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.

I haven’t seen Harold Alnut in…decades?
Granted I don’t read everything Batman related.
Tom Kalmaku
Arisia RRab (we've technically "seen" her, but just in group shots or dying)

Being killed in Hush

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.
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.

If characters from Vertigo are allowed, then my next choice would be Captain Kilina (XD)
"Good-bye. Good luck. Good riddance."
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).
