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

[Nomads1]

Has there ever been a marvel character adventuring in Italy?

Omerta was a silent martial artist that operated out of Italy and he appeared in the Alpha Flight World Tour (don't recal the exact issue, somewhere around vol. 1 #105, by Lodbell and Morgan).

Same could be said for Exiles Blink vs. Earth-616 Blink. That's the beauty (and curse?) of alternate universe takes on characters.

That's one of the reasons I LOVE Alternate Universes. You don't like a characters current portrayal, there's an alternate version just as real. Hence I like white Psylocke, and created an AU based around her and her family. /shrug.

I still don't get why the Exiles Mimic was so different from the 616 version. besides the name and the powerset, he might as well have been a completely new character. :shrugs:

The really sad thing is the Exiles Mimic is just such a better character in pretty much every way compared to the 616 Mimic. The 616 version has just had so many bad story ideas dropped on him and making him a villain most of the time while the Exiles Mimic was actully allowed to grow as a character. Just look at how they use their powers. The Exiles version mixes and matches from mutants as needed while the 616 still sticks with the same original 5 X-Men powerset even though it doesn't make any sense. Why keep Angels bulky wings when you can just copy Northstar or Cannonball or any other mutant that can fly?

The Pantheon from Incredible Hulk are all forgotten.
Hulk's sidekick Jim Wilson is also forgotten.
Captain America's girlfriend Diamondback is forgotten.
Thunderstrike is dead and forgotten.

The Pantheon did get a shout out in this year's SECRET EMPIRE. Their former headquarters, the Mount, was the base of operations, and refuge for the heroes fighting against Stevil and Hydra. Not to mention the civilians displaced by the Hydra Takeover. Jim Wilson died back in INCREDIBLE HULK#420 from complications from AIDS. His father blamed the Hulk for his death, and joined up with General Ryker's Gamma Corps to avenge him. Kevin Masterson, is now wielding the Thunderstrike, and carrying on his father's legacy. But he hasn't been seen much since the mini-series introducing Kevin as Thunderstrike.

I like her in the ff as she thing - I enjoyed that run, but I much preferred her prior to that

Hear! hear!

Here's hoping 2 in 1 delivers a mega return to glory for the ff

Joeseph Hauer from Marvel UK's SUPER SOLDIERS. A cool, but short-lived series from Marvel UK that was basically Marvel's take on Universal Soldier. By the end of the Marvel UK centric event, REVOLUTIONARY WAR, Hauer, the sole survivor of the Super Soldiers unit, was made the head of the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s British Division by War's end. Bummed he hasn't made any appearances since then. Also since he was put into suspended animation because Hauer's superiors feared since his power set was a more advanced version of the bat guano crazy American super soldier, Nuke. Whose, rampage, killing spree through New York made the heads of the UK Super-Soldier program fear their troops would end up doing the same thing,and put him in the ice box until he busted out in issue one. I always thought a Hauer/Nuke fight would be inevitable. Or at least make since.
There was also Hauer's opposite number in the Super-Soldiers book, Childs, another product of the British Super-Soldier program. Who like Wolverine's nemesis, Sabretooth, "Just liked killing people." Although he met a rather nasty end in issue five of SUPER-SOLDIERS underneath a train, I could see this particular Humpty Dumpty being put back together again.

The marvel character Joeseph Hauer reads to me like a great fit for any of the Marvel NetFlix series.

Monica Rambeau from the 90s forward. I'm glad for her recent use in select team books, but she deserves a solo series.
