Guest star that will cause you to buy a DC book you wouldn't normally buy

Who are some guest stars that can sway you to buy a book you wouldn't normally buy?

There were certain villains that would appear in books that would interest me. Particularly any villains that were on Challenge of the Super Friends Legion of Doom - Sinestro, Giganta, Riddler, Scarecrow, Cheetah, etc...

I would also pick up DC Comics Presents or Brave And The Bold depending on who was with Superman or Batman. Atom, the Hawks, Captain Comet, Black Canary and Zatanna were favorites.

I bought Action Comics (or was it Supeman) for several months to follow The QUESTION in the lead-up to Leviathan.

This isn't quite your question, but I will always buy Justice League if Hal Jordan is the GL in the lineup. Otherwise, I rarely pick up JL books.

I will usually, though not always, pick up a Batman storyline if Two-Face is the villain.

I'm sure to check out any book Ted Kord Blue Beetle is in.

I always do it to a character I love that either doesn't have their own series or isn't used often in order to basically "vote with my wallet" and try to show DC that there is money there if they use that character.

Needless to say this became an incredibly expensive plan during Convergence when they did minis with Captain Marvel, Wally West, Oracle, Superboy (Conner), etc. But, hey, we got Wally back (despite how it was handled after) and a Captain Marvel series when his movie came out (despite how it was handled after), so it wasn't all a waste.

Currently having Linda Danvers would get me to buy anything.

Power Girl. Ted Kord as Blue Beetle. Captain Atom. Captain Comet. Vril Dox. Fire. Ice. Wildcat, (Ted). Alan Scott GL. Jay Garrick Flash. Maybe Kent as Dr. Fate. Ralph and Sue Dibney.

Speaking of which, what is the current status of say Ralph and Sue, Fire and Ice, and Captain Comet? Alive, dead, getting better? On a team? Hero, or on a heel turn? Haven't seen much about them in a while.

Lobo or Jason Todd.

The Lobo being a Green Lantern in Injustice 2 was the best thing about that comic. And I even stomached part of Leviathan when Jason was put in there.

Pretty sure none of them have been around since Rebirth. Not sure about New 52, haven't read the secondary JL books from that era.

Uhh...I would say Amethyst, but I don't care for her since she's been in those Bendis books. I guess that leaves Space Ghost.

[The Whovian]

Batman is in everything, so he doesn't automatically get me to buy a comic, even though he's my favorite character. However, these will because they're not overused:

John Stewart
Mister Miracle/Big Barda
Tim Drake
Cassandra Cain
Shiva
Jay Garrick
The LOSH

I also will pick up a comic if the Joker is in it.

For me, it has always been about:

Wonder Woman
Vixen
Peege
Superman
Empress
Body Doubles
Marvel Family
Linda Danvers
Maxima
Amazing Man
Wonder Girl (Any iteration)
New Gods
Soyuz (Any of the members)
Firehawk
FIRESTORM (Any of them but most especially Jason Rusch)
Dr Light
Any Milestone character
Fire
Ice
Captain Atom
Polaris
Any of the Divinities
