Thane, Inhuman son of Thanos. Introduced in Infinity, had the Phoenix Force for a hot minute and even got to be the final boss in a game.

He's trapped in the God Quarry with no indication he will ever return.
>>
>>152782536
What game?

And honestly I'm sick of Thanos as a whole, for much the same reasons I'm sick of what Darksied has become for DC.
>>
>>152782536
I prefer Thane forgotten, like Thanos told Nebula the idea of him siring life is antithetical to his worship of death.

>>152782551
OP may be referring to MUA3.
>>
Isn't that the case for most "child of X" villains? Like you could probably count on your hand how many managed keep relevancy outside their introduction, even ignoring cases where the father has managed to stay dead.
>>
>kid of some superhero/villain
When aren't they shit?
>>
>>152782594
Terry from Batman Beyond?
Though to be fair he did become tainted by virtue of being 'retconned' into Bruce's biological offspring, in one of the most retarded things the DCAU ever did.

What the fuck is wrong with Timm? Why does he push for shit like that or having Bruce fuck Babs.
>>
>>152782594
Harry Osborn?
>>
>>152782585
Soranik Natu and who else?
>>152782594
I can't remember him too well, but Wildcat jr. had an interesting gimmick/look
>>
>>152782695
>Soranik Natu and who else?
Not that anon, but Steph I guess.
>>
>>152782695
Obsidian and Jade had a pretty good run. Damien Wayne (no matter how much I wish it wasn’t the case). Doesn’t professor X’s kid pop up every once in a while when the heroes need their bullshit OP representative?
Though those are all hero’s kids, villain kids do tend to get slapped around and forgotten. Like Kalibak is still a thing but he was introduced pretty early on.
>>
>>152782608
>What the fuck is wrong with Timm?
"Shit, neither of Terry's parents have black hair. Hm, better explain it with a stupid retcon."
>>
>>152782953
Hair dye is a lost technology by Terry's time.
>>
>>152782536
You could probably fill this thread with nothing but Aquaman cast members.

She just popped back up in the most recent issue so we'll see how things go from here but she was just MIA for a long while or if she did show up they had no idea how to use her.
>>
>>152782953
>>152782978
Or even just make one of his grandparents have black hair? I don't know shit about genetics, but I know traits like that can skip a generation.

>Doesn’t professor X’s kid pop up every once in a while when the heroes need their bullshit OP representative?
You mean Legion? Yeah he shows up now and then but he's got such an awkward powerset that I think most writers don't know what the fuck to do with him so they just ignore him.
>>
>>152783771
Legion is so dumb.
>>
>>152783693
What a terrible character lmao bitch looks like a guido
>>
>>152783859
She's like one of the five good original big 2 characters from the 21st century
>>
>>152783859
From how scenes with her and Kyle go I think they were going for a Trinity look, Reloaded specifically.
>>
>>152783808
He was fun in Legacy, but yeah basically any other time he's appeared, he's just been dumb. I have an enduring disdain for Age of X in particular. Such a wasted fucking arc..
>>
>>152782536
Knew he would be shit from his name alone. Clearly they didn't understand Thanos is supposed to evoke Thanatos
>>
>>152783893
>good

She is. It's cool to admit you don't actually read comics though

did you guys not play MUA3?
not as good as 1 but way better than 2

OP
>>
>>152782585
Grayven, who was yet another son of Darkseid, and got pushed on Superman and Kyle Rayner and even the Outsiders for a bit, got killed 2007 and only recently appeared again. He was this close to being killed for real.
>>
Is Marvel still trying to make Starling happen? You know, the heroic grand-daughter of Vulture who totally isn't an excuse to have Zendaya in the actual comics, seemingly just to flirt with Miles.
>>
>>152782536
This was a stupid putz of a character by a garbage writer who never should have been allowed to touch Thanos. Or Thor. Or fucking 4-d man, for that matter
>>
>>152782536
I think we alright as doctor/pseudo cult leader taking care of a bunch of aliens he found. Then tried to make him into another which was an extremely bad idea.
>>
>>152782536
I we talking forgotten or actively written out?
>>
>>152786564
He shouldn’t have been allowed to tough anyone, but alas.
>>
>>152786522
I don't think you know who Zendaya is or who she plays in the MCU
>>
>>152786522
She's MCU Liz minus everything about her.

I liked all the tangent characters but then they were all killed off before the story started for a zombie apocalypse story elseworlds tangent thing that will probably be the last time we ever see them again.

Gods and Monsters from DCAU too.
>>
>>152782536
Thanos cheated (on) Death?

