I thought it was a whole lot of missed potential he didn't show up in either volume of Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus's mind in Spider-Man's body, or a cloned body made from both Spider-Man's and Octavius's DNA), and I even had a story idea in mind where he went into cybernetics, gave himself a new arm to replace the one Gargan/Venom chewed off, and built a cybernetic carapace in the style of Metal Gear's Cyborg Ninja to emulate Spider-Man's powers and abilities, making himself a "real" Steel Spider.

Agreed and add American Eagle for me as a character who I think should've been featured more coming out of that Thunderbolts arc. I didn't really know too much about AE before that arc but when a character can whoop Bullseye and have the audacity to talk S**t to him at the same time you've definitely piqued my interest.

Wouldn't have minded seeing more of Sepulchure either.

If obscure teams count, then my choice would be...

The Young Gods

Yes! Though, I was introduced to them through MCP's as they had a story when the NC/Wolverine reunion was taking place. Thats why I bought it but I found these characters interesting as well.

Was going to say rita yellowjacket but she just showed up again!

The outlaws team would be great to see again.

The 50 states teams.

Robyn hood from spider-man. Loved her iron giant friendship with spidey.

Comet man. Why is he not in gotg?

Lets see the adult planet terry and robota again. Plus whats wally the wizard up to today?

Why has circuit breaker not fought iron man yet? Yes she now a hero but she still hates robots and armors.

Has the young gods been in anything in some time?

What's mort the dead teenager been up to?

And of course the ultraverse and crossgen marvel!

Edit--wow ninjad on the young gods!

I remember ASM 266 which had Spider-Kid, Toad, and Frog-Man become a team called the Misfits... very weird issue.

Has Circuit Breaker appeared in anything outside those original Transformers comics and her first appearance in Secret Wars 2?

I wish Marvel could have traded her to Hasbro in exchange for ROM the Spaceknight.

My favorite part was when Spidey thought of different names for them (LOL):

I recently read New Invaders for the first time.
Tara presumably died or was destroyed wasn't she? Not that that means anything.
I would vote for her revival as well.

I think it was more that she was shut down.

Misfits did come back for a april fools issue of marvel age. Squirrel girls second appearance in comics and it only goes for a $1! How did comic collectors miss that?

She was going to be leader of a mutant team the neo-knights in a comic in the 90s but it didn't get off the ground. There is some unused art and cover from the unmade comic online if you want to hunt for it.
