MR SigS Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) Unless I missed something in comics, I always thought they didn't do enough with Blackheart. The film appearance didn't cut it with me. Edited May 11 by MR SigS ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great series, relaunched as Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur in the 2010s. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During Civil War he became Penance and later a member of The Thunderbolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't say you weren't warned. There were Cheetahmen video games as well, for the NES. The first one was awful and part of the Action 52 multicart. The sequel was awful, and unfinished/unreleased, though some were made and sat in a warehouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was (originally; there was a warehouse find later) primarily as a pack-in with the NES Action 52 multicart. The creator of that nonsense really thought he had The Next Big Thing there. Needless to say, he was wrong. I mean... look at it. Those advertised action figures never existed. BA773 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

october Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Didn't realize that was a pack in. I think I saw a short documentary about the creator. Probably on YouTube somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that they got sued by Hooters for using the name without permission (they didn't even try) may have had something to do with it. To be fair though, they apparently sold out their print run (7000, reportedly) before the lawsuit resolved, so... it kinda was a success anyway. thehumantorch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeniorSurfer Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 C'mon now... there are scores of lousy "can't fail to miss" books of all eras. I resist allowing this thread to die. Created by Byrne, the Great Lakes Avengers, which included Dinah Soar, Big Bertha, Doorman and Flatman (all are actual superhero names) incredibly didn't catch on. And these were "good" core members. A Pulp Fiction gimp-like recruit named Leather Boy was turned down, though to be fair he had no super powers and thought it was a fetish group. You can't make this stuff up. Actually I guess you can, but it doesn't sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
