DC villain or supporting character you haven't seen in years...

[caj]

Who is a DC villain or supporting character you haven't seen in quite a while - maybe even pre Crisis - that you want to see again.

Granted I don’t read everything Batman related.

Harold had actually a short appearence in Scott Snyders All-Star Batman during Rebirth.

I think Harold was made over into a traitor during the initial "Hush" storyline, then he was killed off.

Supporting cast members usually suffer one of three ignoble fates by writers who didn't create them:

1) Ignored and/or sent off into comics limbo in favor of a writer's own pet personal creations. Ironically this may be the best option, considering the next two possible fates.
2) Killed off, especially if they weren't yet created when that writer first read about the main character and/or if they hadn't made an appearance for a while.
3) Turned into a traitor, villain, or super-villain, again especially if not part of the writer's childhood reading or sent into limbo for a while.

Indeed. Here's proof...

Lyta Milton.

Giving Circe a young daughter was the most interesting character development ever in the comics. And, much like how Wonder Girl inevitably ends up in Teen Titans, Lyta would be a natural fit on a teen team.

And having the actual biological daughter of Ares on the team would make for some fun character moments... especially with Donna and Cassie.

Alfred Pennyworth

I thought he would be back some time ago.

[batnbreakfast]

Indeed. Here's proof...

Hush was like the worst aspects of Long Halloween turned to 11 but with beautiful art. Note to self: Have to reread Dark Victory soon

Alfred Pennyworth

If there's an Ultimate line coming or after the next reboot Alfred will be back

If characters from Vertigo are allowed, then my next choice would be Captain Kilina (XD)

For whatever reason, a villain that made an impact on my memory back in the day was the Humbug from the Power of the Atom book. It's odd because, looking back, he's not all that remarkable, but there was just something about his look and his presentation, at the time I was reading it, that got its hooks into my psyche.

Supporting characters? Bobo Bennetti, easy. I know he's mainly relegated to Opal City and James Robinson stories, but there's no reason he couldn't be picked up and used someplace else within the DCU. I could see him in Gotham, for example, a super-powered type who's more grey area than hero but finds himself helping the Bat-family in some aspect. Or even Metropolis, hanging out at Bibbo's (I mean, Bibbo and Bobo. Get Beppo in there and you have a license to print money).

Huh?
She wasn't really a villain, and she barely appeared enough to be a supporting character. She was in 1 or 2 issues. Also, why would she ever appear in something again..
