Obscure characters you'd like to see return?

[Ravin' Ray]

Tamika Bowden aka Wildstreak. Last appearance was when Sue helped her evade recapture after escaping the Negative Zone prison in Civil War.

[The_Last_Czarnian]

Michael Pointer, aka Weapon Omega. Last we saw of him he was in an induced coma.

[Sutekh]

A lot of the Initiative heroes

Heck yeah. I'm interested in Komodo, Hardball, Scarlet Spider, Armory and Reptil, and some of the lower-tier characters like Telemetry, Spinner, Red Nine and Gorilla Girl. But there were a ton that were little more than names on a list that I wouldn't mind learning more about, like Paydirt, Star Sign, Vox, etc.

I say bring Texas Twister and the rest of the Rangers back. A super powered Cowboy could really stand out and you can have a western themed team in the modern day.

Definitely Texas Twister. He's one of my favorites! If he's currently still teamed with Red Wolf, Armadillo, Living Lightning, Firebird and Shooting Star (who may or may not be a flying mutant again, this week...), that's a pretty interesting team! (And amusingly diverse for a Texas-based team, as compared to the average mostly white Avengers lineup out of New York.)

Guillotine

Nightwatch
Red Ronin (giant robot)

With a jackpot movie in the works you think marvel would use her more. Then again sony is planning a slingers movie and marvel is not using them much.

Reptile has a mini going on RIGHT NOW. 2nd issue came out last week. It’s good!

The Initiative had so many awesome characters, and I'm surprised more of them haven't inevitably shown up in the A-list comics as cast members or antagonists or whatever.

In general, Marvel has a huge stockpile of teen / young adult characters that have been forgotten after initial appearances. For example, I'd like to see the Craptacular B-Sides again.

-Pav, who still loves SHOC so much as well...

[Pav]

It was the 1990s or maybe the early 2000s.

Howard Mackie was writing Spidey comics.

The Clone Saga was over, and a lot of Mackie's stories involved Hydra, gang wars, and weirdly -- the Negative Zone.

SHOC was the super-powered son of a scientist who abandoned his employers when he found out they were -- yup, Hydra! The SHOC armor gave its wearer all kinds of powers, including matter and power manipulation, seemingly. In an issue in which Spider-Man travels through a portal to the Negative Zone, SHOC keeps it open for him, as his powers appear connected to the portal.

Of course, this is the same adventure in which we meet Dusk, a supposedly legendary freedom fighter in the Negative Zone but also (according to the comic Slingers) a rich goth college girl who died but came back immediately into her superhero career.

If you think Dusk is an obscure character, try also being a fan of SHOC! I'll probably never find out answers regarding his connection to the Negative Zone, or if there would've ever been a connection made between the Dusk and SHOC characters.

Howard Mackie had some good ideas. Of course, he also wrote a lame follow-up Dusk story and turned the cool villain Crown into a lame vampire named Hunger, so... they weren't all good.

-Pav, who wishes he still had those issues...

Howard Mackie was an odd one in my book. Some great works, some crappy ones. I mean, you have the Danny Keitch Ghost Rider, which was a great revamp of a character that never really made the big time, and that was an instantaneous hit. Than you have Spider-Man, which was all over the place in terms of writing. And then you come to Mutant X, which was, IMHO, a pretty cool idea, but which seemed to quickly get out of Mackie's hand, and it's ridiculous how many times he contradicted himself in that title, finally ending it in a confusing whimper desguised as a bang. So wierd.

The Witness, basically Marvel's answer to the Phantom Stranger, from the New Universe. He could be a cool multiverse-traveling observer.

Marvel Annuals that year introduced new characters:

Marvel Annuals that year introduced new characters:

And they were all about as well thought-out and successful as their DC Bloodlines counterparts which came out in the same year. One of those "coincidences" that so often happen among the big two.

[Lonewolf36]

Think DC Bloodline characters done a little better. I think Hitman got a series that lasted for awhile and a few others got limited series. Legacy/Captain Marvel got an ongoing but that was about it for the annual characters.