>>152783972
That and thane essentially means subordinate so they've permanently marked him as an underling.
>>
>>152782536
Virtually all inhumans (Kamala Khan excepted, but she was turned into a mutant) created after 2010.
>>
>>152783693
Is she still evil because Kyle didn't tell her about their stupid future son

Not a superhero, but I'm curious, what became of Miriam Sharpe after Civil War? Last I recall was her making peace with Speedball during Fear Itself.
>>
>>152782536
man, modern writers fucking suck. just slam shit together without creating anything new. oh people liked pheonix 50 years ago ill mash it with movie character and make it his son called donut steele that is more powerful than superman and batman combined.

JSA is filled with children of superheroes and villains who are based

Cosmic Ghost Rider is the culmination of this lazy copy paste, post-irony bullshit and he's front fucking center >>152779358
I'm sure some regrettable percentage of DC readers must buy into Batkek shit since he keeps popping up too, but at least a vocal portion decried it. I have not heard nearly enough vitriol for CGR showing up in that beat em up.
>>
>>152782641
Probably the best example

Editors and other writers hated Triumph so bad that Priest had to remind them that he was a fictional character. Then he was turned evil for a retarded reason.

Fun fact, Priest modeled his personality after DC editor Neal Pozner whose personality rubbed most staff the wrong way because he was so headstrong and was frequently "right" about stuff.

Couldn't you just say inhumans period?

>>152790102
There were no Inhumans created, only NuHuman trash
>>
>>152793355
Discarded doesn't work for the original Inhumans. They showed up in things for decades since first appearance. Outside of Kamala the only ones to continue were a few existing characters that gained additional powers, and they ignore that in their later appearances.

She may as well be the poster child of this entire archetype
>>
>>152791115
That's probably one of the reasons why Priest was bullied out of DC and nearly bullied out of the Big Two in the 90s, if not for Quesada's intervention. Neal Ponzer was A. gay B. died of AIDS C. Phil Jimenez's lover and D. George Perez's BFF
>>
>>152793364
Some new inhumans were created, but nobody cared for them.
>>
>>152794981
Triumph was also meant to be gay, but it wasn't implemented
>>
>>152782536
All of them, hopefully.

>>152790273
Evidently she was possessed by Parallax at some point. I imagine she'll be green again when all is said and done.

>>152783762
Black hair is a dominant gene. If one parent has it your kid will most likely have it and two red hair parents can't have a black hair kid because it's not the dominant hair color gene

She blew up barra computer and then got monologued at by darkseid about how he's gonna make an absolute crisis

I wonder what will it entail.
Since they are planning an event for that line.

The Saga of Danny Chase is something to behold and even has it's own meta foil to make it pure pottery.

>Wolfman created Danny Chase thinking everybody would love him
>everybody in and out of universe fucking hated him
>he tried to fix the character by giving him a new badass identity for him via having a new mysterious identity show up, be "cool", and then reveal it was actually Danny.
>it didn't work and people to this day think Danny should've never existed

>Wolfman created Terra thinking everybody would hate her
>everybody liked her
>he tried to write her worse and worse and make her a chain smoking slut in an attempt to make people hate her
>it didn't work and people to this day think she's misunderstood and didn't deserve any of that
>>
>>152798525
The issue where Slade and Beast Boy sit down and eat breakfast together is so retarded. Slade just happened to be close friends with the African king who raised Beast Boy, and Terra happened to murder him.
>>
>>152798525
>>152798840
>NOOOOOOOO THE 14 YEAR OLD GIRL WAS SO EVIL SHE GROOMED THE 50 YEAR OLD WAR VETERAN YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME
What was Wolfman smoking

>>152798925
Supposedly
>What if Kitty Pryde, but evil?
>>
>>152798525
Sounds like the first is the audience rejecting the writer's pet OC, but the second is waifufags in denial, rejecting the story that was told and still seething about it decades later. You guys can't just let a character created to be a villain just be a villain and stay a villain, not get treated as an innocent victim who 'deserves' a redemption arc. Just learn to accept that you like evil women.

Rick Jones and Snapper Carr
They get brought back into the limelight for humliation rituals and memberberries

When was the last time Rick was cool? When he was A-Bomb?
>>
>>152782536
South Paw & Cloud 9.
>>
>>152799140
Rick Jones has potential force that might lead to human imperialism over the universe or something.
>>
>>152798214
If that was true black hair would be a lot more common than it is in reality. Genetics aren't that simple.

I don't think he's been well regarded but the way Titans AND Aquaman writers don't give a fuck about Garth and have barely used him since the 00s after being used well in both titles during the late 90s is sad
