UNappreciated characters

[Chris0013]

Who are the characters you like that never seem to get any love?

For me John Walker/U.S. Agent is right at the top of the list. No matter how much character development he gets....some writers just want to default to patriotic thug or even just non-verbal background/group shot character. For example...he had his confrontation with Sam Wilson....but was captured on an op in Syria off panel. Then show up at the end of Secret Empire and with a group of people to take down the Punisher with no explanation. Even if they did not give him his own book...or lead on a team book....I would love to see the Commission on Superhuman Affairs assemble a team that pops up around the Marvel U a couple times a year.

[Tony Stark]

Pete Wisdom. He’s a mutant spy. They could do so much with him. Captain Britain and MI:13 was such a great book. Marvel needs to touch back on those characters.

[Flash Gordon]

Namor, the Sub-Mariner
Silver Surfer

They may pop up often, but they do seem REALLY underappreciated. Namor is always shown as an awful dude now, almost by default. That, or he's an X-Man? Meeeeeeeh.

Silver Surfer is just the best.

[gurkle]

Firestar. She has never failed to be a good character, and she's a versatile good character. She was good in the Spider-Man cartoon she was created for, her '80s limited series was good, she was maybe the best character in New Warriors, she was a fine Avenger in a very popular run, but she has trouble getting a lasting place in the comics for reasons I can never really understand.

I'm a fan of USAgent too and feels he needs to be fleshed out more. Plus, the costume if badass, so what's not to like? Vengence from the Ghost Rider series was pretty cool, but they killed him off and I don't know if they brought him back. Also I felt most of the Defenders have been overlooked like Valkyrie (the original of course), Hellstorm, Hellcat, Gargoyle, etc. These are great characters that should've been used more.

[CrimsonEchidna]

With so many teams/characters making a comeback, i'd love it if the New X-Men-era mutants could get some type of prominence again, particularly Surge.

There's a lot of unappreciated characters out there, but these two being two of Marvel's best creations, seem criminally unloved by Marvel.

Vengeance (both of them) near as I can tell are still around, just unfortunately unused which is a shame since both are kind of fun characters.

Simon Williams (A.K.A. Wonder Man) - One of the most powerful members of the Avengers. He may not have a great deal of combat knowledge, but his strength is nearly equal to Thor. For some reason, writers keep killing him off and this is truly getting tiresome (IMHO).

[Snoop Dogg]

boom-boom from x-force is just ricky from trailer park boys but somehow she's not one of the a-list x-men

Totally agree

Namor is just a villain too easily

Surfer is used as a squash for thanos, Adam or some other threat too easily

I like usagent too, could be used in a thunderbolt team as field leader

Used to absolutely love him but in recent years it's been tragic

So powerful, great look, terrible handling

They got love, but are now in Limbo due to poor reception and that is the Inhuman royal family. I hope they at least get one book in the future for the few fans they actually have left.

I don't think any characters in history of fiction had such a misguided push as the Inhumans. "Yes, we should make the Terrigen mists poison to the X-men and mutantkind and kill the original and (with Wolverine gone) most popular X-man off-panel while having his friends describe him as the new Hitler for trying to stop this; this will make the Inhumans MORE POPULAR!". Sadly, with this and the show bombing they're radioactive now and will be for a while.
