Obscure BRONZE age characters 1st appearances

I've been searching for obscure 1st appearances of bronze and copper age characters recently and its been fun!

The heavy hitters will always be there but I've focused those characters that fly under the radar that might be ripe to exploitation later.

I mean who could have predicted TOMB OF DRACULA #10 or MARVEL SUPERHEROES #18?

Here are some of my recommendations:

 

What would you recommend as sleepers?

But which version?  Aren't there multiple versions?

Was referring to the original Foolkiller. Not too familiar with any other versions.

I thought the original Foolkiller 1st appeared in Man Thing #3.  The Foolkiller on the cover of ASM #225 first appeared in Omega the Unknown #9.

Didn't realize the original FK died in Man-Thing. I was thinking of the Kurt Gerhardt Foolkiller actually. But the first appearance of the character/moniker is still MT3 IMO.

Yeah, I can see how it helped this book:

Avengers 144: 1st HELLCAT and one of my favs. Issue that got me collecting AVENGERS

 

 

[Dogsupreme]

Another great character! TIGRA! I would love to see her in the Avengers or Guardians!

To be honest, I don’t consider Tigra and the Man-Wolf "obscure" by any means…

Not a big DC fan but I am turning into one. High grade bronze DC are kinda hard to find. I've been plucking them up when I can.

Got one! Good call but I was unaware there is another version of FOOLKILLER. Gonna have to track that one down.

I believe there are three, I have to check.

The original one dies in the Man-Thing story.

Perhaps, but there has not been much done with them and their first appearance (Tigra not Werewolf) is still VERY affordable.

[Dogsupreme]

And whose bright idea was this? Still bought it though surprisingly hard to find in high grade but cheap.

First one I thought of. With a Kirby cover no less. I think this and the next two issues were his only appearances.
