Mister Fantastic or the Invisible Woman? Maybe Cheeks The Wonder Toy could have his own title... wouldn't need much work by a letterist.  Space Ghost had only one issue of his own comic in the '60s and one issue by Steve Rude twenty-thirty years after that... but I would've loved for there have been a regular '60s-'70s comic with Toth art for the title feature and a Dan Spiegel Herculouds back-up series. There was a single late '70s Marvel anything like that under a Hanna Barbera TV Stars logo. They gave top billing to a dog...  |

Space Ghost got a one-shot at DC and a later mini-series, that gave him and Jan & Jace an origin (which I hated; but, anyway...) He and the Herculoids appeared in Western/Gold Key's Hanna-Barbera Super TV Heroes, along with Birdman, Mightor, Young Hercules, Shazzan, Moby Dick and The Galaxy Trio. To be fair to Dyno Mutt, he had a hit tv show, at the time and had his own series, at Marvel. He's a go-go dog person, you know..... |

Did Wildcat ever get a solo-series?
Took a glance at GCD and saw that he shared a mini-series with Batman twice, Catwoman once, and all three times was second-billed. I wasn't smart enough to think of Wildcat myself, but that's a good one - the kind of character I was picturing when I read the thread title.
I'm not up on the DC characters as much as the Marvel but I always liked the idea of Wildcat being an ex champion heavyweight boxer, and also having that sort of American tough-guy persona, generic though it might have been in comics and other US pop-culture media of the day, something like Marvel's Nick Fury. |

 Despite the popularity of a similar character, Daredevil, at Marvel, Dr Mid-Nite has only ever had a 3 issue limited series.  Despite sharing a limited series with the Scarlet Witch, having a 4 issue limited series around 2000 or so, and the highly acclaimed recently maxi-series by Tom King, the Vision has never had his own ongoing series. |

I was just thinking, who's the biggest comic character who's only appeared in team books and has never had a (regular) solo series? I cant think of many, even characters who were primarily members of a team ended up having their own books eventually. Thinking outside the superhero box... what about members of the Archie or Peanuts gangs? They are way more famous than, say, Kitty Pryde.
If we're going in that direction: Obelix or Captain Haddock.

Changeling/Beast Boy never had a solo series ever (outside of a 2000 mini series), neither did Raven (again, outside of a mini). Raven currently has an ongoing series. |

Obelix got one album in the title role at least though it seemed to go to his head... (I don't think Dogmatix got to taste what Fast Freddy's Cat got several issues of, guess he was just part of the "and Co.").  |
