John Stewart.

He was introduced in 1971 and was pretty much MIA in comics until 1983 when he took over for Hal.

Stephanie Brown was MIA for 2 years after her first appearance. Then came Robin.

Black Panther did nothing in comics after his Kirby drawn series ended in the 80s and was just there until 1998 and Christopher Priest.

How many years did it take to get Supergirl right? Especially the Matrix version?

I can name one more-CYBORG. We were told to wait for his moment and we are still waiting 5 years later and suffering from yet another black Frankenstein storyline.
