    Post Marvel Characters that only popular in the 80's, 90's

    I recalled Marvel had once launch an ongoing Darkhawk, Wonder Man , Quasar and New Warriors series. All these series are no longer heard again or get the same attention in today's comics. Anyways, which comics you wish to see them greenlits again?

    Darkhawk and new warriors were so big in the 90s the first issues were high price! They added darkhawk to secret defenders and west coast avengers to boost sales! Marvel was planning both darkhawk and new warriors cartoons that never got made! They did make a cameo in the 90s marvel action hour cartoon however. (not sure if it was iron man or fantastic four.)

    For 80s these three were big then.

    Crystal was much more important in the 90's. She was even in a video game and a key part of an event. She was at her best when she was a part of the Avengers and Fantastic Four.

    I recalled that Dan Ketch Ghost Rider series was number #2 next to the X-Men on the best comics selling list.

    Sersi was a pretty big deal in the '90s. She didn't have a solo series, but she was an Avenger for a long stint. Since then, she seems married to to the Eternals IP. It would be nice to see her given a chance to stand on her own again.

    It was a arcade game. It is the follow up to captain america and the avengers.

    It's coming back in a 1up arcade cabnet!

    Here is a harsh review of the game. And yes capcoms marvel fighters games are better.

    If this guy picked up an Avengers comic in the 90's, he'd know that they were the main Avengers (East Coast), and that it was based on a story. Which goes back to the title of this thread.

    Speaking of Secret Defenders, I always thought the entire concept had great potential...

    A Dazzler series. I guess the latest one-shot or appearance made her a punk-pop singer. I don't know if a Dazzler Year One series would feature her disco-era outfit or just erase it in favor of the updated outfit.

    It still irks me that Silver Surfer was such an integral part of the Thanos/Infinity Gauntlet saga in the '90s, but completely missed out being part of the MCU version due to rights issues.
