Resurrection Man: In one of the best comics you may never have read Mitch Shelley, The Resurrection Man, literally died to save you time and time again. Now with the universe facing more come-backs than your average 80’s pop-band, who better to have on your side than a man who can beat the enemy at their own game?
Rainbow Raider: Don’t laugh, think about it; here’s a guy whose sole power is creating solid beams of right from all colours of the spectrum, and at the heart of Blackest Night are the Armies of Light. While he’s currently a member of the undead in the pages of Blackest Night, if this books set-up doesn’t sound like a cue for ol’ Roy G. Bivolo to get out his rainbow sled and take another shot at fame, nothing does.
Zauriel: With the dead rising you’d think the armies of Heaven would have something to say about it, least of all their most earthbound soldier Zauriel. Through a union of warriors from the various ‘eternal realms’ like Rama and Artemis, Zauriel could help ensure the faith of the living, by showing that even the Blackest Night will have it’s dawn.

Darkseid: Okay so everyone got an overload of the Lord of Apokolips in Final Crisis, but Darkseid is all about one thing; Finding the answer to the anti-life equation. If he can’t put two and two together in a galaxy plagued by the undead he may as well put a dunce hat on and go sit in the corner.
Anyone you want to add to the list?
Rainbow Raider?
ReplyDeleteHard to believe he was created in the 80's huh?
ReplyDeleteHe seems so Golden Age in some ways - especially the name 'Roy G Bivolo'. I picture Flash fans learning the sequence of the spectrum with that name in mind lol.
I guess he's just a testament to when comics were a little more able to laugh at themselves. Regardless with a little thought I'm a believer there's a great story left in every character - even Rainbow Raider.
Where's Crazy Quilt in all this?!?
ReplyDeleteHa! Nice one Rob! Believe it or not I actually have a post set for December on Mr Quilt - be careful what you ask for ;D
