The Forgotten & The Forsaken: Awesome characters sadly unremembered or demoted

[Michael Watkins]

I wonder if Foster's family were informed that Pym built a "virtual afterlife" for Bill.

Russ Heath‘s dinosaur artwork in Wizard of Forgotten Flesh starring Ka-Zar speaks for itself.
Dig his splash panel for page one:

One of my faves from the original PP Series.

At '70s Marvel, no one mastered the startling scope and high-concept complexity of cosmic adventure like Jim Starlin!
And his work on Adam Warlock set the tone for star-spanning spectacle that is considered a high-water mark to this day.
Starlin evolved Warlock to the next level, imbuing the character with the inner demons of a man-god on the brink of insanity.
Forced to confront an evil version of himself and the nihilistic menace Thanos, Warlock's conflicts weren't just knuckle-grinding throw-downs; they were epic, existential struggles for his very soul!

Hey Platinius, can you do one of these threads in the DC forum?

I miss Blink and Mimic the most:

Master Mind Excello, the Phantom Reporter and the original Black Widow. Have they appeared anywhere since The Twelve? Have any of the Twelve shown up since that book was finally completed?

I miss Gambit a lot.

Foster died in CW right?

Yeah, and he was buried wrapped in a tarp and chains. I guess they had to use the chains to lower the body but still, not a good image.

That sucks. Who exactly killed him in CW and were they ever punished?

ISTR he was killed by the Clone Thor aka Ragnarok, aka Clor (fan nickname). Clor was later destroyed, I believe, so in a way, yes he was punished.

Clor has since been rebuilt and became a member of the Dark Avengers.

Really? I'll keep my fingers crossed for a Thordis vs Clor battle in any future marvel comics series.

Bill Foster's nephew,Tom, took on the mantle of Goliath in WORLD WAR HULK:Aftersmash. aftermath book. Then went on to join Damage Control.

If Damage Control gets a live action tv series I hope the comicbook character Tom Foster will be featured in it.

I was about to mention Congorilla but forgot this was the Marvel thread.

Whatever happened to Lady Dorma?

[The One and Only]

I was about to mention Congorilla but forgot this was the Marvel thread.

Whatever happened to Lady Dorma?

She got killed by Proteus in the EXILES storyline, World Tour. When the reality altering villain trapped her, and the Atlantean people of Counter-Earth/Heroes Reborn in a column above water. Letting them all suffocate to death.

I've always been a sucker for El Aguila. I don't think he's appeared since No More Mutants, but even if he lost his powers, he is still an awesome character, IMHO.

Well, Corvus Glaive was pretty much one-trick pony for the whole Infinity event that led to the Cabal and multiversal destruction, but I liked him; found him entertaining, and him being married and honestly affectionate with Proxima elevated both characters by giving them some kind of unexpected trait. For 2 bit characters, thought it was pretty nice way to give them SOME depth beyond "DEATH ALL THE THINGS".

Then new issue of Thanos post-Secret Wars. Corvus is alone, Proxima not even mentioned, and he's killed off in less than 3 pages.

I'd honestly would have preferred limbo where they just disappeared from post-Secret Wars history over that. Or have them both died together at least

I think it bothers me more because I keep seeing them in every other bits of recent Marvel media so I got way more attached to them than I thought. The cartoons, the Marvel mobile games etc. Feels like such a waste now.
