^^^Wow, thats digging deep!

Wow that was a fast post.

This is the only thread i'm even halfway interested in responding to on the page.

True, true. Kind of a common problem with comics outside of the "big two."

I generally only read MTMTE, but Ghostbusters and Turtles was good. Definately worth the wait.

Maybe with this big event "Revolution", they'll be motivated to get things out on time.

(To make this thread relevent, the "recruit" guy from the Ghostbusters games is probably pretty obscure by comic standards.)

I appreciate that Riv.

Death's Head 2
Sleepwalker
Slapstick

Nice to see Slapstick

New Universe Justice. Love that guy.

Same Here, but jeez they did one mighty job of F#$ing up the character in New Universal.

He went from being able to heal himself WITH complete concentrated focus (and a "clean aura", good vibe) from wounds over hours (like when he regenerated his burned hand in a day) to completely regenerating from death almost instantly.

From being able to read the auras of people and knowing their emotional state to knowing everything about a persons entire life.

Yeah, that was way too much.
I'm more of a PAD/Lee Weeks reboot guy.

The Giant Space fish from the X-Men cartoon.

So for a less cynical answer:

Death's Head (both I and II)
The Doctor (Wildstorm)
Drizzt Do'Urden (more a book character than comics, and less obscure in fantasy circles)
Spider Jerusalem

Again, I'm not sure any of those are obscure by KMC standards. At least anymore (once upon a time, I was 1 of maybe 3 people who knew of DH and Wildstorm). But they're the most obscure I'm a huge fan of.

I say if 5 out of 10 people never heard of them then they're obscure.

5 out of 10 KMCers? Or, like, regular people? If the latter, you could pick anyone who hasn't had his or her own movie (and a few who have), and it would qualify.

5 out of 10 KMC'ers not knowing would make them extremely high Obscure.

Fair enough, and agreed. In my experience, though, there's very little in between. Either Green Lantern is obscure, or some F-list villain that appeared in 3 issues in 1972 is obscure. I suppose there are some casual fans that fall in between. But I apparently don't know any of them.

Well I am a big fan of stats and Handbooks so going through Marvel Rapsheet or Marvel Appendix brings me info on rare characters like Umbra and Jaagur

Anyway. Mrrungo-Mu was pretty hilarious. I'm reasonably sure he was a walking racist stereotype in his earliest appearance(s). But I'd add him to my list, just for nostalgic lulz.

Also, Hulk Killer Humanoid. He is eternally on another level.

Overlord(Silver Surfer Villain) Xorr the God Jewel Khoon Archenemy Klaatu.
