The Misplaced Characters Case Files

CASE FILES

What are the Slightly Misplaced Comic Book Hero Case Files?  Well, they’re a series of articles written by me, Tom, giving a bit of history behind various superheroes that have been published by different companies over the years.  Sometimes they disappeared not long after they popped up anywhere.  Sometimes they’ve had remarkably different personalities and purposes depending on the needs of whatever story they were in.  Sometimes one creator was really in love with a character but once that person left a book, the character disappeared.  Some are forgotten for very good reasons.

But they all exist, and someone thought they were a good enough idea to put them into print at some point in time.  As a result, we have the Misplaced Heroes Case Files.  Some of them are lost.  Some of them are just hanging in the background.  And some may make a comeback again someday.  Who can say?  These, for the most part, aren’t the big name heroes likely to get a movie of their own.  Let’s give them a little bit of the spotlight.
