LINKAnnoyed to see Puck on this list—until I read the entry and was reminded of what they did to him after I left.

Creatives are often asked where they get their ideas from, but reading that summary makes me think said creatives were high as a kite when they wrote it.

Good lord. That's quite a retcon they did to him.
He was named after a hockey puck? I always assumed it was more in line with the Shakespeare character and the definition as a "mischievous sprite" but I overlooked the hockey/Canada connection.

His skin is like rubber? Where was that established? I don’t remember
Mantlo even doing that.

Puck was my favourite member of AF under JB (with #5 being a particular highlight).
What Mantlo did to him was just horrible.

I'd get 3-D Man off that list. Actually thought it was a pretty interesting concept, just not executed well by others after the original Marvel Premiere run.

Dr. Bong?!? You can't make fun of something intended as a joke! Why not Turnip Man and Hell-Cow too?!?
People who clearly don't know what they're talking about should be ignored.

I feel like there are no bad characters, only "Ridiculous" writers.

Puck was one of my favorite characters! I realize they put him on that list based on what was done to him after JB had left, so I'm glad I didn't see any of that. But he was awesome to me!
Also, Paste-Pot-Pete, at the beginning, literally had a bucket of paste he had to carry around with him!

Loved puck!!
Brian - in the Avengers run by Busiek and Perez they modernized 3D man (Trinity) into a cool concept that really worked (and incorporated his past history) - so yes no lame characters.

JB, I'm glad you made a point of proving "lame" characters could be fun and interesting during your SHE-HULK run.
Worth noting that you seemed to prove THAT in most of your runs.

++++++++++++++++++++++++ I know. Triathalon. Who they eventually turned into the new 3D-Man, with Chuck and Hal reunited.
