Favorite character with few appearances?

[Dr. Balls]

What was his name? Donny Dalmatian? Manhole?

 

You would go for Manhole.

The Super-Sons.

 

The absolute nadir of BA Supes comics. They're due for a revival.

—Kwinn

 

 

[B-Smooth]

Kwinn. G.I. Joe

 

The mercenary known as Kwinn works for some of the most despicable people on earth. The kind of people you say wouldn't even know the slightest idea what scruples are. And yet, Kwinn holds a strict code of honor that urges him to keep his word and maintain his part of the bargain. Even if he feels that he may be on the erring side, he will complete his job and take his payment. After that, it's anybody's guess.

Faction Paradox---Image cancelled the book/team after issue #2

 

Just about any monster from the pre-hero days of ToS, TTA, etc.

[DeliBebek]

5 - 10 appearances, one-hit wonders, etc.

 

Here are two of mine: Greyshirt (thought the ABC series was wonderful) and Deadly Ernest (sticks in my head from 80s Alpha Flight for some reason)

Obregon Kaine from Negation (CrossGen). Appeared in about 20 or so issues, but so did Greyshirt. Anyway, I expect to never see the character again in any case.

 

Edit: 28 issues for Obregon Kaine. I guess it wasn't so few.

[oakman29]

Puma

The Brute (Reed Richards of Counter Earth)

[Bosco685]

Puma

 

 

Kept those early appearances.

[paperheart]

Copperhead from DD #124-125. Way back, when it could have been interesting, Frank Miller said he had a very noir story w/ the character in mind; i would've loved to have seen that on the page.

[seanfingh]

 

I liked the character from the Codename: Assassin story in First Issue Special. I also thought Equinox was really cool as a villain.

[Dale Roberts]

Adam Warlock. Ok, maybe he had a few more appearances than some, but great character that should be utilized more.

[Heronext]

The "New 52" edition:

 

Starling is a cool new character introduced in the new Birds of Prey #1, for those of you who aren't reading stuff on the shelves right now. 12 appearances.

 

And this guy is about one of the coolest characters I've ever seen. Introduced eight months ago in Voodoo #2. 6 appearances.

 

EDIT: Oops, looks like he died already...
