Cool concepts in comics that never met there potential

Started by colossulrage2 pages

Jim Lee and Frank Miller on All Star Batman and Robin....I mean it was ****ed with the first panel....Oh what could of been...

And secondary mutations...what a layz way to further a plot

the sentry....
the initial series were very promising...we all know how it went

New Krypton.

Longshot. A character with powers like that should be a regular mainstream character, at least within the X-universe or something. The story potential with a character who has those powers should be so big, yet he's rarely used.

Terraxia

Marvel Boy (Noh Varr) WTF happened? I got the trade when it came out back in the day, he was badass. Then Bendis got ahold of of him and chumped him up.

The Fantastic Four in recent books. We know Reed saves the day, we get it, but this is a team book, Sue is more than a mother and a wife and the others should be the full-fledged heroes they are by their own right.

I HATE secondary mutations.

Bendis chumps everything Avengers related. It's what he does.

Agreed. The FF lately has just not really worked and the last issue doesn't look like improving things.

As in Thanos's ultimate fantasy girlfriend, the one who looks like himself and for some disturbing reason he named after Terrax? I mean I know Thanos has serious issues but WTF???

red hulk

Crossgen comics. Damn their art was top notch, even by today's standards. I don't know what went wrong but it was cool while it lasted.

Realm of Kings could've been cool. But it just had too much going on for two writers to execute with precision.

I'm waiting for Sue to start trumping both Reed and Doom at the same time in another nauseating "Hey, I was a scientist too" push like Banner got.

That's Ultimate FF isn't it? Since Sue wasn't a scientist in mainstream FF. But yeah, here's hoping FF never gets that stupid.

The guy's power set is incredibly creative. He's smart and all but they never use him enough or to his potential.
