Doing a writing exercise and need some suggestions for characters. I'm looking for some obscure Marvel super-heroines. I need one who is upbeat and outgoing, and one who is more shy/naive and retiring. The "lamer" the better, but it'd help if they were specifically created to be comedic.
Thanks!

I stan Meggan Braddock. Ridiculously powerful, but hindered by a goldfish memory and childlike wonder. It'd be cool if someone knew how to write a female Shazam.

Perhaps Frankie Ray Nova https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_(Frankie_Raye)
Arcanna from Squadron Supreme. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Arcan...es_(Earth-712)
Catseye https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Sharon_Smith_(Earth-616) Now she is dead, but cat's have 9 lives, so you could say she is alive.
Singularity from A-Force. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Singularity_(Multiverse)I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

Just a thought: The really obscure characters -- true of both genders -- haven't really been fleshed out all that much. So you could conceivably pick any two lesser known heroines and ascribe to them the personalities that you want.

Hellcat. Started out very upbeat but was very naïve. Not sure what she's like now though.

There's Hummingbird, from Chris Yost's Scarlet Spider and New Warriors titles. I miss those books. She's pretty upbeat.
