You can actually read some old Golden Era comics featuring lesser known characters, including several that have been posted in this thread (Twister is in #39, for instance) here:

Personally, I'd like to toss out a request for Man O' Metal, who is in issue #4 on that site, and is also in a story here:

I've got two American Crusader skins. One is by ToxicJ, the other was by Copper Age. I think the Toxic J skin is at Alex's Freedom Fortress, and the Copper Age skin is on on e of the Copper Wire Yahoo groups. Nice thing about Copper Age, he gave you an idea of what some of these characters would do so you have a little something to base your Hero file on.

I downloaded a Green Turtle story from a comic book newsgroup a year ago. Something that goofy I just HAD to read. I actually think that it was no worse (but certaintly no better) than most of the other comics from the time.

[GhostMachine]

I believe there's also an American Crusader skin at Freedom Asylum, as well.

[HumanTon]

I forgot to mention: kssaints Avenger hex and skin are awesome!

I'd also like to submit my annual request for the original Iron Man (really)--the father of all heros in armored suits--ladies and gentlemen, Bozo the Robot!

No, I'm wrong; the skin at Freedom Asylum is the one I was thinking of.

The Avenger IS awsome!

Still, what are we going to do with all these skins?

Obscure heroines Black Angel, Wildfire, Dragonfly  :rickbm

If I can figure out how to get the cock-comb thing off one of the bad guys in the new Pulp Fiction mod and on a Taskmaster mesh, I may be able to do Blue Bolt. We have male alpha and male alpha collar, it's too bad we don't have male alpha fin or a version of male alpha with a fin that can be changed. I have wanted to do Blue Bolt, but haven't because of the fin issue.

Also: there is a Fu Manchu look-alike (and a LOT of monions) in the new Pulp Fiction mod.

Let me know if there's something in particular you need.  My Max is screwed up and doesn't want to export keyframes very well today, but I may be able to help some.  FYI, while Yellow Dragon is obviously based on Fu Manchu as far as character goes, he's actually done on the Ramulus/Nightshade mesh (the golden age Sandman foe).

[Green Hornet]

Here are some Oldies The Falcon, Captain Battle, a new one Orion Hunter  :rickbm

[GhostMachine]

I'm pretty sure that Copper Age did a Captain Battle skin.

[Green Hornet]

An Obscure Group The Fab Four  :rickbm

[crocodamon]

Wonderfull comics, wonderfull initiative  :thumbup:

[Juanjete]

the falcon is cool!!

[daglob]

I've got The Fab Four and their enemy the Coal Man (or something) sitting unfinished on my hard drive, along with an unfinished Nukla, Raven (THUNDER Agents), a weird set of mutants from the original Original Doom Patrol, and Sinestro-Boy Friend (no relation). I just don't know when they'll get finished.

[BentonGrey]

Is it just me, or is Black Angel's costume horrifically obscene.....

[JKCarrier]

Is it just me, or is Black Angel's costume horrifically obscene.....

She does look awfully cold for someone who's standing in front of a flaming swastika...  :o

[yell0w_lantern]

Careful. Don't poke an eye out on those things.

[Manfred]

I would call it wonderfully obscene

[daglob]

I'm pretty sure that Copper Age did a Captain Battle skin.

I can only find two Copper Age revival Yahoo groups, and the good Captain isn't in either of them. He does look kinda neat, and The Falcon is priceless.

[lmalonsof]

Is it just me, or is Black Angel's costume horrifically obscene.....

Absolutely right. That'll be great if I could get more pictures of her with that horrifically obscene catsuit.

I'm afraid some of Copper's skins are "lost"; if I remember right, he actually had something like 3 or 4 groups when he was skinning.

[Green Hornet]

More obscure heroes The Owl, The Blitz (golden age) The Blitz (silver age) :rickbm

[daglob]

Working on The Owl for Male Alpha

I've also created a Yahoo group called "Character Obscura" to post my contributions on anyway. I've been real busy the past week, or I'd have posted El and Hy from The Fab Four (they were closest to being finished when they were requested), along with Major Victory and my version of The Greatest American Hero, Commander USA, Captain Nice, and Mr. Teriffic (maybe some others with Benton Grey's permission). I was waiting for it to have a little content before i announced it. I hope that the others that have done obscure heroes and villains will put their work there.

I started on The Falcon for Black Bolt No Fork, too.

[daglob]

Okay, Character Obscura has some content now. I've put some TV heroes on there, along with Major Victory and the 1966 version of The Shadow.

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/characterobscura/

Now, if I can jsut get finished with some of the others...

I also hope that the other heroes and villains from this thread will show up.

[HumanTon]

 :thumbup: Great idea for a group, daglob!

[yell0w_lantern]

The Blitz? I love Big Bang comics! I wish they were still made in color. Beacon would be very cool too.

[Green Hornet]

Great idea Daglob to have a site that anyone can contribute obscure heroes/villains to  :rickbm

[YoungHeros]

this is the best thread ever :thumbup:

[daglob]

Now at Character Obscura:

Captain Battle
Captain Marbles
The Owl

Whne is somebody else going to post something?

And what is that thing on The Falcon's head, anyway? A light? A falcon?

[Green Hornet]

The thing on the Falcon's head looks like a light.  Here are some more obscure heroes Fruitman, Captain Flower, Super Hippie, Mandala  :rickbm
