The lesser know super-heroes.

[Casual Shinji]

We all know about the big boys like Batman and Spider-man, but what of the more obscure super-heroes.

For example: the Maxx.

Created by Sam Keith. The Maxx tells the story of a super-hero who is constantly stuck between two worlds. The dream world where he's a jungle aveger in a savage land and the real world where he's a homeless bum.

What are some of the lesser known super-heroes, you feel nobody really knows about?

A lot of people had no clue who Deadpool was before the dumb Wolverine movie. But he is still my favorite (semi-)obscure hero.

I'm not sure how many people are familiar with Penance

Agreed.

 

[Undeleted]

Empowered [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empowered] is pretty obscure last time I checked. It's also pretty hilarious

The Dogwelder. Yes, his power is as it sounds. He welds dogs: to people. From Section 8 comics.

Three things come to mind.
1.) "What the fuck?"
2.) "Why?"
3.) "Who in their right mind thought of that?"

He's actually from the series Hitman at around issue 18.I don't feel like looking through my book shelf though.

Woops, yeah, messed that up. Section 8 is the team, in the Hitman comics.

 

[martin's a madman]

Well "V" from V for Vendetta was obscure before the film, but still not a lot of people know about him. Also Rorscach from Watchmen shares a similar fate.

 

[Brnin8]

I guess the Ripping Friends are somewhat obscure (not sure if they ever had a comic though)
They were made by the guy who did Ren and Stimpy.

 

[CIA]

Ronin. He was a bad ass.

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

The Tick (see avatar <-) doesn't get nearly enough appreciation from most folks.

Impossible Man! Think of all the Animaniac rolled into on body with omnipotence and a will to abuse it.
