And while Pepper was gone, there was the matronly secretary Mrs. Abrogast, his head of PR Marcy Pearson (Rhodey was the one sleeping with her), his startup partner Clytemnestra. No romance with them either. I could swear it was spelled "Arbogast". (I really want to go back and read some old iron Man stuff now.)

No it's Arbogast, you're right. Neither way ever sounds right to me even after seeing it a thousand times. I promise to never chastise someone for Norman Osborne again. (But all you Spiderman assholes can go straight to hell.)

I think Hugo had an official exit-iirc during Knightfall it shows him just sort of walking off out of the wrecked cave-and then he came back for a page in Hush to be like "Hush fixed my deformity so I betrayed you to him, but we're cool right? His name is [gets shot]"

Sinners Sandwich posted:Any other supporting characters in the two big universes just vanish on you? Wally West had a pretty decent-sized supporting cast when Bill Messner-Loebs was writing Flash, but they were mostly jettisoned except for Linda after Waid took over the book, I guess because he just didn't want to write them. I think most of Superman's supporting cast he'd built up throughout the 1980s and 1990s under John Byrne, Marv Wolfman, Dan Jurgens, Jerry Ordway, Tom Grummett, Louise Simonson, David Michelinie, Roger Stern et al. (they overlapped a lot across the various Superman family books) were mostly phased out when the Superman books underwent a bit of a soft reboot around the millennium, which I mainly associate with Jeph Loeb (I believe Mike Wieringo did a lot of the pencils around that time). That'd be the likes of Bibbo, Gangbuster and so on - a lot of the Suicide Slum and Project Cadmus characters.

Lucius is still basically being Lucius from the Nolan movies, appearing in the background occasionally to give Batman new tech or give a few lines about Wayne Enterprises financial situation.

Lucius is in the current arc of 'Tec, having been hospitalised by the Victim Syndicate when they broke in to deface the lobby of Wayne Towers. Bibbo has actually showed up a bunch recently, notably in the first arc of Rebirth Superman where Superman and the Eradicator smash up his bar. He was also in Superwoman. Most supporting characters from smaller solo books/runs never stick around. Like Dick Grayson's Chinese-Irish landlady/love interest from the Dixon Nightwing run.

If they ever make a full-on nineties Spider-nostalgia comic, Jimmy Six will be one of the main supporting characters in it. It'd be a team book. The main characters would be the Slingers except they're all clones of Peter Parker, they all believe they're the original, and every month resort to increasingly convoluted schemes to conceal it from the others. Mary Jane would quit smoking at the start of every instalment then take it up again at the end; she'd be impregnated by every clone of Peter at one point or another but every child is revealed to be a highly-trained actress who was only pretending to be miscarried. Once an issue, one of the team proclaims that SHOOOOCKEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR can't escape him and he'll chase him to the ends of the Earth, even if Shocker isn't actually in the comic. The main villains would be the Brotherhood of Scriers, who are all clones of Norman Osborn. Recurring enemies would include Cardiac, Chase and the Tri-Sentinel (who robs banks on a regular basis), and every time the bad guys have them cornered, they're saved by the timely intervention of Solo smashing through a convenient nearby window yelling, "WHILE I LIVE, TERROR DIES!" and firing a machine gun in each hand.

He died back in 1989 or so. The second one is "Mitch" who later gained powers and became a member of the Supermen of America.

It was that Marv Wolfman gang war storyline where he's fall, "No, gently caress you, dad!" and falls in with the wrong crowd, then gets killed in the crossfire in a shoot-out between rival gangs who'd been armed with advanced LexCorp weaponry, I think.

I think JMS mainly created new villains (I don't think he actually uses all that many classic Spider-Man bad guys for most of his run; there's the Doc Ock story - which I really liked - but other than that I'm drawing a blank).

I remember back when Microchip's son got killed. Didn't Micro himself die several years later? I don't really read Punisher so I have no idea if Micro is even around (or if that counts in this case). Also, what about Arnim Zola's kids that came back with Cap? I read those comics and don't even remember what happened. Jet(?) was bad then good then maybe bad again? And the little boy grew up and came back to this dimension and then...?

Ferrule posted:I remember back when Microchip's son got killed. Didn't Micro himself die several years later? I don't really read Punisher so I have no idea if Micro is even around (or if that counts in this case). Jet Black (yes that's her name) was accused of being a double agent by Sharon Carter after she returned from Dimension Z. (post-turning-old) Steve Rogers and (still-Falcon) Sam Wilson were like "Hey let's talk this out we're not gonna charge you with anything but we should take you into custody" then Jet pretty much said "gently caress y'all, my word should be good enough for you, I'm out" then disappeared. Ian, Steve's adopted son and the other Zola kid, came back and was Nomad. He's had not one but two fake-out deaths since his reintroduction (three if you count his reintroduction itself making his first death a fake-out). First Baron Zemo slit his throat on his and Sam Wilson's inaugural mission after Sam took the mantle of Captain America. Thanks to bioengineering somehow he heals from that. Then while fighting Zemo again, Zemo rigs the HYDRA base they're in to explode and it seemingly explodes. But then it turns out he managed to get in some magic bullshit elevator which warped him to a domain on Battleworld where HYDRA controlled the world (this makes Ian one of the few characters who survived the death of the multiverse along with Loki and Silver Surfer) in a SW mini called Hail HYDRA. He makes it back to the bullshit elevator with Ellie Rogers, Steve and Sharon Carter's daughter from that dimension. And then it ends!... Nomad hasn't appeared since then although seeing his reaction to Steve Rogers Agent Of Hydra could be fun. And hey, Steve could even kill him in a cliffhanger ending, since fake dying is apparently his forte! edit: after writing all that I totally forgot how shady as poo poo the circumstances of Sharon Carter coming back to life were. I'm still waiting on her to be a double agent or an LMD or both. TwoPair fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Dec 7, 2016 |

Jeez. I remember some of that and I was reading all them books at the time. Jet had the potential to be a good anti-hero. I never liked Ian when he grew up but it's just weird how they were all hand-waved. Stupid Secret War.

She has a great scene convincing Superman/Doomsday to let out his aggression in space, and Aaron Kuder draws her like a total maniac. And hopefully it's getting you into Charles Soule's Red Lanterns.
