least favorite popular character/and favorite obscure villian or hero

[goldenryan]

is there comic icon you can't stand?
is obscure character that should be used more?

[toys2cool]

I know I'll hear it from a few,but I don't like the Penguin that much.

[Random Axe]

I've never really tolerated Wolverine much. Aside from the early 80's and the Claremont/Byrne run of X-men, I never could really figure out what everyone sees in him. Maybe I'm the only blind person here, but I do not understand the adoration of a hairy, clawed dwarf with an undefined and ever-changing origin. Flame repellent...ON!

Falcon has always been a B to C level character, but has much more potential than that. They hinted to a darker side with the CAp/Falcon series a few years back. They've also hinted that his telepathy with Redwing is a mutant power. I'd like to see this taken a step further and have him in-touch with all animal life and nature in general. I see him as a Punisher type of vigilante without the guns. And, the ability to connect with all animal life would be helpful tracking someone down. Just ask the cockroaches.

i know i'm going to offend alot of people here but i never cared for shazam.

[Wee67]

I will join you in that offense. The big red cheese always seemed a bit too cheesey for me. I watched the show when I was a kid, but the book always seemed too silly.

[toys2cool]

oh I think the Punisher should be used more,he was really popular in the 90's but has died out a little,I really love that character

I love Wolverine but never cared for Shazam either ( I only like the mego figure)

Haven't read any comics in about 15 years or so. Needless to say, I'm way out of touch with the storylines and character developments from the last decade and a half. Nevertheless, I'm sure I'll catch hell for this, but I have never really been a Captain America fan. I like what he stands for and all that jazz, but I'm one of those guys who likes his heroes flawed. He was always too upright and moral for me.

As far as obscure heroes, even though I'm not Canadian, I was a BIG fan of the original Alpha Flight team that debuted in the mid 80s. Guardian/Vindicator was awesome until they decided to destroy his character in issue #12. Odd that I would dislike America's native hero and like Canada's, but that's how it goes.

blasstarr was a cool rarely ever used silver age villian i could see marvel legends doing a build-a-figure of him.

[4NDR01D]

I can't be the only guy that HATES Superman can I?

[Marvelmania]

I never did like Green Arrow that much. Mego wise he's one of the best but comic wise I just didn't care for him.
As for my favorite obscure heroes I'd go with Hawkeye and Triton from the Inhumans.

[The Bat]

I also never liked Shazam...He's really stupid Character.

And I've waited years for them to KILL "Storm" off in the X-Men Comics!

Can't stand the Penguin either.

[thunderbolt]

Top of my hit/hatelist is Venom. Favorite obscure one would be either Peter(talk about suggestive names) Cannon: Thunderbolt or Ultra the MultiAlien

[chalwa]

Never cared much for Wolverine (or any of the X-Men for that matter).
My 'Shazam' is the Captain Marvel of the 40's and 50's. I think if they don't replicate what was done then, it's a waste of time. He was a character aimed at kids that adults could enjoy also. When Fawcett died, Captain Marvel died with them. I'll probably offend too with this but the show was lame and every incarnation of him by DC misses the mark. Mac Raboy's Cap Junior was some of the best artwork of the Golden Age.
Underused? I'd love to see Man-Wolf done right.

[Bionic Joe]

John Stewert Green Lantern never liked him and the Hulk I never understood what all the fuss was about

[BlackKnight]

Ok Fine ,... I don't really care for Spider-man that much. Never Did as a Kid either. Sure,.. I like the Movies,.. & the 90's cartoon ,.. some of his Figures. However I just don't enjoy the character like perhaps Most do. What Apeals to me as far as Marvel Goes is Captain America (Steve Rogers) X-Men & Hulk... Spidey Never Did. While we are on the Subject,.. I feel that MoonKnight is Just some Batman Rip Off. & Captian Marvel IS Shazam! Not some Lam-o Running around a Thong Pair of Undies. What Happened to that Guys Cool Retro Green/White Space suit Anyways ? That Suit was far better than Some Thong Strutting his Junk all over Every Page.

I also Can't stand Elongated Man. Sorry,... But Good Old PlasticMan Is me Stretch Hero in the DCD. & I am Also Tired of Luthor as Superman's #1 Classified Arch Villian. That Should Be DarkSied. Lets Lay off the Luthor... I just don't think it's possible that this Guy can Continue to Cause Caos to Superman's Life.

Favorite Obscure Hero . BoosterGold. Until the recent Yr or so ,.. His coolness has never been scene to the Degree it has been Now. Hell it Took DC Direct 10 yrs to Make a flipp'in Action Figure of Him.

I also Like HawkEye... He need More of him imo.
Bring Back Casiar While we are at it,.... I need somemore Star Jammer Books.

Favorite Obscure Villian(s) . DeadShot, Catman, DeathStroke, TaskMaster All Need to seriously be used More in Comics, Toys & Marketing. These are some great characters.
