The First Line
Dr. Cassandra Locke (I'm sure someone can fix her time issue and bring her back like Scott Lang)
The kids from The Initiative and Avengers Academy (including Patrick)
The Gauntlet
Ooh, yes to those! I loved a bunch of the Initiative characters (Komodo, Hardball, Patrick/MVP, Butterball, Armory, Telemetry, etc.) and most of the Avengers Academy (with Finesse, Reptil and Striker being my total faves). And Gauntlet was fun, for a hardass drill sergeant type. Reptil kind of gets double duty there, since he showed up in the Initiative and continued on to Avengers Academy (and even recently had his own short-lived series). Like Nova and Speedball, back in the day, I felt like Reptil was aiming for that 'fresh young hero' vibe that Spider-Man held for so long.
With the Darkhold being such a hot topic lately, I'm surprised we haven't seen a return of VICTORIA MONTESI.

Any chick tough enough to face off with the Punisher at close range in a miniskirt and heels is worth some attention. All that STYLE!
Horable mention to another mystic gal: TOPAZ. Still waiting for an explanation of how she morphed from Blonde Bombshell to Brazilian Bombshell (beyond the artists preference to make her resemble his wife IIRC)

I don't recall the name of the character right now, but she was something like Norman Osborn's executive assistant when he was head of shield
Business type executive
Very forthright
For the life of me I can't remember her name but I liked her a lot
Iirc it was Victoria hand ?

VICTORIA HAND was a badass in a business suit.

I'd love to see Sundown back. Also, Captain Ultra, Stratosfire, Earth Force, Voyager.
Later, I'll post others.
Peace
I became curious about what became of Irene after I last read about her with Cable (I believe she was disguised as a Black woman) and looked up her death in DESPICABLE DEADPOOL 292...and WOW. That was beyond a fridge-ing of a character. Deadpool offs her, albeit while being blackmailed, but then goes on to refuse to kill other characters under the same blackmail pressure...one of them being a future Apocalypse in kid form. Innocent woman/friend? No problem! He also comes up with reasons not to kill another evil character along the way.
They don't call him Despicable Deadpool for nothing, I guess...
