This is the thread for characters you would like to see more of or know about!
Inspired by the discussion from the JL Detroit Create Your own team thread that brought up all sorts of under used characters.
The "I'm surprised they haven't ended up as canon fodder in the latest Teen Titans massacre" OR "They're about to be drafted for the Avengers"

Ben Boxer Looks a lot like Captain Comet. I have never heard of him before, it seems he is a human from a post disaster Earth and is invulnerable to radiation. Although it looks like he can change into a Silver Surfer. Maybe he is like Duplicate Boy ...

Wonder Boy did surprisingly well in the Titans Idol. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af278/megacity07/Terrific_Comics_Vol_1_16_zpsd00356f9.jpg) He looks GIANT sized! ![[Linked Image]](http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af278/megacity07/WonderBoy_zpsd313ddcf.png)

Ultra the Multi-Alien OR Ultraa ![[Linked Image]](http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af278/megacity07/250px-Ultradcu0_zps264f522d.jpg) Not enough Australian super heroes. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af278/megacity07/images-1_zpsb8e882b5.jpg)

Who the hell is this? Captain Marvel ? ![[Linked Image]](http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af278/megacity07/CM231-1966-p01_zpse4c865c5.jpg) He freaks me out! ![[Linked Image]](http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af278/megacity07/CM231-1966-p07_zpsf8b46c80.jpg) I thought he was wearing a hat at first, and thought a flat cap/driver was an interesting choice for a super hero. but no, it is his hair.

Everything about Ben Boxer is awesome. Just upgrade his 'cyclo-heart' so that it can make him impervious to other things (and not just radiation by turning into his silver form) and he's sort of like the Immune (ancient Legion villain) or Nemesis Kid or Darwin, someone able to adapt himself to various environments and hazards. Ultra the Multi-Alien is just weird. How does have a chicken's foot give you the power to fly like that? Wouldn't he be all yanked around, dangling from that one winged ankle, flailing in midair? Oh, Golden Age. If I was going to be zapped by four aliens to gain their powers, it would be a Coluan, Green Martian, Carggite and Kryptonian or something.  But I'd probably end up being zapped by an Athramite, a Bismollan, a Zwennian and whatever- Queeg-is or something.

BEE BOY: THE LEGION RUINED HIS LIFE![[Linked Image]](https://38.media.tumblr.com/02f462116296a72b54d062c8a9d191cb/tumblr_n7ku2e6k4c1s9foqqo1_400.jpg) Transformed into a Bee Boy by his scientist father to save his life... (and a female Bee Boy at that: males don't have stingers) ... Bee Boy suffers from PTSD to the point of near-psychosis. At the end of the story in Superboy #127, Superboy promises Bee Boy that he will find an antidote, and promises Lana that she will see her friend again, and the editor promises "watch this magazine for the astounding answer... coming soon!" BUT... beginning in Superboy #128, the book begins guest-starring the Legion, eventually becoming "Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes." Bee Boy was never seen again.

The mis-gender-identified Bee-Boy was next seen as Queen Bee, ruler of Bee-alya.

The Prince Gavyn Starman made several cameos on the JLU toon.
Monark Starstalker... his name just doesn't roll off the tongue very easily!

Monark Starstalker When you've quite finished Monark, you can help the lady to her feet. Can't you see she's tripped over your spurs? Who's that lurking over in that dark nebula? Oh, that's just Monark. He's a starstalker. Creep.
