Misused/underused villains

The title pretty much says it all, which non-over exposed characters are cool and should be seen more often?

gorgon is underused

Galactus is misused.
Kingpin is underused.

I'd love to see some more Graviton

Mephisto could be so damn awesome if he was used right.

he was used right when he retconed Spiderman's career....😂

Harley Quinn pl0x.

Underused:
R'as Al Ghul
Kingpin (recently)
Man-Bat
Zom (in person)

Misused:
Darkseid
Count Nefaria
Apocalypse
Despero
Lex Luthor
Deathstroke
Pretty much every character that appeared in Countdown to Final Crisis

I just read Count Nefaria's showing in Busiek's Avengers... Uber.

I hesitate to call Kingpin underused. Sure, recently he hasn't shown up a lot, but he's been such a go-to villain for Daredevil and Spidey in the crime department for *decades*. Guy can use a break, he'll come back in force.

I think KP would have been a better pick for the role of villain in Dark Reign than Norman Osbourne.

Er no.

Oh and Champion is horribly misused.

Mister Sinister is both, tbh...

Well KP has a history of being a villain hiding in plain sight whereas Osbourne getting appointed to his position made as much sense as would the Joker getting elected Mayor of Gotham.

It's Osborn, not Osbourne 😛 You always mispell it.

And like I said in the other thread, you really should read Gage's Thunderbolts... and Dark Avengers.

There were several Goblins, so it wasn't that hard for Osborn to convince people he was just a harmless clown that fought a menace known as Spider-Man from time to time and nothing more 🙂

Killing Skrull Queen alone did NOT make him new Nick Fury, as shown in T-Bolts. You think they'd offer that job to f--- Wolverine if he cut her head off (which he was about to do)? Hell no.
