Marvel Comics has created hundreds of superheroes over the decades… but some of them were left behind. Not because they were bad — but because the timing was wrong, the tone didn’t fit, or the market just moved on. In Part Four of this series, I’m revisiting five more forgotten Marvel characters who deserve a second chance — and explaining why they might actually work better now than ever before. Dive into the world of obscure Marvel heroes, exploring characters who didn't get a Disney Plus cameo but absolutely deserve a second look. These underrated Marvel characters, once sidelined, now resonate with themes of trauma and identity. Check out how these strange superheroes might actually fit better today than when they first showed up. From the fiery justice of Blazing Skull to the street-level charm of Rocket Racer, the cosmic heroics of Quasar, the vampire-hunting grit of Hannibal King, and the tragic strength of She-Thing, these aren't just obscure names — they’re reflections of ideas that matter more now than ever.

If you’ve got a favorite forgotten Marvel hero — or a pitch for how one of these could be revived — drop it in the comments. And if you enjoyed the video, make sure to like, subscribe, and share it around.
