Most Under-Achieving Character of the Bronze Age

[joe_collector]

how about Jack of Hearts? Very cool in the IM series.

 

Yeah, that's another good one. I had all those IM issues.

 

I never really got into him with those Iron Man issues, but I can still remember reading his fight with the Hulk. I think when I came to this part, with the monster punch, my jaw hit the floor.

Thanks for the conformation. One mistake around here can get a nubies butt chewed.

I always liked Brother Voodoo. He was a great charcter and I enjoyed seeing him recently in Black Panther.

He was always a strong charcter and not overly powerful so you could still identify with him.

And I liked his powers of the loa. And his ability to die and come back.

Brother voodoo is one of those undervalued first app. I think it was ST 169 or something like that. And you can get it for a buck.

[Spider-Variant]

Okay, looks like Nova is leading the field. Who has some others?

[mica]

Red Wolf

Human Fly

Kull

I would have to agree with Nova. Another character I think is undervalued even after his Avengers appearances is Wonder Man.

[Rodey]

Nova and Human Fly. Solid.

 

I would go with Karma and of course...Black Lightning. (Man, that SNL skit always cracks me up.)

[spidrvacc]

Wonderman was my second thought but he was a silver age character , correct me if I am wrong . Avengers 9 reintroduced in early 70's i believe but he is a silver age character I believe.

 

I am going

 

Nova

Human Fly

Scarlet Spider

[Spider-Variant]

Nova

I guess I would consider Wonderman a bronze age character, since that is essentially where he was developed.

 

But the Scarlet Spider would be a copper age character. Potential sure, but that's a whole can of worms for another forum.

[spidrvacc]

I meant the Spider Clone ( but i was just kidding around.

 

I stick with my 2 choices of Nova and Human Fly.

Kull

I would definitely agree with Kull. I thought the writing and art were strong throughout the series.

 

I agree with the others that have said Nova. I really liked the series even though sometimes Richard Ryder was a bit too Peter Parker-ish for my tastes.

RR's name even has the same "feel" as PPs.

No question that Nova was modeled on Spidey, but in general RR was a little bit less of a wuss than PP (which isn't saying much).

Wonder Man would be my second choice as well, and I can remember consistently buying The Avengers after Wondy came back, just because he was so interesting. It was neat that he just appeared on day, no one knew why or how, and he kind of had to figure it out as he went along.

 

Then Marvel took him in that stupid "I want to be a movie star" angle, and totally ruined the character.

[dortbomb-migration]

The first character I thought of was Jack of Hearts.

With numerous appearences for a time in Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu magazine, Iron Man, Hulk, MTIO. and even a Marvel Premiere one-shot he always seemed to me to being "groomed" for success.

I think he was legitimately popular during that time then seemed to just peter out.

 

My guess is artists just didn't want to draw that costume any more!!

[joe_collector]

That, and the fact that they ret-conned him into an alien-human hybrid.

Nova

Scarlet Spider

 

Agreed he came out in Avengers #9 but he also "died" in that issue. His character was not really re-introduced until the bronze age. I would consider him born with a "silver" spoon but raised in the "bronze" age.

What issues was this in? I only got the IMs.

[spidrvacc]

ok agreed Wonderman is Bronze.

So my list will be

 

Nova

Wonder Man

Human Fly ?

Spider Clone
