Name Three of your favorite Obscure comic book characters & why

Now I have more the three of course but because they seem badass here is my three.

1.Brell aka Gun Runner Marvel UK. Just seems badass

2.Khatylis Cosmic Power Ulimited #2 look cool and powerful

3.Topographical Man Marvel Presents #4 Just on pure size.

1. Blue Diamond - The costume is over the top stupid, but I dug how he just kind of sat in the background during Liberty Legion comics, but was there when push came to shove. He fought Namor knowing he was going to lose, but hung in there regardless.

2. The Human Fly - He was a real person that they made into a comic. Stuntman Rick Rojatt. I always thought it was possible to have a steel skeleton when I was young. I have all the Human Fly comics.

3. The Collective Man - Always thought he was a cool concept and under used. Can draw the strength from all the people in China. Imagine how strong he could be summoning the strength of 1 billion people.

Huc - He's the strongest

This topic is unfairly weighted in my favor. Almost ALL my favs are somewhat obscure.

Top 3 MOST obscure
1. Dark Nebula
2. Dr Occult
3. Toss up between Darkling and demon slayer

You're the king of obscure characters 😛

Most of my favorite characters are obscure as well. Too many to list. Why do I like them? Because they're different, not normal by conventional means.

Obscure is such a contextual term. Green Lantern is obscure for a lot of people. Any X-Man that isn't wolverine is obscure for many. But on KMC? You better be packing someone from a D-list company to seem obscure.

Once upon a time I would've said Death's Head or something. But you all know who he is. No one I'm into is obscure by KMC standards.

/srug

Cheng Bo Sen - Gun Fu - hip hop talking martial artist in 1930s Hong Kong
Paulie Bruckner - The Unwritten - foul mouthed badass in a world that is based heavily on Winnie the Pooh
Slaine - Slaine - Celtic berserker warrior who ignores all conventions in prehistoric Britain.

Highly recommend all three series. The Unwritten, in particular, by Mike Carey.

Grimjack, Badger, Marineman. Because they rock.

Death's Head (1) cause he Rocks.
Absolam Daak, Cause he ROCKS
WIld Dog , Cause he ROCKS!

Solar
Plutonian
Spawn

How is Spawn obscure? 🤨

At max power, he significantly damaged U.S. Agent's vibranium shield.

Forgetmenot.

(Because being obscure is what he does.)

I like all of them because they have an unusual powerset and arentt "typical" hero type characters.

DNs darkfire is an energy blast, verging on magic, soul type power. He seems more human with a temper and not a "noble" hero type.

Occult is a mage who isnt that powerful, pretty basic capabilities but has his disk that is like the foil for high end magics. Add to which hes more the guy whos stuck doing what he does than the hero who has a noble cause.

Demon slayer the same. His cloak lets him fight on much higher levels than his powers allow and hes a hero mainly to stick it to the cult that developed his powers. Darkling is VERY similar to demkn slayer (vertually exactly same power set and motif). And whike shes more a standard hero motive wise shes freakin hot.

Faith herbert
Red sonja

Pretty much everybody on The Doom Patrol.

Ya know....those guys Stan Lee ripped off to make the X-Men....

I figure any character that isn't mainstream would be considered obscure by proxy.

1. Savage Dragon (original SD)
Savage Dragon gets my vote, because of his personality. He's a thug on the right side of the law.

2. Vanguard.
Van is or was pretty badass. He was basically an alien with super human strength that wore tech armor to buff him up even more. I enjoyed the series when it was out in the 90's.

3. Conan the Barbarian.
Conan series rule. Back in the day when I used to get buzzed on cannabis, it was one of my favorite pastimes to chill in my room, and read the old Conan magazines. Pure adventure.
