From the obscure to the super-obscure. "Is This Fair Boy", lower right-hand corner, sitting beneath the two weird fishy-thingies. http://pics.livejournal.com/icon_uk/pic/002s95xk Never appeared again. Nothing is known about him. No powers, no name. Probably too young to begin the training anyway. In my own mind, this is Matter-Eater Lad's nephew, Elevenzil Kem.

Although I, myself, Tom Tanner, am also an obscure character-- featured in "The Secret of the Seventh Super-Hero", Adventure Comics #290, November 1961, in a stunning orange jumpsuit.
But everyone knew that already, right?

How about Charma? She first appeared with Grimbor in one of the issues Grell drew. She could control men, but seemingly enraged women. She only made one appearance that I know of, and if memory serves me, Grimbor claimed she died in prison. I think she would be an interesting character to bring back.

I believe that Charma was brought back in the issue where Wildfire's "kid brother" AKA Squire Burroughs....was "back"...sigh. that issue was very "forgottable".

In my own mind, this is Matter-Eater Lad's nephew, Elevenzil Kem.I've always loved him!! In my pea-brain, he was a kid robot & that's why he wasn't accepted.

But everyone knew that already, right? Of course! Tom Tanner's appearance is also associated with the historic first use of the word "stupid" in Legion history, as chronicled in this thread!
