Forgotten Superheroes
Commander Fancy
By day: fabulous fashion designer Percy Whittlebaker. By night: feared crusader for taste Commander Fancy! With his sidekick, a kung-fu pug named Hans, Commander Fancy vowed to rid the world of cheap knockoffs and fashion disasters.
Weakness: Polyester
First Appearance: Daredevil # 37 "The Woman Who Wore White After Labor Day!"
Scrumptious P. Dimples
Originally marketed to young girls, Scrumptious P. Dimples taught self esteem and etiquette while continuing to foil the evil plans of Grouchy Q. McGrumblebum. Hugs N' Stuff Comix discontinued the series after marketing research revealed that 99% of the fan base consisted of men well beyond the target age demographics.
Weaknesses: Sour candy, bad table manners
First Appearance: Scrumptious P. Dimples # 1 "Scrumptious P. Dimples Loves You!"
The Superfluous Sextet
This band of also-ran third stringers generally arrived whenever a crisis had already been resolved. Most issues consisted of the team hanging around, asking bravely if anyone needed additional assistance, bragging to girls about things they would have done had they been around for the tornado/bank robbery/meteor strike, or asking to use the bathroom. Eventually renamed "The Midwest Avengers" and faded into obscurity.
Weakness: Any actual situation that might require action
First Appearance: The Avengers # 167 "Hey, Who the Hell are Those Guys?"
