    Is Conan available or is that owned by Dark Horse now?

    The Great Lakes Avengers
    (Yes, I know they're cameo-ing here and there and had a mini in 2005-ish)

    I recall a couple of short-lived characters from the 90s, both of whom live in the future and one of whom was seemingly killed off, but of course these details would not be obstacles.

    One was called "Metalscream" and the other "Steel Rain." (Hee hee ha ha!)

    But, joking aside, it does seem like writers have been awfully busy "mining" Marvel's dormant characters for some while now. (MODOK has become a mini-phenomenon, for god's sake.)

    Hah, here's one for you: as far as I know, Marvel still owns the Circuit Breaker character from Transformers (because they intentionally published a cameo appearance in Secret Wars II, first). Of course, in spite of that effort, I don't believe they've found any use for the character in twenty years.

    Inventing some role for this bionic bikini bitch in the Marvel Universe could be just the project you're looking for.

    (Or not!)

    Would it be worth resurrecting Grant Morrison's U-Men concept? I really dug a lot of the stuff he layered into his X-Men run. Transhumanism, biomechanics and ultraviolence. Ticks a few of my boxes anyway. I know technically they were villains, but the concept seems like it could be re-habbed effectively.

    How about the Neo-Knights? They were the Marvel owned human superhero team from the Transformers comic book.

    Taken from a Transformers Wiki:
    Assembled by industrialist G.B. Blackrock to use their powers to make a difference in the Transformer war on Earth, the Neo-Knights are:

    Circuit Breaker/Josie Beller
    Dynamo/Hector Dialonzo
    Thunderpunch/Lee Gruber
    Rapture/Katrina Vesotsky

    The Neo-Knights were assembled by G.B. Blackrock and the United States government to combat the perceived Transformers threat to Earth. They kind of disappeared after Unicron's attack on Cybertron.

    What about the various heroes and teams that popped up in the vampire titles from the 70s like Tomb of Dracula? Vampire Hunters and Satana spring to mind (after dredging the dull recesses of my internal head pulp). Also: I know he's being used but it really has been forever since Nick Fury had his own book that was actually any good.

    Haven't seen Silver Sable or the Reavers for a good long while either.

    ^^ What about Nick's brother and/or nephew who was Scorpio? I think the Countess also had access to the Immortality serum.

    Steve Niles & I keep talking about the need for a 'Malibu Gothic Revival' of Werewolf by Night... doing it as a Raymond Chandler/Brett Easton Ellis/PKD/Horror hybrid.

    That might be up your alley...

    The Slingers.
    The concept was awkward, really. But there was something à la doom patrol which should have been better planned.

    Yep, we're all fucked in the head.

    Unfortunately, that state of head fuckedness is the reason I can't think of any Marvel characters that haven't been revisited recently. Even Human Robot a.k.a M-11 unseen for, like, 30 years has stepped into the 21st century in Agents of Atlas (which I only discovered tonight, dammit). Also: it was great to see Machine Man in those recent Marvel marathons looking just like he did in Nextwave! I got a hell of a kick out of that.

    Also: without the inside info, we plebs are basically stymied until bloody Siege winds up,

    I was going to mention Death's Head II, from the vastly underrated 90s-era mini-series by Dan Abnett and Liam Sharp, but then I went and read the Wikipedia entry for the original Death's Head, who somehow crossed over with both Doctor Who and the Transformers, and then my brain exploded. The end.

    Joseph Ledger (Doctor Spectrum) and the Exiles. At once. Infact call the run 'Doctor Spectrum and the Exiles'. Has a nice ring to it already !

    Well you must have realized that issuing a request like this would bring all the psychos out of the woodwork.
  17.  (7954.97)
    Legion of Monsters?

    Can't imagine anyone else is working on that. Maybe some of the individual monsters, but you could always swap them out for other creatures and still revive the group name for trademark purposes or whatnot.

    Isn't that what Rick & Tony are riffing off in PUNISHER?

    @PapercutXero:

    I totally misread that as Doctor Speculum and the Exiles. Oh, the adventures of a dimension hopping alien OBGyn.
