
Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

I can only think of some Avengers like Falcon who will be in another movie this year, but not a book, or Quicksilver and whatnot. And then the Inhumans. Interesting question.

For many "limbo" just means the character isn't appearing anymore with regularity. Death is just another way to write characters into a state of limbo. Originally Posted by Digifiend

Yeah, I was more interested in the characters that are alive, just not appearing in any titles. I might do a different thread for the "Popular Dead" characters. Originally Posted by Digifiend

Marvel is getting ready to roll out the Eternals and they have a speedster of their own so expect to see him come out of limbo. Quicksilver needs to stay in limbo until Marvel faces up to the fact that the character will always be compared to The Flash, and if they can't handle that don't bother showing up. I know it's unfair to say that, but why read Quicksilver when you can read The Flash? It's like choosing the Miata over Lamborghini. Originally Posted by Snoop Dogg
