Meet Charles Vickers. The ACTUAL 4rth Green Lantern after Stewart and before Kyle. He only appeared for like 2 or 3 stories before dying. Not even Johns remembers this guy or any Green Lantern writer. Did he come back in blackest night? Fuck no. He was just forgotten.

Post your favourite forgotten characters.

Didn't Greg Weisman plan to headline some sort of cartoon with him?

Wasn't Charlie introduced before both Guy and John? I know he came before John, at least

But yeah Charlie is a cool dude with a lot of wasted potential

Yeah he did. I forgot what issue he showed up but it was around #30-50. He was pretty interesting seeing how he was an Actor who's brother got killed and then donned the ring when they were recruiting never to return to earth because he was in another sector.

Yes, IIRC he was the SECOND Green Lantern not counting Alan.

He actually played Hal in a TV show and that's how they met.

Quoted By:

Kana the Secret Shadow Warrior was a Japanese man who was trained in the ancient arts of the ninja since he was just a boy. When he reached manhood and returned to his village, he found his parents hanged by Imperial Japanese soldiers because they were friendly with westerners. Because of this, Kana smuggled himself to Britain and offered his services to the man known as Control, the head of the O.S.S. Control accepted Kana's offer and Kana was sent out to fight the soldiers of his homeland, as well as help out American G.I.'s stationed in the Pacific Theater.

I seriously challenge you guys to find one hero, non-secondary character ten or more years old who hasn't been brought back in some form five or more years later.

Writers love to dig through the Who's Who books to find characters that never got more appearances.

If Robinson just let Taylor write the Earth 2 Batman book we wouldn't have this problem, but he threw a bitchfit and took his toys with him.

I mean yeah if he'd stayed there would probably have been a bit more JSA attention but with editorial pushing destruction and death and trinity characters I don't really blame him for leaving

Taylor on a second book instead of the main book wouldn't have done anything except delay the inevitable

Yeah. It sounded interesting, but I'm not sure Johns would've been happy with Hal as a supporting character.

J. Wilbur Wolfingham. Old Superman enemy whose schtick was being a super-wealthy grifter. His schemes were never ILLEGAL, just super fucking backhanded and dickish. So Superman and Lois Lane would always find a way to make the scheme backfire.

Gradually got phased out as Lex Luthor subsumed the "super wealthy tycoon" character aspect into himself alongside "mad scientist."

To add to that: Weisman and Vietti were supposed to have been working on the GL show before making YJ. It was supposed to be YJ's premise (black-ops team of younger recruits) but with the GLs, with Hal and the other Earth Lanterns, as well as Kilowog, as recurring menotors. The main trio would've been Charlie Vicker, Arisia, and Arkkis Chummuck.

Weisman and Vietti were moved to Space Ghost after the GL movie was pushed back and Timm, Volpe, and others made GL:TAS. Space Ghost fell through and Weisman and Vietti made YJ.

The mandate was to use unknown GLs at the time. So they could have them as teen heroes without anyone getting mad about it.

What people always forget about Robinson is that he was trying to save himself from another Cry for Justice situation. When you're a writer, your name is your brand. Tarnish it too much with shitty stories, you fuck up your career.
