Underutalized DC characters that you would put in the spotlight

[TheManhunterfromMars]

Martian Manhunter, Red Tornado, Firestorm.

[Mr. White]

Thomas Tresser (Nemesis)

Duke Thomas, I was actually hoping he would be spun-off into the Immortal Men but that got unceremoniously canned for JLD pretty early in the NAoH era; I would've liked that a lot. have him be the POV character for all the secret immortal shenanigans revealed to be going on behind the scenes in Metal would've been pretty cool.

So many good ideas on here. It makes me wish DC would go back to something like Adventure Comics, with one or two regular headliners, and a rotating slot for some of these other characters. I guess the way talent is hired these days doesn't leave room for short arcs.

Amusingly he is being used, though somewhat discreetly in the Doomed! series. Which itself is pretty much nonexistent to most DC fans I think.

I love the guy, so I am happy to see DC using him somewhat. His story's changed somewhat radically though now both in characterization and origin. As he's now somewhat more like say Thor, being possessed by a some kind of ancient God it seems.

Which kinda makes him the Thor to Doomed!'s Hulk.

Which, to me, means that he's not actually Alpha Centurion.

[Thor-Ul]

I suppose than as many changes of the New52, that also will be swept under the carpet.

The Demon Etrigan/Jason Blood. A knight of Camelot cursed to live forever attached to a demon? How is this not already a TV show?

[LP22]

right now?

Kyle Rayner I'll give him a solo and a team book.

The Demon Etrigan/Jason Blood. A knight of Camelot cursed to live forever attached to a demon? How is this not already a TV show?

Yes! I'd particularly like a book that gets more strongly into Jason Blood, as a character, in a Constantine sort of occult detective role, benefitting from centuries of experience in that position, and only pull out Etrigan as a surprise later in the book, maybe a few issues in, when the reader has gotten used to him being 'just a Constantine knock-off' and forgotten that he's got a Superman-level magical demon on-call for the heavy lifting.

[Agent Z]

Artemis Crock (YJ animated version)

Power Company

Icemaiden

Koryak

Lorena Marquez

[Shockingjustice]

I never realized how many people like Zatanna.

[Osiris-Rex]

Martian Manhunter, Red Tornado, Firestorm.

Martian Manhunter has been on the Supergirl TV show for going on 5 seasons now and Firestorm was on DC's Legends of Tomorrow TV show for 3 seasons. So I wouldn't really call them underutilized.

MM also has a maxi-series.

[Ascended]

MM also has a maxi-series.

How is that anyway? I'm real curious about it, but figured I'd trade wait it if word was positive.

Very good, speaking as someone who didn’t enjoy Orlando’s JLA or Supergirl, he’s really turned it around with MM and Gotham City Monsters. J’onn has a crooked cop background though, so fair warning about that, but I agree with Orlando’s explanation for why he went that route.

[Flash Gordon]

Liberty Belle and Black Canary could both be icons with the right push. I'll die on that hill.

Liberty Belle is Wonder Woman mixed with Indiana Jones. Black Canary is about as punk as it gets and with the right amount of distance from being "Green Arrow's girlfriend" she could kill it.
