What obscure character that will probably never be seen again would you like to see get a book?

[Güicho]

The later monthly series, but even more so, the even more obscure originals; from minicomics that were packed in with the game cartridges, and the theme of the Arcade game.

Team A.T.A.R.I. from the (Advanced Technology And Research Institute):
-Martin Champion - commander
-Lydia Perez - pilot of the Scanner One/Liberator
-Li-San O'Rourke - security officer.
-Mohandas Singh - engineer
-Dr. Lucas Orion - medical officer
-and alien Hukka - team mascot.

I really want a new take on and return of Madam Fatal .

James Robinson & Darwyne Cooke did a pretty modern take on Madam Fatal in the Shade book.
Did you read it?

I'd like to see a Freedom Beast book where he's mentored by Vixen as a newer Guardian of the Red.

vanguard - a team of alien superheroes that could be used as a launching pad for dc space/cosmic titles..

Wow New Teen Titans Annual #1 (1985)
I hope everyone wrote in for more!


I think if they did a story arc where they momentarily take on civilian (human) ID's for a bit, they could jump back.

last seen as cameos in that batman/superman 'enemies among us' arc..

[Jim Kelly]

I would take Captain Fear and/or the Black Pirate. Maybe in a comic like this . . .

I've never seen them - were they a riff on the Fantastic Four?

Bruce Nelson by Jeff Lemire.

All Star Western, featuring Jack Woods, Captain Jim, Buck Marshall, Chuck Dawson, Rodeo Rick and Matt Savage, Trail Boss by Grant Morrison.

Not really, only very superficially, for one there were five of them, Nebula not pictured. (although she dies in the story) They are all aliens, and have a sentient shape shifting ship too, so arguably are still five.
Although I guess you could draw somewhat labored parallels between their powers and temperaments:

Solaar / Human Torch (Thermal Energy
Scanner / Invisible Woman /( Mental projections (not exactly
Dwarf Star / Thing (Unmovable Heavyweights
Anti-Matterman / Mr. Fantastic (volatile (you can't touch them)? That's a stretch
DRONE / H.E.R.B.I.E. LOL!
Yeah not really.

[Güicho]

I'll just reiterate Arak, Son of Thunder once again. Maybe Azzarello/Risso? It's got medieval savagery, Vikings, monks, various other religious nuts, monsters, etc.

I would take Captain Fear and/or the Black Pirate. Maybe in a comic like this . . .

Bruce Nelson by Jeff Lemire.

All Star Western, featuring Jack Woods, Captain Jim, Buck Marshall, Chuck Dawson, Rodeo Rick and Matt Savage, Trail Boss by Grant Morrison.

These remind me; wasn't there a group of forgotten DC western, swashbuckling, chivalry, and adventure heroes who got maybe time jumped in All-Star Squadron and had to come together as a team? (Maybe building up to Crisis?)

Miss Liberty [Bess Lynn], Super-Chief, Strong Bow, Arak Son of Thunder, Silent Knight [Brian Kent], Viking Prince, Golden Gladiator, Valda the Iron Maiden, Trigger Twins, The Roving Ranger, Black Pirate [Jon Valor], Don Caballero, maybe others?

I'd love to see them team-up in a book again!

Edit: Found image...
I think most of them were already on the obscure list even when they teamed-up then, even more so now.



Can we call them the All Obscure-Squadron.

[Güicho]

I guess their surprising showing on Supergirl takes them out of obscurity, but as far as I know they've been absent from the books, I wouldn't mind seeing a version of the Elite get another go at their own miniseries.

I really want a new take on and return of ... The Gay Ghost.

Apparently re-imagined as the Grim Ghost.
Would you have him reclaim his original name?

[gordonm]

Ambush Bug.

A good chunk of the new characters created for the New 52. Except for when they need cannon fodder in a big crossover down the line.
