10 Forgotten Spider-Man Characters

[Mister Mets]

CBR has a list of ten Spider-Man supporting characters we don't see very much any more.

#1 is a deep cut.

Um... why on Earth is Norah Winters in this list? She’s been all up in the current run. Do cbr writers even read the current comics before writing these lists?

No Billy Walters.

Shame.

-Pav, who has been waiting for his return...

What ever happened to Joy Mercado?

Most of entries on list are either A) as long as that certain transition of Peter Parker's life, B) as long as the creator who created him / her's run, or C) DEAD.

Only legit longtime "forgotten" entry, my opinion, Anna Watson, as she was a longtime supporting character for decades, before not-so-used much lately.

Anna Watson is more accurately a longtime background character than a supporting character. She was always that old lady who was connected to MJ and Aunt May. She's not supposed to be especially deep and interesting.

Dr Kafka never should’ve been killed. She was a recurring character in the books for 20 years.

Jessica Carradine, daughter of the burglar, should’ve been on here.

Agreed on the first, though have you checked the end of Ravencroft #2? Assuming it's not a trick, you're in for a pleasant surprise.

As for the second, yeah, the dramatic potential in that would be great to capitalize on, especially since Jessica Carradine already met Ben Reilly during his time as Spider-Man.

A) I've loved Doctor Ashley Kafka's character too, but before apparently "Ravencroft" and the two major Massacre stories, her last usage to my knowledge was her creator, J.M. DeMatteis' second Spectacular Spider-Man run (1996-1998).

B) Her pagelife was as far as creator, Dan Jurgens, was on Sensational Spider-Man, which was Issues #0-6, along with Amazing Spider-Man the same time, but last seen, Sensational #6. She walked out, forgiving Ben of sorts of the conflict between her family vs his family. That's it. Her story is finished. She was a girlfriend, of the much rather forgotten about by many in general Ben Reilly Spider-Man run.

I can definitely see the potential in bringing Jessica Carradine back (whose name I'd completely forgotten).

[Scott Taylor]

Lily Hollister

Carlie Cooper

Just a couple of other suggestions for such a list. Recent characters, relatively speaking, but they both look to be permanently shelved.

Has Joy Mercado resurfaced any time in the last ten years? I can't recall.

[Huntsman Spider]

Lily Hollister

Carlie Cooper

Carlie actually did reappear in Nick Spencer's Spider-Man. She was the one who steered Mary Jane toward the Lookups, a support group for the friends/family/lovers/loved ones of superheroes headed by Edwin Jarvis. And she helped out in ASM 25 when Mary Jane was up against the new Electro. Lily Hollister, though, one would think Felicia would have had something to say about her running around as "Queen Cat."

Lily Hollister

She was awesome as Menace. I kinda thought she was the only one who could really control the Goblin Formula.

I kinda wish she got her powers back!
