Topic: Favorite obscure characters?

Are there any comic fans here?  If so, are there any obscure, lesser known characters that you have a particular fondness for? 

I have a personal obsession with obscure characters.  They stay true to themselves, theyre a lot easier to keep track of, and their lives don't become confusing, over bloated, self contradicting train wrecks, which is what tends to happen with the famous comic characters.

Anyway, here's some examples to get us started:

White Tiger Marvel's first hispanic superhero, he had a lot of tragedy in his life.  And the amulets that gave him his power were addicting like a drug, which was unusual

Tally man I liked the costume and origin of the first one.  Whos says mama's boys can't kick ass?

Solo Used a heck load of weapons, could teleport, and had a cute catchphrase.

Tarantula Loved him mostly for the toe spikes, and cheesy accent.  Plus I thought his origin story was cool.

Abyss I loved the age of appocalypes version, where he was a nihilistic, pun loving vagina monster.  Haven't read any stories with the 616 version though.

The Cliche' from Too Much Coffee Man.

He selflessly fights crime with his mighty power, y'know.

I always had a weakness for Tarantula, too. And Batroc. And their daughters.

Another guy I liked was Savage Dragon.  He was pretty unusual since he had no secret identidy, and started out as a cop.  And his comics have had lots of action, lots of villains, and lots of crossovers.

I always heard Savage Dragon's comics were actually really, really good, but I'd keep seeing, like, people who blasted things out of their ass and other juvenile superpowers

Well I've just read the first 30 or 40, and I didn't see so much of that.  (The library is my main source for comics sad )
