I know that on the old boards I was always asking, "whatever happened to so and so" in current comics, since I'm not reading many current titles. So here's a thread devoted to the topic.
To start off-- is it still true that no one ever tried to launch any "Contest of Champions" characters in a feature, aside from (faith and begorra) Shamrock?

Quisp made a comeback of sorts in Morrison's JUSTICE LEAGUE.

Peregrine got several guest-spots in several books, and did have a solo story in Marvel Comics Presents #51.

To start off-- is it still true that no one ever tried to launch any "Contest of Champions" characters in a feature, aside from (faith and begorra) Shamrock? Defensor and Blitzkrieg were both killed off by Mark Gruenwald at the end of his run on Captain America. It's a little odd, in that the storyline was essentially a reprise of the Scourge of the Underworld story, only flipped, with a serial killer murdering superheroes. Gru even invoked Scourge during the story. All this despite the fact that Gru had previously said that he regretted killing off so many supervillains in the Scourge storyline, both because the characters may have had potential he wasn't seeing and also he felt he had disrespected some of the creators who came up with those characters. So I'm not sure why he decided to do it again anyway. |

I know for sure she's been shown in the MU relatively recently as owning a pub... not sure what book, though... Fearless Defenders, maybe? |

Quisp made a comeback of sorts in Morrison's JUSTICE LEAGUE. "Of sorts" is right. Morrison rewrote Quisp's entire backstory, essentially making him an entirely new character, all in service of a blatant rip-off of what Alan Moore did with Mxyzptlk in "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow." What a sorry waste of a charming, whimsical corner of the DC Universe. Cei-U! I summon the woebegone water sprite! |

I've got Aquaman Showcase, Volume 1, from the library right now. I haven't read very much of it yet, but I noticed Quisp when I was flipping through it. The stories at the front are all Ramona Fradon! |

Moore's rewrite of Mxyzptlk violates more of the original's character in my opinion, though. |

It's a little place just east of Otisburg. |

What's Wyatt Wingfoot been doing since the cancellation of whichever She-Hulk title he used to appear in?
