Snowflame is RAD! I was in a mutants and Masterminds game where we had to play the most obscure character we could think of (no googling) and I picked Snowflame. they all thought I was making him up.
Extraneo was going to be my second choice. (New Guardians rocked and I'll fight anyone who says different. I'll get my ass kicked but, still...)
I think most of them were mentioned as having been killed in a Justice Society issue to amp up the new villain Roulette, who ran the Meta-Brawl, a super-being cage fight to the death where characters were unceremoniously killed off off panel.
It was one of those acutely annoying "Look at the posters on the walls and see all this D list characters we've killed, aren't we cool? You'll either not know who they are, so it has no impact, or do know who they are, in which case it will do nothing but irritate you"
also 'parents are the last people on earth who should have children' maybe turns out to be double-edged; you think he's saying Peacemaker's father is awful but in retrospect it's maybe more 'i wish this guy was never born...'
This was fun. I wholeheartedly support the Cenafication of this character: he works much better as an over-the-top parody than a serious meditation on becoming the thing you hate, or HAVING to become the thing you hate so that you can make everyone ELSE stop being that thing, or whatever. The name's a little too on the nose for that.

(Reading about her after her appearance in Young Justice went broadly like this:
"Hmm, wonder what happened to her. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, for-")
