I'm sure all Legion of Super-Heroes fans are wondering Why a Heroes of Lallor series never materialized.
I'd have been happy with that. Although given how disgusted I was with the first issue of the Wanderers series ...

Wonder Man/Beast definitely happened... it was not until the 90s though... IIRC it was subtitled 'Avengers Too'.
I thought Tales of Asgard should have had it's own title, rather than a Thor back up.
I would have loved a 'inside Stark Enterprises' book, starting Tony's silver age supporting cast, but not sure that really would be viable. I did think Guardsman in the Michael O'Brien days would have worked.
I think Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) should have got more than a one-shot
On the DC side, I totally agree a Blue/Gold book would have been far superior than their solo books (though the solo books were pre-Giffen anyway, I think).
Donna Troy is LONG overdue for a solo series.
Natasha Irons should have had a spin off from the Priest days.. man did they mess her up!
I was always a fan of Knockout too...probably would have been too cheesecake if she actually got a series for my taste though.

How about another Wolverine story where something about his background isn't what we thought it was and every thing we know about him changes ... again?
I'm kidding guys. I'm kidding.
But seriously, one Batman villain that always intrigued me (and greatly portrayed in Batman TAS) was the Ventriloquist (Wesker). Outside of a few one shots I can remember in the 90's he's never really stepped out much other than in the Bat titles. Granted I don't think he's even alive anymore and someone else has taken the name. But maybe a mini or maxi series about how he became who he is, which some of his first attempts at crime.

Liked to have seen more of the original Vigilante, in period adventures. James Robinson's mini, City Lights, Prairie Justice, was fantastic. kind of Elmore Leonard meets James Elroy, with a superhero.
Warriors 3 should have gotten their own series, with Alan Zelenetz and Charles vess, based on the Marvel Fanfare stuff.

Ventriloquist is one of my top two favorite Batman villains. And he'd work as a solo star better than most bad guys because he has someone to talk to (and dump exposition on!) |

Warriors 3 should have gotten their own series, ... ...written by Len Wein, with art by either John or Sal Buscema, based on that issue of Marvel Spotlight (fixed it for you -  ). |

Not spinoffs per se, but I'm disappointed there were never any Daredevil/TMNT, Ambush Bug/She-Hulk, or Archie/Simpsons crossovers.

I think Silver Age Thor had the best female supporting cast of any superhero book. So I'd have loved to see "Women of Asgard" with Lady Sif, the Enchantress and Tana Nile all living together in New York. |

I would have liked to see a Nightwing & Flamebird series. The real Nightwing and Flamebird  , set in the bottle city of Kandor. The short series in Superman Family set up a lot of potential plotlines. Adjusting to life in a shrunken city, and even if the city were enlarged, they have no home planet to return to. The separatists, who demanded that the city be removed from the bottle at any cost, including violence and murder. Nightwing having to fill in for Superman (or Clark Kent) while Supes is on a space mission. And since Nightwing and Flamebird were based off Batman and Robin, a teamup with them would be cool to see. I can picture an issue of Brave & Bold featuring "Batman and Flamebird." |

Along the same lines, I always thought Dr. Strange had a great supporting cast, many of them female: I would have eagerly followed a spin-off series featuring Clea, or Victoria Bentley, or Umar, ...
Thena + the Reject & Karkas would have been a great spin-off from the Eternals.
Still with the Kirby creations, Barda should have had a solo series by now, with or without Scott Free as a supporting character.
The more I think about it, the more I remember how many of my favourite comics characters did fill those supporting roles, so I could probably go on forever with these spin-off suggestions:
every single member of the Inhumans that hasn't yet had a series (if there are any). I'd love to have seen a solo Crystal series, or a Triton. Though, come to think of it, the Crystal series would have to have been written by Kirby, since I haven't liked any other version of that character.
Juno, the short-lived villain from Tomb of Dracula - I could read the entire history of that character, how he became a martial arts expert, how he became Dr Sun's henchman, etc.
Various Steve Gerber characters, e.g. Jennifer Kale, Korrek, Beverly Switzler, Richard Rory, the Headmen, ...
MoKF was another book with an incredibly strong supporting cast. Leiko Wu and Black Jack Tarr would be my first choices for spin-offs, but there's no need to stop there.
The Mongolian(I think?) secret agent that appeared in an early-70s Neal Adams Batman story - I remember reading this comic as a kid and feeling more interested in that character than in Batman.
etc

Why was there no Teen Brigade series? As we all know, Rick Jones is the greatest comic book character ever and it is inconceivable that anyone would disagree with this objective fact. The Teen Brigade hung out with the Avengers for a while despite never quite fitting in, tonally, with the rest of the cast. It sure seemed like stealth promotion for an eventual series. Lee resented teen sidekicks (despite his glee in killing Bucky transformed him into the most loved/requested teen sidekick after Robin in comics history), so a Teen Brigade title was not going to happen. I was satisfied with Rick Jones' time with Captain America, the Hulk and eventually Captain Marvel, which placed Jones at the center of many major events of the Silver and Bronze Age. That sounds like a Betty and Veronica nightmare waiting to happen, and with the characters in a spin off, I doubt the conversation leading to Gwen's death would have occured at all. Instead, Aunt May probably would have been target number one to shake things up in ASM. |
