These are the characters that fall into one or more of these categories:
1. # of Showings- Haven't made many appearances.
2. From the Past- Haven't been in a book in a LONG time.
3. 1-Shot-Wonder- Have only been in one story.
But... they are SERIOUS Threats.
Just to throw a couple out there, I would say -
Man-Beast (this panel doesn't even show his other powers)

and one of my personal favorites...
Koontz Satellite Killer (anybody else remember this thing tearing up Iron Man?)

Just to let you know...ultimate XMen #66 is his first appearance...his powers showed up in Ultimate XMen #72.

Well, here we go...
I put some info together for the characters that were submitted.
I looked into them a bit and even came up with a system of assigning an "Obscurity Rating" to each.
Bada said that the boards have been pretty cool lately, so I was able to load up this thread.
If the info is wrong, or needs an update, go for it.

Not so obscure, but not as popular as he could be, but Black Manta. Even after Aquaman cured him of his crippling mental handicap, the dude still shot him in the back.

Here is the next batch.
You will see that I have made an addition in the "Appearances" section. I have added the Last Appearance that I was able to find.
Appearances - Appearances / 1st Appearance - / Last Appearance
In some cases, this will add points to the Obscurity Rating. At some point, I will go back and make adjustments to the previous profiles where applicable.
Horrificus
Well, that concludes the upload of this first wave of "Obscure Villains".
If I missed anybody's submission, it was a mistake. Let me know.
If I wasn't able to find enough info about a character, I'm still going to look around. If I find enough, I will update the profile.
I will be working on the rest of the character submissions and will try to get them on here asap.
A lot of these characters are very interesting, very strange and very powerful. It would be nice to see them in battle here.

It's just not right!
Evil, Super-Villains are "People" too. Unless, they aren't. But, then, they still might have feelings! Um, unless they are a robot, android or some kind of energy creature, etc...
But, still! It's outrageous!
So, I will list them and rate them, "Obscurity-wise", and maybe you guys can figure out how to use them in here.
After all, most of you guys are pretty smart.

Great Evil Beast took a shot against DC Supreme Being and Creator. His only showings that I know was in the Swamp Thing. No one came close in beating this entity. Too bad he was never shown in other DC comics.

It would be worth it to me, if, after I finish the profiles and stuff, I actually saw people use them in a couple threads. Especially if I can add quality stats and history to each character.
Endless Mike
I'll use them
Horrificus
Before I post the listed character profiles, I wanted to share some scans with you guys. For you guys that have been waiting for your character profiles to be posted, I hope you dig these scans.
These scans involve some very powerful, very obscure villains from a series that many of you may not have read. But, judging by my observations of how popular "extremely powerful" characters are in this forum, I thought these gems might be appreciated.
Do not be fooled by imitations! For those of you that prefer books with incredibly powerful characters, splashed with "Deities" and "Super-Science" to form... well, crap that will keep you up at night, thinking a little too much, here it is.
This, my friends, is the "Real Deal".

There was this one shot villain back in the early/mid 90's. Byrne era of Superman, I believe.
Her power was that anything she says the name of, explodes. Street lights, signs, building, anything. Turned out she wasn't even real, just an involuntary construct of an innocent woman, which implies an insane amount of latent power.
Looked everywhere for a name, but apparently she's no obscure, she's not on any list.
Horrificus
I was trying to come up with some sort of method to qualify a character as "obscure" or not. I know a lot of u guys are great at modelling data for use in the forums.
If any of u "seniors" have an idea, it would be nice to hear it.
