Hello. Hi. Howdy.
Welcome back to One A Day. Today, submitted for your approval:
A police officer pushed beyond his breaking point, and turned violent vigilante:
American Panther
An aspiring entertainer and football player, crippled by gang gunfire. With a revolutionary exoskeleton he was granted a new life as a Hollywood hero
Hit Maker
A would-be world conqueror who wanted to use the power of the Savage Land volcanoes to take over the world. He’s clashed with Ka-zar and the Thing:
Volcanus
All would be neat to get.
My goodness, take away my comic nerd card. I'm unfamiliar with all of these guys. Appreciate the blurbs- I love learning about new-to-me characters. Out of these, Volcanus appeals to me the most because of his old school design. Might pick him up. Would pass on the other two.

To be honest, I come across some of these characters just by pursuing sites. Both Volcanus and American Panther were new to me. I hadn’t encountered either in my reading days. Found them in Comic Vine listings and did a little digging. I get a little kick out of bringing these obscure characters back into the light, to give them some exposure to other readers (past & present). Marvel (and DC) have such a rich history of characters, some just get lost in the shuffle.
@detectivehoag Agreed- I used to think I knew all the characters because I pored over the OHOTMU when I was a kid/teen in the 80s, but so many never made it into those old handbooks.
The only one that I did recognized was American Panther, cause his story arch took place, after Black Panther briefly took over for Daredevil, in the Aftermath of Shadowland.
I tried to do the ending as a spoiler, but even in the spoiler brackets, it still showed what I wrote, without hiding it.
Amercian Panther as a design is something that tugs at me, but reading up on him - yikes. Volcanus would be good in a BAF wave.
Yeah... I'd buy the American Panther figure - you know why.
Volcanus has that sort of vaguely kirby design that just works and would make a decent figure even if I'm not familiar with the character

Couldn't have said it better myself. Ditto.
Hey everyone - I'm back, sort of.
I'll start posting again on Sunday with a little different format.
Many thanks to @detectivehoag for keeping the thread going!
I'd pass on Hit Maker.
I'd pick up American Panther because I like the look.
Volcanus would be great in a baf wave I wanted.
Welcome back @Beamish. Happy to help out. Anything I can do to make your transition easier, let me know. Look forward to your taking the helm again.

today were doing a little dimension hopping. We’ll start with:
the sorcerer supreme of the Purple Dimension. A despot who tricks other beings into his realm to make slaves of them.
Aggamon
next we’ll stop in the Ultraverse, and check in on a man who fancies himself the instrument of balance between good and evil, countering every good deed with a bad deed, and vice-versa.
Double Edge
finally, we’ll be returning to the main Marvel universe. He’s the leader of The Claws, and an enemy of Hawkeye and Mockingbird.
