    Default Obscure characters you'd like to see return?

    Top of my head :

    Goody two-shoes. 1983 Thing villain with powerful mechanical boots.

    Bird boy (new mutants)

    Homer the happy Ghost (a late enrollee for Strange Academy?)

    Big Mama from early 90's Punisher story. A Baltimore drug dealer based on drag queen Divine, she pinned the blame on her husband when Frank came around, he shot him and she still remains at large...

    Others?

    Woodgod! The most underrated character of the 70's! More seriously, the premise came off as pilot of mediocre 70's sci-fi TV show, but had a lot of promise and could still work today.

    Definitely, another favorite would be the 616 version of Kyle Richmond/Nighthawk

    For a loooong time I wanted Marvel to do more with Solarman. He had a two issue mini in the late 80s. Apparently the creator got the rights back and re-tooled him at another publisher though.

    Priscilla Lyons / Vagabond. Jack Monroe's ex who traveled with Cap's team during The Captain days. Trained to be a Scourge but turned on them and worked with U.S. Agent to bring them down...introduced in 1987 and last seen in 1993.

    Squirrel Girl uses to be my go-to on these type of threads. After her grand reappearance, Solarman was my choice too. But I was informed he was a licensed character... but I'm pretty sure it's just the name Solarman thar is owned by the creator. Ben Tucker and all of his supporting characters could return, he'd just have to have a different superhero name.

    If he's too confusing, then I'd like to suggest the equally obscure Illuminator. He may also not be completely owed by Marvel. But I'm just a sucker for obscurity.

    how did Woodgod become a pilot? Where?

    Code Blue should be brought back in some form, taking on super-crime. Maybe in another city besides NYC.

    SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! I would unironically love to see this, I am gonna try and find her issues! I had a villain called Crime Model in one of my RPGs once who was based on her character from Female Trouble, I freakin love Divine

    Off the top of my drunk head I'd like:

    - Wildstreak (from that one FF annual)
    - Sparrow (from Blackwulf)
    - Rebecca Littlehale aka Lighttrakker (from Power Pack)
    - Trash (also from Power Pack)
    - S.U.R.F. (from the New Mutants annual that tied into Atlantis Attacks)
    - Nosferata (from the old She-Hulk comic)

    I would have said Cloud, but they seem to be coming back soon anyway
