The Multiple Man. He can make a pretty much infinite amount of copies of himself, then send them out to learn stuff. After they go through law school, become shaolin masters, etc., he absorbs them and gains all of their knowledge.

I always liked the old Charlton comics superheroes:

Dynamo - had a belt that made him strong.
Blue Beetle - Egyptian scarab beetle powered guy
Norman (?) - who could transfer his spirit between robotic models
Nemesis - can't remember exactly but he was a bit spritual IIRC
Captain Atom - American nuked and given the power of atom bombs
Peter Cannon - Thunderbolt - given mystic powers in Tibet - "I Can do it, Iwill do it, I MUST do it"

Some were rejigged by DC a few years ago I seem to remember.

 

[HeatMan Advance]

People have named several heroes who have had their own movies....

I thought this was not well known heroes.

Super Hrvoye was a good mention. I've never heard of him. He seems interesting.

Some of them were Alan Moore's basis for The Watchmen ... after DC refused to let him actually use the Charlton characters, he simply based characters on them ...

Constantine is known by most only as the character played by Keanu Reeves ... not as many know the 'real' John Constantine ...

Yeah the Constantine in that movie is just different, not only in look but in voice, mind and everything else.

They're not even the same character. The movie was only loosely based on the real John Constantine and it's a pretty fucking lame adaptation. :/

Since we're talking about the Constantine movie, a short story:
I'm sitting in a theater with my cousin, forgot what movie, then the trailer for Constantine shows up. I had no idea there was gonna be a movie and as the trailer was about to end I fuckin' shouted "HELLBLAZER!" then the title slowly zooms in and whispers "Constantine". I got a lot of weird looks and some people at our back laughed and said "Haha, what the hell is Hellblazer."

I FAIL

I second The Maxx (I still have some issues of 'em including when he fought Pitt lol). I'd mention some more Image Comics characters but only people who don't read comics anyway won't know 'em.

That's a shame, wanted it in the cinema release.
