http://jerome.galica.free.fr/- It doesn't always have the most current stuff (which I completely understand.) but they've got costumes and characters there that I've never seen before.

www.google.com- When all else fails, google it.  ;)

It's an RPG gaming site, but they've got a decent store of pics in their character profiles pages.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page   ---   Wikipedia has helped me find reference pics a few times.

Also, can someone sticky this, this could really be a helpfull thread to those of us aren't familiar with all the characters being named here and there.

I'll sticky it and clarify the topic title a bit.

I think there was a sticky on this up before the boards went down. Or maybe it was in the Hero Files forum with references for characters' powers, origins, etc.

Ahh...but sometimes, google leads to more failures. :lol:

Didn't notice this was stickied. Excellent, it's what I always wanted. First post is mine so I'll add all the link to the first post for easy access.
