Who do you enjoy as a guest star but not on their own?

[babyblob]

So out of all the heroes in the Marvel Universe who do you like as a guest star in someone's book but not is a series of their own?

For me it is Doctor Strange. I love seeing him as a guest in books with other heroes and teams but when it comes down to it I dont really enjoy reading most of his solo stuff. I am not into the magic as much and I enjoy it on a limited basis. I keep up with the character enough to know what is going on with him but not enough to read his stories in detail.


So how about you? Who do you all enjoy as a guest but not so much as a solo? This could be a single character or a group.

[K7P5V]

Definitely, my choice would be...

Johnny Blaze

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

Iron Fist.
Captain america (steve)
Fantastic Four
Punisher
The Royal Family of Attilan .

[charliehustle415]

Hulk
Venom
Ghost Rider
Blade
Morbius
Carnage
Cable
Punisher
War Machine


I'm starting to a type I don't like in a solo run - "alpha type" eXXXtreme males; to me they are just not interesting

[Spiderfan001]

Captain America, both Steve and Sam

[JonnyBlazed21]

Spiderman
The X-men
Iron man
Daredevil

[Doom'nGloom]

Nova (Richard Rider)
Silver Surfer (though SS Black was worth getting for the art alone)

I think I have to go with Spiderman. Every time I read him in a Fantastic Four comic or event I quite enjoy him but the thought (and various attempts) of diving into his corner of the Marvel Universe is a chore for me. I have nothing against him as a character but he occupies such a vast corner of the universe with so many auxiliary characters that I just don't have the capacity or desire to learn about since I'm already heavily invested in the Fantastic Four and X-Men, who both also occupy very large spaces in the universe and have their own convoluted mythos.

When he shows up in other books it's always "Hey, it's Spidey! How cool!" and I enjoy it and leave it at that.

I'd probably say Punisher.

I'd probably say Punisher.

See with me on this? I am the opposite. I hate seeing Punisher hang around with Captain America, Daredevil or Spiderman. But on his own I can read him.

[Ultimate Captain America]

Groot. I wouldn't want to read a solo book with him, it would be horribly repetitive.

You wouldnt want 24 characters of the main character using the "I am Groot." Line over and over making up 75 percent of the dialogue in the story? Man I dont get fans sometimes!

[Tony Stark]

I’d have to say Peter Parker for me. I like him as a guest star, but I can only seem to read his book when someone else is starring in it like Ben or SpOck.

[CosmiComic]

So far I can only tolerate the F4 as guest stars without their annoying 'quirks'. At least in that case I can pay attention to other characters

I’d have to say Peter Parker for me. I like him as a guest star, but I can only seem to read his book when some else is starring in it like Ben or SpOck.

Ooh, strong statement

[Mr. White]

I’d have to say Peter Parker for me. I like him as a guest star, but I can only seem to read his book when some else is starring in it like Ben or SpOck.

*Nods in agreement* I also fall into this category.

Maybe I'll reword it and say - "... but I can only seem to enjoy his book when some else is starring in it..."
