[edit] Additional Info

There were also a slew of minor characters, for example Gypo the giant Gypsy or Whitewash (Whizzer's Amos n' Andy-esque sidekick). These aren't usually referenced by fans likely because they consist of racist cariactures that are no longer acceptable.

[edit] The Twelve

A number of old Timely characters will be reappearing as part of The Twelve - which will bring more characters into the Marvel Universe (see above). I have dropped a note into the Comics Project [1] with some ideas about filling in the gaps in the characters and would appreciate as much input as possible so that we can have something in place for when the series starts to roll.
