So Marvel invited to pitch a few non-Xbook characters that haven't been used in awhile, with the caveat that my chances aren't the greatest. Still, it's a great exercise and who knows? I could strike a nerve.

Going to make my own list, but do you have any favorite obscure Marvel heroes or villains that haven't been seen in a long time, but you'd like them to be? Throw me some names!

Thanks, IMWAN.

Maybe not as obscure as some of the above, but not exactly A-list: The (Heart-Throbbin') Hellcat.

Marvel jumping on that Happy Days bandwagon... introducing their "New" 1950's character in the 1970's.

I'd bump it up to the '60s and milk the Mad Men fad as much as possible.

In the 60's, Don Draper would've been the real name of a criminal called The Curtain-Master.
