He's kind of the cliche movie villain who designs elaborate death traps. Makes for good stories.

Moses Magnum. I'm still not clear on if he was in Avengers Ultron or not. If so, I think he was just an arms trader and not super-powered:

always felt Booster Gold. He has a following but hasnt gotten the love. Probably most just know him from his few tv appearances (Smallville, Justice League Unlimited, Batman Brave and the bold, Justice League Action, maybe super hero girls and the last ever episode of Legends of tomorrow)

dc has been toying with a movie for years. just give us something

Booster Gold is definitely underrated. I hope one day Ray Palmer gets some love. Great character possibilites and he's been around over 60 years now

This one is actually pretty high on my list because I think he could make for interesting stories. He did show up in the X-men movies, but no one seemed to care:

Avengers Arena used Arcade well. It reminded me of the japanese movie Battle Royale

This is a tough book to find. Got a 6.5 & 7.0 signed by Sinnott before I finally found and received a 9.0.

The memory of Joe excitingly thumbing through my book because he hadn't seen a copy in a while worth the grade drop 😂

Such a great man. RIP.

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user

I bought a CGC 6.0 that I am cracking out for a Claremont signature in NYCC soon.

@xkonk totally forgot about him in that series. Something new to add to my reading list.

@GAC Couldn't wait to watch Space Ghost on Saturday mornings.... Along with the Herculoids!

Of course there also had to be some Johnny Quest in the mix too...

Nothing beat Johnny Quest. Best cartoon music ever. Can hear it - the intro music - in my head right now. That frickin episode where the dwarf was dressed as a gargoyle gave me nightmares. Saw each episode a dozen times.

I really enjoyed the Blackthorne and DH series. Very Under-rated.
I saw in June that the Blackthorne books funded a Kickstarter and will be republished which is great. Long over-due.

Grant Morrison did an amazing job writing Steel in the 90s JLA book. I wish they had run with that take on the character. He was more of a leader and they really focused on how smart he was building gadgets. He was basically what Mr. Terrific became after being introduced in the ...late 90s?, but without the ego.

Yes, I am a person of Jewish descent, and yes, I know it's not on purpose...but that G-Force salute makes me a little...nervous.

BTW - there was a character in the early '90s from DC called The Heckler. Keith Giffen pencilled and Tom & Mary Bierbaum were the writers. His super power was just coming up with so many obnoxious insults that he would drive his enemies into a blind rage and they'd ultimately defeat themselves. Awesome, hilarious title that only lasted 6 issues. Highly recommended and I don't know what happened to the Bierbaums. I know Giffen is getting near retirement age. Giffen is also a highly underrated penciller, imho.

DC has a kind of interesting character Immortal Man. I think he is now known as Resurrection Man if the two are related. I read the TPB collecting the issues of Resurrection Man and was intrigued enought to pick up a couple copies of the Silver Age first appearance of Immortal Man (Strange Adventures 177):
