What are the Slightly Misplaced Comic Book Hero Case Files? Â 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. Â Sometimes they disappeared not long after they popped up anywhere. Â Sometimes they’ve had remarkably different personalities and purposes depending on the needs of whatever story they were in. Â Sometimes one creator was really in love with a character but once that person left a book, the character disappeared. Â 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. Â As a result, we have the Misplaced Heroes Case Files. Â Some of them are lost. Â Some of them are just hanging in the background. Â And some may make a comeback again someday. Â Who can say? Â These, for the most part, aren’t the big name heroes likely to get a movie of their own. Â Let’s give them a little bit of the spotlight.
