For you members who love stumbling across a character that had lots of potential, but has remained somewhat hidden over the years, you probably understand why I enjoy doing this.
Anyway...
Here are the next group of submissions you all have posted, all still waiting to be profiled for "Obscurity".
I will start checking info. And, today or tomorrow, I will post the formula I have been using to establish a rating.
I will tell you this, it involves the following criteria, along with sliding scale modifiers to keep the ratings as honest and unique as possible:
1. Total Number of Appearances (Original Story Involvement Only. No Handbooks, Reprints or Collections, etc.)
2. Total Number of Years Since First Appearance
3. Bonus Cap Point System - awarded depending on the following:
a. Was the character a One-Shot appearance?
b. Did the character have their own Comic Title.
c. How many years since their Last Appearance?
* Characters Not from Marvel or DC- Let's be honest, for the most part, it might be easier to find more obscure characters who don't come from the 2 biggest companies. But, it also doesn't seem to be as great an accomplishment as being Marvel/DC and somehow, remain hidden for long periods of time.
These characters will not be dealt in any special way. There will be no benefit or penalty for this status. If we see any pass through this thread, we can just see what happens for now. Test the waters.
Although there may be plenty of obscure non-Marvel/non-DC characters, it is much easier for them to have remained “Obscure”, due to most independent companies having less visibility than Marvel and DC.
For a "Quality" character to have been in a Marvel or DC book and yet, somehow, remain “obscure”, is a bigger accomplishment and much more surprising.
