Your Favorite Obscure Characters of all time?

[Spylocke]

I have a certain amount of affection for Timbuc from the old Magnus series during the Malev War. Poor guy was made out to be a huge coward because he was afraid of a horde of ectothermic energy hungry murder-bots.
Obviously I like Spylocke. Ishmael from Shadowman was also pretty cool. He was an interesting twist on Bullseye. Midnight Earl was fun as well.

Maybe not obscure if you read manga but the characters Tomomi Moniya from Real and Anotsu Kagehisa from Blade of the Immortal are really good.

For Marvel I'll go with Speedball, The Prowler, John Wraith, The Crippler and Chamber.

For DC all I can think of is Mason Lang from The Invisibles.

[Cyberstrike]

Night Watch from Marvel.

Paste Pot Pete = Trapster.

Not exactly a GREAT name upgrade, but...

Here's my noticing in FF 36

[Phantom]

Speedball
Paladin

I liked speedball aswell - the guy from new warriors.

Loved 'too much coffee man', but has his own title so probably doesn't qualify.

LORD PUMKIN ""!!!!!?

[Chiclo]

LORD PUMKIN ""!!!!!?

Lord Pumpkin was three pounds of awesome in a two pound sack.

As an Ultraverse fan, I think the Ultraverse is best left in the past but Lord Pumpkin should be revived.

I have collected all his appereances ~ (except sludge 3) Going to bind that into a hardcover one day when the cash comes in.

As I understand it all of the major Ultraverse characters is that the publisher owns half (which is Marvel because they bought out Mailbu) and the creators own half (or a third between the writer and the artist) this is why Marvel can't or won't bring it back because of the copyright problems.

[Dr. Solar]

Darkhawk.

Oh, such a crime that Marvel does not publish a book with him in it.

[Xtianhardy]

Darkhawk.

Oh, such a crime that Marvel does not publish a book with him in it.

They're publishing one right now: Avengers Arena.

[Xtianhardy]

SNOWFLAME!!!

[MarrowMan]

Cocaine eh?

Darkhawk.

Darkhawk is in Avengers Arena?!

WHY DID NOT ANYBODY TELL ME?!?!

Still, he should have his own series.

He was on the cover of Avenger Arena #1 and #4.

Hate to break the news to you, but read at your own peril:

Darkhawk was one of the kids kidnapped by Arcade and forced to fight to the death in Murder World.

As of Avengers Arena #3, he was apparently killed.

In Avengers Arena #4, the amulet that gives Darkhawk his powers bonded with Chase from the Runaways by burrowing into his chest. Presumably he'll become the next Darkhawk, but we haven't seen this happen yet.

[Xtianhardy]

Cocaine eh?

[IMJ]

Jack of Hearts
Makkari (made for a great best friend for Quasar in his ongoing)
Ms. Marvel's supporting cast from the Secret Invasion era of that book - that was a great book then
Mrs. Abrogast

I hate Jack of Hearts and I don't know why. Even in death, he still got it wrong.

Nerd rage commencing in 3... 2... WHAT! NOOOOO!!!

RAAAAAAAAAGH!!! RAGE!!!

Really, how much of a difference is that? What was the name of the other guy in the Darkhawk costume? Chris something?

I will always remember Darkhawk as the title that launched the same month as Sleepwalker. And where are they both today?

My thoughts exactly.

I have little to no familiarity with Darkhawk's original series, but I like the idea of a legacy power being passed down. Also, I'm not sure if it's been confirmed yet whether or not he's actually dead since

1) This version of Murder World could be a VR simulation

2) He died off-panel.

Despite the familiar premise I've been really enjoying Avengers Arena. Dennis Hopeless has a real knack for dialogue and he has made me care about his cast of characters in a short span of issues. I hope it's not a VR simulation because that would reduce the stakes, but I also really don't want some of the new and returning characters I've grown fond of to die in horrible ways. Really though, that's just how good drama works.

Oh, wait - I've got another one!

So, this character has an ensorceled alien artifact that manifests an armor around the bearer. The bearer of this scarab - or crystal, if you will - doesn't know the full extent of the power of the armor or its origin and is at times, somewhat of a hostage of the armor. The armor interferes with his personal life and leaves him with rage issues.

You should buy any DC book featuring the current Blue Beetle. That is more or less his thing too.

His name was Chris Powell! Chris Powell!

They used all their awesome amazing ideas for the month on Darkhawk, that's why Sleepwalker sucked!

He better not be dead!!

[Xtianhardy]

Oh, I was wrong. His "death" was shown on panel.

However, this series so far has used a life meter to indicate when all the characters have died, and I don't see his life meter showing zero health, so he could still be alive.

[Dr. Solar]

STILL ALIVE.
